Security Criteria Awareness Overview of Security Criteria Awareness in Finnish Companies Rantanen Master’s Thesis 05 2021 Technology, communication, and transport Master’s Degree in Cyber Security Description Rantanen, Otto Security Criteria Awareness - Overview of Security Criteria Awareness in Finnish Companies Jyväskylä: JAMK University of Applied Sciences, May 2021, 79 pages. Technology, communication, and transport. Degree Programme in Cyber Security. Master's thesis. Permission for web publication: Yes Language of publication: English Abstract Dell is a large American company with roots dating back to 1984. In 2015, Dell embarked on a project to acquire EMC Corporation, which was completed in one of the largest acquisitions in the IT industry and re- sulted in Dell Technologies. Because of its broad product and service portfolio, Dell Technologies is involved in the infrastructure of almost every Enterprise-level company and, to a significant extent, smaller compa- nies. The idea for the work came from my empirical findings when working with client companies. Dell Technolo- gies ’service portfolio is constantly expanding, but leveraging it more efficiently requires an understanding of customer companies’ internal processes and needs. The purpose of the dissertation is to get an idea of Dell Technologies' customer companies’ knowledge of security criteria’s, as well as the possible need for external assistance in the Finnish customer field, so that Dell Technologies can better target its services to the right needs in a right way. Theme interview was chosen as the research method as it allows gathering large amounts of data from a relatively small sample. Theme interview is qualitative research method and results from the interviews were analysed by using narrative analysis and pointing out the answers to the questions. Other relevant and possibly useful data was also analysed and the data from which the conclusions were drawn can be found from the document. The most significant consideration was how large the difference in knowledge and application of the crite- ria was between public and private sector actors. Due to the small sample size, this should be treated with caution and the companies' industry can also have a significant impact on the results. Conclusions were drawn from a seemingly small sample, but the data collected helped to a significant ex- tent to understand the needs of customer companies and how to target services to them. Possible further research around the topic could improve Dell Technologies' competitiveness in Finland's relatively small market area where service provision plays a significant role. Keywords/tags (subjects) Appliance, Cyber Security, Dell Technologies, Framework, Security Criteria Miscellaneous (Confidential information) Appendices 3-6 are confidential and removed from the public thesis. The basis for secrecy is section 24(17) of the Act on the Openness of Government Activities (621/1999), a company’s business or trade secret. The period of secrecy is five (5) years, the secrecy will end on 25th of May 2026. 1 Contents Acronyms ............................................................................................................................ 4 1 Introduction ................................................................................................................ 5 1.1 Thesis Scope and Goals ..................................................................................................... 6 1.2 Dell Technologies .............................................................................................................. 7 1.3 Selected Research-Method ............................................................................................... 8 1.3.1 Narrative Analysis .................................................................................................. 12 1.3.2 Sentiment Analysis................................................................................................. 12 1.4 Goal of this Thesis ........................................................................................................... 13 1.4.1 Research Question ................................................................................................. 13 1.5 Previous Research ........................................................................................................... 14 1.5.1 Summary ................................................................................................................ 14 2 Theoretical Base ........................................................................................................ 16 2.1 DELL Technologies Services ............................................................................................. 17 2.1.1 Basic Deployment .................................................................................................. 19 2.1.2 ProDeploy .............................................................................................................. 19 2.1.3 ProDeploy Plus ....................................................................................................... 19 2.1.4 Additional Deployment Time ................................................................................. 20 2.2 Appliance-based Infrastructure Solutions....................................................................... 20 2.2.1 Dell Technologies Cloudboost ............................................................................... 21 2.2.2 Dell Technologies PowerStore ............................................................................... 21 2.2.3 Dell Technologies VxRail ........................................................................................ 22 2.3 Appliance Related Vulnerabilities ................................................................................... 22 2.4 Global Cyber Events ........................................................................................................ 26 2.4.1 1994 – Russian Hacker Case .................................................................................. 26 2.4.2 Slammer Worm ...................................................................................................... 26 2.4.3 2020 – Vastaamo Data Breach in Finland .............................................................. 27 2.5 Common Frameworks for IT-system Benchmarking ....................................................... 28 2.5.1 NIST Cybersecurity Framework ............................................................................. 28 2.5.2 HIPAA ..................................................................................................................... 30 2.5.3 PCI-DSS ................................................................................................................... 32 2.5.4 KATAKRI ................................................................................................................. 33 2.5.5 PITUKRI................................................................................................................... 34 2.5.6 Common Criteria -

Anderson Submitted to the MIT Sloan School of Management on March 15, 2012 in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy ABSTRACT The innovative firm must continually evaluate its boundaries - decisions often shaped through make-buy-partner evaluations and choices about where to define the firm's competences. Building off of earlier work that suggests heterogeneity in types of organizational competences, I submit that a firm's portfolio of organizational capabilities map across three states: core, supplementary, and complementary.

    Business Model Evolving: Technology Strategy and New Value Capture Routines Phillip C. Anderson Assistant Professor Strategy and Entrepreneurship College of Business University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign 1206 S. 6th Street 467 Wohlers Hall Champaign, IL 61820 [email protected] Mobile: 617-990-6043 September 14, 2015 – Please do not cite, quote, or circulate without permission – 1 Abstract When and how do business models evolve in a fast-changing environment? As a mediating link between technological innovation and firm performance, the business model is able to link two important dimensions of the firm: value creation and value capture. Yet, the construct suffers from fuzzy definitions, empirical silos, and a lack of theoretical development. Based on the existing literature, we build a value capture framework that is able to facilitate comparisons between a wide variety of business model types. Using a historical case study of two initiatives to extend a product- service business model at a technology product firm, the current paper explores when and how the business model as a system of organizational routines evolves as the firm’s technology strategy continues to shift. 1 Introduction When and how do business models evolve in a fast-changing environment? Schumpeterian innovation is often a time when new firms introduce new technologies as well as new business models to capture value from creative destruction (Schumpeter, 1942). The emergence of e-Business and web-enabled firms that accompanied the Internet in the mid-1990s has created a new context for old business models and in many cases spawned new business models (Amit and Zott, 2001, Baden-Fuller and Haefliger, 2013).

An Event Study Analysis of the Dell-EMC Merger A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science Applied Economics and Statistics by Courtney Meddaugh August 2017 Accepted by: Dr. Thomas Hazlett, Committee Chair Dr. Raymond Sauer Dr. Matthew Lewis 1 Abstract The Dell-EMC merger presents a massive technology merger that will likely have an impact on many different markets. This paper uses this merger in order to test three commonly used methods of determining abnormal stock returns and finds that the three methods do not significantly differ. In addition, event study methodology is employed to evaluate share price reactions of competitors of Dell and EMC in response to categorized merger announcements leading up to the acquisition. It is determined that although some competitor returns move in a direction that could imply anti-competitiveness, these results are likely caused by occurrences unrelated to the merger. ii 2 Acknowledgements I thank my dad for his continued support during my thesis-writing process as well as all throughout my time at Clemson.
