Abstract: Securing information is essential for safeguarding an organization business operation since information is a valuable asset for the organization. One of the most vital information security controls is information security awareness and practice. The purpose of this study is to assess the levels of information security awareness and practice among faculty staffs in Malaysian IHLs. The survey questionnaire was distributed to faculty staffs in University Selangor as a sample study to assess the trend of information security awareness and practice. The finding of the study shows that more than half of them were aware of the importance of information security in educational learning environment. This research is expected to contribute to information security awareness in IHLs. This research recommends that an information security policy should be developed for Malaysian IHLs.

Abstract: Height is a biometric trait which is considered as one of the important parameters for the identification of a person and nutritional status. This study generally aimed to obtain the height of a person through experimental approach utilizing computer vision. The web cam captures group of students into a single image. Canny edge detection is applied for image segmentation and Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) for background subtraction. Segmented images were evaluated to identify the ideal number of students from a controlled environment lessening computer vision constraints. Data collected from the experiment were subjected to one-way ANOVA and T-Test to analyze the difference between prototype derived height from a captured image and actual height of the student. The prototype was developed using OpenCV library integrated to C# available in Microsoft Studio 2010
