Why Systems Are Vulnerable? Telecommunications networks vulnerabilities
Why Systems Are Vulnerable? Type of computer crimes and criminals • Hacker: An outside person who has penetrated a computer system, usually with no criminal intent. • Cracker: A malicious hacker. • Social engineering: Getting around security systems by tricking computer users into revealing sensitive information or gaining unauthorized access privileges. • Cybercrimes: Illegal activities executed on the Internet. • Identify theft: A criminal (the identity thief) poses as someone else. • Cyberwar: War in which a country’s information systems could be paralyzed from a massive attack by destructive software. • Virus: Software that can attach itself to (“infect”) other computer programs without the owner of the program being aware of the infection.
IS Security and Control Security Treats
Protecting the Digital Firm • Firewall screening technologies • Static packet filtering • Network address translation • Application proxy filtering • Intrusion detection systems • Scanning software • Monitoring software
Security and Electronic Commerce • Encryption • Authentication • Message integrity • Digital signatures • Digital certificates • Public key infrastructure (PKI)
Article Discussion (Team DIY – Take Home) • The Myth of Secure Computing (Austin and Darby, 2003, HBR) • Why senior executives often ignore the digital security issue? • According to the authors, what are the major treats to digital security? Explain each of them. • How to mitigate the risks in digital security? What is the bottom-line?
