Business Security System

E-Business Security System

In today’s world, electronic business has become one of the core medium for a success of an almost any organization. Around 99 percent of the organizations throughout the world use internet on a daily basis to promote, interact, and deal with their customers. But as electronic business grew, so did the risks involved in it. Businesses and customers can be exposed to various risks when using internet. According to Davidson, internet offers potential opportunities for increasing efficiency and reducing costs but it also offers unlimited risks such as hackers, virus. Therefore, it is essential for businesses to ensure that their computer system and internet is safely secured with the help of a security system.

Organization who seek to secure their electronic information need to put in place a security policy outlining clearly "which assets to protect and why they are being protected, who is responsible for that protection and which behaviors are acceptable and which are not" (Schneider, 2011, p.420).And it will be outline how the staff should treat their personal information as well as IT things and indirect effect.

There are different ways to track internet usage by their employee and can form antivirus programmed to detect worms and viruses when they sent through spam. Cookies can monitor the internet usage of employee and clients when on the organization   website or hardware programme.Most of the compines use cookies software to track the internet usage. Antivirus software is extremely common amongst companies and PC owners to protect their hardware against viruses. ""Antivirus software detects viruses and worms and either deletes them or isolates them on the client computer so they cannot run" (Schneider, 2011, p.429).Now days most of the companies use the Norton Antivirus in their companies. And via hacker and e-mail there a lot of viruses coming out so for that we need to updated our system each and every day. Some time we may loss our business data cause of virus or another malfunction in our computer system. Companies and people explain their wants for information security and trust in terms of 4 major requirements:

• Confidentiality; is to control who gets to read the information and to conceal the information.
• Legitimate use: an unauthorized person can’t use the resource in unauthorized way.
• Integrity: needs to assure that information and programs are changed only in a specified and authorized manner.


• Availability: need to ensure that authorized users have continued access to the information.

E-Business system inherently posses a higher degree of risk than main stream applications and need high degree of security and then greater security risk then traditional business. A large number of people have access to this business through internet, and this business include the buying and selling of product and services. This business interacts with their staffs, customers, business partner and suppliers on the basis of internet and new technology in the globalization world. Before there is really hard to run these business cause lack of technology and there systems, but now days every one prefer these business in presents world.
