ABSTRACT
Th e development of Internet technology has originated a surge of new application solutions to improve business practices in corporations and government. For corporations, this technology has allowed companies to be more competitive and profi table from a global perspective and has changed the way people do business. For government, the Internet serves as a way of providing better services and information to the public. In Chapter 23, we examined some of the infrastructure used to support Internet technology. In this chapter, we take one step further in examining security and privacy issues in information technology (IT). Maintaining security and privacy requires corporate planning, training, implementing controls properly, monitoring the eff ectiveness of controls, and taking necessary corrective action.
