The Human Side of Information Technology when Technical Controls Fails
The misuse of information has significantly impacted negatively on both individuals and organizations security. The technical side of security controls is critical in an organization’s security system. This paper provides insight into some information security using the human side and other measures to protect the system. The paper also describes the technical control measures that are intended to meet the protection requirements of a system. Technical controls are security controls executed in the computer system. The controls provide automated protection from unauthorized access or misuse, facilitate detection of security violations, and support security requirements for applications and data. Since Implementation of technical controls, however, requires significant operational considerations it should, therefore, be consistent with the management of security.
Cyber Forensic and Data Collection Challenges in Nigeria
- The importance of structural investigation to obtain a reliable chain of evidence on cyber-attacks organizations or individual data for application of legal presentation in court in computer forensics. Where ever there is a discovery of evidence or proofs of illegal misuse of organization data it leads to the prosecution of the culprits. Today the technology in cyber forensic is utilizing the application of scientific methods and technics to recover data from electronic and digital media. This scientific method requires expertise that goes beyond regular forensic data collection, techniques, and practices which must conform to universal standards. Increase in the use of computer and the internet has resulted in the change in human behaviors and ways in which they communicate, this growth in technology has given rise to cybercrimes which have caused the insecurity of the cyberspace in general. The increase in the growth of computer and the Internet use has changed the human behavior and ways of communication, this growth in technology has given rise to the rise in cybercrime which is now sophisticated and difficult to trace, investigate, and prosecution of criminals without reliable and accurate data collection.
