Impacts and Risk Assessment of Technology for Internet Security: Enabled Information Small-Medium Enterprises (TEISMES) / Edition 1

by Charles A. Shoniregun

Overview

This study investigates the impacts and risk assessment of technology-ena­ bled information (TET), vsubhich are engaged in the process of discovering the opportunities and challenges presented by TEI to the new form of small medi­ um enterprises (SME) business transactions: Technology Enable Information Small Medium Enterprises (TEISME). Within the UK economy, the notion of TEISMEs is one that forms the focus for this research. Other technologies that enabled information are also discussed. For example electronic mail (e-mail), voice mail, facsimile machines (fax), teleconferencing, data conferencing, vid­ eo conferencing, electronic data interchange (EDI), and mobile phone (WAP), which are geared towards ease of transferring information are investigated. The electronic marketplace itself can be described as an on-line location for buyers and sellers to meet and conduct their business and complete transac­ tions. This study identified ways of minimising the risk liability of TEISME busi­ ness operations as a result of their dependences on TEI (Internet-eC). The rapid evolution and spread of information technology (IT) during the last few years is challenging SMEs, governments and the Internet security professionals to rethink the very nature of risk exposure. Parallel to this notion is the task of identifying: the technologies for Internet Security, the generic problems with network prool layers, and key elements or threads that might be common to all TEISMEs business operations.
