From the Paper:

"The security of the computer system to be installed has to be part of the design from the start. The security system needs to take into account the threat of computer crime, hackers, and even employees who misuse the system. Key to the system has to be the protection of data from intruders from any internal or external source. Much computer crime today is an external threat. The types of fraud are numerous, in keeping with different types of business and with different degrees of vulnerability. Businesses suffer because of identity theft, hackers, computer viruses and worms, and employee abuse of the system."
