Abstract
This paper utilizes Amazon and eBay to demonstrate that the Internet not only offers businesses a unique set of opportunities to reach customers in an unprecedented and successful manner but also creates a plethora of threats to their front-end and back-end systems. The author points out that front-end systems refer to a workstation or group of workstations, which supply operators with the ability to network with a large-scale computer system; whereas, back-end systems refer to business and legacy systems that support inventory, the order processing and receivables for both buyers and suppliers in business-to-business e-commerce. The paper examines the security analysis process and the associated assessment tools, which assist online businesses in eliminating or reducing these security vulnerabilities.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"These are emails that are sent to members supposedly from eBay. These emails assert that there is some type of problem with the member's account and their username and password is needed to address the problem. The individuals that send the emails then use this information to enter member accounts and in many cases charge the credit cards of members or place ads in their name. To combat this issue, eBay warns members to always log into the official eBay site because it provides a list of all the emails that have been sent to the member by eBay. If an email is not contained in the list, it is a fake email and should be discarded."

Abstract
The paper looks at the difference between physical security and digital/logical security. The paper explains the role of the traditional security director and the difficulties of setting up systems that are not tangible compared to setting up perimeter fences or deploying security guards across the facility. The paper examines arguments for and against a single security director. The paper concludes that the executive management is the sole determining group for whether security should be with two people or just one person. The paper is of the opinion that the current trend of having one person trained in both areas makes good business sense and will ensure a total security posture.
From the Paper
"In the days before the ubiquity of the computers and the Internet, security was confined to physical, personnel, communications and operations of a business enterprise or an infrastructure. The security director is the overall in charge of ensuring that barriers, locks and other mechanical devices are properly used to control access to the facility. Personnel are briefed and lectured on protecting themselves within the corporate premises and when they are out of the office. They are warned about corporate espionage, criminal elements and other nefarious individuals or organizations that can do harm to their persons or the company."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Security has always been an issue with companies that keep sensitive records regarding clients and their business, but the issue has become more complex in an era in which many records are kept on computer so that putting records under lock and key can only be part of the solution. In the current case, the client has particular concerns and is willing to pay any amount of money to protect financial records, health records, and communication data such as codeword archives, precious gems/stones/minerals, and formulas for nuclear energy. This client is further concerned about the current personnel responsible for these duties and curious about how to expand his operations to do more in this area, and the client wants to know our plan for bringing on trusted personnel and how he can protect against adversaries."

Abstract
Security has become the greatest concern of United States government since the terrorist attacks of September 11. But while enhanced security is desirable, the costs that are associated with it are unfortunately causing numerous financial problems for airlines in the United States. The aviation industry is already suffering from slow economic growth in the country and now with extra security expenditure, many airlines fear they will fail to post profit in the next few quarters. The paper discusses the rising cost of security and how it is hurting airline business in the United States. The paper also sheds light on general condition of airlines immediately after September 11, which helps in understanding why extra security costs are highly undesirable in these financially chaotic times.

Appendix
From the Paper
"Globalization can be seen both as a historical project and as a process that affects social relations of peoples, groups and states.(Bello, 1998) It is conceived as a historical conjuncture of the modernist project (McMichael 1996) that promotes the ideological framework of neoliberalism (Kinvall 2002: 5-6). The principles of free market economics constitute the policy package called the Washington Consensus - trade liberalization, financial deregulation, privatization, and inflation and currency exchange stability policies - which became the cornerstone of structural adjustment policies (SAPs) implemented in many economies. While Latin America and Africa have severely suffered from neoliberal globalization, Asia stands as an exceptional case of successful integration in the global economy (Dittmer 2002). Asia Pacific projected itself to the world as the most dynamic region characterized by growth with equity: rapid and sustained economic growth, equitable distribution of incomes, and dramatic improvements in human welfare (Rigg 2003: Table 1.3: 10; World Bank 1993)."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that in the past decade, the topic of e-business and its' utilization in the pharmaceutical industry has emerged as a significant factor for patients, doctors and online pharmacies. The writer discusses that the operation of e-business has revolutionized communication and has changed the ways hospitals and pharmacies conduct business. The writer points out that from online customer service to remote diagnostics, the World Wide Web offers businesses tools that enhance production, sales, customer satisfaction and profits, as a result. The writer concludes that in the future, perhaps e-business will revolutionize itself so much that prescriptions and medical evaluations will be able to be conducted online, through the use of online video portals and the like.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The legal system has been greatly affected by the security and regulatory concerns affecting e-business, and as a result, existing laws have changed and new ones have been implemented accordingly. In recent years, the importance of legal issues in information systems security as it affects the pharmaceutical industry is a pressing concern for both governments and healthcare organizations regarding the protection of the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data. The regulations implemented by HIPAA increase the security of patient sensitive information, which cannot be exchanged by third parties unless consented to by the patient. This law was implemented to increase the protection of identifiable information of patients such as name, address, contact information, and diagnosis."

From the Paper
"The areas in which e-commerce has the potential to grow most in future include the small businesses. According to an October 2002 report from the Small Business Administration, seventy percent of America?s small businesses (defined as those with less than 250 employees) do not have a Web presence. It is obvious that the use of the Internet promotes the growth of e-commerce. In the past, the U.S. led the way in Internet adoption. Present trends indicate that Internet use is now expanding internationally. Countries in Latin America and Asia are angling to compete for business internationally. Hence, future growth in e-commerce would not be confined to the US. American companies can increase the integration of their supply chains to benefit from the international increase of Internet use."

Security and Value, 2008.
A description of a research proposal survey carried out to determine the value of security in businesses.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper describes a research proposal that will investigate the perceived and actual value attached to the investment a business makes in security. The paper relates that one of the problems identified is that security is often seen as an expense that does not provide value that is concomitant with the investment. The paper then explains that the study will explore whether security investments provide comparable value and what can be done to provide the business professional with greater value in terms of a security investment. The paper also describes the businesses that will be examined in the study, as well as the methodology to be used and the estimated timetable for the study.
Outline:
Area of Interest and Problem/Phenomenon to be Studied
Questions and Hypotheses
Locating the Problem/Phenomenon in the Literature
Ethics and Methodology
Proposed Sections and Envisaged Timetable
From the Paper
"The main hypothesis that will underscore this research relates to the fact that businesses do not appear to be positive towards security investments. Apparently the general viewpoint is that security investments do not deliver true value and these are therefore regarded as an unwelcome infringement upon the profit margin. The reasons for this view will be investigated.
Another angle for the research relates to how value can be added to security services. An interesting factor is that security professionals themselves often concur with the view that the value they provide seldom merits the investment required for security management services. The reasons for this will also be investigated, as well as whether anything can be done to improve the situation.

Abstract
This paper investigates the various precautions available for ensuring the security of data on computers within businesses and preventing invasion by hackers. The paper surveys the latest network security advances and examines their current applications. They are studied in terms of security levels, vulnerabilities, ease of use and cost to implement and maintain. The advantages and disadvantages of these applications are mentioned, as well as their suitability to specific needs. The paper also examines the current and projected needs of the Network security field. It concludes by making predictions on the future of IT security.
From the Paper
"Computer security and the protection of data has been an issue since the early 1980s when computers became standard office equipment. Company sensitive information is stored on computers. Protecting the access to and integrity of this information has been a key concern for managers and computer specialists alike. The issues in data security have not changed, however the advent of the Internet has made keeping data secure more difficult. The Internet did not change the key issues, just the number of users trying to access the information. Network administrators have been facing these issues for quite some time."

Database Security.
This paper discusses the goals of security and common security threats, including Microsoft SQL Server security techniques and web application security measures.
2,715 words (approx. 10.9 pages), 18 sources, APA, $ 81.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that database security is the protection of the database against unauthorized access, either intentional or accidental; security countermeasures should combat threats and the outcomes of such threats. The author points out that physical security means that a SQL Server system is running in a controlled-access environment in which only approved personnel have physical access to the system; whereas, appropriate physical security means that SQL Server should be isolated from web infrastructures and direct Internet access. The paper concludes that network and operating system security are not sufficient to defend against dynamic threats to a web application; therefore, database and web application server techniques are a necessity, but even with these extra layers of security in place, there's no such thing as a full-proof security system.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Access control prevents unauthorized persons from accessing a system to either obtain information or make changes. Like most databases, Microsoft SQL Server handles access control by allowing the creation of user accounts and passwords to control log-in. Additionally, Microsoft SQL Server supports the use of Windows NT Integrated Security where users are identified to the database by their Windows NT user accounts rather than user ID and password to access the database. Chapple states that this approach offers both the benefit of shifting the burden of account management to the network administration staff and it provides the ease of a single sign-on to the end user."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Wireless technology essentially refers to how one accesses the internet via any wireless methodology and is commonly known as WiFi or wireless fidelity. Security and privacy are important concerns in relation to the internet in any circumstance but these concerns are heightened when wireless technology is concerned because anyone with the appropriate technology can access networks across the internet via wireless access points even with appropriate security enhancements. The internet and all of the convenience, entertainment, and community it fosters often overshadows a darker underbelly that tends to get lost in all the popular press on the great things that are being done across this vast, global network which are concerns heightened with wireless access."
