October 2008 Prepared by: André Nordal Sylte University of the Sunshine Coast Word count: 1665 Executive summary This report, authorised by Justin Debuse in Introduction to ICT, BUS108, looks at ICT architecture and security in an organisation. This report found that the major security threats within an organisation’s ICT are; Cracking into an organisation’s wireless intranet in search for vital corporate information; Former employees accessing wireless intranets and extranets without authorization; Information sent via an extranet could be intercepted in its transit; Viruses and Trojans accidentally downloaded by employees and been spread around the LAN. Solutions to these threats are; WiFi protected access (WPA) password and hide the network; ICTs should be protected with a login screen for the users; To secure an extranet, organisations should use a virtual private network (VPN); Any organisation should provide basic training in how to detect viruses and Trojans. This is a proactive way to prevent an infection in a whole organisation’s LAN. This report also found that the major legal and ethical issues within an organisation’s ICT are; Employee monitored by computer technology and in the building; Privacy on e-mail stored on an organisation’s computer; Illegal and offensive use of an organisation’s computer.

Since computers help us to deal with approximately all the major functions of our lives as well as are so inevitable that spending even a day or two away from the computer can leave us feeling powerless. In this prospect, many people control their routine lives by means of their personal computers. However, at the present computer security has become a very critical issue. Additionally, security refers to the technique to discover as well as stop illicit utilization of our secret information or computer. In this scenario, some preventive measures enable us to stop criminal users (as well known as "intruders") from accessing and using some part of our computer system. In addition, recognition of such intrusions helps us in deciding whether or not somebody tried to gain access into our computer system, if they were successful in their attempt, as well as what they could have acquired from the system (ComputerSecurityService, 2011), (Armor2net Software Ltd., 2004) and (Norton, 2001). In addition, the term “computer security” is very commonly used, though; the information and data saved on a computer are in danger...
