Abstract: Abstract Security breaches to computer systems have consistently been a major drain on organizations, both private and public. Providing information system security is challenged by environments containing evolving business requirements, with technology constantly being upgraded. Vendors regularly have to send alerts to their clients. The computer security industry is rapidly growing in response to the concerns of those operating organizational computing systems. Threats arise externally and internally. External threats include attacks by organized criminals as well as potential threats from terrorists. Internal threats are also present. Some problems arise due to turbulence in personnel, through new hires, transfers, and terminations. Most insider computer security incidents have been found to involve former employees.
