Abstract: Abstract The protection of information has always been a challenge. There is a lack of academic research regarding the protection of information in small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs). The purpose of this research study was to gain an under-standing of the role of information systems security in SMEs in the South East of Ireland. This paper outlines the importance of SMEs in Ireland and examines the implementation of information systems security in those organisations. The study reports on the security technologies that are implemented and examines issues re-garding the implementation of those technologies. This study employed a quanti-tative approach to gather empirical data
