ABSTRACT

This study investigates the topic of computer world between continued development and the security systems and protection laws. The study explores the facts that there is a constant change in the information technology world and along with that the rise of protection issues in the security systems also increasing. The study thus continues to find the conclusion how the protection laws are effective in eliminating the threats of security systems.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

Research Problem

When computer-based systems or the means by which these systems' electronic data are transmitted (i.e. critical information and communication technology, information technology etc.) is disrupted, the resulting problems are serious. Losing access to vital records and legal documents; losing productivity and accountability; and losing revenue are just a few of the tangible results of such a failure. One only needs to turn on the evening news or read a newspaper to know the effect a major security systems disruption has - the impact on ordinary life is far-reaching. The consequences of a systems failure are much more than an inconvenience; these events lead to public distrust, fear and confusion.

Research Hypothesis

In less than two decades, advances in information and communications technologies have revolutionized government, scientific, educational, and commercial infrastructures. Powerful personal computers, high-bandwidth and wireless networking technologies, and the widespread use of the Internet have transformed stand-alone systems and predominantly closed networks into a virtually seamless fabric of interconnectivity. The types of devices that can connect to this vast information technology (IT) infrastructure have multiplied to include not only fixed wired devices but mobile wireless ones. (Fafinski, 2007) A growing percentage of access is through always-on connections, and users and organizations are increasingly interconnected across physical and logical networks, organizational boundaries, and national borders. As the fabric of connectivity has broadened, the volume of electronic information exchanged through what is popularly known as security systems has grown dramatically and expanded beyond traditional traffic to include multimedia data, process control signals, and other forms of data. New applications and services that use IT infrastructure capabilities are constantly ...
