Implementation of ICT (Information and Communication Technology) with IT services has poised to bring massive revolutionary changes in the world. The world would not be the same without the intervention of Information Technology in our day to day work. There is no doubt that implementation of ICT has got lot of advantages ,right from our banking needs to daily shopping ,from our travel needs to social networking ,everything has been revolutionized by Information Technology (William H.

Some security risks involved with conducting business online are imposters, eavesdroppers and thieves. Also, there are crackers or hackers, which are people who write programs and manipulate technologies to obtain unauthorized access to computers and networks. The elements of computer security are secrecy, integrity and necessity. Secrecy is protecting against unauthorized data disclosure. Integrity is preventing data from being modified by someone who is unauthorized and ensuring that the contents of emails aren’t changed before they get to he recipient. Necessity is preventing data delays or denials. It is important to establish a security policy to protect assets, to define acceptance and unacceptable behavior and to review physical and
Information communication technology (ICT) helps to learn theoretic development discoveries, treatment and support techniques for education and curriculum. It gives teachers, higher level teaching assistant (HLTA) and children access to educational resources from around the globe anytime and day. While using ICT, children learn concepts, history, ideas, theories and practices across culture when it is use in their classroom. HLTA and teachers however have to know how and why they are using ICT and incorporate the concepts in: social responsibility, creativity, communication, culture sensitivity, decision making technology application and usage. According to Andrews et al. (2006, p.5) “ICT has been defined as including stand-alone computers, networked technologies with a multimodal interface, mobile phones with the capacity for a range of types of communication, and other technologies that allow multimodal and interactive communication.”
Moreover, now days using information system is not as walking as in the park, it has many new security treats that the company might lose their confidential data, financial and personal information.
Information security enabled by technology must include the means of lowering the impact of intentional and unintentional errors entering the system and to prevent unauthorized internally or externally accessing the system actions to reduce risk data validation, pre-numbered forms, and reviews for duplications. It is crucial that the mission plan include the provision of a disaster recovery and business continuity plan. On the other hand, there is much more intrusion activity today than ever before. Obviously, there is an increased concern for attacks through companies’ network in an effort to either commit malice or affect the integrity of an organization’s most valuable resource. Therefore, it is important that companies do not get complacent in their IT infrastructure security. The fact of the matter, there is no perfect system; however, it behooves organizations to protect their information by way of reducing threats and vulnerabilities. Moreover, Whitman and Mattord (2010) said it best, “because of businesses and technology have become more fluid, the concept of computer security has been replaced by the concept of information security. Companies
The use of information technology in business presents major security challenges, poses serious ethical question, and affects society in significant ways. Especially, the computer crime is a growing threat to society and is caused by the criminal or irresponsible actions of individuals who are taking advantage of the widespread use and vulnerability of computers and the Internet and other networks.

In a perfect world, the capacity to place material in a World Wide Web (WWW) has pulled in countless. Hence, development of programming applications kills many-sided quality and inconvenience included in composing HTML. This move results to more sites, which are made utilizing humble level of web outline education. Clearly, individuals are gradually grasping the business utilization of web and WWW. This move has raises an extent of issues that remaining parts unsolved. The prickly moral issues incorporate protection, individual data, protected innovation, and digital wrongdoing. Security is an individual case of appreciating free space described by free from reconnaissance or interference. With a wise framework, a great many clients are liable to reconnaissance a move that undermines singular protection. Further, client data, for example, Visa card number goes through an arrangement of stage for confirmation, which triggers attack of protection. Boundless data use triggers responsibility for outcome moral issue. This move is adapted towards shielding institutional qualities and the bigger society. As being what is indicated, Kirby must build up the best component of managing the responsibility issues. Furthermore, the idea of PC wrongdoing data accessibility coming about because of approved access, utilization, adjustment and demolition of
The variety, breadth and complexity of the information systems acquire, required or available to the contemporary organizations today, along with the ever-changing dynamics observed in the information, communications and technology have led to the major changes in organizations, markets and broadly in society. Some of them are changes that in addition to its undeniable advantages have simultaneously brought threats, risks and spectra of uncertainty for individuals and organizations, on the stages of internet, intranet, technology development, information management and communication.

Different lawbreakers like programmers, saltines have possessed the capacity to clear their approach to meddle with the web accounts through different strategies such as hacking the Domain Name Server (DNS), Internet Provider 's (IP) address, ridiculing, phishing, web phishing and so on and have been fruitful in increasing "unauthorised access" to the client 's PC framework and stolen helpful information to increase tremendous benefits from client 's records Cybercrime includes criminal activities that aim PC, web, or system
Information and telecommunication technology (ICT) is rapidly growing all over the world and Ghana is no exception. In the light of rapid growth in electronic payment (E-payment) systems throughout the developed and the developing world, the financial industry in Ghana cannot remain an exception in expanding the use of the system. Technological innovations play a critical role in the banking industry by creating value for banks and customers, that it enables customers to perform banking transactions without visiting the bank’s premises. On the other hand E-banking has enabled banking institutions to compete more effectively in the global environment by extending their products and services beyond the restriction of time and space (Turban 2008). However, like the development of E-commerce, the adoption and diffusion of E-banking system is not well developed in Ghana. All banks in Ghana are too late to move with technological advancement and they should clearly chart out the time schedule for their integration and technological advancement.
Information and Communications Technology (ICT) is becoming remarkably prevalent in all spheres of people’s life such as social and work lives and even in our leisure activities (Thomas and Stratton, 2006). Interestingly, ICT is also penetrating in the field of education around the globe. Currently, social media has been widely debated in journal articles and conferences. The subjects, which are tackled, are mostly around raising awareness of the importance of technological tools as new platforms for promoting learners ‘independent learning, how they are embraced in pedagogy, and whether they can be utilized as new instructional tools outside the classroom. Simultaneously, the fact that social media is ubiquitous, it has attracted the attention of many researchers to examine either positive or aspects of using such tools in different settings (Paliktzoglou and Suhonen, 2014). Thus, the Algerian context is not an exception, indeed, the Algerian government has established numerous initiatives to encourage the use of ICT in every field (Boukhatem, 2015). In the following section, in fact, we will shed light on how technology is embraced within Algerian education system, followed by its strengths and weaknesses in teaching and learning languages.

Marchany, 2002, p.2). There are several E-commerce security components to protect the customer integrity and confidentiality. In order to grow successful in current world, E-commerce application should
Advances in ICT have increased possibilities of collaborations between the suppliers, manufactures, customers, and partners to effectively solve the different business problems. Though original equipment manufacturing industries (OEMs) has used the PLM to increase their productivity, quality of product, to speed up delivery, increased profit and became more efficiency, suppliers of this OEMs are still not using PLM. By implementing the correct strategies at supplier of foundry industry an attempt was made to realize the benefits of PLM tools (digital manufacturing tool and commercial PLM software). The case study indicated improved utilization of organizational resources and decreased in lead time of manufacturing of automobile
