Abstract
The rapid development in both computer and telecommunication technologies has resulted in massive interconnectivity and interoperability of systems. The world is getting more and more interconnected every day. Most major organization systems are interconnected to other systems through networks. The bigger the networks, the bigger the security problems involving the system resources on these networks. Many companies, businesses, and institutions whose systems work in coordination and collaboration with other systems as they share each others’ resources and communicate with each other face a constant security threat to these systems, yet the collaboration must go on.
