Executive Seminar on Information Technology Security
The world and especially in Ghana’s educational networks have become heavily reliant on connectivity within the institutions and to the Internet. This connectivity facilitates the main goal of education as well as is a requirement for doing daily business related to that institution. At the same time this connectivity in which students, faculty, and staff participate has created a breading ground for vulnerabilities, threats, and compromises within these networks. Since educational networks must remain generally open in order to aid in the exchange of information these networks inherently pose great difficulty in securing and curbing the amount of intrusions since security compromises cannot be eliminated in its entirety.
