CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
In today's trend of information and security treat the main tool use in businesses to protect their internal network is the firewall. A firewall is a hardware and software system that allows only external users with specific characteristics to access a protected network. While firewalls are indispensable protection for the network at keeping people out, today's focus on e-business applications is more about letting the right people inside your network. Network security can be defined as protection of networks and their services from unauthorized modification, destruction, or discovery, and provision of guarantee that the network performs in critical situations and have no harmful effects for neither user nor for employee. The International Telecommunication Union ITU, the International Information Processing IFIP, World background Organization WCO is all running to develop standards related to electronic commerce. DES was the result of a research project set up by International Business Machines (IBM) corporation in the late 1960's which resulted in a cipher known as LUCIFER. In the early 1970's it was determined to commercialise LUCIFER and a number of important changes were introduced. The encryption technology for network security, implementing information encryption and transmission on the network by using DES algorithm. Information security strategies deal with two issues: protecting the integrity of the business network and its internal systems. The field of information Technology (IT) Security as information technologies is represent merely component of information systems. A setting of a security can be defined as an organized framework consisting of concepts, beliefs, principles, policies, procedures, techniques, and measures that are required in order to protect the individual system property as well as the system as a whole against any intentional or unplanned threat.
1.1BACKGROUND OF STUDY
Information system occupies a vital and unique position in any organization by virtue of the data and information, which it contains. Security of information is of great importance to any given organization this makes the information reliable since information stored can be referenced whenever necessary access by unauthorized persons.
This project analysis the activities and importance of securing information in any organizations and to see that the information is accurately maintained to help the management in decision making and control of the diverse activities of the organization.
1.2STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
In spite of the level of computation of various organizations, this particular organization on discussion is still at the grass root level. It requires a certain degree of protection especially of vital equipment's, properties and information and this cannot be realized through the current system of operation, which is the manual system.
1.3PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
The purpose of this study is to provide a network based, security information system and interactive package that will accurately and efficiently record all data and information about business operation and management.
It will also eradicate the numerous problems associated with the manual technique of securing information in order to facilitate the transfer and retrieval of information between the various departments of the organization,
1.4AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
Having studied the activities of the police station some benefits could be derived from the computerization of information system and this includes:
1.Higher security efficiency of information
2.Quicker access to individual data
3.Faster treatment of information security oriented cases.
4.Provision of output information in a readily comprehensible form to those persons involved in the activities of the organization. Provision of communication channels. To compass formal and informal component.
To provide storage facilities for data not immediately required or that may be required to be used more than once.
1.5THE SCOPE OF THE STUDY
This study will cover shell Petroleum Company and its operation and activities carried out in terms of information sharing and data. Also the scope is centered on eradicate the numerous problems associated with the manual technique of securing information in order to facilitate the retrieval of information.
1.6LIMITATIONS
A lot of militating constraints were encountered during the course of this write up. They are:-
Inaccessibility to some documents, which arose due to security, imposed on some of the organization documents by the management. It was not also possible to make an in-dept study of these documents, which would have helped in the development of the project work.
Time was a major limitation to this write up, there wasn't enough time to study the details of the various field of the information department of the organization unavailability of textbook needed for this write - up was not found in the institution library.
1.7ASSUMPTIONS
For easy implementation of this study some assumption were made.
It is assumed that the software to be designed for the study will help shell petroleum in an effective service delivery.
Finally, it is also assumed that by computerizing this organization, information security has been implemented to handle their day to day cases in a better and more organized manner.
