1. Data Security and Privacy
This is about the privacy implications of new communications or media technologies and
services . One of the aims of this research is to know the basic security principles of some of
the rising businesses especially in the information technology industry against cyber-threats
or even cyber terrorism . This study is important because as the new media give rise to new
technological advances , threats cannot be avoided . That is the reason for creating such
principles to detect or even fight terrorism and related cases , and that is what this isall
about.
When discussing about new media , that includes wireless communications and Internet
technology . The past few years , the technological realm , as well as privacy has been
changing from one phase to another and can be appalling and appealing , even dangerous in
some sense . One of the major effects of technology is that it is now simpler to merge
databases Personal information consistently flows across restrictions . Also computer
networking offers the basis for innovative cohort of new communications media . For
instance , the analog telephone system , privacy concerns such as the abuse of records of
subscribers ' calls and wiretapping were fundamentally bound by the system 's architecture .
The Internet and other advanced forms of media like online services can confine in depth
information about their users in a digital way . The digital technology also amplifies the
competence of the authorities to observe communications and the capability of subscribers
in protecting them .Simultaneously , the new media have presented the technical basis for a
new community . The Internet has been used to systematize technologists and privacy
activists , themselves , transmit information and utilize software directly . Even low-cost
electronic mail alerts have been employed in campaigns in opposition to customer
databases wiretapping , and government schemes in controlling contact to strong
cryptography . The small group of public sphere became a large group of individuals in
connection to public-policy concerns , that means a larger participation of the public has
offered the new technological advances its way for a dominant representational importance
. Generally , defining privacy becomes a challenge , as the deficiency of adequate definition
has been the problem of its history . There is a need of deeper understanding of the concept
in to support policy prescriptions
One of the privacy principles that have been created is the CNID that to some extent is
deceptively known as Caller ID . CNID is explained as a device of a switching system , which
conveys a caller 's telephone number to the telephone being called , that is the recipient 's
telephone might display the number or use it to a database . With this mechanism
conflicting privacy interests may be affected for instance , the caller 's right to avoid
revealing personal information and the recipient 's right to diminish unnecessary
interruptions by declining to answer calls from certain numbers.

2. The modern computer is more than a sophisticated indexing or adding machine, or a
miniaturized library; it is the keystone for a new communications medium whose capacities
and implications we are only beginning to realize. In the foreseeable future, computer
systems will be tied together by television, satellites, and lasers, and we will move large
quantities of information over vast distances in imperceptible units of time.
The benefits to be derived from the new technology are many. In one medical center,
doctors are already using computers to monitor heart patients in an attempt to isolate the
changes in body chemistry that precede a heart attack. The search is for an “early warning
system” so that treatment is not delayed until after the heart attack has struck. Elsewhere,
plans are being made to establish a data bank in which vast amounts of medical information
will be accessible through remote terminals to doctors thousands of miles away. A doctor
will then be able to determine the antidote for various poisons or get the latest literature on
a disease by dialing a telephone or typing an inquiry on a computer console.
But such a Data Center poses a grave threat to individual freedom and privacy. With its
insatiable appetite for information, its inability to forget anything that has been put into it, a
central computer might become the heart of a government surveillance system that would
lay bare our finances, our associations, or our mental and physical health to government
inquisitors or even to casual observers. Computer technology is moving so rapidly that a
sharp line between statistical and intelligence systems is bound to be obliterated. Even the
most innocuous of centers could provide the “foot in the door” for the development of an
individualized computer-based federal snooping system.
Conclusion
In years to come, people will pay more attention to privacy and security issues, but probably
it will cost a lot. Many people who have posted jolly party photos to web have already seen
consequences, they have their lessons learned, but this is just the most simple example.
Lives could be ruined and one can only hope, that in states and companies level the
proactive approach is successful.
