This document discusses security and ethical challenges in information systems. It defines MIS security as measures to protect information systems from unauthorized access or compromise. Some key security challenges are hacking, cyber theft, and computer viruses. Privacy issues on the internet and in computer matching and laws are also discussed. The document emphasizes that ethics in IT creates trust and prevents issues like unauthorized access and conflict. Unethical workplace behaviors can include misusing company time and resources or violating internet policies. Managing these challenges requires following codes of conduct, focusing on work, being honest, and building character with security controls like encryption and firewalls. The conclusion states that technical security alone is not enough, and ethics help achieve better overall system protection.

MIS security refers to measures put in place to protect information
system resources from unauthorized access or being compromised.
Security vulnerabilities are weaknesses in a computer system,
software, or hardware that can be exploited by the attacker to gain
unauthorized access or compromise a system.

3. WHY MIS SECURITY?
▪ Information systems security is very important to help protect against all types
of theft.
▪ Companies and organizations are especially vulnerable since they have a
wealth of information from their employees.
▪ The main focus of this industry is to protect these systems and to prevent the
information from being stolen too.

◦ Hacking
◦ Cyber Theft
◦ Unauthorized use at work
◦ Software Piracy
◦ Piracy of intellectual property
◦ Computer viruses and worms

5. PRIVACY ISSUES
◦ -Privacy on the internet
◦ -Computer Matching
◦ -Privacy Laws
◦ -Computer libel and censorship (threats are spamming
and flaming)

6. ETHICS IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
◦ Ethics in information technology is important because it creates a culture of

• Encryption
• Firewalls
• Denial of service attack
• E-mail monitoring
• Virus defense
• Security codes
• Audits
• Backup files
• Security monitors
• Biometric security
• Computer failure controls
• Fault tolerant systems
• Disaster recovery
• System controls

11. CONCLUSION
▪ Technical and technological security measures are sometimes insufficient
to protect an information system. Because there is a human factor in
information system.
▪ Ethics are set of moral rules that guide people.
▪ With the help of ethics a better and robust security can be achieved.
