Abstract

This chapter is concerned with a major problem for any e-business organization, the security of its Information Systems. A review of information security characteristics and components is presented, followed by a detailed discussion of e-business security issues. Based on a structured approach for describing e-business functionality, e-business characteristics relevant to information security are identified. The major e-business security challenges are considered and e-business security issues are discussed and requirements are identified in different aspects of the realm. The current perimeter security approach appears to be inadequate to the modern business environment. Hence, a different approach is needed. A few alternative approaches are discussed and a review of previous and future research on e-business security is presented. Hence, the chapter aims to contribute both to academics and to e-business executives by providing the information security insight and awareness to the e-business unique security issues and challenges.
