Without a doubt, information technology has become increasingly important. It is now part of the day-to-day activities of businesses, businesses, and governmental and non-governmental organizations. The everyday life of an average person involves computing and technology: communication, e-commerce, online banking and other financial and work-related activities. Businesses, entrepreneurs, and small and medium-sized businesses are increasingly dependent on information systems to support and implement complex and complex business processes, including accounting, inventory, marketing, payroll, search, sales tracking and even remote operations involving real-time monitoring.
Information technologies have had fair, satisfying and even excellent results. The general public is clinging to what might be considered the ideal solution to meet the growing demand for complex problem-solving processes that produce fast and reliable results. Effectively. But jubilation is not absolute. While information technology is becoming important, the threat that comes with it is also important. Despite the advancement of information technology, security and privacy have become increasingly difficult. Although experts have built a superior computer system, maintaining security has become more difficult for administrators and end users. Today’s users are becoming more diverse: they represent the vast majority of employees in many businesses and organizations and a very large fraction of households exposed to security and privacy threats.
The majority of security functions are tedious and difficult to use and can be a major barrier to the use of work at such a desired pace. As a result, Internet security measures have been bypassed, disabled, or ignored too often. Subsequently, when security impedes functionality, end users tend to disable the security features that protect them from cyber threats. The result is that they often engage in actions, consciously or unconsciously, exposing them to these cyber threats, while compromising the security of the system and disclosing sensitive, confidential or personal information.
Privacy tools and software have become increasingly difficult to use. Over time, as cyber-threats have become increasingly large and complex, the very heart of tools designed to protect end-users has become uncomfortable, difficult to understand for an average user, and inexpensive to take advantage of. These factors have greatly contributed to the end-users’ decision to ignore protection tools that expose them to cyber threats.
Computer technology must focus on the protection of its users. Developers of privacy and security software must provide a model of protection and features that do not interfere with the ease of use of the system. They must offer effective and profitable tools. Web designers and developers specializing in the areas of banking and e-commerce need to triple their standards by making these websites safe and foolproof.
It is of utmost importance that information technology creators and end-users work hand-in-hand to protect the system we rely on for our daily cybernetic activities.
