networked information systems

The explosion in affordable computing power and the rapid expansion of interconnected, publicly accessible networks has dramatically altered the way sensitive personal, financial, or proprietary information is acquired, processed, distributed, shared, stored and retrieved. The advances that have made this possible have simultaneously increased the risk that this information may be compromised, manipulated, stolen, or lost.

This has created a paradox. We now have the dilemma of choosing between the advantages of using networks, weighed against the probability of becoming a victim of cyber thieves. Although this paradox remains, the decision has already been made astoundingly in the favor of using the networks, and people have become dependent on these networks. With this background in mind, the ONCIX (formerly NACIC) developed a 14 page booklet regarding this issue.
