  1. Chapter 11 Computer Crime and Information Technology Security

  2. Outline • Expected outcomes • Computer crime • Risks and threats • Computer criminals • Internal control issues • CoBIT framework

  3. Expected outcomes • Explain Carter’s taxonomy of computer crime. • Identify and describe business risks and threats to information systems. • Name & describe common types of computer criminals. • Discuss ways to prevent & detect computer crime. • Explain CoBIT’s information criteria & accountability framework. • Explain how CoBIT can be used to strengthen internal controls against computer crime.

  4. Computer crime • Carter’s taxonomy • Target Targets the system or its data • Instrumentality Uses computer to further a criminal end; i.e., to commit the crime • Incidental Computer not required, but related to crime • Associated New versions of old crimes • A single crime can fit more than one category.

  5. Risks and threats • Fraud • Error • Service interruption and delays • Disclosure of confidential information • Intrusions • Information theft • Information manipulation • Malicious software • Denial-of-service attacks • Web site defacements • Extortion

  6. Computer criminals • Script kiddies • Hackers • Cyber-criminals • Organized crime • Corporate spies • Terrorists • Insiders • Lecture break 11-1 • Divide the class into seven groups. • Assume the “identity” of one type of computer criminal. • Suggest how your “type” might enact one or two of the risks / threats from the previous slide.

  7. Internal control issues • C-I-A- triad With respect to information systems, organizations need to protect: • Confidentiality • Integrity • Availability Confidentiality Integrity Availability

  8. Internal control issues • Physical controls • Protect the physical aspects of information systems • Examples • Locked doors • Security personnel • Alarm systems

  9. Internal control issues • Technical controls • Protect electronic aspects of information system • Examples • Firewalls • Data encryption • Anti-virus software

  10. Internal control issues • Administrative controls • Policies that may relate to either physical and / or electronic aspects of the system • Examples • Password strength and rotation policies • Adequate supervision • Procedures manuals

  11. Internal control issues • Lecture break 11-2 • Consider the work you completed in Lecture break 11-1. • Suggest one helpful internal control in each category: • Physical • Technical • Administrative

  12. CoBIT framework • Developed by Information Systems Audit and Control Association (www.isaca.org) • Control Objectives for Information and Related Technology • Comprehensive framework for addressing the totality of an organization’s IT

  13. CoBIT framework • Components • Domains of knowledge: tasks to complete • Plan and organize • Acquire and implement • Deliver and support • Monitor and evaluate • Notice the connection with the systems development life cycle • Points of view: issues to consider in each domain • Business objectives: how does each domain relate to the entity’s overall goals? • Information technology resources: what IT resources are needed within each domain? • Information technology processes: how should those resources be managed?

  14. CoBIT framework • Components • Information criteria: what characteristics should the information have to make it most useful? • Effectiveness • Efficiency • Confidentiality • Integrity • Availability • Compliance • Reliability Notice the relationship between the information criteria, the CIA triad and the qualitative characteristics in the FASB conceptual framework.

  15. CoBIT framework • Components • Accountability framework: what reporting relationships does an organization need to ensure everything else is working?

  16. Classroom assessment • This chapter has focused on: • Carter’s taxonomy of computer crime • Risks and threats to information systems • Computer criminals • Internal control issues • CoBIT framework • Which of those areas do you understand best? Prepare a short written summary of it. • Which do you understand least? Jot down two questions you have about it.
