Abstract

In today’s economy, information is one of the most important assets of an organization, probably second only to human resources. Information has become important both as input and output. Hence computer security is of great concern to companies and businesses that want to implement e-business. The internet, which is the primary medium for conducting e-business, is by design an open non-secure medium. Since the original purpose of the internet was not for commercial purpose, it was designed to handle secure transactions and one of the most important issues in e-business is security. This paper explores factors that influence customer’s perceptions of security which influence the success of e-business in Nigeria and also outlines and analyses computer security with regard to online businesses. This is followed by an evaluation of the current tools and practices for ensuring computer security in e-business. The demerits of the present practice are also presented.
