Title A name given to the resource Evaluating the Critical Success Factors Influencing the Adoption of Biometric Technologies by IT Managers in Developing Countries – Ghana A Case Study of Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource JACOB ENNIN Description An account of the resource This dissertation provides a new substantive finding that evaluates the factors that influence the adoption of Biometric Technology by developing countries like Ghana, Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT). Even though there has been several studies emphazing on the significance of biometric technologies in hotels and financial sectors (Moresan, 2012; Pooe & Labuschagne, 2011; Rabiu et al., 2016). Nonetheless, there is minimal empirical research with regards to the government agencies. Therefore, this dissertation focuses on factors impacting on the adoption of biometric technologies and benefits of these technologies (Yarbrough et al, 2007). It is against this background that it behooves the researcher to focus on finding the elements influencing the adoption of biometric technologies by information technology managers in developing countries - Ghana.

Title A name given to the resource Information Security Policies: A Case Study of Ghana Cocoa Board Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ian Donkor-Kroti Description An account of the resource Highly sensitive information pertaining to individuals and government institutions couple with their daily transactions are processed in an electronic format these days, making information security a critical part of e-Government applications and architectures. Information security measures should ideally span from authentication to authorization and from logical/physical access control to auditing of electronic transactions and log books. The lack of such measures compromises confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information. Most organizations are faced with developing information security systems and also committing their staffs to adhere to the set standards. This thesis aims at discussing and analyzing how information security policies are developed within Ghana Cocoa Board and also how employees appreciate and commit themselves to work with the set security policies. The thesis identified that most policies the administrators develop are not enforced well, also management do not really appreciate the development of these policies therefore top management does not help the Information systems department to enforce the policies. The work found out that security must be handled within COCOBOD with utmost care and diligence, therefore top management must be ready to help drive the culture down to the employees of the organization.

Title A name given to the resource An Assessment of Information System Implementation Success on Port Operations at Ghana Ports and Habours Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Felix Adusei Tuffour Description An account of the resource The use of information system in the maritime industry and most especially in Ghana Ports and Habours provides the organisation with a much-improved service as well as efficiency and effectiveness of personnel. The success derived from Information System (IS) implementation is very important and so is the criteria and parameters for measuring or assessing such success. Several implementations of IS is on-going without any reference to an impact assessment of previously implemented one. As a result, most of these implementations are suffering from unresolved challenges of pervious systems. This study however, used an existing model for IS success for evaluating an information system’s success (ISS) at the Port of Tema by applying the DeLone & McLean update IS success model (D&M). The proposed model was adopted to demonstrate how its elements could be applied in evaluating IS implementations and also to support the decision makers in evaluating and developing the information systems. The study adopted a mixed method approach which includes both qualitative and quantitative approaches. 150 questionnaires were administered to collect primary data from port operational staff of GPHA and secondary data of organisation reports were also obtained for analysis. The results indicated that perceived usefulness, ease of use, accuracy, timeliness, reliability, user support significantly affected the use and user satisfaction of an information. It further indicated that an increase in these variables will result in positive outcome from the information system implementation. The proposed model used better explains the interrelation between the constructs and the interrelationship that exit among the construct has a strong statistical significance influence on GPHA employee usage intention.

Title A name given to the resource Assessing Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard Compliance and ‘Europay, Mastercard, Visa’ Adoption amongst Universal Banks in Ghana and it’s Relationship with Fraud. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Eugene Oku Description An account of the resource In the banking industry, protecting consumers' financial security is without a doubt a major issue of concern especially in the modern world where the banking process has been digitalized and consumers exposed to numerous new issues. The introduction of the payment card system in the 1950’s created a new channel through which fraudsters can exploit. With the rise in card payment fraud cases, ‘Europay, MasterCard and Visa’ (EMV) technology was created in 1994 by the major players in the industry to secure card present transactions. This was followed by the release of the first version of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) somewhere in 2010 to protect cardholder data. Thus, this study was designed to understand the impact of PCI DSS and EMV standards in Ghanaian banking industry and its relationship on payment card frauds. The sampling technique employed in the study was random sampling technique. Questionnaires were administered to staff and customers of 10 selected universal banks to gather primary data from the targeted participants which were analysed with Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). In all 50 staff of universal banks (i.e. 5 from each bank) and 100 customers (i.e. 10 from each bank) participated in this research. The study revealed that Adequate funding, training and forums, change in organizational culture were most critical success factors in order to ensure a successful and continuous PCI DSS compliance and EMV adoption. It was also discovered that cost of implementation, lack of management commitment and support and uncooperativeness of key stakeholders were the major challenging issues for banks seeking to adopt PCI DSS and EMV. The study also revealed that, most of the banks have made some efforts to protect he cardholder data of their customers and was further deduced that the higher the compliance level of PCI DSS and EMV the lower the occurrence of card payment fraud. To conclude, it was shown that customers are more loyal when steps are being taken in their best interest. Subject The topic of the resource Msc. Management Information Systems.

Title A name given to the resource Design Of Hybrid Neural Network Intrusion Detection Systems Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Eugene Efah Adane Description An account of the resource Due to the rapid growth of computer system and Internet, network security became crucial issue for most organizations. Mostly organizations increase usage of different tools and methods to secure their network due to the increase of security threats. Many methods have been developed to secure computer networks and communication over the Internet. However, none of the existing methods developed by different researches have an accuracy of detecting attacks with high detection rate and low false alarm rate. The other thing is most deal with single detection approach with high number of features which is challenging and time consuming to implement. Also it will examine only either previously known attacks or unknown attacks. This thesis work is devoted to solve those problems using intrusion detection system architecture that is based on neural network, signatures and dimension reduction that can promptly detect and classify attacks, whether they are known or never seen before. The proposed hybrid intrusion detection system combines signature based and anomaly based techniques. Signature based open source which uses pattern search for attack detection and the anomaly based system is developed using machine learning technique. We implemented dimension reduction using dataset NSL-KDD and train the system using the well-known artificial neural network algorithm in the area of intrusion detection. The evaluation of performance and implementation of the proposed hybrid intrusion detection system are made with Java programming language using NetBeans. The results obtained by the implementation and evaluation are measured in comparison with other works done using single detection approach. The result shows that the output is encouraging and further refinement of the work can produce more robust and reliable intrusion detection system.

Title A name given to the resource An Assessment of the Extent of Vulnerabilities in Social Media Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Vera Azonim Erhabor Description An account of the resource Social media has gained grounds in recent times becoming an integral part of human lives enabling communication, friendships, and opinions. The paradigm shift has brought about risk and threats especially to those cyber criminals who want to capitalize on the unwariness or ignorance of the users and to exploit the vulnerabilities identified. This study sought to assess the vulnerabilities in social media with regards to the possible strategies to mitigate the threats. The perception is that users of these social media believe that they have internet security suite install to safeguard their devices against threats including social engineering threats. The study employed the qualitative research design i.e. gleaning through reports and literature and the questionnaires approach through interview to evaluate the vulnerabilities that come with the use of social media. The study area consisted of users of the social media platforms such as Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Twitter etc. in the central business district of Accra. A study size of 120 social media users was drawn. The research used both the random sampling and purposive sampling techniques to select the study subjects. The results show that 64% of the users surveyed are between 20 to 40 years. From the results, majority of the respondents representing 46.7% use Facebook. Majority of the respondents representing 76% said they are secured and protected using social media little do they know they are not protected in anyway. It is also recommended that advances technologies be used in the blockage of social media at work places. Monitoring is also keen and is recommended in order to curb the rate of usage of social media. The recommendation is that awareness creation and training of staff members on the vulnerabilities or threats on social media. The theories employed in this study, is the Personal Behavior Theory that explains users’ Personal traits and their attitudes on social media.

Management Information Systems Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Ghana Technology University College Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource May 2017 Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Dr. Ezer Osie Yeboah-Boateng Description An account of the resource Non-governmental organizations operating within the Ghanaian community continue to play a pivotal role in addressing the disparity between rural and urban areas. The activities of these organizations are multifaceted and seen in the various projects or programs that they undertake. Globally the use of information technology tools and applications presents various added benefits to any organization that choose to apply and effectively utilize these tools. At a time when the global call for open data and collaboration between such organizations is highest, NGOs continue to deploy high capital expensive IT infrastructures to meet this purpose as well as the technological needs of their organizations. In addition to these high setup costs, organizations constantly have to monitor, repair and guard these computing systems from security and data breeches. Today cloud computing has been hyped as a feature technology that is being adopted by SMEs and larger corporate organizations as a major enabler of business functions. Although this new paradigm is considered to be in its developmental stages, the recorded benefits have invariable challenged the traditional aspects of computing services among enterprises. This study seeks to encourage the adoption and utilization of cloud technologies for business operations and data sharing among NGOs. More specifically, the study sought to investigate the levels of adoption and utilization of cloud services among various NGOs, benefits and risks that implementers of this technology are likely to encounter in its implementation as well as industry’s practices for mitigating these risks. The results of the study showed that although most individuals alluded to being familiar with the concept of cloud computing, the levels of adoption and utilization of the technology among the larger NGO community was found to be low. From perusal of literary sources, it was also established that cloud adopters spend less on IT architectures that suit their business needs through rapid and easy provisioning of these service, flexibility in scaling up or down IT resources, disaster recovery, data security as well as increased productivity through collaboration. Cloud computing’s risks pertinent to data security, confidentiality, availability; service level agreements, segregation and reliability were also recognized. In conclusion, the study recommends further sensitization and education about cloud computing’s benefits to encourage its adoption and use by NGOs. Likely adopters of this technology are also advised to ensure the development of good holistic service level agreements to prevent legal issues that may arise from implementing cloud and for a smooth cloud experience.
