Managing organization information security systems, conflicts, and integrity for sustainable Africa transformation

Abstract

The ubiquitous reliance on technological innovations by enterprise organizations for electronic file-sharing networks across all business transactions has further exposed organization system enterprises to security threats and risks. Globally, a positive relationship exists between employees’ adherence to security policy enforcement, enterprise definitions, and effective management of organization security systems. Security measures required to handle threats to the organizations’ data: confidentiality, integrity, and availability are becoming complex, dynamic, psychological, but largely undeveloped, outdated, and non-sustainable in Africa despite the huge cyber-security innovations. This study highlights the gaps created by poor employees’ adherence to security policies and enforcement in managing organization information security systems, conflicts, and integrity, and strategies to close them. The authors explored a narrative review of prior research that revealed significant information on strategies for managing organization information security systems. Peer-reviewed articles within the last five years were extracted from electronic databases, using relevant search keywords Results show that organizational security issues can be prevented or mitigated through effective adherence to security policies, control over policy enforcement, and enterprise definitions. Findings from this study may extend proper security management practices and prevention strategies for Africa’s transformation.

Approaches to a secure, sustainable, and diversified Nigerian economy in a cashless society

“…The Enterprise Information Systems (EIS) security conceptual framework provides a systematic approach to ensuring the security of information systems within an organization. In the context of cybersecurity in a cashless era, EIS encompasses various components and principles to guide the design, implementation, and management of information security encompasses various components and principles to guide the design, implementation, and management of information security [5], [26], and [33]. As identified by researchers, these components included: governance and policy, which establishes rules, regulations, and decision-making processes to ensure effective management, control, and alignment of information systems within an organisation [18].…”

“…Resilient cybersecurity measures aid in defending against cyber threats and fraud, thereby guaranteeing the security and integrity of digital payment transactions, as claimed by [39] and [15]. Furthermore, effective cybersecurity protocols employ safeguards to guarantee the confidentiality and integrity of digital payment transactions [5], and [46]. They also foster cooperation, awareness-raising, and preventative actions to mitigate cybersecurity risks and safeguard users and organisations within the digital payment ecosystem [2], and [28].…”
