Title A name given to the resource The Impact Of E-Commerce On Local And Small Scale Enterprise In The Accra Metropolitan Assembly,Osu-Klottey District Accra Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Karimou Bola Hope Description An account of the resource Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SMEs) have a great influence on the lives of people of our economy. They play vital roles such as revenue generation and creation of employment. Statistics proves that SMEs constitute over 60% of all businesses in developing countries. And probably the percentage is higher than the estimate when it comes to Ghana. Over the years, programmers and workshops are being organized to enhance development and expansion of small business enterprises by government and non-government organization (NGOs). So many business enterprises grow rapidly to a point and when there is a small change in the economy, and then it depresses them from their point. On the basis of the study conducted on the topic ““The impact of e-commerce on local businesses and small scale enterprises in the Accra Metropolitan Assembly, Osu-Klottey District Accra. The sample size was made up of hundred and sixty (160) SMEs within Accra. Respondents were provided with questionnaires to fill. The following general conclusions were made from the research conducted, it is evident that there are quite worrying state of the affairs relating to the use of e-commerce to improve business growth strategies of small scale enterprises within the metropolis. Generally, the respondents agreed that e-commerce helps to improve the survival status of local businesses. However, the usage is limited to mobile phone and internet leaving out chunk of the tools and their application or usage. It was recommended among other things that government and policy makers should collaborate with small-scale enterprises union to develop cheaper software’s to aid their businesses. The study also recommended that small-scale enterprises and their owners (management) should build a culture that is favorable to technology and innovation and seek how technology can give them competitive advantage Subject The topic of the resource Msc.

Title A name given to the resource The Impact of Automated Information Systems in the Revival of Distressed Credit Unions in Ghana by Fostering Project. A Case Study of Salaga, Chamba, and Kpandai Credit Unions. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Joab Darkwa Description An account of the resource This study investigates the impact of the automated information systems introduced (as a key strategy) by the Food Security Through Co-operatives in Northern Ghana (FOSTERING) Project in distressed credit unions in these three areas: Salaga, Chamba, and Kpandai in the eastern corridor of northern Ghana. The feasibility studies undertaken by the project in 2012/13 revealed that most of the credit unions in the eight participating districts of the project in the eastern corridor were characterized by severe insolvency. However, due to the key role that the project wanted the credit unions (CUs) to play towards the attainment of its goal, the strategy to computerize the operations of the CUs was adopted for the project. The methodology involved a case study approach, with both qualitative and quantitative methods applied. The data collection methods were questionnaires involving the credit unions’ officials, and document review. The results of this study are in line with empirical studies that revealed the significant impact of AIS on institutional performance. The findings point to the fact that the automation of the CUs information systems has greatly enhanced the revival of the distressed credit unions. Again, the CUs have all attained the immediate and intermediate targets set by the project, and realized significant growth. The study concludes that the implementation of AIS in credit unions in Ghana can significantly affect and impact on them positively. Therefore, recommendations are given for CUA and CU leaders to channel much resources and focus on leveraging on the advancement of technology to the strategic development of credit unions and the CU movement in Ghana. Project donors or managers are urged to identify and anticipate the impact of AIS in credit unions in subsequent CU development projects.

Title A name given to the resource Assessing The Information Systems Secrity Challenges In Cloud Computing: A Case Study Of Cocoa Marketing Company Ghana Limited Submitted . Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Jennifer Ashiokaa Bidema Description An account of the resource Cloud computing is the computing model in which the computing resources such as software, hardware and data are delivered as a service through the internet with the aid of web browsers or light-weight desktop machine over the internet (Wink, 2012). This computing model has taken over physical hardware infrastructure by cutting off the cost to procure huge local serv-ers for to augment business operations and storage. (Montero & Llorente, 2012). The adop-tion of cloud as a service is affected by different security issues and challenges such as Tem-porary Denial of Service (TDOS) attacks, user identity theft, session hijacking issues and flashing attacks (Danish, 2011). The research was conducted at the Cocoa Marketing Company Ghana Limited (CMC). For which employees were sampled through a purposive sampling technique. The data collection involved employee’s answers to questions posed to them in the questionnaires administered. The purpose of this study is to assess the information systems security challenges in cloud computing and bridge the research gap between the cloud security challenges, measures and the existing security threats. An assessment into existing cloud service models, security standards, currently adopted security measures and their degree of flawless protection has been done. The study helped in outlining the security challenges, issues and their solutions whereas the empirical study facilitated in acknowledging the concerns and perception of po-tential cloud users perceptions and challenges. The empirical method used in this research is questionnaires to validate the theoretical findings. According to findings of the study, most organizational departments like CMC relay on shared folders as part of their business operations a medium of sharing information. This pro-vides a better way for introducing cloud computing in such organizations. The study also stated that there are staffs in specific organizations assigned with the duty of data protection, so the perception on data security should not be an issue for such organizations. Cloud computing or cloud as a service when adopted according to the study has the tendency to help organizations like CMC to gain competitive advantage in their area of business. How-ever the perception that cloud adoption will open the floodgates for intruders to compromise confidentiality, integrity and availability of data has become the major drawbacks hindering organizations mostly in Africa to adopt the use of cloud to enhance their ways of doing busi-ness. Based on the information gathered from the respondents it is clear that cloud computing is a possibility in CMC. However, management could be a hindering block to its implementa-tion since most of them are politically skewed to the government of the day. These security challenges and perceptions are highly beneficial to the adoption of cloud com-puting because it offers to organizations the knowledge into the potential security risks and challenges and provide some mitigation mechanism for organizations who will be willing to adopt the cloud as a service in the future.

Title A name given to the resource Crime Predictive Model in Cybercrime Based On Social And Economic Factors Using Bayesian And Markov Theories (Case Study of Bank) Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emeh Jennifer Afoma Description An account of the resource If financial institutions cannot detect incidents effectively, it cannot succeed to responding to incidents. This implies that the detection of incidents, is the most important aspect of incident response. A stochastic process with a first order dependence in discrete state and time is described as Markov chain, in the same way, Bayesian theory is a mathematical framework for reasoning and performing inference using probability. These two theories were used to predict cybercrime occurrence using centralized system in form of a model for Management Information Systems (MIS). The advancement of technology in banking has made banking business processes very convenient, but as the technology advances, cybercrimes of different nature emerges and equally at its peak. In as much as there are different measures already in place to combat these crimes, there still lies so many vulnerabilities which cannot be evitable in any information systems, especially the financial institutions, in other words prediction theory which tends to detect and predict any event can be used to combat this cybercrime activities. The theory which was introduced by Markov in 1907 has been applied in many predictive models and at such has been able to describe various phenomena of the real world. In this research study, the application of Markov theory and Markov chain offered ideal conditions for determination of the next target of crime. Similarly, Bayesian inference also analysed the nature of cybercrime and the probability of its occurrence, moreover, it has been recommended that different factors which could possibly cause cybercrime like vulnerabilities of information system, should also be predicted using both theories.

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.
