Abstract

Information systems are indispensable to virtually every personal and organizational activity, hardly can any organization function without them today; they are however subject to abuse in the hands of unscrupulous users. Information security problem has become a global phenomenon with the pervasive use of information systems across national and international networks. The situation is no better in higher education institutions especially in a developing country like Nigeria. In order to ensure the Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability (CIA) of information, information security experts have employed various technical solutions. However, the rising trend of information technology misuse suggests the need for a more comprehensive approach to effective information security. Specifically, the human factor seems to be a strong variable in determining effectiveness of information security measures. This paper highlights various forms of information system abuse, their consequences for organizations and the reasons for information system misuse as found in the literature. The paper suggests various non-technical solutions that could be combined with technical measures to combat information security problems in Nigerian Universities Paper presented at the International Conference on Advanced Computerized Systems and Emerging Technologies (ICACSET), Babcock University Nov 30-Dec 3, 2014.
