computer crime.
Every commercial enterprise should be aware of the following:
Computer security breaches have risen 16% in the last year,
according to the 2000 CSI/FBI Computer Crime and Security
Survey. The same survey also revealed that 74% of respondents
acknowledged financial losses due to computer security breaches.

web-based e-commerce.
Password files are regularly stolen by hackers using applications
freely available on the Internet. These applications are easy enough

Firewalls, the current popular security solution, do not provide
complete security. Recent surveys have indicated that 80% of
saboteurs are disgruntled employees.
