Barriers to implementing Information Technology

Without a doubt, politics, policy and ethics play a big role in Information Technology. For example, In developing countries, researches have struggled to study and implement Information Technology because of lack of skilled professionals in the field. Poor quality and quantity of telecommunications infrastructure has also been a barrier that need to be overcome.  In developing countries, some of the reasons why they are only growing at a very slow pace are that most web-based programs and most software produced are in English and the rate of computer illiteracy amongst employees is very high.  As we all know construction plays a big role in the advancement of a country and without the appropriate technology and equipment workers and employers only stick to the old ways which are not nearly as effective as if they were implementing the newest technology out there. The other issue mentioned was that people would need to learn English and then get training to use whatever technology is being used. These steps would involve politics and decisions that would have to be made by the governments, also salaries would have to increase, companies would have to invest a lot more money into technology equipment, and it would take years. Researchers continue to study the lack of I.T. in developing countries and the effect on how fast they are growing. Of course these studies can only provide information on the matter but it would depend on what each country decides to do about it. click for more on this subject

Data Security Approach for Right to Information of Developer

Due to hackers and all the data breaches that occur every so often in today’s age, the Information Technology field has been turning its focus on how to protect sensitive data. This article talks about the importance of not only examining the network to check for intruders but to also keep a record of how, what and where data is being accessed from. By doing this we can add that extra layer of security keeping important data safe. The proposed method to approach this idea by the authors is to develop an IP tracker. An IP address is a series of numbers which contains the important information about the user on the other side. For example, by keeping track of the IP address used to access a website, we can trace the address back and see the route that it took to get there, therefore we will know the exact starting point, time, and see if the same address is being used to get to the data.  After the IP tracker captures the IP address of the user, it will store its information in a database that will hold a certain amount of IP address, and that can be emptied out by the administrator as pleased. The outcome or impact of this research and proposed methodology is that companies and organizations can generate statistics of who access their programs, data, website, etc. In case of a data breach at least there will be a set amount of locations based on statistical information of where the most IP traffic comes from and at what time of the day of the week for instance.

We can already tell how more and more methods are being proposed in order to protect sensitive data and counterattack hackers.  Without a doubt Information Security is becoming top priority in the Technology field.
