Abstract

A majority of computer crimes occur because a current employee of an organization has subverted existing controls. By considering two case studies, this paper analyzes computer crimes resulting because of violations of safeguards by employees. The paper suggests that various technical, procedural and normative controls should be put in place to prevent illegal and malicious acts from taking place. Ultimately a good balance between various kinds of controls would help in instituting a cost-effective means to make both accidental and intentional misconduct difficult. This would also ensure, wherever possible, individual accountability for all potentially sensitive negative actions.
