Abstract
Security concerns have grown in sync with the growth of ecommerce. This paper presents a framework for analyzing systems security in terms of three dimensions, namely, technology, process, and people. The paper also advocates a systems development life cycle view of security. It describes different activities that need to be carried out throughout the development cycle in order to improve overall systems security. It also discusses the theoretical and practical implications of the study, and identifies future research directions.
