IT after
IT in
nations. The
development will be along the following lines.
Efficient Data Storage and Data protection facilities.
Data storage and data management has proven
to be critical in
the recent terrorist
attack. Companies that protected their data
using alternate
storage places like data center were able to get
into business faster
than other companies and were able to retrieve
back valuable
customer information. Thus companies are investing
more in order to
protect their data.
Efficient
Security systems
The September 11 attack led companies to concentrate
on their
security features
this led to increase in investment in technologies
that enhance the
security of the company like data accessing,
efficient screening
etc.
Efficient
Communication system
The terrorist attack led to stop in
communication among various
companies and as a
result most of the companies resorted to other
means of
communications like video conferencing. Thus more
companies are investing
in alternate communicationtechnologies as
an integral part of
their communication systems.
Airport and
Aviation Security
The Attacks led to improvement in IT in
screening practices and
procedures in the
airports. Technology was also geared to address
issues like prevent unauthorized access to planes and secure
airport areas
Improve
intelligence gathering and dissemination
The attacks led to increase in investment in
IT issues like intelligence
gathering regarding
the various terrorists and other offenders to
enable the airport
authorities to make better decisions.
Further technology that enable domestic
information sharing and
international
cooperation is being planned
Protection against Computer Terrorism.
Further the terrorist attacks have thrown new
light into the extent to
which terrorism can
cause damage to corporate . This also indicates
that the terrorist
could also use more damaging instruments like computer
terrorism to create
financial damage. Thus more efforts are made to
protect the
corporations from themselves in such future attacks.
