الحماية الأمنية من الأخطار المحتملة على شبكات الحاسب الآلي : دراسة مسحية تحليلية في مدينة الرياض

Abstract EN

The present study represents an earnest endeavour to explore the best possible protective techniques against potential dangers on computer networks.

The techniques explored are both flexible and precautionary.

In order to collect needed data for the present study, a questionnaire was prepared.

It was later circulated among a sample of persons selected for the research.

The sample comprised three categories of individuals: engineers; technicians; and managers working in the educational institutions at the Riyadh city.

The number of questionnaire respondents were 105.

Based on their responses, research findings were analysed.

The following findings emerged as salient: • Variance of statistical evidence exists between two types of variables _____ dangers and protective measures against such dangers.

• Protective measures undertaken by educational institutions, opted for the present research, are deficient.

These measures are employed to avert perceived dangers on computer networks.

Based upon the analysis of the above findings, the researchers offer two-fold recommendations as follow: • Ample consideration should be assigned to utilise the talents of human experts working in local networks; • New experts should be prepared.

They should be imparted adequate training and necessary incentives.

Also, their periodic examinations should be conducted to fill security gaps.

• Security policies should be devised.

Pursuant to such policies, necessary measures should be implemented.

The central intent is to ensure the continuation of protection against possible dangers on computer networks.
