ABSTRACT

The over-riding aim of this research work is to examine the roles of private and public sectors in electronic security, a case study of Guaranty Trust Bank Plc.

To effectively carry out this research, data was collected in form of questionnaire from respondents who are staff of Guaranty Trust Bank Plc. Seventy (70) questionnaires was administered, fifty eight (58) was returned and fifty (50) copies was used. After critical analysis of the data collected, findings revealed that the roles of private and public sectors in electronic security cannot be over emphasized in reducing the rate of crime in upcoming economies.

Every day, governments, business, and consumers choose to use new technologies to build a global electronic economy. It is becoming apparent that the impacts of the use of these technologies on sustainable development deserve increased attention. This suggests the regulatory authorities to review current policies, practices, measures, and procedures to help assure that they meet the evolving challenges posed by threats to information systems and networks.
