Published Date: 02 Nov 2017

1.0 Introduction

Nowadays the area of internet was begun more expanded and popularity, cause everyone would using computer to process their requirement on the internet. Therefore, the Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) has been launched and providing an ideal communication or service environment for the citizens, which purpose to improve more efficiency for our nation and government. But it also included some disadvantage within this development, so in this assignment we would discuss about the E-Government.

In this assignment, it has been recognized in four sections, which are introduction, content conclusion and references, each section would go in to details. First of all, in first question we would talk about some security issues of information and communication technology (ICT). During this section, we would discuss how it affected the public sector and private sector in our country. After that, in second question, we will explain the integration framework and four main components as well.

As a conclusion, although most of the resources of this assignment are taken from internet and reference book, the purpose of this assignment is to present as clearly and completely as possible, the characteristics and nature of today government.

2.0 Definition of question 1

In October 2000, the "Government Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Security Framework" was published to complement the earlier documents, such as the "Security directive Manual". The framework elaborates on the security measurement to encompass the technology networked nature of today’s world. Indeed, the framework is a key contribution towards the development of the public sector ICT security initiative.

The document addresses issue of confidentiality, integrity, availability, non-repudiation and authenticity as well. Recognizing the importance of the data and data ownership and providing the coverage on security measures as well as the role and responsibilities of members within the agency, the framework goes as far as to mandate the appointment of ICT Security Officers in ministries and departments who are responsible to conduct risk analysis and security program based on standard, guidelines, and ICT security measures.

Drawing from the essential principles set by the "Government ICT Security Framework," the Malaysian Public Sector Management of ICT Security Handbook (MyMIS) was published in January 2002. MyMIS covers a diverse range of topic ranging from the identification of risks and threats, roles and responsibilities for ICT security, to the investigation of computer crime. MyMIS serves as a detailed guide for ICT Security infrastructure development and management. It also includes templates, checklists, and procedures that can serve as a guide for public sector agencies in the development of ICT security policy for the respective organization.

4.6 Availability

The meaning of availability is to ensure the system ability to continue intended and function. Usually it is provided through some redundancy, which is often referred to denial-of –service. For example it will give some virus.

Issue of availability

The issue of availability is virus that is incorrect problem software program for can’t be functioning well. Some of the virus will attach to user files or boot sectors and order to copy the user do not know, and then spread the virus to other.

4.0 Definition of question 2

An implementation framework is designed to guide and manage the execution of the E-Government strategy. This framework is an adaptation of Accenture’s Business Integration Framework and can be broken down into four main components:

Programme Management

Technology

Process

People

Each E-Government project has its own version of the framework, where elements within the four components may differ according to the individual agency’s business or technical needs.

5.0 Programme Management

The Programme Management component is critical in ensuring that the development of the e-Government flagship as a whole as coordinated, timely and meets its objectives. A Programme Management group in MAMPU, as described in the next chapter, provides management, guidance and advisory services to project teams as well as ensures the application of common standards and guidelines across all projects. Such common standards and guidelines include systems design and testing, graphical user interface, business process reengineering, transition planning, security, benefits capture and many more.

Each application or project within E-Government is headed by a lead agency, which wears the Project Manager’s hat and has its own Project Management Team. While the ownership of the projects lies with the lead agencies, as custodian of the E-Government flagship, MAMPU assists by providing consultancy and project management services.

5.0 Technology

The Technology component addresses the implementation of new emerging technologies in the government environment: finding the right technology that supports the new processes, as well as providing information and tools that support the users.
