    Factors affecting the online transactions in the developing countries: a case of e-commerce businesses in Nairobi county, Kenya
    (International Education and Leadership Research Team, 2015) Kanyaru, Paul M.; Kyalo, Josphat K.
    The growth in online transactions is accompanied with an increase in the incidences of fraud. In the online marketplace, fraudsters are using sophisticated malware to take over accounts and commit fraud related activities. At the global level, online fraud is rampant with high financial losses for customers and online merchants. In Kenya, the scope of online fraud is still small, however, the increasing adoption of e-commerce is anticipated to increase fraud related incidences. Based on this, this study reviewed literature on challenges associated with internet fraud and best practices that can be adopted by online merchants. It was shown that the challenges are related to the use of improper theft and security measures by online merchants, the increase of mobile devices and lack of customer awareness of security risks in online transactions. To prevent internet fraud, organizational, consumer, and technical measures have to be adopted by online merchants in Kenya.

    (LAP LAMBERT Academic Publishing, 2013-07) Kyalo, Josphat K.
    The use of both structured and wireless networks has increased tremendously by the management entities of most Business Organizations. The integration of such networks with the Internet has led to increased exchange of Information whose security stands out as a challenging issue to most Management Units. Very little literature exist that points to the effective establishment, stable nature and managerial requirements of a wireless networks which are prone to attacks and intrusion. The Management Structures need a thorough representation and understanding of how to establish, enforce security and have effective management of the networks. This book therefore, provides for an elaborate and secure approach to the establishment and subsequent management of the wireless networks, with minimum risks to security threats and compromise to organizational information. A framework is presented that can be used by these policy makers to evaluate their Institution’s state of Computer Networks and take cognizance of parameters (indicators) that need to be considered for implementation of an effective and efficient functional Wireless Network.
