The use of ICT in companies and organizations is on the rise today. Each company relies on more than one ICT systems for their operations. The reason behind this is that ICT improves the ease through which individuals access company services and information. It has also made it easy for companies to deliver services to their customers. For instance, an individual can know the services offered by a company and even contact them from the company's website. Companies use computer networks as a way of transferring data from one department to another. Computer networks are also used for communication between the company and outsiders. Companies rely on database management systems for storage of data about their customers and staff.Despite the advantages brought about by the use of ICT systems, they present a threat to the company if they are not well secured. Hackers can take advantage of the security loopholes associated with such systems to gain illegal access into the sensitive data belonging to the company. If this happens, the company will incur huge loses, including being sued, losing customers and even being closed. The company members of staff should be trained on how to handle sensitive data of the organization, including sensitive credentials such as passwords. If this is not done, they may be tricked into revealing them by external hackers through social engineering attacks.

Utopian Generations develops a powerful interpretive matrix for understanding world literature--one that renders modernism and postcolonial African literature comprehensible in a single framework, within which neither will ever look the same. African literature has commonly been seen as representationally naive vis-a-vis modernism, and canonical modernism as reactionary vis-a-vis postcolonial literature. What brings these two bodies of work together, argues Nicholas Brown, is their disposition toward Utopia or "e;the horizon of a radical reconfiguration of social relations.? Grounded in a profound rethinking of the Hegelian Marxist tradition, this fluently written book takes as its point of departure the partial displacement during the twentieth century of capitalism's "e;internal limit"e; (classically conceived as the conflict between labor and capital) onto a geographic division of labor and wealth. Dispensing with whole genres of commonplace contemporary pieties, Brown examines works from both sides of this division to create a dialectical mapping of different modes of Utopian aesthetic practice. The theory of world literature developed in the introduction grounds the subtle and powerful readings at the heart of the book--focusing on works by James Joyce, Cheikh Hamidou Kane, Ford Madox Ford, Chinua Achebe, Wyndham Lewis, Ngugi wa Thiong'o, and Pepetela. A final chapter, arguing that this literary dialectic has reached a point of exhaustion, suggests that a radically reconceived notion of musical practice may be required to discern the Utopian desire immanent in the products of contemporary culture.
