Abstract

Companies have realized the need to have the competitive edge over their rivals. Enterprise systems provide this competitive edge. But with implementing enterprise system software (ESS), companies have to invest in the networking of their various business offices to interconnect to ESS. This chapter investigates the various ways two companies in Fiji do this and the various disadvantages they face from lack of knowledge of ESS to infrastructure limitations and issues faced in a developing country like Fiji. This chapter focuses on the network security issues of enterprise systems deployed in two companies in Fiji. It compares the information gathered to published papers on network infrastructure, network security issues, and threat assessments. It also proposes solutions to mitigate the security issues faced by enterprise systems networks.
