A Study on Information Security Gaps of Electronic Data Interchange (Edi) in Logistics Industry, Sri Lanka

Abstract

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) plays a major role in improving business prospects. EDI usage is expected to increase in the immediate future. This high growth in a potentially paperless environment presents a variety of security risks, such as disclosure of messages, tempering with messages, etc. However, a major barrier to the organizational adoption and usage of EDI, is the lack of knowledge and the need of security. This paper presents the findings of the survey which has been conducted among logistics companies in Sri Lanka.
