E-Government, Open Data, and Security: Overcoming Information Security Issues with Open Data

Abstract

The focus of this article is to provide a proposed solution on how to deal with information security problems faced by nations seeking to implement e-government systems with open government data. Understanding what threats are posed to information security in e-governments, and how to properly assess and deal with them is necessary for having a functional system based around open government data. Through the implementation of new policies, legal structuring, and the development of new technologies to aid use, it is impossible to overcome these challenges.
