Computer crime, and more particularly computer hacking activities, has become increasingly active in today's business environment. Proof of this statement is evident from a survey completed by the Computer Security Institute and FBI whcih revealed that corporations, banks ans governments al face a growing threat from computer crime (Berst, 1999, pl). Diferent methods can be used to control computer crime, for example, by controlling access to computer networks such as firewalls, but none are completely hacker-proof. New ways and means which will minimise computer crime must therefore continuously be resarched and defined. There ways could involve, amongst others, the utilisation of audit logs, user profiles and trend analyses in a pro-active sense.
