An Improved Data Leakage Detection System is designed to mitigate the leakage of crucial and sensitive data in a cloud computing environment. Generally, leakage of data in computing system has caused a lot of irreparable damage or catastrophe to various institutions or organizations worldwide. Therefore, this research aims at detecting and preventing any intentional or non-intentional data leakages using dynamic password or key for data decryption security mechanisms. To achieve this the OOADM methodology was adopted. The new system was implemented using ASP.net MVC and Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio as the backend. And by incorporating an Audit trail/Transaction log mechanism, the new system monitors the activities within and outside the computing environment with date and time stamp. Hence, the system can be applied in any environment for the prevention and detection of any data leakage.

A software product is expected to be subjected to critical evaluation on its quality attributes in order to ascertain that target quality requirements are met, and that those quality attributes responsible for revealing software quality are not omitted in the software development process. Software metrics are essential to accomplish the task. This paper has carried out an exploratory study of software measurement and software metrics in tandem. The study took into cognizance the interwoven nature of the duo in measuring and revealing software quality. The study formulated a model that expressed the mutual bonding that propels both measurement and metrics to describing software quality in numeric quantities of software attributes. The study identified six software attributes whose values are considered enough quantities to reveal the quality of a software product. The identification enabled the study to create a model equation aimed at giving a numeric value for the complete evaluation of a software system. The result of the implementation of the six software attributes into the model equation showed that two software products employed in the study are of high-quality, having quality values of 0.93 and 0.86 respectively. The attributes produced values that confirmed the maintainability (25 seconds & 20 seconds respectively) and reliability (0.78 & 0.80 respectively) of both software products among other differing features that characterize them.

This paper review seeks to identify the need for a revamped data life cycle security in the era of pervasive threat from skill cyber criminals at this time of internet of things. The motivation is to fill the knowledge gap by presenting some of the ways of data leakages and the likely protection in the organization. The aim is to present a good practice that encourages data confidentiality, acceptable use policy, knowledge of personnel and physical security policy. The building blocks of information security infrastructure across the entire organization is implemented by Enterprise Security Architecture. Rather than focus on individual functional and non-functional components in an individual application, it focuses on a strategic design for a set of security services that can be leveraged by multiple applications, systems, or business processes.
