Abstract: Cyber-security is the body of technologies, processes, and practices designed to protect networks, computers, programs, and data from attack, damage, or unauthorized access. However, the dilemma arises when the attack comes from within the organization (an insider), especially from Corporate Executives with authority. Recent cases of fraud have reflected the perceived ethical environment and values as being misleading, with stakeholders being taken for a ride by Corporate Executives who often have the capability of appearing to be dynamic, charming and adding value for the organization. The Corporate Executive reflects the typical white-collar tendency: successful, reputational with everything to lose in the event of the fraud being discovered. The methodology used is Action Research, with the researcher carrying out a pro-active Fraud Risk Assessment to investigate the perceived strength of the cyber security and relevant Information Systems, especially with the risk of collaboration between the Corporate Executive, other employees and vendors.
