1 Assignment #3 Question #1 Information ethics would be the area that focuses on the relationship of using information ethically and following the moral codes when knowing private information within a company. Information security is the practices of keeping data secure from outside, unwarranted sources. For example, confidentiality, the firewalls, password protections systems, and policies put into place are information security. These aren’t just important to keeping an organization safe, they are critical. You need to be able to see who is accessing certain files and ensure people who aren’t, can’t get into them. Passwords, encryption, and authentication must all be in place for big businesses like a bank for instance. Working for a bank means, confidentiality agreements, training programs, and a strong IT department to ensure each employee knows their role in information ethics and security. In order for a bank to even send out private information outside of personal contact customers must know their secret words set up when opening accounts, their social, and they are given another password directly to enter a software program they can go in and access the information they requested. If each employee fails to follow these rules, they will receive discipline and in major events they can be fired and reported to the law.

2 Question #2 The first epolicy that a business could use would be firewalls and restricted access to websites not needed or important for employees to be on at work. This will protect the company’s private information from viruses and from employees entering information in places they shouldn’t that could lead to giving hackers the information needed to enter their databases and other private information. The next way a business could protect their private information is by applying password protection for logging onto all computer devises, all programs the employees use, files, folders, and mail logs. For advanced password protection employees should be require to change their password every month or every two months and never share their information with other people or employees. Working in the banking industry has taught me a lot about privacy protection and having a strong IT department to maintain safe protection is a must for large companies, especially ones in charge of large amounts of money. Companies like ours also have IT department send out fishing emails to employees to make sure everyone is following the correct procedures and not clicking on unprotected links sent by unverified users, if you do not follow procedure and click on a link you are required to take extra training webinars and may be subject to a write up.
