Apriloc Case Study

The system ApriLoC will provide the organization using the system with the ability to choose which computer devices can access their network. Additionally, they will be able to monitor who is trying to accesses their network. This will make the organization more secure and will help them focus on other tasks. Productivity should also increase, since employees of the organization will be able to access the network from virtually anywhere given that a proper device is used.

Daniel will be diagnosed with the DSM-V category anxiety disorders. “Anxiety disorders share features of excessive fear and anxiety and related behavioral disturbances” (American Psychoanalytic Association, 2013). Daniel is diagnosed with general anxiety disorder (GAD). The DSM-V outlines the following features for Daniels illness:

The authentication process is a necessity for safeguarding systems against various forms of security threats, such as password-cracking tools, brute-force or wordbook attacks, abuse of system access rights, impersonation of attested users, and last but not least reply attacks just to name a

Formal user access control procedures must be documented, implemented and kept up to date for each application and information system to ensure authorised user access and to prevent unauthorised access. They must cover all stages of the lifecycle of user access, from the initial registration of new users to the final de-registration of users who no longer require access. These must be agreed by IDI. User access rights must be reviewed at regular intervals to ensure that the appropriate rights are still allocated. System administration accounts must only be provided to users that are required to perform system administration tasks.

Individual users play an important role in any form of institution or organization but concerns are raised about the security. The network administrators clearly lay down a set of rules, regulations and protocols that an individual user has to agree accordingly upon which part of the resources and what class of service that the user can obtain.

Security shall be a high priority requirement. Since this system is intended for a wide range of users, it shall be user-friendly, requiring limited training and assistance.

Authentication of an individual to access and use files, systems, and screens is vital to

HQ AFRC/SG states that they are professionally bound to uphold the provisions of both AFI policy and the AFOCD requirements regarding matters concerning medical officer commissioning process within the Reserve Component of the Uniformed Services, as it supports the Air Force Medical Service. Nowhere in the MSC accession guide does it mention the AFOCD requirement which would have allowed me to make a better decision when selecting my graduate program for Public Administration in CY 2012 which was well in advance when the current publication were established.

Miller Inc. which is in the business of providing data collection and analytics services relies majorly on network security to keep its competitive advantage. This is because the customers that rely on the company's system trust that since there are sufficient security measures that have been ensured, they can store their data securely. Each of the functional models of the system should have sufficient security measures to ensure that complete security of the whole system architecture is achieved. The three functional modules are the backend module, services or operation module and customer access module. The major relationship between infrastructure and security comes in the role they play to ensure that the end user gets the data that they need when they need it and in the best way possible. Therefore for the three modules, there is a need to balance security with the right infrastructure.

In their seminal paper on security patterns, Yoder and Barcalow (1997) present a case for the importance of security in applications designed for the corporate environment. They present a collection of 7 patterns which can be applied during system design and implemented late in the development. These patterns are : SINGLE ACCESS POINT which helps solve back door access to sensitive data by limiting application entry to one single entry point. The SECURE ACCESS LAYER pattern enables secure communication between an application and external systems. The CHECK POINT pattern provides for user validations in order to prevent security breaches.

Passwords for access to personal phones, computers, online portals, and websites has become very prevalent and the best practice for authentication. Additionally, passwords authenticate mobile phones, computer networks and databases for many software applications. However, ensuring that passwords are encrypted, and safe have become one of the greatest challenges for most organizations. This paper will review some of the vulnerabilities of the use of passwords and provide controls to implementation to assist with the management and handling of passwords.

Main points: Enforce stronger authentication by encouraging the use of passphrases and requiring a 15-character minimum.

All access to government servers, network devices and maintenance areas of the government agency's data center will be role-based and defined through authentication at a minimum (Amsel, 1988). Access methods will require two-party authentication and for access to server operating systems and rack-mounted servers, biometrics will also be required. One of the most critical success factors to ensuring a high level of security and stability and to guard again social engineering threats is to create and maintain authentication methods that thwart illusionary and coercive-driven access attempts (Burgess, Canright, Engø-Monsen, 2004). By having several roles requires to gain access to data,

Just to give you a brief overview of the EVOC-106 issue from this morning. Kia came over and asked our input on a call that Latoya was assisting a rep with. Apparently Kevin Kirby decided to get involved as well because he overheard it. The Front line agent was on the phone with a customer who was trying to complete ease migration and attempted to add her mobile number as a contact point for text alerts. She got the standard EVOC-106 text stating that the number was already opted in for alerts on another customers account. The other account was her deceased husband. Latoya was able to locate the deceased account and did in fact see the customers number as a contact point. Kevin Kirby called Mel to see if any exceptions could be made with

Assa Abloy’s main focus is to meet the increasing demand for increased security with a product-driven offering centered on the customer. It’s strong growth mainly comes from long-term development in mature markets in Europe, North America and Asia Pacific. As Diagram 1 shows, the entire Group has aimed to reform their overall business by both cutting down their costs, but also increasing their demand in the increasingly competitive market. Strategic action plans have been divided into three focus areas; market presence, product leadership and cost-efficiency. The financial aim of strategic actions is to achieve an 10% annual growth of the cumulative result of organic and acquired growth, an operating margin of 16-17% and a 33-50% payout ratio ( Nordea Credit Research,2015).
