Data-Protection Best Practices

* Set up training program for all employees on network security policies and any new changes to network security.

In this document I will be discussing the laws that are related to security and privacy of datas, I will explain how they relate to the security and privacy of data.

Personal data are regulated by United Nations and urges States to implement effective measures to ensure that information concerning a person´s private life does not reach the hands of person who are not authorized by law to receive,process and use it.Thus private data are protected not only by law of States also by international laws, and concerning computer misuse

data and risks will help a company to design strong policies, procedures and standards that will help to keep data secure.

As such, our company’s people resources pose the greatest risk for security breach. Our way to help mitigate risk in this area is to keep communication lines open in this area and to continually mandate security knowledge training, with mandatory updates on a regular basis. When the employees are informed of company policy when facing a security matter, they are better equipped to act in the best or right way. In this way knowledge is power – or at least empowerment to act in the best interest of the company’s information security.

In today’s IT world every organization has a responsibility to protect the information and sensitive data they have. Protecting data is not only responsibility of security and IT staff but every individual is involved in protecting the information. The risks to information security are not digital only, but it involves technology, people and process that an organization may have. These threats may represent the problems that are associated to complex and expensive solution, but doing nothing about these risks is not the solution.

In the final chapter of CompTIA Security + Study Guide eBook, it covers some great topics, key elements of implementation, support, and managing the security efforts in a company or organization. It’s important for IT Professionals to understand their role in a company/ organization. It’s also extremely important for them to understand the boundaries of security within that company/organization. Adopting best security practices while adhering to company policies will ensure that both parties are happy. There are many fines lines with security management.

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) is when an employee uses one or more personal computing devices for business purposes. It can include personal computers, laptops, tablets, USB or flash drives, mobile phones and even online computing services such as Dropbox or Google Drive. The history of BYOD stems from the technological advances of the past 25 years, starting with employees accessing corporate networks from their home computers via dial-up modems in the late 1980’s and virtual private networks starting in the early 1990’s, continuing through the massive increase in mobile phones and access to corporate email via Blackberry type devices and culminating in the current state of being connected all the time via tablets

“The practice of keeping data protected from corruption and unauthorized access” is known as data security (SpamLaw, 2011). The focal point of data security is the protection of

After the information system is installed, the IS security controls must be monitored and assessed on a continuous basis. Continuous monitoring ensures the security controls in place are effective. In this step, there are five tasks. The first task requires managers to determine the security impact based on the threat environment. The second task is conducting assessments on certain security controls as outlined in their Continuous Monitoring Strategy. The third task is correcting discrepancies found in the assessment. The fourth task requires updating the Security Authorization package based on the previous results. The fifth task requires the appropriate officials to make a risk determination and acceptance by reviewing the reported security

In this paper we will look at defining the problem of data security and public administration. The reader will see the evidence gathered to get a better understanding of the problem of not securing data when sending it. The reader will learn different alternatives to how they can ensure the data is secure.

Before this week’s discussion I had no idea of the term BYOD and when I find out what it meant, I immediately disagreed with the idea of allowing employees to bring their own device to work. Before I go on with the reason for my disagreement with this term or policy I would like to mention Bring your own device (BYOD) defined as an IT policy where employees are allowed or encouraged to use their personal mobile devices to work, increasingly, notebook computers to access the company’s data and systems. This policy allows employees four types of access which are mentioned as the following:

* appropriately informing all employees, contractors and third party users of their information security roles and responsibilities, prior to granting access to sensitive information or information systems using Terms and conditions of employment.

With data and the collection of it, comes the added need for security. To begin to understand how we need to secure the data we collect we need to understand a few aspects of the

The reality is that there is no simple solution when it comes to regulating BYOD. Every organization is different and there are number of different factors that have to be taken into consideration.  First a company will have to decide which employees will be allowed access, as well as the types of devices
