Identity and Access Management

A successful IT system is something that is composed of several different functional components to make it a whole. It takes each component to efficiently work so that the entire system runs smoothly. When one or more parts of the system are not properly working it can affect the entire IT system as a whole and render it completely vulnerable to people with malicious intentions. In this paper I will discuss the role of each component in it and shed some light as to why each is needed.

The network diagram of Global Finance, Inc. (GFI) depicts the layout of the company’s mission critical systems. The company has two servers (Email and the Oracle database) which are used more than any of their other systems. GFI heavily depend on their network to be stable because of their financial systems that are running and any outage would negatively affect their operations and financial situation. Like all other business, customer satisfaction and the security of GFI’s network is crucial. In order to ensure their network and data is secure,

Integrated Distributors Incorporated (IDI) will establish specific requirements for protecting information and information systems against unauthorised access. IDI will effectively communicate the need for information and information system access control.

There is a mess of servers, switches, switches, and inward equipment firewalls. Each of the association's areas is working with diverse data advances and foundation IT frameworks, provisions, and databases. Different levels of IT security and access administration have been actualized and inserted inside their individual areas. The data engineering framework is maturing and numerous areas are running on antiquated fittings and programming. Additionally, the framework is woefully out-of-dated regarding fixes and overhauls which significantly expand the danger to the arrange as far as classifiedness, trustworthiness, and accessibility.

As part of the network security team, we will be proving IDI with a network security plan to mitigate the vulnerabilities that have been discovered. A secure site will be set up with network intrusion detection and network protection systems will be available to access via the internal network. Policies will be presented for remote access and the use of VPN. Also contained within this report will be strategies for hardening the network and mitigating risks. An updated network layout with increased network security to meet the current needs will be included.

The major security principles are integrity, reliability and confidentiality. These three principles present a platform for establishing and applying industrial business security principles for the prevention and protection of IT structures. The three security principles are the foundation of a coherent ISMS framework as they offer a guideline for its growth.

This paper serves to direct the development team along a pathway of security, with the intent to share information about the most secured manner to implement this project. It must first be acknowledged that for information to be secured, information security must be integrated into the SDLC from system inception. The early integration of security in the

Role-based access controls meet the HIPAA Privacy Rule Minimum Necessary standard because it provides security access to individuals accessing a computer or its network by establishing access control requirements. Additionally, role-based access controls meet the minimum necessary standards because they focus on providing access to individuals based on their job role/job function within the facility. Moreover, according to (Amatayakul M. , 2008), the role-based access control, also control how covered entities (facilities) use the patient’s personal health information. Additionally, the role-based access controls also meet the HIPAA Privacy Rule Minimum Necessary standards because much like the Privacy Rule that focuses on setting limits on

Health Delivery Organizations (HDOs) are continuously confronted with handling a large amount of sensitive patient information. These organizations must have the capability to protect patient privacy and the integrity of their personal information, and yet be able to share the information with clinicians and staff that have a legal need for the information to provide due care. HDO’s are also under pressure to increase the effectiveness of their regulatory compliance processes for HIPAA, HITECH, Meaningful Use, PCI, and others.

Fastenal’s mission statement is “We are where you are”. Their vision is to grow the professional relationships the employees have with their customers all while increasing the companies’ profits. As stated in the first assignment Fastenal has adapted well to new technology over time. One downfall that is still present is there is not remote access for employees to log into Fastenal’s employee portals and for the Fastenal vending machines, employees have to use a separate log in. This has caused delays in answers to customer’s questions, vending machine downtime, and delayed orders. With access to one remote site, Fastenal employees can eliminate all of these problems. I.T. plays a major role in this plan because without it the software would not exist. Fastenal will need

Information security is the protection of information against accidental or malicious disclosure, modification or destruction. Information is an important, valuable asset of IDI which must be managed with care. All information has a value to IDI. However, not all of this information has an equal value or requires the same level of protection. Access controls are put in place to protect information by controlling who has the rights to use different information resources and by guarding against unauthorised use. Formal procedures must control how access to information is granted and how such access is changed. This policy also mandates a standard for the creation of strong passwords, their protection and frequency of change.

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.

A functional Information Technology (IT) system requires all the individual technologies involved to work together to achieve its intended purpose. If one of these technologies fails to perform, the entire system becomes vulnerable to breakdown and failure. In this complex relationship, each component is a receiver as well as a provider of services and data. I will make a connection between core technologies to show how they work together. We will concentrate of the most common and important computer technologies, these include; computers programs, databases, networks, web systems, and security assurance.

Role based access control is an ideology through which access to systems is restricted based on authority given. It is used by organizations with a relatively large number of employees ranging from five hundred to one thousand and above (Sieunarine & University of Oxford, 2011). This is implemented through the mandatory access control or through the discretionary access control. These are the only two ways through which role based access control can be implemented.

Month to month payments: The month to month payments and easily cancelled membership seems very tempting to most. But what are you really getting for the large monthly amount that you are paying out? Most reviewers agree across the board that you can accomplish far more by contacting the credit agencies on your own.
