Impact of Occurrence: Major The threat event could be expected to have a potential for widespread disruption of operations and major impact to earnings and/or company image. Again, using Cloud AD as an example, if changes were to be made to corrupt the Active Directory structure every application using it for authentication and access would fail. Another example would be if an employee created an account it could be hidden and used later as a back door. Someone with elevated permissions could also delete one or more organizations from the directory causing varying degrees of service disruptions. Risk Score: High Mitigations 1. Grant elevated access only when required Perform user reviews and ensure that elevated access is only granted to those individuals who need it and have the knowledge to correctly use it. Do not grant permissions with a broad stroke. For example, if someone only needs permission to add an account to a group, grant the “add to user group permission”, not Domain Administrator permission. 2. Implement two factor authentication All administrative or root accounts on SPCComputing Infrastructure should utilize two factor authentication as a mechanism or authenticating accounts. Two factor authentication implements the concept of one time passwords and rendering an account useless to someone who was able to determine a password but did not have the token. 3. Administrative or root access should only be used when required All users should be logging on to
As we all know people are where we see the biggest problems in security breaches and problems on any computer or network system. People need to understand what they are allowed and not allowed to do, this is where policies, procedures, and training come in to play.
Is used a lot in colleges and schools it provides access to the right user it also manages and develops user’s access to computing resources; every user has to make a username and a password. The admin users can search the directory and access the central and departmental file servers, apps and printers across the network. It also makes sure the IT security is in good strength. Account management lowers the computing costs by reducing the number of servers needed for their department.
“New users are assigned access based on the content of an access request. The submitter must sign the request and indicate which systems the new user will need access to and what level of access will be needed. A manager’s approval is required to grant administrator level access.”
Do you think your roles provide the minimum access needed for a user to sufficiently perform his/her job function for the period of time in which they are expected to carry out that activity?
Account Management- Account Management manages what resources the user can access. It also allows users to only have to remember a single user and password. It allows users to access to central file servers, main printers and applications.
A firewall will be used so that UN authorized users will be restricted. Parts of security will be different user account and password for each member.
Rules are to be set properly so that employees can access information for which they have access or authority.
The year 2017 has seen a plethora of deadly disasters. Disasters, natural or man-made, are extremely disturbing events that cause hardship, suffering, injury, and death. A disaster can be detrimental to human societies and their way of life. Natural disasters, such as hurricanes, mudslides, and wild fires can cause everlasting changes to humanity, biomes, and the planet. Likewise, man-made events, such as war, terrorist attacks, or toxic spills can be just as damaging. One job of the Secretary General of the United Nations (UN) is to insure that humanitarian aid is provided to relieve the pain and suffering caused by all types of disasters. In addition, saving lives by utilizing our resources is the main goal of the UN. Norman Borlag once stated, “The destiny of world civilization depends upon providing a decent standard of living for all mankind.” Therefore, the issues that will be addressed using the $50,000,000 plus anonymous contribution will involve providing humanitarian aid to disaster torn areas in order improve the standard of living and preserve human dignity. This is the most important dilemma facing the international community today.
In a business environment, controlling who has access to business information and at what level is critical for facilitating day-to-day business operations. There are three levels of information access: no access, read access, and read-write access. Use a business of your choice to answer the criteria for this assignment.
In most domain settings the each administrator has their own domain admin account to allow them administrator privileges on all of the windows operating systems within a domain. Thus, the use of the local administrator account is unnecessary and poses several risks to the operating system. By disabling the local administrator account you can mitigate the potential of misuse, hacking, and security vulnerabilities in the windows systems. This also ensures better tracking of what changes are made to the system and who made the

Users accounts should be limited and not granted excessive authorizations especially ability to access to administrative functions such as read and/or write source code and source code trees.
Two-factor authentication (2FA) essentially adds another level of authentication for your log-ins. Instead of using only your username and password, you need
This paper will discuss the differences between two different natural and man-made disasters. The disasters that will be discussed are Hurricane Katrina and the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Additionally, this paper will look into the specifics of what constitutes a natural and man-made disaster. Specifically, this paper will look into each disaster to include the events surrounding them; the risks; and the assessments. Furthermore, this paper will look at some of the details of each disaster and why there was so much devastation. Finally, this paper will look at a few similarities, but mainly the differences between the two, and how the effects of each still linger today.
