Protecting networks are getting harder as there are different types of devices being used by companies. An example of this is Wyoming Medical Center has four different classifications of PCs, PCs in the hallways for the staff to use, PCs at the nursing stations, PCs in offices, and PCs on that move between patient rooms. Pettigrew deployed Novell ZenWorks to 850 of the medical centers 900 PCs to ensure each one has the right software.

"Christie reported that the doctor's laptop would not boot and showed only a black screen with a blinking cursor. Walked Christy through entering the system setup to verify boot settings. Walked her through running the Samsung Recovery feature to restore crucial Windows files. This issue was not resolved. Christy brought the computer to our office.

The global permission acceptance breaks the policy of least privilege due to the fact that it allows access to items that a user believes to be protected and are not due to the fact that it is placed in an open environment. The open environment is out there and is available to all who happen to be connected. The concept of the least privilege is that it limits who is able to access an item. The item is able to be accessed only after permission have been granted by the owner. When the global acceptance is utilized there is really no control over who is able to see the information due to the fact that the security has been removed to make it easier to be used. Although there are instances where an application has to be granted permission

I agree with you on this scenario. Kelly has the years of experience that Jody does not. Sending Kelly to get certified would not only benefit the company she works for but would also give her job security. This type of decision is very hard because this was once a field where there was no certification required and it was day to day learning that made the job possible. I believe that with the ever changing health care system it is going to be a mandate that almost all positions dealing with medical records are going to require some type of certification or degree due to the HIPPA laws.

Mission-creep is when a certain organization is assigned a task and then the organization expands their agenda past the main goal of the original task. There is a desire of the organization to essentially keep going after their initial task has already been completed. An example of this is when the US Department of Agriculture wanted submachine guns for its law enforcers, for this bureaucracy does not and should not have a need for them. Another example would be when the Department of Homeland Security created fusion centers after 9/11 to monitor potential terrorist communication, but these fusions pried into other crimes aside from terrorism. Mission-creep is a potential problem for keeping bureaucracies focused because they are going beyond what is relevant when there are other things to be accomplished. Mission-creep in bureaucracies is essentially like a person who recently cut their lawn to keep it looking nice, but then in turn wanted to keep going and mow the rest of the neighborhood’s lawns as well to make the whole neighborhood look nice.

“In my opinion, the Case would be improved by including the following summary” An American agriculture of the nineteenth century Cyrus McCormick, invented a company that produced farming equipment called McCormick Harvesting Machine Company. In 1902 his son Cyrus McCormick II merged the company with three competitors renaming it the International Harvester Company.
