Paper on Physical Security

Confidentiality is the protection of information from unauthorized access. This is the assurance that information provided has not been made known to unauthorized persons, processes or devices. The application of this security service suggests information labeling and need-to-know imperatives are core aspects of the system security policy. Information, in today’s world, has value and everyone has information they wish to keep secret. Information such as credit card details, trade secrets, personal information, government documents, and many more. It was stated (Securitas Operandi™, 2008) that, we are bound to keep many secrets – corporate, staff, and personal secrets. We must keep this confidential information under wraps and earn the trust of employers, colleagues, and regulators every day. Mechanisms to enforce this include cryptography, which is, encrypting and decrypting data, access controls such as

Team “C” was hired by Riordan Manufacturing management to overhaul the security features currently employed by the company. Management outlined a comprehensive plan that included a complete hardware refresh, security best practices and end user training. Team “C” will devote resources to assess the physical and network security issues and concerns at each Riordan plant. Once those have been identified, Team “C” will identify the data security issues and concerns present at each Riordan plant. Finally, Team “C” will address web security issues and concerns present at each Riordan plant and recommend a way forward for the company.

Any enterprise has to pay special attention to computer security. Computer security is a field that is concerned with the control of risks related to computer use. A primary focus should be on the external threats to the computing environment. In enterprise with branches cross country, it is important to allow information from "trusted" external sources, and disallow intrusion from anonymous or non-trusted sources. In a secure system, the authorized users of that system are still

By examining data security in regards to Riordan, it is apparent that very little exists. Riordan`s data security contains an assortment of random and disorganized systems that contain sensitive data, however none of these systems are linked, nor are any of them current with respect to memory, speed, and processing power. Additionally, employee information such as payroll records, completed training, and incidents involving complaints and harassment, are cataloged using Microsoft Excel, which has no real security measures other than a password protection option.

From the Requirements for the Corporate Computing Function, the fifth computing facility fulfillment point reads, “Meet information requirements of management” (Stallings, 2009, p. 58). Stated in another way, this Chief Information Officer’s (CIO) mission statement’s component implies that company information can be utilized by management for a great deal of things. While the security of all company-owned data is immensely important to the success of the organization, some of the information carries significant value when used by

The Bill of Rights or the First 10 Amendments to the Constitution guarantee certain uninhibited rights to all criminal defendants of the United States whether innocent of, suspected of, arrested for, or being convicted of a criminal act. In particular the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 8th amendments keep would be felons from being denied the inherent rights given as protection to all of our nation’s children. Each of the four rights will be discussed in detail herein and how they affect the Criminal Justice System as a whole but a greater focus will be spent on the 8th amendment and how it pertains to cruel and unusual punishment and of its great debate and deniability as to its occurrences in Maximum Security Prisons. Our system of Justice

Riordan Manufacturing conducts an information systems security review over IT security issues that exist in different plants to prepare for an upcoming audit in accordance to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Several elements of the organization 's information systems require revisions and updates to optimize physical and network security, data security, and Web security.

A successful business works on the basis of revenue growth and loss prevention. Whenever an organization start a project, they first plan for security because security breach can impact on overall project like data leakage, down-time and reputation loss. This may, in turn, impact on the company’s bottom line and ultimately profit margins. A virus attack on project or a network breach can cost a business thousands of dollars. In some cases, it may even lead to legal liability and lawsuits.

Security is now and again called an "overall concern" in light of the fact that everything required in the Web administrations environment needs some level of insurance against the numerous dangers and difficulties that IT divisions must manage all the time. For instance, SOAP messages should be secure, WSDL records may should be secured against unapproved get to, firewall ports may require extra systems to make preparations for overwhelming burdens and to assess Web administrations messages, et cetera. Since Web administrations are intended for interoperability, an imperative objective of the security innovations is to empower execution environment advances to keep on working while adding security instruments to the Web administrations layers above them.

The reason for this project is to help come up with a new Human Resources Client-Server Database system. The capabilities of the new system will be to centralize Riordan Manufacturing’s data and will help improve the overall security of the data within. This was conveyed to the IT department due to the increased volume of personal data currently being sent across unsecure data-lines, within Riordan. An employee’s information is treated with the care and securing that information is priority one. Because Riordan has several locations around the country, a centralized database system is needed to secure the employee’s information, but also remain accessible to the employee’s that need access to this informatio.

This area of the Security Policy articulation presented is a report that all in all make up the Security Policy that administers the activities of the Campbell Computer Consulting and Technology Company. The security strategy covers the accompanying:

Moreover, now days using information system is not as walking as in the park, it has many new security treats that the company might lose their confidential data, financial and personal information.

The use of information technology in business presents major security challenges, poses serious ethical question, and affects society in significant ways. Especially, the computer crime is a growing threat to society and is caused by the criminal or irresponsible actions of individuals who are taking advantage of the widespread use and vulnerability of computers and the Internet and other networks. It presents a major challenge to the integrity, safety, and survival of most business systems.

But these tools alone do not provide adequate system security – a policy for system users, as mentioned above, that is based on the identification and prioritization of threats and assumed threats helps to maintain the network's health. The key feature of the policy is an ongoing training program that teaches all users the importance and value of including safe system user practices in their daily routine. Users are more likely to follow security practices if they understand the purpose of the practice and the consequences when these practices aren't used. Added to the training is a physical and electrical restriction of access to sensitive information and areas to users who have no business purpose for using such access. To ensure that the preventive measures are functioning effectively, regular audits of the security policy are performed. Log-on IDs are checked to verify their validity, and the users' activities are monitored to determine if the policies are being followed.

The requirements of information security within an organization have undergone two major changes in the last several decades. Before the widespread use of data processing equipment , the security of information felt to be valuable was provided primarily by physical and administrative
