Remote Access Policy
1. Overview
In today’s advanced world of technologies remote work arrangement is a normal thing. It is an important step of creating flexible work force. But there are certain risks associated with remote access such as unauthorized access, leakage of confidential information. So to minimize these potential risks a secure policy is required. Remote access policy tries to minimize the risks associated with remote networks by defining the system requirement for remote users before they are allowed to connect to the organization’s network. Remote access policy defines standards for connecting to organizational network and security standards for computers that are allowed to connect to organizational network.

With the use of remote access solution to balance the need for mobile access and user productivity is one way to keep corporate resources secure. The Portal app for iOS and Android devices simplifies secure mobile access to Riordan web applications that reside behind the access policy manager and Gateway. With the Portal applications, employees can access internal web pages and web applications fast. The Portal, along with customers’ existing Gateway, and access policy manager deployments, provides access to internal web applications such as Riordan intranet sites. This portal access provides a launch pad that IT department use to allow mobile access to precise web resources, without exposing full network access from unknown devices. Riordan employees can sync their e-mail, calendar, and contacts directly to the company Microsoft Exchange Server. This also permits IT department to award secure mobile access to web-based resources.
c. The following security measures must be implemented for any remote access connection into a secure network containing EPHI:
Explain who the information owner is that has the responsibility for the information and has the discretion to dictate access to that information.
Based on the premises that Richman has 5000 employees throughout the main office and several branch offices, this document dictates research solutions and details the appropriate access controls including policies, standards, and procedures that define who users are, what they can do, which resources they can access, and which operations they can perform on a system. |
Describe the policies for remote user access and authentication via dial-in user services and Virtual Private Networks (VPN)
“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
In the interest of business continuity, remote access will be utilized. User wishing access to internal network assets will only be able to access said assets with the use of a
The network access for third parties policy tries to make an explanation of the conditions under which the third parties accessing the healthcare facilities are allowed to access the information contained in the database. The records management policy on the other hand tries to offer an explanation of the records management requirements that may include the procedures of records retention and disposal. Additionally, he policy of security-networked devices tries to offer an explanation of all the responsibilities that are given to the different data users in making sure that all
3. Users must not attempt to access any data, documents, email correspondence, and programs contained on systems for which they do not have authorization.
The framework of security policy is defined to construct a structure by the help of which policy gaps can be identified in an easy manner. A system specific policy would assist to ensure that all employees and management comply with the policies. This is also used to maintain the confidentiality for user authentication would assist in the confidentiality aspect of security, maintain integrity (There are several limiting rules or constraints which are distinct in the relational data model and whose work is to maintain the data’s accuracy and maintain its integrity.), availability and authenticity of the system. Access controls are a collection of mechanisms that work together to create security architecture to protect the assets of an information system. One of the goals of access control is personal accountability, which is the mechanism that proves someone performed a computer activity at a specific point in time. So, the framework acts as the guideline
#6. A company is managing an Oracle Database located in a Public Server to support day-to-day operations in Dallas and Chicago networks. The company has requested its Internet Access Provider (ISP) to create the necessary ACL at the ISP router securing that only responses from Oracle server to certain hosts are allowed to enter Dallas and Chicago LANs.
The 9-Iron Country Club is trying to implement a remote access program for their employees to access their work from home. The 9-Iron Country Club provides services for more than 1,200 members and employs around 75 staff. During the winter months, outdoor operations are ceased and preparation for the upcoming seasons begins. The addition of a remote access option will give the staff the ability to securely work from home and provide continued support. The 9-Iron Country Club has hired an information consultant to prepare the network and provide recommendations for the remote access solution. The purposed solution is using Terminal Access Controller Access-Control System Plus (TACACS+) to provide a secure remote connection for all employees. This report will review TACACS+ implementation, risk involved, and data classification.
