Securing Student Identity

Most schools in the country give their students student ids, which offer many benefits, such as providing a safer and more organized environment. However, Montour does not offer these to their students. Getting student Ids for all students in Montour High School would increase efficiency and safety throughout the school.

The main concern that may arise when dealing with intruders in the college is getting hold of personal information. This is a major concern for any school or college and is important that they are stopped. If intruders do enter the premises they could get hold of personal information about students and staff. In my poster I have highlighted this and given advice on how to stop this from occurring if someone unauthorized enters the building. Computes should be password locked when they are not being used and any confidential paper work should be put into cabinets which are locked. Staff should ensure that all members staff are aware of this rule and if any computers are not locked to do so. By having this

In today’s world of instant connectivity and information at users’ fingertips, it’s vital that sensitive information is safeguarded against those who seek to do personal harm and profit from gaining access to the data. The key behind keeping information safe is the method in which it’s protected and encrypted. In order to appreciate how information is secured, users must understand the encryption concepts behind it. To do this, one must comprehend the current encryption standards, the trends and developments in encryption technology, the importance of securing data, the government’s regulations pertaining to encryption, the companies involved in research and implementation, the implications of leaked or stolen data, and a brief look into

This analysis discusses some issues and requirements to correct these issues that are outlined in the Turn Key University (TKU) data breach case study. In addition to these issues and requirements, some applicable laws will be discussed and some controls will be suggested for implementation.

Premier Collegiate School has a staff of thirty (30) faculty members, including administrative staff and teachers, and an enrollment of 300 students. The school maintains two (2) servers, one for student usage applications and software, and one for administration. Also, teachers have ten (10) computers located in the teacher’s lounge; and each administrative personnel have dedicated computers (10) at their disposal. Each student is required to provide their own laptop with wireless access (ITT technical institute, 2016).

This paper will present a report that will assist with determining the controls required to implement to ensure that data are secure for the Northcentral University. This paper will summarize the security breaches of the Target Store Corporation over the previous year and make recommendations in the form of information technology security best practices to strengthen the University’s infrastructure.

Papa (2011), indicated to combat these issues administrators must consider protective measures for both internet and technology use (p.198). Protocols for teaching students how to use the internet appropriately must be put in place (Papa, 2011, p. 198). Antivirus and protection software must also purchased to “prevent extensive damage to existing computer systems” (Papa, 2011, p.198). Regrettably, despite our best efforts to maintain network security we must still face the possibility of people or physical threats such as:

As we continue to rely more on technology, it is important to mitigate the security risks that come with

While there is an extensive amount of files on the Internet, not all are valuable enough to be saved. Companies have to choose what’s most important in order to save space in the cloud system they have (one of the many ways businesses and/or users have kept their documents safe and backed up just in case they were to ever lose the original location in which files were saved). Employees use mobile gadgets not only to be accessible to many things at once but to stay connected in the system that the workplace may have set in place for fluency during work hours. People have items such as phones and tablets that are also subject to hacking. Although these gadgets are very efficient, they place a huge threat to companies at

I am Professor Kirk Mooring and I will be your instructor for this class. In this class, you will learn the fundamental core theories of information and network security. In this course, you will learn and use technology skills that are in demand in today’s job market. With so many threats and vulnerabilities created daily that we have to learn to work as a team in order to protect our data with the appropriate security safeguards. You will study the concepts that will help you evaluate and mitigate risk by selecting the appropriate security controls and technologies.

Social security cards should be kept in a secure place and only provided when absolutely necessary. When personal information is solicited, a response should not be provided and when typing in passwords on computers or at ATM's, the keypad should be shielded from being viewed by others. Mail should be collected promptly and if not home, a hold should be placed by the local postal service. Close attention to be focused on billing cycles and reviewing receipts to ensure accuracy. Any documentation othat contains personal information should be shredded and if not, the information should be kept in a secured area, along with installation of firewalls and virus detection software on home computers. Passwords should be complex and not easily guess and credit reports should be ordered once a year and reviewed to make sure that it contains only that individual's accounts and information.

Banner by Ellucian, an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system is widely used by many higher education institutions in the world today. Known to be the leading ERP system in higher education, Ellucian develops security plans for each institution that establishes procedural protection for their highly sensitive database that stores critical personnel and students account information. In order to effectively secure this sensitive information, it is recommended that the institution’s IT Department enforces the highest level of tiered defense in depth security measures to ensure and maintain data confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the data. Lack of proper security measures can result in data vulnerabilities that will reap great distress on the institution along with its students, faculty and staff.

In order to provide maximum safety and privacy to our employees and customers, Edu Corp enforces the security of internal networks and cloud-based devices, requires the development of strong passwords for all accounts, encrypts all company-based internet access, including wireless access, encrypts all company data and digital assets, routinely updates and re-configures company applications, upholds strict web-browsing rules, secures all remote-based network access to the fullest extent possible, and adheres to stringent external storage regulations.

Usage of remote servers via internet to store, manage and process data instead of using a personal computer is known as Cloud computing. It’s a set of Information Technology services with the ability to scale up or down their service requirements. Most of the cloud services are provided by a third party service provider. In cloud computing, organizations can utilize IT services without in advance investment. Despite its benefits obtained from the cloud computing, the organizations are slow in accepting it due to security issues and challenges. Security is one of the major problems which hinder the growth of cloud. It’s not wise to handing over the important data to another company; such that clients need to be vigilant in understanding the risks of data infringement in this new environment. This paper discusses a detailed analysis of the cloud computing security issues and challenges. (Ayoleke)

Authentication is the only method which protects information or data of an individual or organization from a second party to access. Based upon the confidentiality of that particular data or information, the level of authentication depends. Now-a-days, all this data and information what we are talking about is getting digitized all around the world. For this digitized data or information to be secure, a proper authentication procedure must be set. This arise the need for an authentication secret which belongs to the category “Something we know” to come into picture. These secrets authenticate each secret holder as the authorized legitimate user to access their particular account. Technology is
