Security Requirements & Possible Risks

The problem experienced by the Wayward Pines Public Library of having one of their public access computers (PAC) becoming a zombie member of a Botnet army is not an isolated one.

Discuss the considerations necessary to address the possible security requirements and the possible risks associated with the Benefits Elections Systems being requested by the Service Request.

When businesses provide computers for public use, several challenges are presented. In addition to allowing the general public this service, and ultimately growing their market share, a business must define the line between appropriate use and securing the network.

Huffman Trucking Company has requested a new Benefits Election System to be implemented within the organization. The current benefit packages include medical, dental, and vision plans for employees. For the Benefit Election System, employee information and the benefit package they choose are stored and managed on a database system. This can either be a hardcopy paper file or an electronic file. Regardless of the storage method, security measures need to be implemented to protect employee's privacy and information as well as preserve company assets from theft and/or litigation.

Database corruption is one potential safety concern for the Benefits Election System. Database corruption comes in several forms including viruses and worms. Viruses act as a real program that is installed on the computer or network and every time the program is accessed the virus spreads to other programs until the system and/or computer essentially crashes. On the other hand, worms attack the security holes within a network. Like viruses, worms attach themselves to holes within the security of the network. Once worms have attached to the network the worm then scans for other networks with holes to replicate. This kind of corruption to the system can lead to loss and damage of information on the system. Anti-corruption software is readily available in today’s market which reduces

Factors that are the best sources for security determinations are considered by the offender’s gender, sex, age at their first conviction, disabilities and/or mental deficiencies are not caused by the offender and these factors are not likely to change. These permanent factors are natural to the offender and are stated as static risk factors. Static risk factors are the best basis for security determinations. Dynamic risk factors are an individual’s characteristics that can change and that are controlled or influenced by the criminal, for example, their work, drug addictions, motivation, and their family relationships. These features are very useful for treatment providers, but these features are not sound fundamentals for security determinations

The next step option to further prevent this security will involve restricting access to data by requiring a password, personal identification numbers, or a callback procedure. This approach will restrict logon time to a maximum of 2 minutes; if the computer goes idle for 2 minutes, a login password will be required to gain access to the system. The only problem with previous approach will the redundant need to frequently reenter password, to alleviate this problem associated with redundant authentication, the organization can adopt the use of a biometric method of authentication, for example, the use iris scanner, fingerprint, or an electronic signature (Joos et al, 2010).

Technical safeguarding for our unique user identification and secure password should be changed every so often so no one can access your system.

My experience with the critical skill of evaluation is most apparent in my ability to accurately review and analyze facility security assessments (FSA). These assessments are prepared and completed by the Federal Protective Service (FPS) Inspectors, and are a vital part of their performance plan and core document. Facility security assessments are comprised of a Vulnerability Survey Reports (VSR) that FPS provides as a unique, yet comprehensive evaluation report that is developed under the Modified Infrastructure Survey Tool (MIST). As the Area Commander, it is my responsibility for overseeing all stages of the assessment process. The FSA includes the VSR in the vulnerability survey report. The VSR evaluates the weakness in the overall

Safety nets must be installed as close as practicable under the walking/working surface on which employees are working and never more than 30 feet below such levels. Nets found to be defective are prohibited from use. Safety nets are required to be inspected at least weekly for wear, damage, and other deterioration particularly if debris has found its way onto the net. Any items that have fallen on to the net will be removed as soon as possible but no later than the end of the work shift. The maximum size of each netting opening will not exceed thirty-six square inches and will not be limited to six inches or less on any given side. Openings will be measured center-to-center, of mesh ropes or webbing will not exceed 6 inches. Netting at the point of the crossings will be secured to prevent any enlargement of the mesh opening. Each safety net and or section will have a border rope breaking strength of 5,000 pounds. Connections between safety net panels will be as strong as integral net components and be spaced no more than 6 inches apart. It is important that these nets be installed with lower vertical clearance so a worker will not be injured by the depression of the net during a fall (Johnson, 2013).

Today, most businesses large or small have computers. To ensure that only the required employees have access to the information contained, passwords and security codes are issued to the relevant employees. In this way only the relevant employees could access electronic appointment schedules when needed.

The designing phase of this system is highly complex. As the system has deal with large number of users and has to maintain huge database The whole system operates over the internet which makes the system more susceptible to online threats so the security issue is the main concern of this system.This system is very much costlier than other

The reader will become familiarised with the term risk and it definitions from specifically the ISO 31000 standard of risk management and also the definition of risk from the criminology crime triangle. Which one of these two definitions that are the most suitable for usage within the security industry will be discussed and evaluated. How and why consequence is important when assessing risk priorities and determining where to allocate resources will be examined and answered.

Answer: Information Security is the practice of defending (guiding) information by considering the CIA Triad Principles which are Confidentiality (Authorize access), Integrity (Accuracy and Completeness) and Availability.

There is a rapidly evolving set of challenges that IT professionals are being presented with. Beginning with security threats, IT professionals are constrained with the current technology that their organizations are investing in. There is a need to reexamine the risks, such as leakage of confidential information. While this is escalating, performance issues are developing with the current applications to deal with the secure infrastructure and functions. IT professionals are struggling to find a cost effective way to store, recover and secure data under current
