Goal: Facility Safety In order to ensure the safety of everyone in the stadium and the facility, we have identified multiple potential vulnerabilities and steps to prevent a cyber attack that leads to harm to any person in the stadium or the stadium. Although the SAFETY Act prevents an entity from being held liable in the event of a terrorist attack, including a cyber terrorist attack, we believe it is in the best interest of the stadium to accept the following recommendations.This allows the stadium to create a safe and positive experience for all attendees. These recommendations include responses to potential vulnerabilities such as emergency systems, power grids, and electronic displays. Emergency Systems We believe that the emergency systems in stadiums are a vulnerability. One of the main areas of concern are the alarms in stadiums. If hackers are able to infiltrate the computer networks, there is a possibility of them being able to get access to the alarm-management network and disable all of the alarms in a stadium. This could prove to be disastrous in the case of an actual emergency because there would be no way to notify attendees to evacuate the stadium, go on lockdown, or take any other precautions necessary in the case of an emergency. In order to prevent this, we propose that all stadiums keep all operating systems up-to-date. By doing so, this lessens the number of flaws in the operating system that can be taken advantage of by hackers to infiltrate
Weaknesses are a symptom that is prevalent in today’s information technology realm, indicating vulnerabilities and risks that come hand and hand with shared networks like Aircraft Solutions. With enterprises exchanging an unprecedented level of information over open networks, the vulnerabilities and possibility of compromised security by unwanted intruders is swelling up into a new type of beast.
This project identifies a two possible issues that can happen during the system operations like hacking or data loss due to improper security provided to the company branches and there is no proper infrastructure of the firewall for the network structure. The aircraft security policy result in failure due to their two year reset program.
As basic users, security is one feature that most of us overlook when it comes to operating systems until it is too late. In this paper we will discuss the security flaws within the Windows Operating system, and then discuss countermeasures to fix the system flaw.
Computer systems evolve over time in response to new requirements, businesses rarely have a blank slate to work with – so compromises and security gaps will develop, it is almost guaranteed.
The tragic events of 9/11, have drastically added to the myriad of recognized risk types and threats as well as the security recommended and required to counter those threats. The Security Manager must be aware of current threat trends, as well as mitigation strategies for the risks identified by the stakeholders. The mitigation strategies vary depending on the type of asset, location, threats and level of risk. These risks can include the spectrum of natural events and disasters, human-caused events as well as the secondary events spawned by primary events. This paper will examine special event security, its purpose, and when such security is recommended.
Vulnerability assessments on terrorism were designed to establish any loopholes in a security system that are prone to harm or attack by a person who may have intentions to harm a particular location, an event or an individual. The main goal of terrorism vulnerability assessments is to establish the weaknesses of facilities across a variety of probable threats. Once such threats are assessed, physical and operational measures of improvement are put in place so as to make sure that such facilities are adequately protected. Such assessments can be administered to a vast range of facilities ranging from existing site management and new construction design over the life of service of such structures. This paper will delve into critical vulnerability assessment of three locations. The first location being Susquehanna Bank Center in Camden City, the Benjamin Franklin Bridge and lastly Corriell Institute for Medical Research.
The article, which addresses security loopholes in modern computing environments, by Loscocco et al highlights what is and has been being done security wise in the past and how secure these implementations were and going forward what should be done to ensure in depth security which guarantees system wide security (1998). The article first explains features of secure operating system and why current systems implemented under the notion of application space security ultimately failed to safe guard the integrity and confidentiality of our assets. The article then continued with general examples of access control and cryptography implemented in the application space with no or little support from operating system and showed their vulnerabilities to attacks such as tampering, bypassing and spoofing. The article supplied real-life examples to support the evidence that building security in the application space without secure operating system is meaningless. The article raised concrete examples on mobile code security, Kerberos network authentication service, IPSEC and SSL network security protocols and firewall. The paper finally put an interesting remark that security implemented in application space without secure operating system is like “building a house in a pile of sand” and it also emphasized that secure operating system without better security on the
Abstract -This paper addresses the internal and the external security challenges in organizations that implements wireless networks. Distributed security is designed to provide a more secure data communication among faculty members, staff and students. A description of the technique used to protect and keep PC 's up and running is illustrated with applications.
Computers have become part of our daily complex lives; we depend heavily on computers to help break our complicated lives down. Most people now prefer to do things the digital way and so does companies. Most of trading (buying and selling) is now online which requires computers. In order to satisfy our hunger for digital living, there is a need for technology called the operating system to carry out the activities we require our computers to do. Computers and technology come in different forms and sizes and due to the capitalistic nature of our economy everyone is allowed to come up with their own form of computer and even the technology to run it. In recent years’ companies have gained interest doing business digitally and since software have become easier to write or code, it is also vulnerable- easy for programmers to access and exploit called hacking. Hackers are unapproved clients who break into a technological framework, change or decimate data, frequently by introducing hazardous malware without the insight and assent of the host company. Companies are now at risk of losing much more than money by doing business the digital way. It is in this view that the Security Exchange
The opinion of the court made their case by referring to other cases. These cases defined the duty of the stadium owner, by declaring that “Once the stadium owner has provided ‘adequately screened seats’ for all those desiring them, the stadium owner has fulfilled its duty of care as a matter of law.” (Leagle, 2015). Instead of finding the Houston Sports Association liable, the judge indicated that because Karen attended the game with an adult, the adult was liable to warn her of the dangers that could take place when at a baseball game. Though the jury did not find her father, Robert Friedman, negligent in warning his daughter about the possibility of what might happen, Texas law asserts that her father assumed the risk for his daughter,
General duties under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, ensures that any risk to health and safety from work activities are properly controlled. The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 generally made more explicit requirements on employers. The Safety at Sports Grounds Act 1975 also places specific regulations on sports stadia etc. Good practise requires that these regulations be applied to all persons under the control of the organisers. Risk assessment is considered an integral part of good management. A member of the senior safety management team will ensure that Risk Assessments are carried out prior to all events that are held at The Valley, and are open to the general public. These risk assessments will include
When one attends a baseball game, they presume that they can become struck by a foul ball or bat during at any point throughout the game once they have entered the stadium or have purchased their ticket for the event. However, the stadium could still become responsible if one were to get injured due to the unusual stadium layout with unaware risks that could lead to potential harm or serious injury. At this minor league baseball game, the marketing department held a sling-shot contest in between innings that did not mention any initial warning until after the contest had begun. Therefore, a gentleman went to retrieve a t-shirt and fell onto a sports law professor causing her to break her leg.
Olympics are mega-global event that attracts the attention worldwide with billions of audience watching on television, while millions flock to events as spectators. The media embraces the opportunity of covering every inch of the games. This kind of interest is what organisers face with no room for error in relation to external attacks or system failures of the event although risks are bound to occur to any project or program as in the case of Olympics. These risks may occur with a positive impact to the organisers though they dread to have negative risks, which causes ripple effect to the project. (Taylor, 2006)
After being discussed, it has been decided that the Omaha Stingers will play their first season at the university of Nebraska’s Memorial Stadium. This stadium is located in Lincoln, which is about an hour away from Omaha. It can hold up to 87000 people, and it has suitable accommodations for this amount of people. This was one of the first choices, not only because it was the closest football stadium, but it could hold sufficiently hold the amount of fans that we project to bring in during the first season. There are many different concession and restrooms located spread out throughout the concourse which helps to accommodate the large crowds.
Modern businesses are faced with major security threats especially to their information systems. The complexity of systems has not helped in mitigating these threats. With the massive adaption of information systems within organizations, they have become the cornerstones for organizations and this has made the systems more vulnerable to sabotage and potential attacks. There are both external and internal threats to information systems, which can be accidental or intentional. The threats to information systems are multilayered, and they can affect a couple of components like networks, software applications, operating systems, intranet, internet, and wireless technologies.
