[M1] The use of new network technologies allows different organisations to connect with their worldwide counterparts allowing them to get information out quicker and to help create new ideas without being face to face. The use of VoIP and Video Conferencing allows a company to sit down and talk about new ideas even though they are on two completely different sides of the world. Others such as Server virtualisation allows a company to increase their security so that people cannot access their servers easily. Cloud computing can also help companies by allowing them to put files online and have their employees and other managers access it whenever they need to. However there are some downsides to some of these technologies. If a cloud computing server is hacked the company could lose some important files and the hacker may be able to gain access whenever they want. Also video conferencing may not always work due to time and bad connection therefore groups may not be able to create new things together and would have to stay within their own

This act was brought in by Parliament in order to define the UK law on processing data. This governs the protection of personal data in the UK. It also helps to control how an individual’s personal information is used by many different businesses and organisations that may contact them. Anyone who can be held responsible for using data must follow specific rules/guidelines e.g. data must be used fairly and lawfully, it must be used for limited and stated purposes, and it must be used in a way that is adequate. This act replaced another legislation act that was implemented in 1984. This act was also based on data protection.

Copyright management and awareness Responsibility: University’s Copyright Officer a) Provide staff members with advice in regards to the management and adherence to the Australian Copyright Act 1968 (Cth) and this policy. b) Maintain and review content in this policy and the copyright obligations of the staff Licensing Information Within the Copyright Act there are two provisions with allows the University to reproduce and communicate copyrighted material in accordance with certain conditions. These two provisions are called The Part VA and Part VB Statutory License.

Access Copyright is a non-profit agency that represents writers and publishers by collecting and distributing royalty fees on their behalf. Although this is a “non-profit” organization, Access Copyright does still charge administration fees for their services and enforces a business model that has worked its way into attempting to monopolize their copyright services by making their presence mandatory through seeking to implement a permanent tariff for industries to pay if they are not licensing the rights to copyrighted material through their agency. York University, the defendant, is one of several Canadian Universities that has been operating outside of the Access Copyright’s temporary tariff since 2011. The wise decision to operate outside of Access Copyright is supported by the University’s proven commitment to ensuring that all access to copyrighted materials for studying, teaching, and research purposes are being properly used with the appropriate payment to authors and publishers independently. By ensuring that both the authors and publishers’ copyrighted materials are compensated and all royalties are paid directly towards them this cuts out the need for a middleman, which in this case is Access Copyright.

One of the next sections explains how the policies will be enforced and what type of

The themes that are common among each policy are security and protection of vital information and a desire to ensure that the reader understands what kind of information is being offered (Managing - Beth, 2007; Managing, 2002; Managing - Georgetown, 2007). There are no significant differences between the policies in the sense of what they protect against and what they provide. The main difference is that some of the policies are longer than others and some of them are presented differently. For example, the policy of Georgetown University Medical Centers is provided all on one page, with hyperlinks the reader can click in order to be taken to different parts of the document (Managing - Georgetown, 2007). The other two policies open in separate documents and all of the information is provided within those documents, with one being seven pages shorter than the other (Managing, 2007; Managing, 2002). While there is no specific benefit either way, it is up to the company as to how it wants to present the information and how it wants other people to access that information.

These policies must be written in such a way that employees understand what is being asked of them, and to prevent confusion. The

In this task, I have been asked summarise the Data Protection Act (1998) and Computer Misuse Act (1990). Also I will have to explain the ethical issues surrounding the code of practice (when using email and internet) and information ownership and talk about the importance of backing up information and impact of increasing the sophistication of systems.
