...payroll department last year may be due to a process that is flawed or by an employee who did not follow the process. The Sr. VP Dale Connor is attempting to bring to Jacket-X an atmosphere were security is an important part of every job at the company. He also realizes this is new thinking for Jacket-X and it will take the employees some time to adapt to the new culture. The need for cyber security is greater now than ever. In 2011, The Ponemon Institute published the Second Annual Cost of Cyber Crime Study. In the study, the institute reports that the median cost of cybercrime in a survey of 50 organizations was $5.9 million annually. Jill Peters is the VP of Human Resources and the payroll function falls in her sphere of responsibility. Jill knows the payroll function but is not a fan of the automation that IT can provide to her department. Jill feels that security can hamper the productivity of her department. The need for security that Dale is trying to foster does not seem to have a champion in Jill. The fact that Jill feels that she and Dale have a good dialogue is encouraging but security will be a hard sell to Jill. The payroll function occurs on the company intranet and the intranet has connectivity with the internet. Cybercriminals may be able to find a way into the company payroll and divert money from the employees into their own pockets. Jacket-X may not have the security in place to repel an attack on their intranet. In 2009, the Giant grocery store chain...
