...Slade Plating Department In the case of the Slade Plating department there are a number of problems that occur within the company. The main problem is that most of the employees within the department punch fellow co-workers timecards out when the employees are not there. A lot of these problems can be linked to the business’ organizational behavior. There are many employees within the firm that have organized into teams. The most organized being the Sarto and Clark groups. Employees in these groups and some within smaller groups have developed a system where one person in the group stays after the manager leaves at 5:00pm. The alternating individual staying late punches out the other employee’s timecards at 7:00pm allowing most of the staff to go home early without losing pay. This problem occurs because the manager arrives later and leaves earlier than any other employee. The workers are unsupervised for many hours per day and are often not supervised at all on weekends. Proper supervision and coordination of authority is paramount to improving the existing problem at the Slade Plating Department. These practices also occur because the hourly wage offered is low and the system being used is fairly easy to manipulate. There is no reason that in this modern age of technology employees are so easily able to steal from the Slade Company. Many options exist to this agency that are both inexpensive and cost effective. Modernization or implementation of new video monitoring...

...Introduction Information security means protecting information and information systems from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction. The terms information security, computer security and information assurance are frequently used interchangeably. These fields are interrelated and share the common goals of protecting the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information; however, there are some subtle differences between them. These differences lie primarily in the approach to the subject, the methodologies used, and the areas of concentration. Information security is concerned with the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data regardless of the form the data may take: electronic, print, or other forms. Governments, military, financial institutions, hospitals, and private businesses amass a great deal of confidential information about their employees, customers, products, research, and financial status. Most of this information is now collected, processed and stored on electronic computers and transmitted across networks to other computers. Should confidential information about a businesses customers or finances or new product line fall into the hands of a competitor, such a breach of security could lead to lost business, law suits or even bankruptcy of the business. Protecting confidential information is a business requirement, and in many cases also an ethical and legal requirement. For the individual, information...
