...Fundamentals of Information Systems Security CSS150-1302B-02 Phase 1 Discussion Board 2 Christopher Smith May 22, 2013 Hello all. At this time we are going to discuss three out of the seven domains of a typical IT infrastructure. The three that have I chosen to discuss have the greatest impact on your day to day work lives. The domains with the most impact are the user domain (you), the workstation domain (your computer), and the remote access domain (work from home users). The information within the seven domains is meant as internal use only. We at Richman Investments take the security of our, and our customer’s information very seriously. We will be discussing the three domains that are the most susceptible to attack. The human factor is the biggest variable in these domains. We will be discussing the safeguards put in place here at our firm. The largest of the three domains we will be discussing is the user domain. As stated above this means you. Included in our yearly security awareness training is a recap of our acceptable use policy (also found in your employee handbook). The acceptable use policy mandates what you cannot do on our network. This includes not using personal devices on any wired/wireless networks within our property, and using storage devices not provided to you by the company. Any files you need to access away from the office should be stored on our secure online storage system only. As the user it is your responsibility to be diligent and keep your...

For all practical purposes, it is impossible to crack a RSA algorithm. § PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) is probably the best implementation of RSA. It is now owned by Symantec. § Other free products (which do not tightly integrate into email, for example) are available § Understand that PKI is NOT the same thing as public key encryption Fundamentals of Information Systems Security © 2012 Jones and Bartlett Learning, LLC www.jblearning.com Page 5 Fundamentals of Information Systems Security © 2012 Jones and Bartlett Learning, LLC www.jblearning.com Page 6 Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is a set of hardware, software, people, policies, and procedures needed to create, manage, distribute, use, store, and revoke digital certificates.
