...Network Security Darren Jackson NTC/411 April 18, 2013 Dennis Williams Network Security White Lodging Security Breach In February 2015, KrebsOnSecurity reported that for the second time in a year, multiple financial institutions were complaining of fraud on customer credit and debit cards that were all recently used at a string of hotel properties run by hotel franchise firm White Lodging Services Corporation. The company said at the time that it had no evidence of a new breach, but last week White Lodging finally acknowledged a “suspected” breach of point-of-sale systems at 10 locations. Banking sources back in February 2015 stated that the cards compromised in this most recent incident looked like they were stolen from many of the same White Lodging locations implicated in the 2014 breach, including hotels across the country. Those sources said the compromises appear once again to be tied to hacked cash registers at food and beverage establishments within the White Lodging run hotels. The sources said the fraudulent card charges that stemmed from the breach ranged from mid-September 2014 to January 2015. White Lodging president and CEO, Hospitality Management, Dave Sibley stated in a press release issued April 8, 2015 that “after suffering a malware incident in 2014, we took various actions to prevent a recurrence, including engaging a third party security firm to provide security technology and managed services. These security measures were unable to stop the current...

...Retirement Planning: Plan for the Unexpected Many adults are optimistic about retirement, but many will be unsuccessful in preserving the lifestyle and standard of living to which they have become comfortable because they will neglect to plan and save. In fact, some people do not even attempt to calculate what their needs will be when they retire. In the past, Americans could count on Social Security, Medicare, and pension plans directed by their employer to help plan their retirement; however, today it is entirely different. The future of both the Social Security program and the Medicare program are uncertain, and to compound the problem, most employers no longer offer defined benefit plans. Some employers offer contribution plans, such as 401k plans; however, that means that people need to have self-discipline and exhibit regular patterns of investing to ensure a comfortable retirement. Citizens must be active and take responsibility for their own financial security. Not only do people have to calculate how much money they will need for ordinary living expenses, but they will also have to calculate how many years they will live in retirement. In addition, they need to recognize the impact that inflation will have on spending power and determine how much money they will need to cover medical and long-term care expenses if they arise. Although the Social Security program will play an important role in retirement, Americans must create a plan that covers every cost, including...

...1. How can a security framework assist in the design and implementation of a security infrastructure? Designing a working plan for securing the organization s information assets begins by creating or validating an existing security blueprint for the implementation of needed security controls to protect the information assets. A framework is the outline from which a more detailed blueprint evolves. The blueprint is the basis for the design, selection, and implementation of all subsequent security policies, education and training programs, and technologies. The blueprint provides scaleable, upgradeable, and comprehensive security for the coming years. The blueprint is used to plan the tasks to be accomplished and the order in which to proceed. What is information security governance? Governance is “the set of responsibilities and practices exercised by the board and executive management with the goal of providing strategic direction, ensuring that objectives are achieved, ascertaining that risks are managed appropriately and verifying that the enterprise’s resources are used responsibly.”1 Governance describes the entire process of governing, or controlling, the processes used by a group to accomplish some objective. Just like governments, corporations and other organizations have guiding documents—corporate charters or partnership agreements—as well as appointed or elected leaders or officers, and planning and operating procedures. These elements in combination provide...

...enjoying the golden years. While Social Security was not intended to be a retirement plan, but rather a retirement supplement or safety net, many American retirees have relied heavily on this monthly benefit to sustain him. Many Americans were/are not fortunate enough to have worked for a company that provided an ample pension or any pension plan. The lower and middle classes in the United States, out of necessity, have survived in their post working years on Social Security. Even though that may not have been the intent of the program that is the hard reality. Middle class and upper class individuals have had the luxury of acquiring a little extra money to set aside or to invest for their retirement. Most Americans expect Social Security to provide for them in their retirement years. However, as many people know from reading, listening, or watching the news, Social Security is in financial distress. Congress is discussing changes that need to be made for Social Security to survive even as a reduced entitlement. Therefore, Social Security may no longer be relied on as sufficient for even the barest necessities of life. Therefore people should consider alternatives for future financial security including individual, employer retirement plans, or investment such as stocks or bonds. However, before discussing alternatives ways to provide for the future, one needs to understand how Social Security currently works. Social Security accumulates credits based on earnings. One...

These safeguards, while important, are only truly effective as part of an overall information security management system. The integration of existing security technologies and processes into a cohesive framework for security management will ultimately reduce inefficiencies and redundancy and ensure the manageability of those solutions. A comprehensive security program should contain the proper balance between people, processes and technology to effectively manage risk with minimal impact on normal business operations. In order to build an appropriate information security program, an organization should assess and define their specific security requirements, design a solution that meets those unique requirements, deploy the necessary policies, technology and procedures, and continuously maintain, adapt and improve that solution. An organization’s overall security strategy will provide a framework for defining those elements necessary in building and maintaining a sound security management program. Strategic planning can take many forms, but the end result should yield a documented approach for achieving goals set within the...

As such, its underlying theoretical framework is of critical importance, since the relationships it portrays convey a message about the route to competitiveness. This paper will compare how two schools us the support related to the validity of the Baldrige framework by examining both schools plans at the level of its theoretical constructs. By moving beyond the specific criteria, I seek to examine it in a larger context, how these schools and business in general can use it for strategic planning. Baldrige and Plans The Baldrige literature has been influential in providing guidance for achieving performance excellence in businesses. The Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Improvement, which embodies many elements from UC Berkeley and UC Boulder strategic IT plans, offers a framework for implementing a set of high-performance management practices, including customer orientation, business process management, and fact-based management. This framework points to the interconnections between information and analysis, process management, customer management...
