...The first thing to understand is what the standard for “internal use only” is. The definition of “internal use only” is “Information or data shared internally by an organization. While confidential information or data may not be included, communications are not intended to leave the organization.” What does that mean? It means that information being used by this classification is to be created, used, and distributed through the organization and nowhere else. Let’s now explain the technical side of things. The IT infrastructure domains consist of 7 different domains. These domains are user domain, workstation domain, LAN domain, LAN-to WAN domain, remote access domain, system/application domain, and WAN domain. For the use of “Internal use only” classification it should only include the following domains. The following contains information on how “internal use only” classification is affected by these domains. User domain- The user domain is by far the most vulnerable. This domain can be vulnerable by the employee’s actions, emotions, and awareness of company policies and procedures. It is up to the user to use the information correctly not necessarily up to the network protocols in place. The best way to mitigate this issue it to monitor abnormal behavior and have employees understand the company’s acceptable use policy. Workstation domain- The workstation domain is how the user connect to the company’s IT infrastructure. It can be from workstations to personal data assistance...

...Impact of Data Classification Standard and Internal Use Only Data classification standard provides the means of how the business should handle and secure different types of data. Through security controls different data types can be protected. All these security controls should apply to each of every IT infrastructure in which it will state how the procedures and guidelines will guarantee the organization’s infrastructures security. This report will identify the definition of “Internal Use Only” data classification standard of Richman Investments. Internal Use Only includes information that requires protection from unauthorized use, disclosure, modification, and or destruction pertaining to a particular organization. This report will tackle 3 IT infrastructure including workstation domain, LAN-Wan Domain, and Remote Access Domain. Internal Use Only data includes data related to business operations, finances, legal matters, audits, or activities of a sensitive nature, data related to stake holders, information security data including passwords, and other data associated with security related incidents occurring at the business company, internal WCMC data, the distribution of which is limited by intention of the author owner or administrator. For the Workstation Domain, the impact of data classification standard internal use only can possibly applied when a user violates AUP and generates security hazard for the establishment’s IT infrastructure. In order to prevent something...

...I have been interning at Richman Investments for a couple months now, and I have been asked by my supervisor to write a report describing the “Internal Use Only” data classification standard of the company. Below are my findings of how these domains are affected. The first layer that I noticed that was affected by the “Internal Use Only” data classification standard was the user domain. The user domain is the weakest layer of the IT infrastructure and this is where the personal information is created. All users must be required to sign in before accessing the network because they have access to the information. If employees don’t sign in and agree with the acceptable use policy, they will be terminated immediately. The second layer I noticed that was affected by the “Internal Use Only” data classification standard is the workstation domain. The work station domain is where users access the systems, applications and the data first. Most users connect to the IT infrastructure through the workstation domain, which is why you to login and put in a password before you are allowed to access and view the information. The third layer that I noticed that was affected by the “Internal Use Only” data classification standard was the LAN-to-WAN domain. The LAN-to-WAN domain was affected because the UDP and TCP are easily accessible because they are the entry and exit points to the WAN which make the private information easily accessible to anybody. Fundamentals of Information...

...Internal use only data classification would include the User domain, the workstation domain, and the LAN domain. These domains are the basic IT infrastructure domains, and they will cover all the users and workstations in the company. The Internal use only classification will cover info such as telephone directory, internal policy manuals, and new employee training material. The user domain is where only one user will have access to it. This can be configured to internal use only. By default, the IT department tries to maintain a certain level of Security for this, so that nobody can access from the outside, only the IT Department can grant access privilege for Remote Access Point. The User Domain will enforce an acceptable use policy to define what each user can and cannot do with any company data that he or she has access to. Also, every user on the company is responsible for the security of the environment. The Workstation Domain, the impact of data classification standard internal use only can possibly applied when a user violates AUP and generates security hazard for the establishment’s IT infrastructure. In order to prevent something like this from happening, the Richman Investments can hire a professional to train all employees for a security awareness campaign and programs throughout the year The LAN domain includes all data closets and physical as well as logical elements of the LAN. This domain needs strong security, being that it is the entry and exit points to...

...Unit1/Assignment 2 03/25/13 Impact of a Data Classification Standard “Internal Use Only” This is my brief report on the IT infrastructure domain. I will be describing the “internal use only “data classification standards set by Richman Investments. The user domain is the first layer of the IT infrastructure I will discuss that is affected by the “internal use only” standard. It is the first layer and what some believe to be the weakest in the infrastructure. The user domain is where personal information is created and obtained for internal use only. Each person will have set permissions on what they can and cannot do. This way no one person can mess up or delete anything that doesn’t need to be (Jones and Bartlett Learning). The work station domain is the second layer of the infrastructure that I will discuss. This is also affected by the “internal use only” standard. This layer is where the user can access the network and any applications or information on the system. This requires a user to login with a password or authentication of some kind. This has to be done before this person can get to this information. This will help keep people out that aren’t supposed to be accessing the information (Jones and Bartlett Learning). The LAN to WAN domain is the third layer of the infrastructure I will discuss. I feel this is also affected by the “internal use only” standard. The TCP and UDP are not safe due the...

...Unit Assignment 2: Impact of a Data Classification The Internal Use Only data classification standard of Richman Investments has many different infrastructures domains that are affected via internal use only data classification. More than all others, the three infrastructures that are affected the most are the User Domain, Workstation Domain and the LAN Domain. The reason why the User Domain infrastructure is one of the most affected infrastructures is because the User Domain infrastructure is the infrastructure that allows users to access the network. This is a problem because many users do not fully understand everything, all the time and thus is bound to make a mistake sooner or later. With so many users on our network, this is probably the most vulnerable domain infrastructures in our network. The Workstation Domain is also another domain infrastructure that has great reason to be affect by internal use only data because this is where the user connects to the our network. The reason that this can cause security threats and other problems is because this domain can be connected via a personal laptop or even a cell phone or other mobile device. The final infrastructure domain that is greatly affected is the LAN domain. The reason that this domain infrastructure is affected by internal use only data is because this domain is the open domain available companywide, to anybody in the building or even near the building via a wireless device. If we watch these specific areas...

...RICHMAN INVESTMENTS “INTERNAL USE ONLY” AND DATA CLASSIFICATION My brief today will be about Richman Investments “Internal Use Only” and Data Classification. Richman Investments IT infrastructure domains will be basic. The infrastructure will be broken down to three domains: User Domain, Workstation Domain, and the LAN to WAN Domain. This will give the user, their workstations, and their access to the internet and Richman Investment server databases. The first layer of the Richman Investments IT infrastructure will be the User Domain. The User Domain is thought of the weakest parts of the infrastructure. This is where personal information is created and obtained for the “Internal Use Only.” The User Domain and Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) will tell what the user can and cannot do on the Richman Investments data that he or she has access to it. Everyone from Richman Investment user, contractor, and third party user will have to agree and comply with the AUP prior to gaining any access to the Richman Investments Network. Anyone in violations wills immediate suspension of their privileges to the Richman Investments Network until the investigation is complete by the IT Department and Richman Investments Executives. The violator can be assessed with punitive action. The second layer of the Richman Investments IT infrastructure will be the Workstation Domain. Every Workstation Domain has to be approved on the company network. There will be no personal devices or removable...

...and be mentioned in the acceptable use policy (AUP) to insure users understands the importance of Richman Investments classifications. Documents with the Internal Use Only classification should be handled with care and protected by everybody within Richman Investments. There are many different ways for sensitive information to be leaked but we will be focusing on these three: The User Domain, The Workstation Domain, and the LAN Domain. The User Domain is the weakest link but one of most important and it’s one that everyone has a hand in. When going through the AUP the user must sign and agree to the terms. This will give Richman Investments the leverage to make decision based on the employees conduct. We must insure we hire good trustworthy candidates for the job that will not violate the policies set before them. Word of mouth is another way that information leaks to outside agencies. Users should not be allowed to bring in their own media data without signed approval from the IT department. The users should also be limited access to the sensitive information based on their job descriptions. Workstation Domain is a part of the protection that needs to be kept up to date and mentioned in the AUP. Allowing a computer without the most current updates and patches could be a harmful. New threats have come along and need the newest updates to keep from allowing Viruses, Malware, or Spyware from getting into our Internal Use Only documents. Leaving your desk with...
