...Monitoring Employees on Networks CheckPoint 1 Monitoring Employees on Networks CheckPoint Kimberly Daugherty IT/ 205 August 17, 2012. Cristina Oliver 2 Email usage in an organization enables messages to be sent from computer to computer. E-mail allows a person to share files and documents with another person through a computer. An e-mail can be written and sent at any time and from anywhere. Organizations sometimes limit their employees from using e-mail during working time. An organization may fear that an employee will send confidential information, offensive material, or perform an illegal activity by e-mail and to stop these kind of actions the company will ban all employees from sending e-mails from company computers. When such e-mails are sent from an organization the results could mean bad publicity or lawsuits...

It has effectively decrease the layers of management because everyone in a company can email the company president with ideas, suggestions or comments. In DISA for example, our boss has what we like to call “an open door policy” which can be utilized to provide feedback to the boss directly.

Protecting Cyber Assets: Secure Interactive Remote Access Concepts 7 2. How Employee Accesses the Corporate Network 9 3. How external Partners (Vendor) Access the Corporate Network 9 V. Conclusion 13 I. Introduction Access control mechanisms operate at a number of levels in a system, from applications down through the operating system to the hardware. Higher-level mechanisms can be more expressive, but also tend to be more vulnerable to attack, for a variety of reasons ranging from intrinsic complexity to implementer skill levels. Most attacks involve the opportunistic exploitation of bugs; and software that is very large, very widely used, or both (as with operating systems) is particularly likely to have security bugs found and publicized. Operating systems are also vulnerable to environmental changes that undermine the assumptions used in their design. The main function of access control in computer operating systems is to limit the damage that can be done by particular groups, users, and programs whether through error or malice. This project will be conducted in two main checkpoints: * Phase I: The first step in this project is to analyze risk and develop a mitigation plan to identify which assets are more critical. Determining what systems rely on each other...

...operational process are the obligation of TSA. The Federal Security Director (FSD) is the designated TSA official that approves the required Airport Security Program (ASP) document, the document identifies how the airport will meet security requirements. The FSD and local FAA Airports Division officials should be consulted during all phases of the project. Airport operators must integrate a Safety Management System process into their overall plan in accordance with FAA rules. Airports must establish hazard reporting systems, a risk assessment process, and a risk mitigation and assurance process with the participation of airport management. The best way to implement security in a facility is through advance planning and continuous monitoring throughout the project. Selecting, constructing, or modifying a facility without considering security for the general public, the facility, passengers, and airport and air carrier personnel can result in costly modifications. All physical security upgrades should be based on applicable Federal, State, and local laws, regulations, and policies to ensure the protection of all persons and assets (including information systems and data). At a minimum,a physical security approach should include: 1. A vulnerability assessment, including a check of regulatory compliance (refer to Appendix A) to evaluate the existing security at an operational airport or a comprehensive security plan evaluating the potential vulnerabilities at a new facility...

...Communication to Manage Crisis HCS/320 Communication to Manage Crisis Those who work in hospitals have to face crisis. It may happen in the emergency room or even in the manager’s office. Hospital employees need to be ready for such events. Coombs 1999 states that no organization can guarantee that they will not have any crisis. According to Reynolds 2006, crisis may occur internally or externally for the organization but when it occurs people’s lives may be at stake and at the same time the reputation of the company may get jeopardized. During crisis communication as well as improper communication can play a great role. For lack of communication right things may not be done and crisis may occur. Even a rumor may spread and crisis may happen. Communication methods to be adopted during a crisis have been talked about a lot but defining crisis is not so easy. According to Heath 2006, before defining the crisis, the risks need to be identified. According to him a risk may have both negative and positive influences of different levels. If anything happens to people, communication with them can tell us a lot and it can be understood whether crisis can be overcome. Whether reputation can be left intact needs to be understood.

...their employees are doing a good job, but employees don't want their every sneeze or trip to the water cooler logged. That's the essential conflict of workplace monitoring. New technologies make it possible for employers to monitor many aspects of their employees' jobs, especially on telephones, computer terminals, through electronic and voice mail, and when employees are using the Internet. Such monitoring is virtually unregulated. Therefore, unless company policy specifically states otherwise (and even this is not assured), your employer may listen, watch and read most of your workplace communications. One company offers technology that claims to provide insight into individual employee behavior based on the trail of "digital footprints" created each day in the workplace. This behavioral modeling technology can piece together all of these electronic records to provide behavior patterns that employers may utilize to evaluate employee performance and conduct. For example, it might look for word patterns, changes in language or style, and communication patterns between individuals. Recent surveys have found that a majority of employers monitor their employees. They are motivated by concern over litigation and the increasing role that electronic evidence plays in lawsuits and government agency investigations (Ross, 1988) (Trochim, 2009). A 2007 survey by the American Management Association and the e-Policy Institute found that two-thirds of employers monitor their employees' web...
