...Security Introduction Security introduction is what the first video is about; it tells us what topics the next seven videos will cover. * Local Security Policy * Physical Security * Firewall * Wireless Security * Authentication * Encryption * Viruses Physical Security & Authentication In this video we learn about how to secure your computer and servers theft or tampering. You would do this by locking and controlling access to servers and locking computer cases as well. To protect them even further you should put server locations in high traffic areas, and create administrative alerts with audible alarms. You should also store backup in a separate and secure location, and lock user operating systems. Always physically destroy hard drives. This video also teaches us about CMOS password and how to set them up. We can create limits to the access through CMOS with full, limited, view only, and no access. We also learn about password protecting the hard drive. * Physical Security * Authentication * CMOS Password * Kerberos-Method used to encrypt passwords What I learned from this video is that companies go through great lengths to protect their computers and servers from intrusion. This video was basic and straight forward and not confusing at all, if anything its confusing that we should have to do so much to secure our files. I guess this information would best be used if you working for security...

...need for an infrastructure of information. This is the point where information technology or IT becomes most important, as it is the infrastructure that allows us to get information accurately and in time. Before we define information technology, it is important to understand the notion of Data, Information, Technology, and Knowledge. In everyday conversation, people use the terms data and information interchangeably. However, some computer professional make a distinction between the two terms. Data It is the words, numbers, letters, symbol, sound, video and graphics that describe people, events, things and ideas. It is raw facts about people, objects, and events that have little or no meaning. It is the raw material used to create useful information. It becomes information when you use it as the basis for initiating some action or for making a decision. Information It is defined as the words, numbers, letters, symbol, sound, video and graphics used as the basis for human action or decisions. It is data that have been processed and presented in a form suitable for human interpretation, often with the purpose of revealing trends or patterns that can be used in decision-making. It is data that has been processed by using some sort of intelligence and rule to attach meaning to it 1 Characteristics of information Relevant: Information is relevant if it is needed for a practical situation. It should be correct, complete and useful. Completeness refers to that the information should...

...INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY FOUNDATION 1 Compiled By: RONKY F. DOH (aka: ronky biggy diggy daddy igp) FU DAME TALS OF COMPUTERS We are living in an information age dependent upon digital information. Digital information is electronic information, the result of computer processing. Every type of job relies upon getting information, using it, managing it, and relaying information to others. Computers enable the efficient processing and storage of information. Do not think of a computer merely as the machine with the keyboard and the mouse, although that might be true for some types of computers. Embedded computers may be inside your household appliances, the video cassette recorder, the automobile, planes, trains, power plants, water purification plants, calculators, and even inside a few toys. These embedded computers are very small. They affect our lives each day. Why, even modern traffic lights operate with computers. They are all around us. Think of additional ways in which computers affect our lives each day. Every organization somehow use(s) a computer to run the organization. Some of the places are hospitals, schools, fire department, banks, stores or supermarkets, stock exchange, police department, insurance companies, transport companies, and government agencies etc. What is a computer? A computer is many things to many people, depending on what it is being used for. At one time the computer can be a machine which processes the payroll, then it can be a machine which tabulates...

...how far saying things like “Look” in a stern voice was necessarily going to get him, and time was not on his side. What the hell, he thought, you’re only young once, and threw himself out of the window. That would at least keep the element of surprise on his side. ... In a spirit of scientific inquiry he hurled himself out of the window again. Douglas Adams Mostly Harmless Strangely, the thing that least intrigued me was how they’d managed to get it all done. I suppose I sort of knew. If I’d learned one thing from traveling, it was that the way to get things done was to go ahead and do them. Don’t talk about going to Borneo.
