...Week 2 Individual Assignment University of Phoenix – CMGT 430 In order to better serve Riordan Manufacturing’s information security infrastructure, a solid plan must be put in place to ensure that the approach to its implementation is logical, easy to follow, and effective. Many aspects must be considered when formulating an information security policy, including the needs of the company vs. best practice, thus striking a delicate balance between both variables. Therefore Smith Systems Consulting is dedicated to ensuring that a quality service is delivered that will meet these objectives. However, before a more comprehensive plan can be put into place, it is important that Smith Systems Consulting understands exactly how the security plan will be managed, and how to enforce it on the most basic level. It is therefore the opinion of our company to begin by defining a simple, yet utterly crucial part of Riordan’s base information security policy: separation of duties via the practice and implementation of role assignments. Separation of duties, in information technology, is the practice of dividing both IT staff and end users into managed groups, or roles. While users and IT staff, from an administrative level, may fall into several groups (ex., Accounting Department, Maintenance, Security, etc), these groups are not enough to enforce proper security policy. A more comprehensive approach is to define what the base access is for all of these groups, thus the use of roles. Roles...

...Layered Security in Plant Control Environments Ken Miller Senior Consultant Ensuren Corporation KEYWORDS Plant Controls, Layered Security, Access Control, Computing Environment, Examination, Detection, Prevention, Encryption, Compartmentalization ABSTRACT Process control vendors are migrating their plant control technologies to more open network and operating environments such as Unix, Linux, Windows, Ethernet, and the Internet Protocol. Migrating plant controls to open network and operating environments exposes all layers of the computing environment to unauthorized access. Layered security can be used to enhance the level of security for any computing environment. Layered security incorporates multiple security technologies in each computing layer to provide resistance to unauthorized intrusion, while reducing the risk of failure from a single technology. Layered security requires acceptance of a model, development of an access control plan, compartmentalization of the network, and implementation of core security products that address examination, detection, prevention, and encryption. Layered security is considered a “best practice” in any computing environment, and should be widely used in critical control environments. INTRODUCTION Plant control environments have traditionally been built on proprietary technology. This proprietary technology provided a reasonable level of security from unauthorized access due to its “closed” nature, and lack of connection...

...I. Introduction II. Two types of dilutive securities are convertible bonds and convertible preferred stock. A. Convertible bonds can be converted to other corporate securities during some specific time after issuance. B. Convertible preferred stock, includes an option for the holder to convert preferred shares into a certain number of common shares. Unlike convertible bonds, convertible preferred stock is considered equity (unless there is a mandatory redemption feature). Note the example and journal entry on page 799. III. Another type of dilutive security is a stock warrant. A. A stock warrant is a certificate that entitles the holder to acquire shares of stock at a certain price within a stated period. B. Stock warrants may be attached to bonds as incentives to buyers; attachment of warrants enables the issuer to pay a lower interest rate (because the buyer expects to receive value in the future by exercising the warrant, so he/she is willing to accept less interest income). C. Stock warrants may be either detachable or nondetachable from the bond or other financial instrument. D. If the warrant is detachable, at issuance, the value of the warrant is recorded as a credit to “Paid-in Capital—Stock Warrants.” E. If the warrant is not detachable, no separate account is credited at issuance. The credit is to “Bonds Payable” only. F. The relative value of the warrants and the bonds may be established either through the proportional method...

...The Security Plan The name of my target environment is Western Cash Advance. Western Cash Advance is an establishment that issues individuals payday loans. A payday loan is when someone is issued a loan until their next payday and a personal check is used as collateral. There is cash on hand in this business on a daily basis because they only issue cash to their customers as well as except only cash for payments. This store is normally run by two people but on many occasions there is only one employee in the store at a time. The basic floor plan to this business is an office space in a small strip mall that consists of three stores. The size of the store is approximately 900 sq. feet. It is one room that has a sectional desk where customers are assisted and another desk in the back of the room. The lobby consists of one big round table and six chairs that are situated around the lobby. There is a door on the back wall that leads to a hallway. In the hallway there is a bathroom and two storage closets. This business has a very basic open floor plan. When it comes to the current security features it is very limited. When going by the three models in physical security, which is the dynamic D’s, lines of defense, and internal/external threat identification, this business definitely needs some improvement (Clifford, 2004). The only security features that this establishment contains are a security alarm system, one motion detector, and one panic button. The outer perimeter has no...

...McBride Financial Website Security Plan Reggi CMGT/441 April 7, 2014 University of Phoenix McBride Financial Website Security Plan Introduction McBride financial services is upgrading their website to be more interactive with clients. The goal is to create self-serve options for clients though the website and through kiosks located in the offices. McBride wants to reduce the number of employees needed to handle client accounts using this new business plan. The new plan will increase the need for data protection to ensure that customer’s personal data is kept same during all points of the application and loan process. Implementing online loan applications means customer information will be input into web forms and then transferred to the company database. This creates the potential for hackers to steal or corrupt the data and to use it to gain access to other company servers. In order to prevent this from occurring and limiting the damage done in the case of a successful attack McBride must implement a Prevention, Detection, and Recovery plan. Prevention A prevention plan for McBride will be need to include protection for the company servers and protection for client information. The first step in this plan is to establish a demilitarized zone (DMZ) to separate the web server from the company databases and other company servers. The most secure way to implement this is to use two firewalls. The first one will be set to allow necessary traffic to the web server...

...to the security requirements of your information system? From the very earliest stages of planning for the development of the system to its final disposal is the advice of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). By considering security early in the information system development life cycle (SDLC), you may be able to avoid higher costs later on and develop a more secure system from the start. The System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) The system development life cycle starts with the initiation of the system planning process, and continues through system acquisition and development, implementation, operations and maintenance, and ends with disposition of the system. Specific decisions about security must be made in each of these phases to assure that the system is secure. The organization develops its initial definition of the problem that could be solved through automation. Also during this early phase, the organization starts to define the security requirements for the planned system. Management approval of decisions reached is important at this stage. During this initiation phase, the organization establishes the security categorization and conducts a preliminary risk assessment for the planned information system. Categorization of the information system using federal standards and guidelines aids system security planners in defining information system security according to levels of impact, and in selecting a baseline of initial security controls...
