...Time Monitoring Reflection Kim Nguyen Grand Canyon University: UNV-501-TEM 105 July 2, 2014 Time Monitoring Reflection Monitoring ones own time is a challenging task if her day is extremely busy. Reflecting on Kim’s time monitoring sheet, it seems she need to adjust her work, learning and coursework time. She can do her daily activities more efficiently if she creates a deadline for her assignments. Keeping a consolidated schedule would benefit work efficiency. Having work and school time tied together can prevent her from completing her schoolwork early. Also, shifting her Facebook or movies break before bedtime would give her more times during the day to complete other work related tasks. Time wasted tasks Kim spends a large amount of time engaging herself on Facebook, watching movies, and at the gym. Facebook and watching movies would not help her academic growth because it is a social network that causes her to be distracted and lacks attention span. Hence, if she continues to engage herself on Facebook for so long she can reduce her academic writing skills. Similar to watching movies, she does not watch academic developmentally appropriate movies; therefore it does not foster her academic growth. Even in her Head Start job site, the children are only allowed to have a limited amount of time watching videos because their academic performances may be affected. As important, exercising at the gym. Although exercising can really be beneficial for her health she...

...case are simple little issues such as emailing customer credit card numbers and such but I would have definitely have seen these issues but the lapse of these company have cost them security wise. The best way for organizations to strike the right balance between monitoring and invading their employees' privacy would be to evaluate each employees based on their activities. Have each employee make a report of their activities while the company is monitoring them as well the companies should put trust in their employees to report everything they're doing and when it is time to evaluate them cross compare what has been monitored and what the employees have reported. The consequence biased to one side would be if the company were to engage in just invading employee privacy there could be massive repercussions such as the company being sued etc. The other components are people security, establishing ethical behavior in the company, and managers taking the initiative to stop any leakage in the company. The human factor in is the stronger point in this situation its not the technology that's leaking information but the people the technology is just a tool to do so. The same goes for when it comes to monitoring and making sure that information is not leaked from the its the people who have to monitor to make sure that...

...A call center managers can use the statistical report to measure the efficiency and effectiveness of an employee in the areas of response time and service level, number of calls per employee, first call resolution, and transfer rate. By using the statistical report, it will help show the relationship between their performance and the organization standards or goals and it is easier to visualize. It can also be utilized by the managers to take necessary corrective actions if needed. The response time and service level can be measured by the monitoring how many calls are answered within how many seconds and total number of calls in a day is being answered. It is important to monitor the total amount of calls but we must consider the number of calls an employee is answering and should be reported to ensure that individual employee is properly assessed. This will also show if the employees are answering them promptly and not just a handful is answering the calls. The first call resolution (FCR) measures the individuals’ ability to accomplish the task in one transaction and not transfer the call. Transfer rate indicates how many calls have been transferred to another party to be handled. Monitoring the number of calls being transferred can identify if there are any performance gaps and training if needed (Reynolds 2012).

To assist Riordan become more efficient, they will need to implement a central system to monitor both individual and overlapping system usage. They should create a Data Center in the corporate office that monitors all of the current systems in place. This will allow Riordan Manufacturing to understand how their business is functioning and how application are used more often and which are not utilized enough, helping to determine if they should upgrade or discontinue the use of a system. Each department uses different applications; some of the applications interface with one another and other are stand alone. Riordan also currently has a lot of manual processes, for example how they submit daily inventory records.

...Elias N. Khan Prof. Session CRJ 115 7 December 2015 Packet Sniffers: A Bittersweet Software Packet sniffing software is a controversial subject and a double-edged sword. It can be used to analyze network problems and detect Internet misuse. But at the same time, it allows hackers and people with malicious intention to "sniff" out your password, get your personal information, and invade your privacy. That is also why securing and encrypting data is so important. In this paper, the definition of packet sniffing will be introduced and several functionality and possible uses of packet sniffers will be explained. Also, information on how to protect against sniffers and man-in-the-middle attacks will be provided. An example of a packet sniffer program, Wireshark, will be given, followed by a case study involving the restaurant chain Dave & Buster's, which will show the negative consequences that can occur when organizations are not aware of the threat of packet sniffing by hackers. A packet sniffer is "a computer program or a piece of computer hardware that can intercept and log traffic passing over a digital network or part of a network" (Connolly, 2003). Packet sniffers are known by alternate names including network analyzer, protocol analyzer or sniffer, or for particular types of networks, an Ethernet sniffer or wireless sniffer (Connolly, 2003). As binary data travels through a network, the packet sniffer captures the data and provides the user an idea of what is happening...

...IS4670 Unit 7 Assignment 1: Overcome Difficulties of Network Monitoring One of the initial ideologies behind most organizations' network security practices is still "defense in depth," which is performed using a variety of security controls and monitoring at different locations in an organization's networks and systems. As part of a defense-in-depth scheme, it has become commonplace for organizations to build enterprise security operations centers that bank on in part on monitoring the tremendously large volumes of network traffic at the perimeter of their. There has been a recent style toward increased investment in and reliance on network monitoring in order to streamline sensor deployments, decrease cost, and more easily centralize operations. At the same time, the idea of a well-defined defensible perimeter is being challenged by cloud computing, the insider threat, the so-called advanced persistent threat problem, and the popularity of socially-engineered application-level attacks over network-based attacks. Commonly, network and security practitioners hear that the start of any network-centric project is to baseline the network. What exactly is this supposed to mean? Simplistic approaches concentrate on bandwidth utilization over time, typically focusing on spikes and troughs. Some try to describe traffic in terms of protocols and port numbers. More advanced approaches try to classify traffic according to flows or even content. Regardless, there is no single accepted...

...Network Security Policy Practices Every company or corporation with a computer network that has valuable assets stored has a well planned network security policy in place. A network security policy is defined as a manuscript that defines the regulations for computer network admission identifies policies and how they are enforced, and gives a basic layout of proper security procedures. Without a policy to prepare, prevent and respond to security breaches, reliability of the network could be compromised. Basic beginning steps to implementing a security policy, or preparing, include accessing the jeopardy to the network and creating a response panel. Next we look at the continuation, or prevention, of the network which consists of monitoring the network for violations and a security change management practice for when the policy needs to be updated. The final step for the policy is the review process which goes over past events and incidents, and implementing modifications to the existing policy to adapt these breaches. Each of these steps is essential to the integrity and continuation of a secure network and must be subject to constant observation and change. New types of viruses and attacks are dreamed up on a daily basis, and we need to be prepared to prevent and respond as quickly as possible in order to provide network availability to company employees and needs. Preparation is the groundwork in handling the security measures for a security policy and provides a...
