...In computer security, Discretionary Access Control (DAC) is a type of access control in which a user has complete control over all the programs it owns and executes, and also determines the permissions other users have those those files and programs. Because DAC requires permissions to be assigned to those who need access, DAC is commonly called described as a "need-to-know" access model. In computer security, discretionary access control (DAC) is a type of access control defined by the Trusted Computer System Evaluation Criteria[1] "as a means of restricting access to objects based on the identity of subjects and/or groups to which they belong. The controls are discretionary in the sense that a subject with a certain access permission is capable of passing that permission (perhaps indirectly) on to any other subject (unless restrained by mandatory access control)". Discretionary access control is commonly discussed in contrast to mandatory access control (MAC, sometimes termed non-discretionary access control). Occasionally a system as a whole is said to have "discretionary" or "purely discretionary" access control as a way of saying that the system lacks mandatory access control. On the other hand, systems can be said to implement both MAC and DAC simultaneously, where DAC refers to one category of access controls that subjects can transfer among each other, and MAC refers to a second category of access controls that imposes constraints upon the first. In computer security...

...Evaluating Website Credibility Introduction The internet is the primary source individuals use when researching information including, but not limited to, medical information. The goal is to review the credibility of a website using five key criteria which are accuracy, authority, objectivity, currency, and coverage (Colorado Community Colleges Online Library, 2015). For the purpose of the assignment, the website being evaluated by these five criteria is www.midwife.org which was found using the search engine Google that can be located by using the domain google.com. I chose this website because it provides accurate and up to date information in regards to the ever growing and evolving practice of midwifery both in the United States as well as other developed and underdeveloped countries. The full name of the website is the American College of Nurse-Midwives and the URL to locate this site is http://www.midwife.org/. The purpose of the American College of Nurse-Midwives, also known as the ACNM, is to “establish midwifery as the standard of care for women and to lead the profession through education, clinical practice, research, and advocacy.” (American College of Nurse-Midwives, 2015). Evaluation of Website In regards to the five criteria used to evaluate the credibility of websites, the ACNM meets all five of the criteria set forth. “The ACNM gets its national work done through the collaborative effort of its office staff and a vast network of volunteer representatives...

...Selecting an IT/MIS Vendor Checklist and Timeline An Eight Step Model for Selecting the Right Vendor August 2007 Selecting the right IT/MIS vendor is an important part of making technology improvements that meet your needs and will effectively and efficiently support ADRC operations. The experience of ADRC grantees thus far indicates that the process may take several years from the planning stages to having a fully implemented system in place. The chart below outlines the critical steps in the process of building a new IT system to support ADRC operations and was adapted for ADRC grantees from resources available on the ADRC-TAE website (www.adrctae.com), and from the TechSoup Learning Center Website (www.techsoup.org). We are aware that some ADRCs may choose to adapt existing systems and that they may follow some of these steps, but this checklist primarily details steps involved in creating a new system. Step 1 Timeline 3- 6 months Tasks Establish Leadership and Support 1) Identify core IT/MIS work group or team (drawing from key project staff at state and local levels, advisory board members, consumers) 2) Request input from and secure support of key management, grant staff, advisory board, professional front-line users (pilot site staff, partners, and/or consumers), other stakeholders. 3) First steps for your core IT/MIS work group include: a) Diagram key business processes and identify areas in which automation already does support or should support these processes...
