made up of the people who can access the information with an AUP. This domain is considered one of the weakest and most affected for several reasons, but mostly the lack of user awareness. The second is the workstation domain. This domailn is made up of the devices that employees use to connect to the IT infrastructure. This domain requires a strong security and controls because this is where users first access the system. If you can have unauthorized user access situation; make sure you have

being virtually impossible to recover at a total loss. We can use the method “backup and recovery” for to substantially reduce the impact of this disaster threat. Cloud technology can be deployed which would create a remote cold site that would allow access to critical system information with limited physical resources if necessary. When considering logical vulnerabilities and threats, the following is to be considered. Unauthorized modification of the database is a major threat issue or concern

network weaknesses out way the network strengths. The larger of the weaknesses is that IDI has no secondary locations in the event of a large scale disaster. Second to that is the lack of security implementations at some of the sites, i.e., Remote access to the Warsaw office runs through a completely unsecure channel and the blatant disregard for adherence to network security policies at the home office. Further evaluations of some of IDI sites have led us to come up with a fairly comprehensive plan

users had access to the EHR application. • Undocumented account was created/added to a new system. • Method or Vulnerability to gain privilege escalation outside of change control policy. This led me to propose three policies, each address some of these key issues from separate fronts. The three policies include a Remote Access Policy, Application Deployment, and a Routine Maintenance policy. The Remote Access policy aims to correct the issue that non-authorized users were able to access the EHR

today, I was instructed to create a general purpose outline for our company’s multi-layered security plan. There are seven (7) domains in a typical IT infrastructure: User Domain, Workstation Domain, LAN Domain, LAN-to-WAN Domain, WAN Domain, Remote Access Domain, and System/Application Domain. Each domain has their own unique risks, threats, and vulnerabilities that need to be mitigated in order to ensure our company’s security. In the User Domain the first thing that should be done is create an

sensitive data and valuable assets are protected. An organization should take a hard look at who has access to sensitive data and if those accesses are required. The security audit should monitor the companies systems and users to detect illicit activity.The security audit should include searches for security events and the abuse of user privileges, along with a review of directory permissions, payroll controls, accounting system configurations, ensure backup software is configured, and backups are completed

OVERVIEW This report is to layout how and why Riordan Manufacturing can benefit from role based access control system merged with a separation of duties control system. This new system will be more streamlined once implemented. The system will also provide better security and a much smoother means of checks and balances. The added security and control will not only serve to increase productivity but it will also decrease loss and waste. ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT This report will start with the
