Securing the data center room from unauthorized access. Physical security to the data room can be broken down into three main parts: Mechanical, which covers, locks, access entry systems, security cameras and intrusion alarm system; Operational, which includes security staff and procedures for assigning access to the data room; Finally, natural which covers basic security philosophies including property definition and access control (Maurer, 2002). A thorough review of the physical building layout will need to be conducted to identify all possible entry points into the data room. It is recommended that security cameras with 24x7 recording be installed at all entry points to the data room. In addition, all the entry doors with access to the data room will need dual factor electronic access systems install. An example would be prox card entry with security pin to unlock the doors. Along with electronic security access into the data room, a security staff will need to be formed that will be responsible for monitoring the data room and manage assigning access into the data room.
Internal Server and Desktop Security Policies A risk assessment will need to be conducted in order to identify all locations where sensitive and classified information is

A firewall system will need to be deployed that will block all outside networks to the internal company network. Primary purpose of a firewall is to block outside cyber criminals from being able to scan for network vulnerabilities (Keist, 2015). In order to be more proactive in defending against external threats, an intrusion detection system (IDS) is recommended along with the company firewall. An IDS provides live monitoring of all network activity and can generate alarms on any suspicious activities, providing administrators more time to respond to active attacks on the network (Boyle & Panko,
The security controls, policies, procedures, and guidelines were tested using the security testing plan that was evaluated by a security team to correct and report flaws in the system design. The only major flaw doesn’t relate to the network or the physical system itself, but instead policies and procedures seem to be at the highest risk. Policies and procedures explain that the chain of custody during media transportation and disposal should be logged and tracked impeccably. I believe putting stronger controls in place for the transportation of media would lower the risk of exposed confidentiality tremendously. I believe each device used to transport should be trackable at any given time, rather than just by logs.
All data that is transmitted over a network is open to being monitored. One way to create a more secure environment would be to restrict file permissions. It is usually recommended that file permissions are set so that only necessary access is granted. Another way to create a more secure environment would be to use secure passwords to verify the user’s identity. Password security is very important when it comes to protecting not only the network, but the user and workstation.
Hi all I would like to let all of you know, that all the IT request that you had have been taking care of, I have performed the hardware maintenance to the network and computers and everything should be ok. also, I have been working on meeting the HIPPA compliance for our network and there are some initial points I have been working on 1. I have set up the computer to lock the screens after 5 minutes time of inactivity, this will ensure that computer session are closed when the user is away (is still a good idea to lock the computer every time is not in use) 2. the server room need to have a server shelf or server rack that will keep the It equipment out of the floor.
With widespread use of internet services, the network scale is expanding on daily basis and as the network scale increases so will the scale of security threats which can be applied to system connected to the network. Viruses and Intrusions are amongst most common threats that affects computer systems. Virus attacks can be controlled by proper antivirus installation and by keeping the antivirus up to date. Whereas any unauthorized access in the computer system by an intruder can be termed as Intrusion and controlled by IDS. Intruders can be grouped into two major categories which are external and internal Intruders.
Marques Underwood INSS 391 Security and the Future With the transition of companies leaning towards advancing through the usage of big data, cybersecurity and the trends in technology are creating an increase in threats. The goal is to protect the databases and devices used at these companies before they are hacked and compromised for unwanted reasons. We’ll see the general concerns with security in the IT field, and steps that specific companies are taking to prevent and adopt to the landscape of the future in security. Devices are increasing at a rapid pace these days, meaning the more data is being expanding.
Another rule that stems from HIPAA is the Security Rule. The Security Rule deals with the electronic protected health information, or the ePHI. Health care facilities must have three types of safeguards when using these electronic records. These three types include physical, technical, and administrative. Physical safeguards are rules that provide a safe environment to store medical records.
Reporting analysis to those interested and providing market and vendor analysis will also be addressed. Information Security and Privacy in Healthcare Environments (IS555) This course deals with physical and technical secure storage of information, processing, and retrieving the information, and the distinct regulations to the healthcare
Security Mechanisms and Protection for the DMS DMS needs a top notch security mechanism in an effort to protect itself from not only the users accessing its system online, but also from its employees. Even though the current DMS network was up and running, and deemed safe and steady, the system was very sluggish and the interface was not very user-friendly. The system is equipped with a firewall in order to stop unauthorized entries by assessing and checking the inbound and outbound data network exchanges. DMS plans on starting an e-commerce, which will involve taking an extra effort with the security since it also includes authenticating users to confirm they are authorized to make any purchases. The security devices that are required are identified as Virtual private networks and IP security.
Unsafe work practice that can affect the well-being of individuals include: Rough handling, for example pushing, pulling, dragging. Unsafe administration of medication, for example, failure to check dosage. Ignoring health needs and social needs such as clean clothing and personal hygiene. Visible injuries or marks of abuse on body and complaints not taken seriously can put them at more danger, harm and risk of abuse. I will ensure that I keep to all the procedures for checking for abuse and the wellbeing of the individuals that I work with; by following these and the individual’s care plan I keep within the minimum standards of care and also work in a person centred way to make sure all individuals are happy and safe.
This includes the installation of external and outdoor walls and surveillance cameras to track the movement of individuals in and out the facility. The use of door and cabinet locks is recommended. Other facilities have also used card access procedures to ensure that only those holding authorized cards can enter and exit the different rooms in the center. The cards are for the same doors and the facility has ensured that there is a main door, through which the personnel will use to get to the equipment room. In addition to this, the security of the IT equipment should be reinforced.
HEALTH AND SAFETY IN THE WORKPLACE TASK 1.1: A few acts that would be applicable to an Engineering company that performs Sheet Metal Work and Fabrication and Welding could be: - Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 - Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992 - Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 This Act was made to secure the health, safety and welfare of people at work. It was also made to protect people other than people at work against the risk to health or safety from or in connection to what people do at work. The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 was also used to control the use of explosive or flammable or otherwise dangerous substances and prevent having or acquiring
The significance of defending businesses from cyber-attacks has grown drastically over the last few years. Even if they are innovative new startups or centuries old multi-billion-dollar corporations they are prone to cyber-attacks. Even recently a ransonware called WannaCry targeted and got money from many major corporations in the worldwide. Also, many companies get attacked often and get much of their private user information leaked on the web that can cause the company many lawsuits, investigations, and negative publicity.
Best practices to secure healthcare data: 1. Provide a security culture: In order to establish an organization’s security culture, staff members must have appropriate education, frequent training, and advice on choosing secure passwords. Moreover, taking responsibility for information security and privacy should be one of the highest priorities in achieving an organization’s goals.
From the first e-Activity, analyze the industry researched for each security model would be most applicable, and explain why you believe that to be the case. Identify the security models from your findings. Information is priceless in the modern world of business, and it’s interesting to note that different security models are suitable for particular industries. Information security models often restrict access to stored information by unauthorized person to reduce disclosure, modification, disruption, destruction use, perusal, and inspection of crucial information. Role-based access control security model is more suitable for a highly specialized industry like the electronic equipment industry since it allows a business to exploit role mining to realize high-quality roles in the current access permissions.
