The most important thing was ensuring that the product names created reflected the type computer that the consumer wanted. For example, the Mercedes group wanted a fast and powerful computer, so PCGlobal decided to name the PC for this group Odyssey to show it was an epic machine to match the demands of the consumer. The consumer demands for the Mercedes group was that the PC be fast and powerful, engineering oriented, ability to link with other computers, looks good, and has service and support. For the Mercedes group, price was not an issue. PCGlobal decided that only a top of the line computer would do for this target group.
Brandon Ward Multi-Layered Security Plan NT2580: Introduction to Information Security 2/22/2014 DeVon Carter One of the most susceptible assets to any company is its email system. Email is a critical communications tool for any business and is also a prime canal for malicious code. Emails, while in transit are in plain text, meaning anyone who has access to the network will be able to read any email sent, received and stored. Implementing a variety of security technologies will assist us in preventing such code from infecting our network. I would implement firewalls, cryptography, antispyware, antivirus, and content filtering.
VPN outfits its privacy by way of channeling and security measures. Channeling is a way that packets from one protocol are enclosed inside another protocol. There are a lot of hackers these days sending viruses, malware, and other bugs. It is important for a company to stay protected so that they don’t lose private information or open viruses that could temporarily shut a company down. Remote-access VPNs allows you to securely access corporate resources like servers, computers, and multipurpose printers.
In this journal, Drew discuss the goals of IT security to protect the use of mobile devices in CPA firms and other businesses. His article outlines cybersecurity threats on the mobile and cloud fronts and lists steps that accounting firms, individuals CPAs, and other can take to reduce their risk of suffering a devastating data breach. Drew discusses how the rate of smartphones and tablets sales increase and how it reached 144.4 million units in the first quarter. With the growth of smartphones and tablet increasing, the risk of malicious software have increased. “One of the biggest risks involves employees or executives downloading personally identifying or confidential client information to their personal smartphones or tablets”.
Communication Proposal and Presentation Sabrina Hunter ENG/135 August 24, 2015 DR. Franklin Communication Proposal and Presentation Firewall System A firewall is a software that stands between your computer and the internet. Having a properly functioning firewall can stop potential threats affecting your computer, but it can also alert you when a problem is occurring as well. Having a firewall can save you and your business from having to spend extra money to get rid of a virus on your computer or becoming a victim by having your computer being a hack. By having a firewall, it stands between your computer and the internet it serves to block unauthorized request passing through your system. The firewall also serves as a packet filter.
Companies such as this are required not only legally, but ethically to protect the customers’ private information or be held accountable by law. It is also bad practice to allow this sensitive information to be disseminated and stolen by cyber criminals. Since this kind of data must be protected at all costs, certain regulations were put in place so that standards for information security could be monitored. One of these standards is that all personal information is to be encrypted when being sent over the internet and also on the servers. This will make it much harder for the hacker to access the information easily.
Ping sweeps and port scans By Brian E Network security has become an important concern for both administrators and users. The corporate networks of today are the lifeblood of the organization. They move and store vast amounts of information and allow for instant access to that information for authorized users. This information is attractive to criminals and most organizations will have to defend against an attacker attempting to gain access to the network. Two methods an attacker may use to get information and gain access to the network are ping sweeps and port scans.
Assignment / Case Study Wk-5: (60 points) You have just been hired as an information security engineer for a large multi-international corporation. Unfortunately your company has suffered from multiple security breaches that have threaten the public's trust that their confidential data and financial assets are private and secured. Credit card information was compromised by an attacker who infiltrated the network through a vulnerable wireless connection within the organization. And the other breach was an inside job, where personal data was stolen because of weak access control policies within the organization which allowed an unauthorized individual access to valuable data. Your job is to develop a risk management policy that addresses the two security breaches and how to mitigate these risks.
This adds new security holes and threats. In this company I would use administrative, hardware and software controls. I would add hardware controls to make this a more complexly layered protection plan specifically for the mobile smartphone communications. As an administrator I would want to make sure the mobile users are communicating to business related material on the business server securely and from company the given smartphones. 3.
Unit 13 I.T. Systems Troubleshooting and Repair Coursework Submission Task one MID WALES STEEL Organisational policies Security: security is a must for a large organisation, and the computers and other technical equipment that have information about the business stored onto that computer. Anti Virus Software: you would have to have anti-virus software on there to be safe. The last thing that you want is someone hacking into the devices and stealing information about your company and knowing your personal information, so having security on those devices is always a must. Individual login Ids and Passwords: every employee should have their own individual login Ids and passwords, to prevent other employees going on other employees work, and looking at their personal information.
