By proper end user training for anyone involved with the Corporate Techs site, proper scanning of all USB and thumb drives on a test computer being used for this particular site, can mitigate threats from bugs and viruses. Also, by changing all local computer default autorun policies, will disable usage of these USB ports and stop an occurrence from taking place. Last, it’s almost near impossible for an end user to not use a personal laptop during work hours for personal use or for work. But to mitigate further problems from happening, I will implement an encrypted file system for sensitive data. TrueCrypt is a program that I have found efficient that controls over endpoints that enter and exit the internal system.
Missouri branch is using Norton Anti-Virus corporate edition, Arc Serve Backup Software. Anti-virus will protect and remove viruses, Trojan horses and worms but to block hackers from getting access to the data, a firewall must be implemented. New Jersey Office/Plant. This branch is also not using a firewall. No firewall can be a disaster for Huffman Trucking because it allows hackers to get in and have access to organization’s valuable information.
I also need to dispose of hazardous substances correctly and not mix substances in case of any hazardous fumes or explosions that may occur. I must also never decant chemicals to unlabelled or wrongly labelled containers. To prevent any accidents or incidents happening with hazardous substances I must ensure I follow the data sheets and follow instructions. I must wear the PPE (personal protective equipment) when using substances to avoid cross contamination and accidents. I must also report any defects or ill health that may happen.
In my setting all policies and procedures are kept in the main office and are available to view at all times. It is very important that I am familiar with these policies and follow them at all times. In my setting there is a safeguarding folder and it is my responsibility to read this file and keep up to date with any changes or amendments that may arise. This is important as I need to know what to do when I think there is a safeguarding issue with any child/children. I must follow the confidentiality policy and not discuss any information about children, their families and sensitive information about the setting matters to anyone unless there is an appropriate reason to do so.
All information that is stored electronically should be password incripted and only accessable to staff with the password. All other sensitive information should be kept secure by it up in a secure room such as a staff office or even in a seperate building. 2.3 Describe features of manual and electronic information storage systems that help ensure security. As described above, manual storage systems for information are generally lockable areas such as filling cabinates and lock boxes. Electronic storage systems such as computers and laptops all have the option of having passwords which should be updated and changed monthly to ensure that the information is always secure and not avaialble to anyone accept for current members of staff.
Without such a tool in place an attacker will use the unpatched device or software to gain access and manipulate the network how they please. 2. Secure Configurations for Hardware and Software on Mobile Devices, Laptops, Workstations and Servers – establishing and ensuring that proper security configurations are always in use on your operating system will keep new devices safe from outside attacks. Updating these configurations on a regular basis will also ensure that all devices connected to the system are properly secure and not an open back door for unauthorized entry. Always conduct updates and implementation of configurations on a secure channel to avoid channel sniffing.
Making sure they are properly labelled is very important as unmarked containers could be easily used incorrectly and the improper substance could cause injury to anyone involved. Also making sure that the substances are kept in acceptable conditions is important, for example some medication is required to be chilled, and so keeping them in a secure and locked fridge would be the only way to secure them safely and to keep them working as well as they possibly can. •Using hazardous substances All hazardous substances should be handled with care, this includes reading the on the label before use, never mixing different substances together, as this can cause very noxious gases and damage you or anyone in the vicinity.

Also, if you encounter any difficulties when using a product then it should be reported immediately to the appropriate person and recorded in the accident book if necessary.
Some of the requirements would include strict control enforced via one-time password authentication or public keys with strong pass-phrases. Also, anyone trying to gain access must not be connected to any other network at the same time, aside from personal home networks under the user's complete control. Further, employees with access must not use email accounts other than the company's standards, so that personal use won't be confused with business. Users must have approved virus control and spyware protection in place on all devices accessing the company network. Remote access will be limited in certain areas, while at least Applications will be approved for access (Shared application data is an important part of Richman’s network).
Understanding the BIOS and POST * Why is it necessary to use ROM for the BIOS and not RAM? It is necessary to use ROM for the BIOS because the data in the RAM is cleared when the computer shuts down, but the data in the ROM is always there for the BIOS to use * How do the POST beep codes make troubleshooting a computer start-up problem easier? The computer POST, tests the computer to make sure it meets the necessary system requirements and that all hardware is working properly before starting the remainder of the boot process. If the computer passes the POST, the computer gives a single beep (with some computer BIOS manufacturers it may beep twice) as it starts up and will continue to start normally. However, if the computer fails the POST, the computer will either not beep at all or will generate a beep code, which tells the user the source of the problem.
By explaining the importance of keeping confidential information such as daily recordings or daily activities in a secure place and not to pass on any information to anyone outside of the individual’s direct team. When using the computer you must make sure when you are accessing the individual personal information that you do not leave it on and go and do something else. Make sure you have an active password that is only known to those that need to know. Task B Guidelines Prepare a set of guidelines to remind social care workers of best practice in
