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.
Which of the following account lockout policy modifications could you make to ensure that user passwords cannot be intercepted by analyzing captured packets? (D) Disable the Store Passwords Using Reversible Encryption policy 2. Which of the following mechanisms is most often used in firewall rules to allow traffic on to the network? (D) Port numbers 3. Which of the following NTFS features is incompatible with EFS encryption?
Other types of risks that BUGusa, Inc. can potentially face without property protection and poor management are: loss in customer trust, penalties for law violations, compliance risk, availability risk, access risk, and more.

RAID 1 –Mirrored set- Creates an exact copy of data on two or more disks c. RAID 5 –Striped set- Parity uses blocked level striping with parity data distributed across all disks in the RAID array. d. RAID 6 –Blocked striped-uses dual parity, crates 2 parity blocks for each data block, handles two disk failures. 4. Why is RAID 0 of any use if it offers no redundancy? RAID 0 gives more storage capacity in that data is spread across multiple.
The damage could be from internal or external. An employee could unintentional give out company information just because they are not trained as to how to handle some sensitive information. There are also the intentional internal threats that result from employees taking advantage of security flaws. There are also the skilled external criminals who aim at destroying or stealing data. With information system security, you are assured of quality measures to prevent all these kinds of situations by identifying
Malicious code can be executed from an email when received and downloaded to a computer via an e-mail program like Outlook or Thunderbird. Hence it is a good idea to have these types of auto run turned off in order to lessen the chance of running this malicious code. Along with this we should also look at attachments that come with said emails these attachments are also a place where an attacker will try to hide this malicious code so that when the attachment is open the code runs and infects the system or runs the commands that the attacker wants run on the infected host. In the same root as malicious code a hoax email will be sent by an attack in hopes that the user on the receiving end will follow the commands given in the email. For example a user may receive an email stating that their user account will be locked unless they verify the username and password in a reply email.
This caused much controversy as Americans would classify him as a traitor or hero for what he did. Americans called him a hero because they feel like they should have some type of privacy and security when it comes to their private documents and what they do over the internet as well as in their free time. Other Americans feel like he is a traitor because he revealed documents that were classified and did not have permission from the National Security Agency to leak them to the public. I classify Edward Snowden as a hero. The National Security Agency (abbreviated NSA) is the creator and manager of the signals intelligence agency of the United States of America who’s responsibility it is to check and analyze all foreign communications.
This threat is suspected due to the existing vulnerabilities that allow the unauthorized access of sensitive information across the existing network design. To thwart this effort and further secure Lafleur’s sensitive information the implementation of Access Control’s should occur. Access controls are used to authorize or limit object access to users, groups, and systems on the network or connected systems. Access control list consist of many areas that maintain a relationship with each other to provide an overall secure environment. The relationships that must be considered are: • Objects – This can be files, printers, computers, and other resources.
doesn’t have many things to go against it. One safe way to stop terrorism is the Visa Security Program. The Visa Security Program interdicts criminals, terrorists and others who would exploit the legal visa process to enter the United States. The program serves as the agency’s frontline in protecting the United States against terrorist and criminal organizations. While many security measures focus on screening names against lists of known terrorist or criminal suspects, the program relies on HSI special agents to identify potential terrorist or criminal suspects and stops them before they can reach the U.S. Another way to stop terrorism are scanners.
This is done to prevent a terrorist from using a student status as a cover-up to allow admittance to this country with the intention to commit acts of terrorism. There are many different surveillance methods that the government uses to spy on terrorist suspects, including email, financial records, and store receipts. But, one of the most common methods of surveillance that the government uses is roving wiretaps. This is tapping into phone calls. “The government says roving wiretaps are needed to deal with technologically sophisticated terrorists.” (Abramson & Godoy) But, one of the negatives of wiretapping is that the government might make an excuse for using it to monitor terrorism with the real intention to spy on foreign
