Attackers are always looking for devices and software that are newly added to a system and not updated correctly with the security measures in place already. This is the door they look for to get in. A method to avoid such opportunities is to deploy an automated asset inventory discovery tool and use it to build a preliminary asset inventory of systems connected to an organization's public and private network. This will help make the system capable of identifying any new unauthorized devices that are connected to the network within 24 hours, and of alerting or sending e-mail notification to a list of enterprise administrative personnel. 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.
This means that they are experiencing severe vulnerabilities and they need to take action immediately. When customers start hearing that the companies they deal with have had security breaches in their computer systems data, they panic and most tend to, discontinue associating with that particular company. This company needs to look at for the future, for data loss prevention to be effective, the company must decide on the right strategy, employ the right people, target the right data and purchase the right technology. With these accommodations this should reduce the likelihood and cost of future data, breaches and or violating compliance, rules and laws and or regulations. This will also allow the company to have control over how and what data is being exported and what employees or students are online and how this data is used throughout this company.
Internal attacks can be more difficult to find as attackers have the potential to remove any evidence of the attack more easily as they have more knowledge or access rights on the system as opposed to an outside attack. Attacks can be administrated via removable devices such as a USB that could contain some form of malware on it such as a virus. Most internal attacks are conducted by unhappy employees who want to disrupt the organisation by using the knowledge they obtained in the organisation, against the organisation. Additionally, the employee may want to gain access to important data in order to infiltrate and sell the information onto another competing organisation. The
Unfortunately, your company has suffered multiple security breaches that have threatened customers’ trust in the fact that their confidential data and financial assets are private and secured. Credit-card information was compromised by an attack that infiltrated the network through a vulnerable wireless connection within the organization. The other breach was an inside job where personal data was stolen because of weak access-control policies within the organization that 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
In the end, I had an employee who had violated the NDA, Aaron Web, and another employee who had broken the law for tdhe company, Jamal Moore. * The first step taken in the case was to figure out what the problem really was and what issue applied to the problem. My decision on this was, “Whether you should use the information obtained by Jamal Moore to discipline Aaron Webb for violating the NDA.” Personally, I was worried that if I knowingly used the illegally-gathered information from Jamal against Aaron, would be unethical and pose a possible legitimate for Aaron against the company. * The second step was to identify the stakeholders. It
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.
For this part we will be examining the security features needed in each section of the new system, the data, interface, processes, and network, and finally will end with a diagram of the data flow throughout the system. One of the most important factors in any system is the security of that system. If a system was unsecure, than that system is vulnerable to malicious attack and malware of all types. For a company, this can mean a theft of important data and even worse, a loss of revenue from trying to secure the system and from possible lawsuits. Because of the way that each part of the system functions, each part will have its’ own “type” of security, which will come together to ensure almost absolute system security.
Each m-coupon has a unique ID which is used by the system to verify the coupon. However there is always a risk that the ID can be fabricated, m-coupons can always be fabricated and spammed to customers which may damage the marketing campaign and image of the business. For the strategy to be effective, sufficient protocols should be deployed to ensure protection from fabrication of m-coupons and their spamming. Business should create m-coupons for specified short time periods only. Further coupons should be sent to the customers on their request from a designated number or system to help customers differentiate between fabricated and spam coupons from the
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
“One of the biggest risks involves employees or executives downloading personally identifying or confidential client information to their personal smartphones or tablets”. If one of those devices was lost or stolen, critical data can be compromised if it falls in the wrong
