This will make it much harder for the hacker to access the information easily. This is why you should see HTTPS whenever you are dealing with an online transaction. The S in HTTPS stands for secure which is a 256 byte encryption of the transmission. Additional system security requirements are secure user authentication, secure access control, reasonable monitoring to detect unauthorized access, reasonably up-to-date firewall protection, reasonably up-to-date security software (including current patches and virus definitions), and education and training of employees. By following these protocols, the banking industry has the ability and means to protect the customers’ information and
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.
The use of e-mail in today’s workplace is sometimes the most common interaction between co-workers as well as employees and clients. With the use so important to daily work life it is very important to have e-mail secured. Some of the threats that come along with email are, malicious code, Hoax e-mails, and spam e-mail. The power of today’s e-mail clients can also be a bit of their downfall. Malicious code can be executed from an email when received and downloaded to a computer via an e-mail program like Outlook or Thunderbird.
Networked Systems Security Task 1 – THREATS AND IMPACT OF NETWORK THREATS There are many types of threats that can damage your computer either temporarily or permanently. Some threats posed may not threaten your computer right away however have the potential to do so. Some threats that present themselves can include physical threats such as the theft of equipment whether that is the monitor, computer etc. Other threats can be harder to find such as viruses, worms or any kind of malware. Understanding these threats allows the organisation to prevent, protect and correct any damage done to his/her computer to an extent.
Assignment 2 – Understanding Innovation and Change in an Organisation AC1.1 Explain the benefits of innovation and change for the organisation Change and Innovation are as equally important in creating and sustaining the growth of a business through organisational development. If planned and implemented well both could lead to a total change not just for the profit success of the organisation but can also have a positive impact on employee engagement. Innovation in the workplace fostered by teamwork and employee involvement in decision-making and reengineering business processes can boost morale and award incentives such as bonus payments. The purpose of organisational development is to enable an organization to better respond and adapt to industry/market changes and technological advances. The absence of both innovation and change in an organisations development can be the difference between being a leader in their field of business, failure to keep up with competitors, create stagnation or cause decline in their existing success.
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.

Role of Information Policy CMGT/400 February 25, 2013 Role of Information Policy The importance of policies and standards for maintaining information systems and security can be very a touchy subject for many organizations.
