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). Systems and system settings will not be accessible from remote, out of network connections, to protect from outside alterations of systems or system settings, and any Data access will be read only, with safeguards in place to prevent data from being altered or stolen. Further, access to various Systems and Data, etc will be protected by Network Segmentation. We will create security trust zones in order to control and thereby grant access to remote users. This works in conjunction
2.1 Describe the features of manual and electronic information storage systems that help ensure security. Ensure sensitive and private information is kept in secure/locked drawers or cabinets when not in use. Electronic databases should be protected by adequate spy and virus software. Electronic files should be password protected. Information pertaining to individuals should only be shared on a ‘need to know’ basis.
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.
1.5 Where possible the least restrictive interventions should be used as they can sometimes escalate the problem rather than defuse it. Using the least possible restrictive intervention will prevent further harm to any individual involved and will avoid the intervention being deemed as abuse. 1.6 In order to safeguard both the staff member and individual during a restrictive physical intervention, they must only be carried out by a trained member of staff. It must be reasoned that all other measures have been attempted and failed before carrying out restrictive intervention. If at
It also must be approved at the end of the activity to verify if it is done correctly. Security controls are an important part of securing the systems. Without this, access to vital systems can be easy to obtain. Layered security would be sufficient to offer and is a great strength along with consistent monitoring of the system. The weaknesses would rely on the type of encryption used, if any, and any type of weak token encryption.
NAC tools are different from traditional security technologies and practices that focus on file access. While file-level security is useful for protecting data, it does not keep unauthorized users out of the network in the first place. NAC technology, on the other hand, helps businesses lock down their networks against criminals. Network security measures involve three layers: perimeter security (access), authentication, and authorization and consists of questions like who you are, where you are and what do you want (Turban, 2009). Another technology is firewalls.
Every user must maintain the confidentiality of information assets even if technical security mechanisms fail or are absent. Users electing to place information on digital media or storage devices or maintaining a separate database are responsible for ensuring that security, confidentiality, and integrity are maintained in accord with this policy. Users are obligated to report instances of non-compliance (Old Dominion University Technology Policies, Standards, Procedures and Guidelines,
It would be highly suggested that each user to have secure passwords as part of their login details in order to enhance the security of the environment further. The Wireless portion of the network is possibly the greatest area of potential security concern This needs to be secured so that no open network is presented to anyone within range of the Access Point. A combination of disabling the broadcast of the SSID (Wireless Network Name) with WPA-2 Encryption will create the desired level of security. An additional possibility would be to only allow certain devices to connect to the Wireless Network by restricting them in accordance with their MAC (Physical Network) Address. Finally, if we extend security to include the security of the business data then adequate backup mechanisms and redundancy/ resiliency measures need to be in place.
If an emergency situation should arise, it is permissible for staff to use minimum force to prevent serious injury to self or others provided this is for the least amount of time to bring the situation under control. Restrictions may not be used if/when they are not in accordance with a behavioural support plan, the only exception to this is emergency/unexpected situations where restrictions are used to prevent serious injury. Also interventions will not be used to deprive the people we support of their right to dignity, self-respect,
2. Restrictive interventions such as door holds can only be used as a last resort when all other interventions such as de-escalation techniques have failed. Restrictive interventions are used to protect a service user or other persons from harm. Dignity must be upheld at all times during any restrictive intervention. 3.
