There would be areas in the buildings that would be serviceable by only security personnel/network personnel and implementing physical controls would be a safe fix for the issue. The full layered system would provide adequate security solutions. There would be many vulnerable company resources and this itself and could lead to attention for attack. 4.Certainly in this example all layers of access control are going to be implemented in this example. I would enhance physical, logical and software controls.
I would change the administrative passwords on all systems routinely, implement a firewall program with remote access control which will not allow, hackers entry to your company’s system. Without passwords being assigned to data and systems, this simply protection becomes a target for hackers. Identity theft occurs in some of the largest companies and often times this security breach is kept quiet. This company has been hacked for customer’s birthdates twice in one month. This means that they are experiencing severe vulnerabilities and they need to take action immediately.
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.

Your job is to develop a risk-management policy that addresses the two security breaches and how to mitigate these

Fraud is defined as “a dishonest act by an employee that results in personal benefit to the employee at a cost to the employer” (Kimmel, Weygandt, & Kieso, 2011). The afore mentioned companies and many others committed fraud when they willingly published false and/or deceptive financial statements making their companies look like they were making huge profits, therefore causing their stock prices to soar and enticing the public to by more and more shares of their companies. Unfortunately, when the truth came out, the fraudulent actions of a few resulted in the loss of almost $5 trillion of stock market value and an undetermined amount for stockholders.
