Then next we need to look at what vulnerabilities affect each one and come up with a plan to fix those vulnerabilities and implement that plan. (searchhealthit.techtarget.com) The next step is to look into backup programs and think about how and where we will store those backups. There are many programs available and the way I would work backups is to use a combination of disk-based backup and tape backups. You may be thinking why would we use two and two will be expensive. So, I will explain my reasoning behind this route. The tape backup is not enough on its own. The tape backups are one time backups so if you perform a backup at 10 you have 23 hours before another backup will occur. Should a disaster occur during that 23 hours everything new added after the 10pm backup will be lost.(searchhealthit.techtarget.com) Disk-based backups are continuous backups meaning they are always backing up all the new data. The…

1. Background Salmon IT are currently reviewing the existing backup solution located in the Co-location suite of Level 3 Datacentre in Hayes. The existing backup solution should provide a full back up of the entire estate that was originally implemented over 7 years ago. Due to the increasing growth of data within the infrastructure the backup solution has become unfit to deal with regular backups and is now struggling to successfully complete the daily backup policies within a 24 hour…

According to Hao, 40 per cent of SMEs don’t create backups of the firm’s information; 20 per cent still use CD for this purpose, which can be easily lost or broken and has capacity to store only 0.73 GB; and 30 to 40 per cent use external hard drives, that can store 2 TB, but also can be lost or damaged. On the other hand, large companies often store their core data in integrated backup systems, a higher costly reliable option offered by multinationals IT solution providers that has the highest…

Planning Steps: Identifying Controls for Prevention The third step in the planning process is to identify certain controls that could limit the impact of a disaster on the information systems of an organization. Some of these controls could be identified in the impact analysis. For example, one of the impacts that could have been identified could be linked to the loss of data in the database. A control that could limit this impact would be data backups. The goal of this step is to utilize…

There are many risks in the world. Risk can be defined as the degree of probability of loss. Risk could also be referred to as a threat. In the information technology world there are many threats that are known and can be anticipated. There are measures that can be taken to prepare for certain threats. Hardware failure is a threat that cannot be anticipated. Typically, there is a backup plan in the event hardware that fails but it cannot be predicted. The only thing that can be done is…

This training is important because a vast majority of security breaches are actually originated from within business, and its usually caused by a disgruntled employee. Secondly, the business can ensure that they have some sort of remote backup. Most of the time business are so preoccupied with securing data from malware and/or hackers, that they can sometimes overlook the need to protect that data from other outside threats such as disasters that could cause physical loss of that same data.…

In computer forensic investigation, the first pro-active step is that of acquisition. However, the method used for data acquisition by a forensics investigator plays a major role in influencing the admissibility of electronic evidence to be used in a court or law, or the reliability of any other relevant information required when dealing with computer forensic cases at the organizational level (Dykstra & Sherman, 2012). Different data acquisition techniques allow for the recovery of electronic…
