Computer security

With physical controls you need to understand that this is a computer that is accessed right there on site and since this is a pharmacy it is going to be one of the three computers that are available at any of the three windows for anyone to use. There needs to be a username to log in with a password that has its own requirements attached to it. Also, with a computer onsite and physical access if no one is using the computer it needs to automatically lock itself within 10-15 minutes unless it…

Western Governors University A. Security Faults Describe three of the security faults in this scenario that caused a security breach. 1. Some accounts existed before the electronic health record(EHR) was deployed. Important steps were missed during the import of old accounts. I suggest using a clean base line for the brand new EHR system. Users should not be able to have administrator rights without a manager innerving. The security risk that is being violated is called least privilege. This…

offer protection to the user, but some operating systems are more vulnerable than others. Mobile devices may automatically provide the user with different security systems than the desktop can offer. Either way, these security systems are designed to stop cyber-attacks. These threats can come in many forms, users can get viruses on their computer or an actual person can hack into the user’s account. A user who wants the best protection will need to keep the choice of operating system in mind.…

On December 2014, Anthem’s databased was compromised by someone that used their credentials to run a query. The breach was not discovered until January 2015. Anthem Inc. security breach was made public in February 2015, and affected at least 80 millions of people. Anthem was at the moment the second-largest health insurance company in the nation. Their president and CEO, Joseph Swedish said to the media: “Anthem was the target of a very sophisticated external cyber-attack. These attackers…

You can respond to a security incident in a number of different ways. Your options include countermeasures designed to block intrusions to packet-filtering rules and proxy servers to block intrusions that have been detected by an Intrusion Detection System (IDS); and alterations to security policies to cover new vulnerabilities as they are detected. By developing a Security Incident Response Team (SIRT), your organization has the flexibility to implement any or all of these response options.…

detection and prevention Early detection and monitoring of intrusions can prevent possible attacks or minimise their impact on computer systems. This policy is designed both to protect the confidentiality of any data that may be stored on the mobile computer and to protect the organizational network from being infected by any hostile software when the mobile computer returns. This policy also considers wireless access, every host on the organizational network and the entire data network…

hacktivism is not morally good , I think non-malicious hacktivism is morally permissible. I will attack Kenneth's third premise that the acts of hacktivism negatively affects the third party by arguing the rising awareness of political issues and enhance security, those the positive effects with good motivations by hacktivists. I will argue the short of justified rights to punish hacktivists to explain that Kenneth is incorrect that hacktivists intentionally avoid taking their responsibilities…

December 2014 The Vulnerability of the Internet and Technology There’s no doubt that security has advanced immensely since the introduction of computers, and the internet has been around, but has the security been able to keep up with how we handle computers now? We read occasionally how huge websites or companies have been hacked into and it seems that many people have found the trick around what we call ‘decent’ security. If those big names are so easily hacked into, what did they do wrong?…

health records online, anything is possible in regards to security breaches. Sometimes they can be avoided. Other times hackers are able to crack codes in encrypted data. When this happens, the clinic or hospital is held responsible for patients’ confidential information such as social security numbers and credit cards becoming accessible by an unauthorized third party. In July 2010, the Attorney General’s office was informed of a security breach involving at least 800,000 patients at South…

crimes target was already aware of the threats that happen so they installed $1.6 million malware detection tool Fireeye. They also had a team of security specialists in Bangalore and Minneapolis who monitor its computers around the clock. Fire eye did its job and notified them on multiple occasions about the incident that’s going to happen; unfortunately security team appears to have made wrong call. "Based on their interpretation and evaluation of that activity, the team determined that it did…
