Discuss security standards and methods, including the need for data storage integrity and data backup and recovery. In addition to complying with Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA), SMC needs to be valiant in how the organization will protect information and manage network security. Information security is the protection of information against risk to its integrity, inadvertent disclosure, or availability (Hawkins, 2013a). The most common threats an organization's network will face are hackers, spyware, viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and malicious insider (Hawkins, 2013a). To protect SMC from hackers, they will use firewalls and intrusion-detection devices. Firewalls protect network systems by obstructing unauthorized entry while allowing approved communications (Hawkins, 2013a). Intrusion-detection systems monitor who the user is and what the user accesses. To promote HIPPA, SMC will track the last names of users who accessed patients with the same last name to reveal inappropriate use of client information. …show more content…
To reduce malicious code, SMC will restrict staff from certain networking sites (Hawkins, 2013a). Additionally, SMC will govern policies that discourage downloading files from the Internet and using personal computer information. Another serious threat is the malicious insider. This can be a disgruntled employee or a recently fired employee who still has access to the network system. Prompt removal of privileges is necessary to avoid issues created by terminated malicious insiders. Separation of privileges is a common security tool that helps decrease vulnerability. If one person can alter pay rate and hours worked, another person must review and approve a report before the changes take
a) State in your own words what memory span is (based on the information provided in the textbook (page 125), and in your Lab. b) Based on the results you obtained in the experiment: Compare your memory span for digits, letters, and words. (10 points)
Critical Security Control 1 was implemented to actively manage all hardware devices on the network so that only authorized devices are given access, and unauthorized and unmanaged devices are found and prevented from gaining access. This is critical because attackers, who can be located anywhere in the world, are continuously scanning and monitoring the address space of target organizations. They do this for the main purpose of waiting for new or unprotected systems to be attached to the network. A main focus is looking for devices (especially laptops) that come and go off of the enterprise’s network. These devices are vulnerable because they can commonly get out of sync with patches or
Cornelius, I agree that OSHA is a need for medical facilities. They made the laws for a reason, and they have proven time and time again that the laws and requirements are needed. The safety training it provides for employees can even benefit them when they are not in the office. They will know what is right and wrong, and they would probably stick by that to prevent their families and close friends from getting sick.
Busy waiting is a technique in which a process repeatedly checks to see if a condition is true without getting the processor time. While a process is in its critical section, any other process that tries to enter its critical section must loop continuously to get the critical section. This will make the process eat CPU (usually). That is just busy for waiting the processor time.
I have learned many things in this class, things I never thought I were important. For example, the types of networks, I had never heard of MANs before. I knew what a LANs and WANs were but not the MANs. I now know MANs (Metropolitan Area Networks are large scale LANs. Another, thing gleaned from this class is Peer-to-Peer and Client/Server Networks. I found out that Peer to Peer networks are decentralized communication models where each station has the same ability to perform and any station can start a communication session. In the P2P network model each node functions as both a client and server. Whereas, a Client/Server Network is a program relationship where one program is the client and requests a service or resource from another program
The high level requirements for the network are to: measure and record sensor data and process data to actuate the environment. Given these requirements, this section will discuss how these requirements were met as well as provide some system metrics.
1.13)Ans.Mainframe or Minicomputer: The resources which has to be managed carefully are memory and CPU resources and the network bandwidth,
A: Depends on your needs, max setup time is 7 working days and average 5 days. Please be patient!
There are many reasons why communication across business units are not always effective. One of the main reasons is that there is not a standardized technique that every unit uses. One unit may use word of mouth however another unit prefers using email to communicate messages. Another reason why communication fails is following an organizational chart to communicate messages through. Important information may not be passed down to employees as necessary since they do not fall in a particular area on the chart. Managers and employees need to feel that they are able to communicate with individuals freely without using an organizational chart. The business needs to make sure that they use the oral message-sending process and writing communication
This is a direct extension of the 802.11b that extends the maximum data rate to 54Mbps, making it possible to serve up to five times as many users. Our Wi-Fi network is based on the IEEE 802.11 b/g standards, which is the most commonly used standard. We have added Wi-Fi access points in our network to give easier access to corporate data and services. Most of the devices in this network, for example the personal computers, smartphones, digital cameras, tablets and digital audio players connected using the Wi-Fi technology. The hotspot will be in the range of 20 meters (66 feet) indoors and a greater range outside.
The reduced rearm delay which is provided by digital triggering, together with segmented memory allows the capture of events that happen in rapid sequence. Rapid triggering can capture a new waveform every microsecond until the buffer is full.
What competencies were you able to develop in researching and writing the Comprehensive Project that is due in Unit 5?
You asked the following question: “An elementary school is being converted into a police station. The engineer of record (EOR) drawings showed that there was no water flow test information available and indicated that a test should be requested. Then the EOR provided as-built drawings that showed extended coverage sprinklers being used in the existing classrooms that are being converted to storage along with water flow test data dated 5-28-02. A new water flow test completed further away from the original requested location due to an issue with the hydrant located in front of the building. The designer could not make the existing system work with the extended coverage sprinklers based on the water flow test and a new system had to be installed
Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is a protocol that provides, additionally to the HTTP functionalities, confidentiality and integrity ofthe transactions (Internet Society 2000). This is done by using the transport layer security (TLS) that ensuresthe security of the transport layerThe Internet Society(2008).
As a consultant to Target retail group I would recommend dashboards to be introduced in the business.Dashboard technology is helping industries move in a new world by converting real time data into visually impactful, interactive platforms.There are several factors that determine the management’s decision for using dashboard systems which serves as a useful tool to remain competitive in any industry.
