Security Policy: Documentation and Implementation
Most babies cry when they receive their first set of vaccines. Mothers know that they must go through this to ensure a healthy future. Like a vaccine the development and execution of a good security policy will help prevent danger and intrusion later. Being one step ahead of the virus is half the battle; it’s the development and implementation that will essentially win the war.
The average American is surrounded by security policies in just about every aspect of their lives, but never takes the time to acknowledge that fact. Your bank probably has fraud protection for you, the same as when you travel you must go through an entity of a security policy (e.g. metal detectors,

What information assets must be protected?
9. What are users actually required to do?
10. How should security breaches and violations be reported?
11. What is the effective date and expiration date of the policy?
All of these questions must be criticized, debated and answered before any effective security policy could be enforced and followed by any company or organization. “But, expecting every employee to become a security expert is wholly unrealistic. Instead break down recommended security practices into manageable pieces that are tailored to meet individual job duties. A single, short and well-focused policy overview each week will be better received that a monthly volume of information that is overly ambitious.” In the example of the company profiting from collectables on EBAY, would most likely have a strict security policy. Having said that, you can’t expect an employee working in the mail room to know and abide by the same policies as an employee who has access to the company’s most vital information such as passwords, usernames and finances; but that’s not to say that every employee shouldn’t uphold to their own personal duties and policies to help protect the company’s assets and safeguarding the company’s private information. But in the company utilizing EBAY for profits you must expect that sometimes “outsiders” will have access to the company’s confidential information. “Outsiders (e.g. repair technicians, consultants, and
Between 1924 and 2013, vaccinations prevented 103 million cases of polio, measles, rubella, mumps, hepatitis A, diphtheria, and pertussis (Bailey). Vaccinating is “the process by which pathogenic cells are injected into a healthy person in an attempt to cause the body to develop antibodies to a particular virus or bacterium—successful creation of antibodies is referred to as immunity to the disease caused by the particular pathogen” (Introduction to Should Vaccinations be Mandatory). Popular conflicts regarding vaccination include the worry that this form of immunization isn’t natural, the idea that vaccination schedule for children in the U.S. takes away parents’ rights to make decisions for their children, and the concern that vaccinations aren’t safe for all children. Most doctors and scientists advocate for vaccinations in the name of herd immunity, protection against foreign diseases and prevention against pockets of disease outbreaks. Vaccinations should be mandatory for all children in the United States for who they are deemed safe and effective.

Security is beneficial to every company, spending nothing on security may save your business money in the short term but you only have to look back at the consequences Epsilon suffered due to lack of a quality security configuration making an estimated $4 billion loss due to negligence in their own network security system.
Security requirements also apply to all VA or contractor-operated services and information resources located and operated at contract facilities, at other government agencies that support VA mission
Our population is continuously growing, with newborn children being greeted into the world everyday. Unfortunately, the greetings are short lived as microbacteria and viruses plague every surrounding corner, with the potential to infect every newborn in it’s path with life-threatening illnesses. Vaccines are used to combat these unnecessary micro-organisms by using immunization chemicals to adjust the newborn's immune system. Children, around the age of two, commonly have 30 vaccination shots in order to combat severe bacterial infections such as Smallpox or Hepatitis B. However, an unorthodox trend has been occurring amongst parenting traditions; avoiding vaccinations. This unfortunate decision is caused by an overflow of website and celebrity-exposed
Parents need to protect their children from diseases that might be fatal. Health care providers strive to rid everyone from disease and hope that they can cure as many people as possible. Together, everyone can become more informed about how to protect themselves and their loved ones. The healthcare providers need to prepare themselves to answer patients in a reasonable fashion when worried parents come in asking for advice. Parents need to consider the scientific evidence rather than emotional experiences when deciding whether or not to vaccinate their child. If they want their child to have a strong immune system, have little to no risk at getting seriously sick, and help prevent illnesses from spreading then they need to get their children immunized. The government can help prevent people from getting ill by funding projects that will help others innovate safer vaccinations. Throughout history, vaccinations have saved countless lives and saved children from becoming permanently disabled, we need to support immunizations to protect the future generation’s
The police plays a key role in any political regime. Whether liberal democracy or an authoritarian regime, the police is responsible for internal security, law enforcement and channeling the claims of justice. The actions of the police are linked to the performance of the regime, given that they are the center of how the states responds to everyday problems. The police, not the members or mayors, are usually the first public officials to whom people look to when security problems occur. The perceptions of citizens on police work are therefore an important component in the legitimacy of the system than confidence in other policies, such as congress, the political parties or the executive institutions.
No longer do families lose most or all of their children in a span of a few weeks from one disease. Rather, in America and worldwide the disease rates for one such deadly disease, smallpox, has been virtually eliminated (UNICEF). Other common illnesses with a high propensity to kill have been significantly reduced, many by over 50% by modern vaccines. Many vaccines have been created within the last 50 years. Their efficacy and offered protection to a population relies on a scientific theory called herd immunity, which has demonstrated a high level of efficacy for eradicating and significantly reducing rates of lethal illnesses (Vaccines.gov). The protection of a community from infectious disease through herd immunity can be achieved by eliminating the “personal beliefs” exemption, removing fears of parents by shedding light on the false claims of the anti-vaccine movement and the introduction of the transdermal administration route which offers more effective immunity with cheaper and painless
Living in the 21th century is a blessing. Not only do we have advanced technology to help us with everyday life, we also have great medicine and health care systems, to help us fight what many of our ancestors didn't know how to secure themselves from. A vaccine is a scientific substance that provides active immunity to a particular disease. This might be one of the greatest achievements in the history of medicine.Toward the start of the twentieth century, the life expectancy in the United States was merely 47 years, but today's babies have a life expectancy of at least 79 years. But what happens when not everyone decides to comply with these simple prevention methods? In the last few years, numerous epidemics have resurfaced again and have
Security plans deal with four different elements: physical security, electronic security, and employee training. Physical Security is for companies that are old-fashioned and store paper documents or files. The are usually stored in a locked room or in a locked cabinet. For a business to secure this information it is necessary to limit the access to employees who do not need the information. For those employees who do need it, it is important for them to be reminded to put the files away when they are away from their workstation, and for them to speak up if they see an unfamiliar person on the premises. (cite) Electronic Security is very important due to the fact that most companies today only use technology to do their work. In order to secure information, the company must be able to identify the computers or servers that contain personal information, and inform those who have control of the devices that they need to regularly run up-to-date anti-virus programs to prevent any viruses. ((Viruses makes it easier for hackers))to hack data. Sensitive consumer data that is stored in computers, should not have internet connection unless essential for conducting your business(site) that way it would be hard for someone to hack that computer. If an employee is receiving transmit credit card information or other sensitive financial data, they should use Secure Sockets Layer,
As a parent, it is our job to protect our children from harm’s way. From the moment they enter this world, they depend on us to keep their little bodies healthy. “An estimated 322 million illnesses, 21 million hospitalizations and 732,000 deaths will be prevented thanks to routine childhood vaccinations, according to new statistics released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention” ( Rice). Immunizations are one of the best means of protection against contagious diseases and childhood vaccinations should be mandatory. Imagine a world where vaccinations didn’t exist. The death toll will rise. Childhood vaccinations should be required because they reduce the spread of diseases, help save the lives we care for, and are safe and effective. Furthermore, it is crucial that children are vaccinated to reduce the spread of diseases.
It would have been uncommon for teenagers to commit these types of crimes in the past, but their generation is growing up with computers and skills. Criminals range from teens, adults, to terrorist organizations, and can carry out crimes with the anonymity and the help of computers. Businesses are also putting vast amounts of critical information on computers and most of our financial transactions are conducted online.
When someone breaks into a network, people assume that it was by way of some complicated computer code or application. This is usually not the case, most of the time social engineering is involved, that is, someone has unintentionally allowed an unauthorized person access to the system. This is the main reason that security procedures must be implemented, and all employees must follow them. If these measures are followed, it makes investigation more easy for the forensic investigator, he or she has a starting place (South University Online, 2016). The best way to ensure that the employees are aware of these procedures is to have a mandatory online class that outlines what is and what is not considered sensitive, as well as who is
When an organization has decided to move on the cloud, then it should also consider the associated vulnerabilities and the threats. Some of the major vulnerabilities are discussed below:
As a parent you strive to keep your child safe and secure, you want to protect them from all of life’s tragedies. Therefore one would think you would do whatever is best for your child. With that being said, you know the importance of securing your young child in a car seat, or installing baby gates in front of stairs and other ways to provide safety for your young child. Or protecting them from a common cold, a high fever, stomach flu, which affects our society and individuals when their immune system is compromised. Do you know that as parents you also choose a more complicated way of protecting your young child? This is through the choice of weather or not to vaccinate a child from life threating illnesses, which may put not only your child at risk but those whom come in contact with your child at risk as well. In a recent study provided by the Center for Disease our society faces a serious problem, this problem is commonly preventable diseases, which were thought previously to be eradicated, are on the rise.
