| Logistix Inc. Risk Assessment Report | SE578 - Practices for Administration of Physical & Operations SecurityKeller Graduate School of ManagementPREPARED BY: PREPARED ON: APRIL 9, 2011 | | Over the past several weeks an assessment of Logistix Information Security posture has been under review from the perspective of both an insider looking out hoping to protect the organizations information assets and as an outside looking in attempting to gain unauthorized access to the organizations information assets. The overall objective of this assessment is to get a clear and concise picture of the organizations security posture and determine where any and all potential vulnerabilities lie, determine who might exploit the …show more content…
Most organizations do not like to implement strict password policies as this is relatively undesirable by the organizations users. However, failure to implement such a policy leaves the organization very vulnerable to someone being able to gain unauthorized access. There are several courses of action that can be taken by the organization to mitigate this threat. One that would practically eliminate the threat would be implement a multi-factor authentication system. This requires that the user attempting to authenticate must have multiple items to authenticate whether it is something they have such as an ID card combined with something they know such as a PIN, or something they know such as their username, and something they are such as a fingerprint. This form of authentication makes it almost impossible for an unauthorized user to gain accesses, because if they are able to obtain one part of the equation, say the part that someone knows, they must also obtain the second part which is something that person has or is. Without these two separate keys, the unauthorized user won’t be able to unlock the door and obtain access to the organizations information resources. Although implementing a multi-factor authentication solution can be relatively expensive and time consuming. So if the organization chooses to stay with a single-factor authentication system, then they need to implement a strict password policy that requires complex passwords, along

Security departments and employees commonly have to work with the organizations budgeting process to be able to plan for the replacement, maintenance, or installation of new security controls and systems. Often a security manager must create an outline or summary of the benefits, total system life costs, and the need for the system to justify the expenditures. They should also create a budget that allows the budgeting team to assess the proposal and compare it to other departments that are trying to allocate capital for their department’s use. This in turn requires the use of several different metrics to identify the best allocation of capital. (McCrie, 2007; Fitzgerals, 2008)

An assisted fall is when a staff member witnesses a patient's fall and attempts to minimize the impact of descend. Many patient falls occurring during hospital encounters may cause little or no harm but some can result in serious and even possibly life-threatening consequences for many patients such as hip fractures and head trauma. Even when a fall does not lead to death, it can require prolonged hospitalization. Some could suffer disability, loss of function, and lose their independence or premature death. “Patient falls in hospitals are a common and often preventable adverse event. Nurses routinely conduct fall risk assessment on all patients, but communication of fall risk status and tailored interventions to prevent falls is variable at best.” (Hurley,

Which domain requires annual security awareness training and employee background checks for sensitive positions to help mitigate risk from employee sabotage?
The community has not been significantly affected by the COPR – containing soils. “The property values have been kept intact and the businesses on affected properties have continued to operate” (Paustenbach, 2002, p.1). When the COPR was ub the process of disposal, there was little or no concern for the environmental and human health risks that would occur as a result of the distribution of COPR outside the plant.

Creation of specific plans, policies and procedures covering safety and security matters at SLC as a whole are not yet a reality. They certainly are a realistic probability in the near future; and should be. In the meantime, several topics and issues independent of such elements are available for sharing with SLC staff
In the three maintained products the threats and risks are to be identified. Such as the data base securing, user identification, authorizing proper managers, protections from hackers and updated firewalls and less vulnerable software.
The problem with passwords is that they require to be extremely complex in order to be protective. You also need a different password for all of your logins – this means password retention is hard. This is problematic for both the user and the business. Both will be compromised in the event that hackers obtain the password – businesses will need to spend a lot of money in preventing hacking, but they are still vulnerable for users’ lack of proper handling of passwords. Knowing where liability lies in the event of hacking can be difficult.
To understand the role(s) of a Security Manager, a person must know what security is and what it means to an organization. According to Ortmeier, “security may be defined as a public or private service-related activity that provides personnel, equipment, and creates policies and procedures designed to prevent or reduce losses. These losses, caused by criminal action as well as by noncriminal events resulting from human error, emergencies, man-made and natural disasters, and business intelligence collection by competitors”.
