Chapter 8, Problem 1IQ
Program Plan Intro
System vulnerability:
- When huge data amounts are been kept in electronic form, it becomes susceptible to many threats.
- The
information systems in many locations are been interconnected through communication networks. - The unauthorized access can occur at many access points in network and is not limited to single location.
- The data flowing over networks could be accessed; valuable information could be stolen while transmission or data could be altered without authorization.
- The denial-of-service attacks are launched by intruders to disrupt website operations.
- Internets are vulnerable than internal networks as it is open to everyone.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Authentication and Identity management:
- The Identity management (ID management) denotes an organizational process to identify, authenticate and authorize individuals to have access to information.
- The information includes applications, networks with user rights and other company information.
- It includes authenticating of users and to determine whether they are allowed access to particular system.
- It determines whether a user has access to systems but also sets access level and permission level for users.
- It includes control over process of authorizing system or network permissions for existing users.
- It includes off boarding of users who are no longer authorized for access to organization system.
- Authentication denotes a process of recognizing identity of a user.
- It denotes a method to associate an inbound request with identifying credential set.
- The credentials delivered are compared with values of file in a
database of authorized information of user within authentication server. - It has two different phases, identification as well as actual authentication.
- The identification phase would provide a user identity to security system.
- This identity is been provided in form of a user ID.
Working with IT security systems:
- Yes, have worked with IT security systems and identity management.
- The job nature was to ensure proper working of systems in an organization.
Nature of work with software:
- The job nature was to ensure proper working of systems in an organization.
- The proper updating of virus protection software and system updates was a responsibility.
- The scheduled back up schemes is to be controlled and managed.
- To ensure proper working of software present in organization.
- To ensure credentials provided by user matches with that of access file database.
