Software application development at my company was initiated first out of security concerns. There were increasing numbers of security breaches reported in hospitals, banks, Yahoo, and other places that paused potential hazards (Snyder, 2014). We are in the financial Industry with huge volumes of sensitive data. Our Information Technology department expressed concerns that our SQL server was an easy target to those that may want to hack the system. Existing security measures and periodic training were very strict but they were not enough to protect customers from hackers. The executive team agreed to create a project for the purpose as a high priority. A team was put together under the leadership of the Project Management Office. At the same time, it was also decided to overhaul the entire process and standardize the software development throughout all the regions we do business in. Our team was born out of that directive. Before this process, IT department was solely responsible to make available access to software or databases based on the hiring manager’s needs and the profile of candidates joining the team. Now that computer …show more content…
The first part has a list of outdated software, legacy system. They are commonly referred to by their names such as MAS, SQL, Adhoc and other slight variations. What makes our project complex is that the systems are not operating on the same level. Some keep only our transactions and the other systems contain financial data that is booked for record. To transform all that into one system requires understanding the design of the legacy systems. Unfortunately, some of the design is not intuitive but after going through iterations of mathematical formula, you can validate some of the data. The second part called “proposed” has a list of the newer software that can be a one stop place for all data. When the project ends, the sections in the table above will be available in
The DOT (also know as USDOT) Number is an ID for federal safety regulations. The MC Number is your "Interstate Operating Authority." This is the $300 fee I believe you were referring to. The cost is dependent on Authority. 'Permanent Authority has a filing fee of $300."

This question marks its way back to the time when people used to rely on the security of windows login credentials. The security no doubt prevented users from having access to one’s personal computer, but once a person had logged into the system, he/she would have the access to basically anything and everything that came their way.

The Risk: In the first four months of 2014, the Center for Internet SecurityUS entity (CIS) observed increased defacement activity targeting printers used by state, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) governments. While current open source reporting identifies seemingly benign defacements of open systems, there is a chance that actors will target printers, copiers, and other embedded devices for more malicious purposes.

As discussed, this project and its requirements highlight areas where future work/improvements can be made to increase the project and the outcome. The timeframe put on this project is something which can be changed to deliver a full implementation rather than “vanilla functionality” which would later need to be modified. Another factor to consider delivering a full implementation would be the capital investment which is used for this project as this needs to be topped
Security helps the organization meet its business objectives or mission by protecting its physical and financial resources, reputation, legal position, employees, and other tangible and intangible assets through the selection and application of appropriate safeguards. Businesses should establish roles and responsibilities of all personnel and staff members. However, a Chief Information Officer should be appointed to direct an organization’s day to day management of information assets. Supporting roles are performed by the service providers and include systems operations, whose personnel design and operate the computer systems. Each team member must be held accountable in ensuring all of the rules and policies are being followed, as well as, understanding their roles, responsibilities and functions. Organizations information processing systems are vulnerable to many threats that can inflict various types of damage that can result in significant losses (Harris, 2014). Losses can come from actions from trusted employees that defraud the system, outside hackers, or from careless data entry. The major threat to information protection is error and omissions that data entry personnel, users, system operators and programmers make. To better protect business information resources, organizations should conduct a risk analysis to see what

The case study of Hefty Hardware shows a typical lack of inter-department communication, among company main business units and the IT department. Managers and stakeholders are unable to estimate the value that IT department brings to company business, and tend to neglect or debase it; the IT team, on the other hand, fails to communicate their milestones, technological difficulties and incompatibilities when implementing new projects and other aspects of IT operation in a comprehendible manner. The recent of suggestion by company CIO is to take some managers and top-ranking of IT department out into the field, to see for themselves how Hefty Hardware stores operate from the inside. Also, how can this vision to use for the improvements into current ERP implementation, or in general, company IT infrastructure, policies and procedures. Unfortunately, this suggestion has serious drawbacks, which will be discussed in the following paragraphs.
As electronic commerce, online business-to-business operations, and global connectivity have become vital components of a successful business strategy, enterprises have adopted security processes and practices to protect information assets. But if you look at today's computing environments, system security is a horrible game of numbers: there are currently over 9,223 publicly released vulnerabilities covering known security holes in a massive range of applications from popular Operating Systems through to obscure and relatively unknown web applications. [01] Over 300 new vulnerabilities are being discovered and released each month. Most companies work diligently to maintain an efficient, effective security policy, implementing the latest products and services to prevent fraud, vandalism, sabotage, and denial of service attacks. But the fact is you have to patch every hole of your system, but an attacker need find only one to get into your environment. Whilst many organisations subscribe to major vendor's security alerts, these are just the tip of the security iceberg and even these are often ignored. For example, the patch for the Code Red worm was available some weeks before the worm was released. [02]
Study results support the research by Kennedy (2016) on the effectiveness of training programs designed to educate employees assist in the prevention of security breaches. All participants underlined that the sustainment or implementation of a training program could lead to the reduction of unauthorized disclosure of information. Findings that supported taking security seriously and effective training were similar to Bulgurcu et al. (2010), Chen et al. (2015), Eminağaoğlu et al. (2009), and Meso et al. (2013). Eight participants (Laura, Susan, Angela, Erin, William, Carol, Scott, and Shawn) expressed employee training could reduce the unauthorized disclosure of
