Some Random Database Paper Our data is never at rest. Even when organizations depend on their database for storage, there is always copies of data somewhere else to be found. To service our men and women in the Army Reserves, data has to be manipulated at the local computer and then sent back to be stored back on the database. The very moment that data is moved and stored on a local machine for it to be manipulated is also the moment that the data is most vulnerable. Despite the concerted efforts to ensure data confidentiality the overall security depends efforts put forth by the weakest link. The insider threat is one of the hardest risk to mitigate, mainly due to their initial need to legitimately data access. Fortunately, the potential for loss at the database is slim. The Army Reserves has made an effort to allow only a handful users with the ability to maintain a system that supports 500,000 Soldiers. However, in regards to protecting the data that is stored where it is most vulnerable, with a robust auditing policy and proper resources, organizations can mitigate the effects of an insider whose intent is to cause some form of damage, as well as the unknowing individual who is simply making a mistake. Data in Motion The soldiers of the Army Reserves have an extremely difficult part time job. At times the leaders of some 500,000 soldiers are needed to work without pay, work from their full time office and are at times expected produce the same output at the

The database runs on the Oracle 11g platform and the CIO has task me to prepare a responsive database security plan. If personnel data is compromise identity theft can ensue and millions of dollars will be lost in repairing the wronged individual and rebuilding soldiers’ confidence in Department of Defense commitment to protecting their private information. It is not just the soldier information stored here but every dependent information and legal responsibility of single soldiers. The Standard Installation Division Personnel System Version 3 (SIDPERS-3) is a Standard Army Management Information System developed in 1991 with more automated personnel actions than ever before. The system consists of a relational data base, application software written in Ada, and a hardware suite. The hardware architecture is a host-based design with a
Global Information Assurance Certification (GIAC) is an information security certification entity that specialises in technical and practical certification as well as new research in the form of its GIAC Gold program. SANS Institute founded the certification entity in 1999 and the term GIAC is trademarked by The Escal Institute of Advanced Technologies.
Confidentiality services is the first objective of the web services. It means the restrict access to sensitive information and data to any person except the persons or groups who have security clearance to see these data. It measure and prevent the unauthorized disclosure of
For example a clerk will only be able to access a limited amount of information, such as inventory at each store. The limitations will be different for an accountant or the mangers. All information will be protected with several different layers of security. The first layers will be simple hardware protection for access to the network; from there the security will increase with password protection and restrictions to users. (Merkow & Breithaupt 2006)
For healthcare organizations, the risk of data breach attack has become so high with the introduction of Electronic Medical Records. Such situations are attributable to the fact that organizations have adopted use of electronic systems without putting into consideration security measures. In such cases, healthcare organizations engage nurses who are not qualified to use the systems or do not have any IT security knowledge. Lack of database security measures in healthcare organizations makes the organization vulnerable for data breach (McMillan, 2011).
The Bill of Rights or the First 10 Amendments to the Constitution guarantee certain uninhibited rights to all criminal defendants of the United States whether innocent of, suspected of, arrested for, or being convicted of a criminal act. In particular the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 8th amendments keep would be felons from being denied the inherent rights given as protection to all of our nation’s children. Each of the four rights will be discussed in detail herein and how they affect the Criminal Justice System as a whole but a greater focus will be spent on the 8th amendment and how it pertains to cruel and unusual punishment and of its great debate and deniability as to its occurrences in Maximum Security Prisons.

As technology grows and information has become a critical asset companies currently are devoted their resource and money to protect their data as important as their finance and human resource assets.
While all of these technologies have enabled exciting changes and opportunities for businesses, they have also created a unique set of challenges for business managers. Chief among all concerns about technology is the issue of information security. It seems to be almost a weekly occurrence to see a news article about yet another breach of security and loss of sensitive data. Many people will remember high profile data breaches from companies such as T.J Maxx, Boston Market, Sports Authority, and OfficeMax. In the case of T.J. Maxx, a data breach resulted in the loss of more than 45 million credit and debit card numbers. In many of these incidents, the root cause is a lack of adequate security practices within the company. The same technologies that enable managers can also be used against them. Because of this, businesses must take appropriate steps to ensure their data remains secure and their communications remain
While many organizations focus their security efforts on their network boundaries, it is the insider that perhaps poses the most risk to cyber security. From executives to IT administrators to partners, many people have access to sensitive data that if publicly exposed, could have significant consequences to an organization’s business or even its existence. With the recent high-profile national security breaches, such as the Edward Snowden and Bradley Manning cases, emphasize the need for a new approach to
The practice and study in securing communication between parties in presence of potential adversaries. A cryptographic algorithm or cipher is a mathematical function used in a plaintext in the encryption and decryption process. A cryptographic algorithm works in combination with a key (number, word, or phrase) to encrypt the plaintext. The same plaintext also encrypts to different cipher text with the use of different keys. The core of modern cryptography is the construction and analyzation of protocols of various aspects in information security such as data integrity and confidentiality, authentication, and non-repudiation.
There are four broad areas of computer misuse: theft of computational resources, disruption of computational services, unauthorized information disclosure, and unauthorized information modification. These four areas correspond to threats to IT security. The first two categories correspond to threats to availability; the third corresponds to a threat to confidentiality; and the fourth to the integrity of the information.
With advances in technology constantly happening, it can be hard to keep up with all of the latest trends. If organizations cannot keep up with the latest trends, it can lead to flaws in their security. Any flaws in security can have a detrimental effect on an organization’s database. Almost every organization has some sort of database, whether it is for maintaining customers, inventory, or vital information.
The protection of a database system’s integrity should be a top priority within its security structure. The integrity of a database refers to the protection of information from being tampered with or manipulated by unauthorized personnel. The data and information found within the database must be accurate and consistent at all times. Thus, its integrity must also be protected from authorized users to ensure that the user is
Even with the advancement in technology, remote employee security has become a larger threat to organizational data. The systems in use are decentralized. This creates a situation where the organizational data needs more protection, the threat posed to the organizations data by an employee
