Mortgage Connect is committed to protecting both its proprietary and customer data. To do this, MC has established a formal information security program to ensure appropriate controls are in place to safeguard sensitive data from unauthorized access or disclosure. The MC security program is comprised of both technical and procedural controls. MC has employed advanced next generation firewalls with Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) at the network perimeter configured in pairs for high availability. Public facing systems are segmented within a DMZ, isolated from internal systems by a pair of next generation firewalls protecting the intranet. All servers reside within either MC’s primary or secondary data center. Data centers are enterprise class

Primary area of responsibility was operating, maintaining and performing scheduled Preventative Maintenance tasks on over 60 assets in the Sterile Packaging Area. Ordered replacement spares for equipment through SAP system to dramatically reduce machine downtime. Documented failure and root cause analysis to determine PM frequencies. Administrator within our quality system database, Computerized Maintenance Management Software (CMMS) Infor EAM. Transferred over 8,000 assets from one database to another. Provided support to several departments for data entry of new assets. Scanning, copying, saving files to computer drives and inserting them into the data base on a daily basis. Inputted paper work sheets into database. Ensure accuracy and completeness of data entry by downloading records into Excel to verify completeness. Followed company Work Instructions and SOP's too fully comply with FDA regulations for Quality reporting. Work well and assist others from different departments.

Data breaches like these have serious implications for the business operations and could even lead to the collapse of the whole system, where the law is applicable the Company’s systems are put under supervision to make sure they meet the newest regulation for financial data protection and regular auditing to make sure the system is stable and secure.

The Questionnaires and information gathering documents are very important because they provide accurate information about the security of the system and where improvements can be made to prevent further intrusions and remediate certain vulnerabilities within a system. The inputs for this step include reports from prior

This paper explores the most significant security vulnerability that information technology (IT) professionals face in the future. It provides definitions, dissimilarities between vulnerabilities, risks, threats, and risk along with real-world examples of each. This conclusion is the result of several research reports from various sources, to include IT professionals such as the Apple Developers who propose that there are several variations of vulnerabilities which exist, Microsoft, and The Certified Ethical Hackers Guide. This paper also examines four variations of vulnerabilities described in various articles reports, and websites and gives real world examples of each. These descriptions and examples also define as well as illustrate the vulnerabilities albeit each article has its own conviction as to what the greatest security vulnerability is facing IT professionals. Nevertheless, all vulnerabilities have a commonality discussed in the IBM Security Services 2014 Cyber Security Intelligence Index (2014). The IBM Security Services 2014 Cyber Security Intelligence Index establishes the correlation between the variations in vulnerabilities: Humans and human error.

As technology is becoming more prevalent the manner in which we store information is changing. Gone are the days of information being stored into file cabinets. Instead information is stored in databases, a system of hard drives that stores information electronically normally accessible remotely. With this comes a rise in hackers and correspondingly a rise in security breaches, where hackers have access to sensitive information. Vulnerabilities are the root of all hacks. For businesses, they result in a decline in reliability. If an individual or a group wants to breach information, they will almost always find a way. With the increasing need for information databases, businesses have to weigh the risks of hacks. When

a significant amount of data security breaches are due to either employee oversight or poor business process. This presents a challenge for businesses as the solution to these problems will be far greater than simply deploying a secure content management system. Business processes will need to be examined, and probably re-engineered; personnel will need to be retrained, and a cultural change may be required within the organization. These alone are significant challenges for a business. A recent example of what is probably unintentional featured an Australian employment agency’s web site publishing “Confidential data including names, email addresses and passwords of clients” from its database on the public web site. An additional

Finally, auditors must be informed on the measures and controls taken at the entry point of the information system. It is essential that only the right people have access to the right data and programs, to prevent security breaches that may compromise the integrity of the entire information system. In essence, auditors must understand the “nature and characteristics of an entity’s use of IT in its information system” to address the risks posed by IT and its users (page 126). Aiding this process may also include interviews with users with access privileges, and an understanding of segregation of

Modern businesses are faced with major security threats especially to their information systems. The complexity of systems has not helped in mitigating these threats. With the massive adaption of information systems within organizations, they have become the cornerstones for organizations and this has made the systems more vulnerable to sabotage and potential attacks. There are both external and internal threats to information systems, which can be accidental or intentional. The threats to information systems are multilayered, and they can affect a couple of components like networks, software applications, operating systems, intranet, internet, and wireless technologies.

Management is an information problem due to the fact that policymaking and training of securing systems from users fall into the responsibility of their role. These responsibilities can include limiting access as well as disabling certain functions that are not related to the organizations’ function. Management can set policies that may arise due to improper uses or manipulations of systems and asses the threats that are unknown due to the introduction of new hardware and software.

Intrusion: A monitored environment alerts an organization about unauthorized activities and allows security managers to respond appropriately.

Unauthorized access, usage, recording, modification, distraction, etc. are the risk to the information security. There are many different ways through which personal information can be lost or accessed, misused, modified, or disclosed.

There is a widely held misconception among CISOs, in that “if we are compliant, we are therefore secured”. Acting by way of a fixed set of responses based on regulatory or legislative drivers often provides a false sense of security.

This paper will describe the security monitoring activities that should be implemented and carried out in an organization on both internal and e-commerce applications. Managing risk is very crucial and plays an integral part in an organization especially to those that considers data as one of their asset. In this time and age, good risk management is the basis in achieving good business and attaining the company’s goals high ROI (Return On Investment).

Introduction: In this day and age there is much talk about data breaches, many large companies have either been hacked or somehow accidentally leaked information about their customers, including but not limited to sensitive information such as bank account and credit cards numbers. Moreover, as the world wide web users continue to grow at a monumental speed and more persons gain access to computers, the likely hood of data breach is greater than ever. Additionally, in this break neck pace that the world moves, gone are the days of writing checks and using cash, as more and more consumers turn to credit and debit cards trying to keep their money safe. Under examination today are three key areas of accountability regarding information security; I.T. Security, Information Security and Enterprise Security.
