Assumptions:
I assume that Jason had no intention of corrupting the computer with the USB storage drive. Also, plugging USB drives and other devices into the computers at the Broadway Café is probably a common practice among employees. Therefore, demonstrating management’s failure to implement any controls to help reduce risks and mitigate loss.
BC #2 Security Potential risks and security breaches have been on the rise with a growing number of skillful hackers. This results in an increase to external threats to personnel and businesses. However, when complex security measures and the appropriate level of controls are utilized, there is a reduction to the potential risk and loss due to failure or breach. Therefore, such practice will enhance system reliability.
Unfortunately, it appears Jason has initiated an internal attack by utilizing the USB storage drive on the café’s computer. The drive must of stored some sort of virus that now has complete access to the computer and possibly the system network. Broadways Café’s intellectual and financial property can be compromised, which mean the owner of the USB may now have complete access.
This situation can result in a number of costly consequences that may temporarily cripple the café. In the best case, the owner of the USB’s objective may have been to inject

However, not every risk can be avoided, therefore, the objective is to determine the optimal (cost vs. benefit) level on controls to implement to help mitigate risks. In the café’s security case, human error was the primary issue. Such error resulted in an internal attack from a USB storage drive that could’ve been easily avoided with the implementation of controls. A simple preventative control such as, user awareness of risks, or by completely banning the use of USB’s or any device on any computer would have avoided this now costly
At approximately 1850 hours, I approached Jackson approximately five spaces inside of the Westfield Shopping Town Blue Garage where I identified myself both verbally and with a badge as Nordstrom Loss Prevention. At this time Westfield Mall Security observed the apprehension. I then asked Jackson if he knew why I stopped him, Jackson was absolutely silent in which I asked him if he had a medical condition or if he understood my questions. Jackson shook his head ‘yes’ to asking if he understood me, I then asked Mall Security to assist me with the escort due to Jacksons strange behavior.
Physical and environmental security programs are generally considered to be a collection of mechanisms and controls put into place that help ensure the availability of information technology capabilities. These programs protect an organization from fire, flood, theft, power failure, intentional, and even unintentional damage through negligence. Implementation of these programs at the organizational level can take place in a number of ways but most organizations choose to follow the application of a body of standards, usually set forth by an organization such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). Once such body of standards put forth by ISO/IEC is 27002, Information technology – Security techniques – Code of practice for information secur...
On 11/9/17 at 9:56 AM, Security Officer Larry Mayer notified Security Account Manager Enmanuel Cabrera, that he witnessed IH Services Supervisor Roberto Medina take a soda from the bistro and not pay for it. Immediately an investigation was launch to see exactly what happened. Upon further review of the video surveillance system, one can see that Roberto Medina goes to the pay kiosk near the coffee machine at 9:45:54 AM. While at the kiosk, Roberto appears to refill his US Connect card. Shortly after that, Roberto goes to the refreshment refrigerator and grabs a grape crush soda. Upon grabbing the soda, he goes to get a cup, then some ice, and sits back down. At no point and time is Roberto seen paying or returning to the kiosk.
Security architecture is a major component and part of a system’s architecture and is usually designed to provide important guidance during the development of the system. It usually outlines the assurance level required and in the process outlines the possible impacts that this level of security might have on the development process of the actual system. Since security is a major component for the success of any given business unit, it is necessary to have a fully functional and operative security system that meets all the necessary requirements for any organization. Some leading business firms are usually faced with the task of achieving and maintaining high security measures and methods. SecureTek one of the leading provider of security solutions is faced with the challenge of redesigning their security architecture to assure security to the data and the other firm’s valuable assets as well as ensuring security to their customers and employees who encounter risky situations when visiting this business unit.
The information gathered in this report will show the methodology and tools used to forensically examine any files or images stored in relation to the investigation claim of Bobby Joe. While the examination is being conducted I will show how the chain of custody of evidence is kept, what evidence was discovered in the file image, and identify and examine the devices used. It will also show what steps Bobby Joe took to store information on the claim against him. The results of this investigation will then be used to determine if any offences he may have committed according to the State laws. The report will also provide a summary of the information for a jury to examine and understand. USB flash drive without any security function causes
Despite investing one of top security system, and spend money to boost up their defense mechanism to meet industry standard, hackers still able to find the holes of the Target system. Target seem to run into a costly mistake in this cases. However, I believe, this mistake could be happened upon anyone, what we learn to prevent it in the future is more important. I believe, as a security standpoint, we have to look at it from multiple angles and not rely on only one defense mechanism. To succeed again the hackers, educating the workforce and assessing the human factors in not only technical but also strategy and risk management must be ensured for companies to guarding against any future attacks.
I made contact with business employee, Tina Davey. Tina was able to review the business security camera. Upon review of the security video I observed the victim arrive to the business on the bicycle and place it near the business entrance. I observed the victim enter the business and a short time later a male subject take possession of the bicycle and leave the property. I was able to take still photographs of the suspect, later identified as Anthony Marco-Rose, which was distributed as a bolo via my agency issued E-mail and entered into the Port Richey Police Department property room as evidence. The suspect was observed wearing a ret polo shirt, black pants, and black shoes with a tattoo reading “ROSE”.
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

... its media in transit because they are sensitive electronic devices. Electromagnetic fields can wipe or otherwise damage data stored on magnetic media. Radio frequency radiation can cause damage to magnetic media, so placement of the items in a squad car truck or near radio gear should be avoided. The large amount of space a computer and media can take up most investigators choose to take a minivan or other large transport vehicle along with them during executing a search warrant for a computer. During transport care must be taken to ensure the long-term security and stability of these materials. Computer components and media should be kept in a cool, dry place that is free from water pipes or other building utilities that could cause damage to equipment if they fail. They should also be kept well away from magnetic fields or radio frequency interference sources.

The tool is activated after being installed on a USB flash drive then plugged into a USB port. The features the tool includes are password decryption, data extraction and Internet history recovery. The most outstanding feature that COFFEE offers is the recovery of data stored in volatile memory that could be lost if the computer was turned off.
Lack of in-store physical security:- Per Information week, the hackers had opened the in-store kiosks and used USB drives to load the software onto those terminals and turned them into remote terminals that connected to TJX’s networks. This brings forth the issue of negligence, lack of monitoring and securing physical in-store IT assets (Googleca, 2016).
This report aim to explain how is achieved risk control through strategies and through security management of information.
The first thing that we must consider about Information Security is that there is not a final destination at which we can arrive. IT Security is an ongoing set of processes and activities that requires attention and expertise on a daily basis. It is important to understand that systems are not secured by themselves and it is our responsibility to maintain and improve them periodically as required. It is of vital importance to establish the appropriate mechanisms and requirements in order to support the company’s CIA triad. The following report will provide you guidance about auditing and hardening techniques applied though the 7 Domains by utilizing IT Security Best Practices.
