INTRODUCTION
This topic is about password reuse and password sharing whereby password reuse is a practice that might be dangerous to any organisation’s security if exercised continuously by employees. This is a process of using the same password for a long time after it was reset or expired. And password sharing can be the process of employees giving each other’s password to use if for example one employee is not at work he or she can ask the other one to give his or her password so that one can perform I specific task. These two practices might be increasingly the risk to enterprise security breaches. In some cases it might be of the organisation’s benefit that users are sharing a password may be to perform a certain task in the absence

Password management is a multistep process that takes a few years for companies to hold, according to Cunningham. There are certain necessary steps to securing a company and several aspects to that end.
"It is a matter of education for the employees to educate them on the hazards and risks," Cunningham said. "There's a policy aspect of it: If you're accessing our financial application, 'thou shalt not use that password for anything else in your life.' And then there are tools you can use to help automate that process for the employees, such as a Password Bolt. Maybe they don't know what the password is, but they can log into the Password Bolt and the passwords are generated for them." All this can be achieved through policies and the policy must be enforced and be audited to ensure adherence to this

For example in the new technology if someone can access the Wi-Fi then he or she can have access to the devices that are connected in that network environment. With the new data in hand, Bonneau found that 49 percent of users whom he was able to match across both sites had the used the same password for their login credentials. Six percent of them differed their passwords by changing capitalization or adding a small suffix (that is, something like "Password" and
However, I feel users had a different vision/perspective on security mechanisms and they trusted each other during those times and did not have to worry about protecting their information (this is how exactly, one person’s ignorance becomes another’s person’s - hacker, here bliss). This book helps us to understand the vulnerabilities; its impacts and why it is important to address/ fix those holes.
The password related configuration changes which are recommended below will make it more difficult or unauthorized users to figure out user passwords and access systems with the identified
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

However, in 2013 it is rumored that Wells Fargo started implementing harsh management tactics; the company required unrealistic numbers that were required of their employees and the employees began to open accounts without customer knowledge. These harsh management tactic included bribing employees with large bonuses if they met certain goals and even threatening punishment to those who did not meet the goals. Wells Fargo did have many precautions in place to prevent such employee behavior, however many employees engaged in the behavior anyway (Tayan,

Training employees on HIPAA, policies and procedures would help mitigate risks to unauthorized access to information. Meeting the requirements set by HIPAA will protect the company, the employees, and the people private information within the company computer network.
A private security manager in general definition is one that the program, scheme or method of worked for the accomplishment of an objective or course of action and direct supervising of security function and activities in a particular time in giving the protection and safety against any danger or injury of an administration or corporation. A private security manager is dissimilar to law enforcement officers and this private security manager does not work for the government but instead to a private company and work with certain limits of rights like keeping people under restraint or custody and taking weapons but it all depends on the state law where they do service. The most essential duties and responsibilities of a private security manager are planning, management and reporting.
Chris Davies and Ravi Ganesan [11] reviews about the weakly chosen passwords continue to be a major source of security problems and it is vulnerable to dictionary attacks. In this method BApasswd a new proactive password checker is projected and this component is used for password varying program that attempts to validate the eminence of a password chosen by the user, before the selection is finalized. When the user had given a password, this system will use statistical test to determine it with a high degree of confidence, whether the password could have been generated by the Markov Process, and if so, it rejects the password and hence it effectively filters out the bad passwords and show a warning message to choose the new password to the valid users.
The key management problem is an bigger issue in sensor field. Each and every sensor nodes are needed to transmit the node, then only the data’s are reached to base station, so each and every sensor node within a group need an keys to transmit the data. While attacker entered and also get the full access of sensor node, and ready to hack data, but they need to wait. Because the node are none of the keys at the time, transmitting time only the nodes get access of keys from the cluster head. A cluster having a variety of group in the network and each and every groups are specified using their names. All of the groups are having the number of nodes to transmit the information over the network.
The following memorandum written by a director of a security and safety consulting service discusses a critical issue effecting business in our economy today, that of employee theft. "Our research indicated that, over past six years, no incident of employee theft have been reported within ten of the companies that have been our clients. In analyzing the security practices of these ten companies, we have further learned that each of them requires its employees to wear photo identification badges while at work. In the future, we should recommend the uses of such identification badges to all of our clients." The issue of employee theft is a broad problem and has different labels to identify it, shrinkage for the retail industry and hidden profit loss in the technology sector are serval examples of common terms used for employee theft. The author of this memorandum presents several data points and suggests one recommendation to effect the issue of employee theft based on a sampling of the client population.

Introduction: This is a 21th century, technology is the most important and improved thing of the human life. It makes life easier and faster. Development of faster sophisticated technology we have better and fast life. So all we are connect each other by computer network. There are two different way of network: Wired and wireless. Now day we can found network almost everywhere. Home, business, public place, Airport, Planes, hospitals, school, train everywhere we can found networking. Therefore, almost every sector of the economy that has affected by wired and wireless technology. Wired network and wireless protect both has security, But in general wireless network is less secure than wired networks. For proper security AP (access point) and its antenna should be right position. Also add a wireless access point or use a wireless router we can connect to network wirelessly. AS we using more and more of devices (smart phones, tablet and computers) rely on wireless networking, we have to improve our network security too.
Many users are subject of Security and Privacy on the Internet issue. The term "information" now is more used when defining a special product or article of trade which could be bought, sold, exchanged, etc. Often the price of information is higher many times than the cost of the very computers and technologies where it is functioning. Naturally it raises the need of protecting information from unauthorized access, theft, destruction, and other crimes. However, many users do not realize that they risk their security and privacy online.
Security is very important for many different reasons. A nation must insure their safety as a whole, as well as the persons living in the nation. It is equally important that the nation's economy is stable and growing. Security is something that every nation deals with, in many different ways. It is a way that nations come to together and create allies. However, it is also a way for nations to create enemies. There are a variety of concerns that require attention around the world including state security, human security, and economic security. Political and economic relations impact each of these security issues different proven by history and present events around the world.
