Physical Security
Physical security could be thought of as a very important piece of security. Just because you apply many different policies to have a lockdown on the software environment, it doesn’t mean that people are not able to just go in and inflict damage upon your network. Physical security is the measures to prevent or deter attackers from trying to gain access into the facility. With FTD Enterprises they have none to barely any physical security in place. The most security that they have is a locked door, which is also seen to be open during the night. In the RFP it stated they have been robbed a couple of times, in which there was no destruction that shows a struggle in breaking in. This deems that they have overlooked physical security, as a requirement in protecting their assets. Their current physical security through the assessment we have done stands as this:
• Servers and routers are in locked rooms or secured in a locked enclosure and run on uninterruptible power supplies.
• Sensitive information is not to be stored on laptop computers that are taken outs...
This assignment looks at the importance of safeguarding and how practitioners and agencies should be involved to help prevent any risks when dealing with a vulnerable adult. The case study is about a 22 year old vulnerable adult called Andrew who has been diagnosed with autism. According to (Autism.org.uk, 2017) Autism is a complex developmental disability that usually affects children during early childhood. It is a condition that can affect communication, behavior, social interactions and how people experience and interact in the general word around them.
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...
In this essay I will be discussing the importance of safeguarding within mental health nursing and child nursing, I have chosen to talk about this topic because student and registered nurses include this in their training and continue to be influenced by the importance of safeguarding in everyday practice. The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) states that 50,500 children in the UK are known to be at risk of abuse. As nurses during practice and placement we need to ensure that we follow correct procedures that ensure that barriers are not crossed which will cause safeguarding issues. For Mental Health Nurses (RMN) this could include; ensuring that proper consent is given, ensuring that vulnerable adults in our care are safe and their welfare is
The most infamous and deadly act of violence to occur in a U.S. school were the events of April 20, 1999. In Littleton Colorado two teens went on a shooting and bombing spree that left 15 dead and 24 wounded before they shot and killed themselves. During the rampage, the two fired about 900 rounds of ammunition from two sawed off shotguns, a 9-mm semiautomatic carbine, and a semiautomatic handgun. Police also later found more than 30 bombs placed throughout the school (Brock, 2001).
According to Ces Company, PENCO SmartLocker™ utilizes computerized identification technology to grant or restrict access to lockers in a manner consistent with the operational policies of owners and administrators of the lockers. The system can be designed to have lockers assigned to individuals on a permanent or temporary basis. Lockers are networked via computer to a central administrative office, where usage can be monitored and access controlled. The SmartLocker™ system is custom designed to meet the individual needs of the owner or organization
On September 11, 2001, twenty Arab men boarded four different airplanes with the intent of attacking our country. They boarded the planes with the intent of causing tremendous damage to New York City and Washington, D.C. Two planes crashed into each tower of the World Trade Center, one plane crashed into the Pentagon, and the last plane crashed into a Pennsylvanian field. These twenty men cut short over 3000 lives. The innocent people that died had no need to have their lives taken in the way that they were. However, they lost their lives because they were American, and to the terrorists, they stood for certain principles.
Law enforcement uses several methods to solve all types of crimes. Having a variety of ways to help solve an investigation gives officials an advantage. If one method fails or isn’t helpful, there are several others they can rely on. For instance, if there are no physical witnesses to a crime, the criminal may have left a fingerprint at the crime scene. An individual’s fingerprint is unique, “no two persons have exactly the same arrangement of ridge patterns” (“Fingerprint ID”). Fingerprints of criminals and of civilians are collected and stored. Also, “People who apply for government jobs, jobs that handle confidential information, banking jobs, teaching jobs, law enforcement jobs, and any job that involves security issues can be fingerprinted” (“The First ID”). Fingerprints are processed within hours and minutes through the Integrated Automated Fingerprint ID System. This system was developed in 1991, and made it easier for different law enforcement agencies to store and share fingerprints.
The use of surveillance equipment has caused these safe-guards to exist. When used, sends a subconsci...
The video is of President Bush when he is signing the Bill for the “Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act” from the White House on the 17th of Dec, 2004. A key point that I took away from this video is with the Presidents opening statement, “In a few minutes, I will sign into law the most dramatic reform of our nation's intelligence capabilities since President Harry S. Truman signed the National Security Act of 1947. “ The reason that I feel that this statement is so profound is that it took a stateside terrorist attack to realize that there was a discrepancy with the way that the intelligence community operated. In these times many can not go two years without the need to purchase the next big thing. The way that any community has positive progression is by reviews and improvements. Not only did the intelligence community change 55 years, but the way that society started a change to the entitlement generation where society now feels as if they are entitled to information regardless of the impact to national security.
Security is complex and is part of our everyday lives. An explanation of security, according to Buzan (1991) (cited in McDonald, 2008, p.70) is that ‘security is the absence of threats’. Generally, it is concerned with matters related to safety, which can be physical, financial, social or emotional. However, it can also apply to an array of concepts like risk, danger and segregation (Carter et al., 2008b, p.4). Social, cultural and material practices produce security (Carter et al., 2008a, p.180) and in conjunction with material entities in inner-city areas mediate diverse experiences and understandings of individual security in our communal worlds (Carter et al., 2008b, p.6). As the city is a place of intermixing, difference and diversity (Carter et al., 2008b, p.15), the actual and imagined fear of ‘others’ has become an intrinsic part of urban life (Watson, 2008, pp.115-116). Positive and adverse imaginaries of city life and fears and insecurities constantly produce and destroy security in our shared worlds and ‘underpin social-spatial segregation and division’, an idea posited by Sophie Watson (Carter et al., 2008b, p.15). According to Ken Booth, people can only achieve genuine security if they do not deprive others of it (McDonald, 2008, p.70). This assignment will explore this issue and use the materiality of inner-city areas, under the guise of gated communities, sports utility vehicles and closed-circuit television and surveillance to examine the security among the inhabitants who reside in these built-up residential areas.
Two fundamental concepts in computer and information security are the security model, which outlines how security is to be implemented. Basically providing a blueprint and the architecture of a computer system, which fulfills this blueprint. A security model is a statement that outlines the requirements necessary to properly support and implement a certain security policy. A security model provides a deeper explanation of how a computer operating system should be developed to properly support a specific security policy (Whitman, 2014).

It is obvious that the computer is now and always will be inexorably linked to
Computer security is needed to protect the computer and the data that is stored or accessed in the computer. Computers are used on jobs, in schools, and for research. They also support critical business processes. Computers protect personal and sensitive information for businesses too. The meaning of computer security has changed over the years. In the past people did not have to worry about someone putting a virus on their computer, the only problem they had then was someone taking it from them. There were viruses, but they were used for the mainframe so they would not work, not for personal computers. Even at this time there were not a lot of personal computers in use. A lot of people could not afford them in the past. Then you had people that did not know what computers were and what they did. Now today you cannot find a person that doesn’t know what a computer is for. Today most people have at least one computer of some type in their homes. In the business world people would lock up the computers in the computer room to keep people from messing up the machine. The machines were too big to carry out. The main frames were massive machines that took up a lot of space. You did not have to worry about someone moving them. Today computer sizes are a lot smaller. These computers are portable so they can be carried off but that is not the main problem. The main problem come in to play when you have people stealing data off of your machine while you are on the internet surfing. All users want to prevent theft of their computer and theft to the data that is in their computer. Users do not want anyone to put viruses on their computer or anything that may damage the computer. Some business will only allow strict acce...
