Identification of vulnerability will require a corporate organization to make a decision to implement changes for the email server to enhance an effective corporate network system.
Process to Implement the Decision
Process to implement the decision is to set aside both financial and human resources. Organizations should set aside that sufficient financial resources, and skilled it personnel to carry out the implementation of the project. Personnel to carry out patch stability must possess expertise in critical system and capable of verifying stability of the system after the patch installation. However, before the installation of patch is carried out, there is a need to implement a full back up of all data as well as server configuration. A best practice for disaster recovery is to do a back up of data. Moreover, there is a need to create an Emergence Repair disk for the email server.
Process to Implement the Change Request
The process to implement the change request is to install patches in the email server. However, an organization should update the gateway before installing patches to address vulnerability in the email server. The process to implement the change process involves the following:
Creating organizational-specific patch database,
Testing patches,
Distributing vulnerability and patch information to system administrators
Verification of patch installation through host and network scanning,
Provide training for system administrators for the use of vulnerability databases,
Deploying patches automatically.
The important step is to train system administrators who will be responsible to the vulnerability database. Training will assist the organization...
The next important process is to perform an automatic deployment of patches using an automated distributed patch deployment. Using this strategy, an organization will be able to provide a maximum security for the mail server.
Identification of Method to Monitor the System.
"Information security continuous monitoring (ISCM) is defined as maintaining ongoing awareness of information security, vulnerabilities, and threats to support organizational risk management decisions" (Dempsey, Chawla, Johnson,. et al. 2011 P. 1).
Methods that an organization could use to monitor the system are as follows:
Maintaining situational awareness of the system across the organization;
Use of automation system to monitor the system to identify potential risks,
Installing Malware detection tool to perform periodic scans and detect vulnerability to the system entry and exit points,
Use of Information System Security Officer to constantly monitor the system.
Creating a policy to ensure that employee monitor threats,
Maintaining an understanding with employees about threats and threat activities;
Always assessing all security controls.

76). As automation increasingly assumes the more mundane and routine aspects of work of all types, Drucker was visionary in his assessment of how decisions would be made in the years to come. "In the future," said Drucker, "it was possible that all employment would be managerial in nature, and we would then have progressed from a society of labor to a society of management" (Witzel, p. 76).

Performance assessment is another important issue that arises in the book. Kerzner asserts that the performance of workers should be assessed for several reasons. One of the primary reasons for assessment is to determine both the mistakes and the successes
Strategic Staffing Plan to Human Resources Today there is a high need for recruitment of staff for nuclear power plants. It is not that new plants are being built, and there are now laws against building new nuclear power plants, but, the nuclear electrical energy is now facing a great challenge for the future. This is further realized from a new survey done by the Nuclear Energy Institute and that reinforces
