Disaster Recovery and IT Continuity
Over the last several years, the issue of disaster recovery has been increasingly brought to the forefront. This is because both manmade (i.e. terrorism / cyber attacks) and natural disasters can create tremendous amounts of disruption to IT infrastructure. The result is that the entire area can be completely cutoff and unable to communicate with the outside world. (Sousa, 2014)
In many cases, everyone is relying on IT-based solutions to meet critical objectives, reduce collateral damage and restore services back to normal. To achieve these larger benchmarks requires focusing on access control. This is when access is provided to select individuals who have the appropriate levels of clearance to access select amounts of information. (Sousa, 2014)
Recently, these challenges are becoming more pronounced with rouge organizations engaging in them to steal and sell sensitive information. This is problematic, as it has the potential to create widespread disruptions and the loss of confidence in the firm. To deal with these challenges requires developing an effective DR / BCP strategy. Together, these elements will illustrate how the organization can mitigate and address these issues well into the future. (Sousa, 2014)

This individual will have the responsibility for monitoring sudden changes in the organization's band width and attacks that will try to breach various firewalls which are interconnected. Throughout the process, they will work with staff members to address both internal and external threats. (Veiga, 2007)
Internally, there are a number of checks and balances to prevent former / rouge employees from gaining access to sensitive information. This means that they will test the backup systems regularly and change the password every 90 days. To gain access to any information, everyone will be required to enter four different user names and passwords. Any kind of unusual activity will be flagged and sent to the Data Security Coordinator for review. This will isolate and prevent any kind of threats from spreading. In the event of an actual attack, the backup system will be used to reboot the information and ensure that the organization can continue to function normally. (Veiga, 2007)
Externally, the information will be encrypted and all of the firewalls will be interconnected. At the same time, the system will determine where files are accessed and which individuals are involved. In the event there is a breach, access will be restricted to select personal. The backup system will…

Safeguarding Health Information: The Importance of Cybersecurity in Healthcare Introduction In today's digital age, the healthcare industry faces unprecedented challenges in ensuring the security and confidentiality of patient information. With the increasing reliance on electronic health records (EHRs) and interconnected medical devices, the need for robust cybersecurity measures in healthcare has never been more critical. Cybersecurity in healthcare refers to the practice of protecting electronic health information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure,
The operating system faced these issues due to the lackluster approach from Apple to patch their software in time. As a result, it led to risking the data of personal users. It shows that irregularities in the patching of computers affected users adversely without any fault of their own (Daily Tech, 2012). In addition to that, the operating system of Apple is now considered as one of the most favored
The level and sophistication of this attack on the Department of Defense's systems suggests that professionals conducted this attack with significant resources at their disposal and an interest in the national security secrets of the United States. The data mining operation was so successful that, while detected, still managed to make-off with a significant amount of information. Since the attack, the United States responded in a number of critical ways.
