IT Security
A major challenging impacting employers, is having a comprehensive security plan that will safeguard the personal information of their clients and employees. While at the same time, it must be able to streamline the different administrative and technical functions. The result is that firms must develop and update their strategies to deal with the changing nature of the threats they are facing. To fully understand how they are able to achieve these objectives requires focusing on the data security coordinator, internal risks, external risks, external threats and data protection. Together, these elements will illustrate which factors are most important and the way an organization can mitigate them over the long-term. (Oz, 2009) (Sousa, 2014) (Veiga, 2007)
Data Security Coordinator
To be more effective, all firms must introduce a proactive approach that deals with possible challenges early and utilize their experiences to enable the organization to achieve critical objectives. While at the same time, they have to be capable of understanding and addressing key areas of resistance through a hybrid model. The implementation will focus on rolling out new solutions within a 6-month timeframe. During this time, employees will be provided with initial and continuing training. Testing will involve consultants testing...
The service providers will work with this individual to understand what is most important to them and deal with these issues early. (Oz, 2009) (Sousa, 2014) (Veiga, 2007)
Internal Risks
Internally, there will be a series of checks and balances to prevent breaches from rouge employees. This means that the passwords will be changed every 60 days. There will be restricted access to the most sensitive information based upon a series of firewalls. The records will require entering three different user names and passwords to access them. Any unusual activities will be reported to data security coordinator. They will isolate and analyze the nature of the threats. Terminated employees will not have access to company platforms (via a suspension of their clearance). (Oz, 2009) (Sousa, 2014) (Veiga, 2007)
External Risks
To prevent breaches a series of firewalls will be interconnected. This will prevent hackers from accessing information by going through one security protocol. The data files will be encrypted when they are viewed and transmitted. At the same time, the IT strategy addresses authentication procedures through determining where the network is accessed and who it is. The controls will monitor who accesses various parts based upon varying levels of clearance. (Oz, 2009)…

Qualitative Data ManagementIntroductionQualitative research can lead to results that are rich in content, but it is also a process often characterized by extensive amounts of data, and conclusions drawn from a narrative that is subjective in nature (Silverman, 2016). Levine's (1985) perspective on the need for a systematic approach to managing such data highlights an important aspect of how one should conduct qualitative research. This paper examines the issues can
Network Security Controls and Issues The many challenges of network security can be understood by realizing who needs access to the network itself. Access to secure networks should be accompanied by a certain need or reason by a person who has the authority to view, manipulate or reproduce information and data contained within that network. Access problems arise when there are no clear boundaries or guidelines as to who should have
