If not, what other recommendations would you make to Harold? Explain your reasons for each of recommendations.
No, the actions that were taken by Harold are not adequate. The reason why, is because he has created an initial foundation for protecting sensitive information. However, over the course of time the nature of the threat will change. This could have an impact on his business, as these procedures will become ineffective. Once this occurs, it means that it is only a matter of time until Harold will see an increase in the number of cyber attacks. At first, these procedures will help to prevent hackers from accessing the company's files. Then, as time goes by they will be able to overcome his defenses. This increases the chances that he will see some kind of major disruptions because of these issues. ("Security Policies," n.d, pp. 281 -- 302) ("Computer-Based Espionage," n.d, pp. 365 -- 391)
The recommendations for Harold include: creating different backup systems and constantly monitoring for new threats. Creating different backup systems is when you are establishing other security protocols. They are serving as a failsafe, in the event that...
This will help to isolate the threat and limit the kinds of information that they will have access to. ("Security Policies," n.d, pp. 281 -- 302) ("Computer-Based Espionage," n.d, pp. 365 -- 391)
Constantly monitoring for new threats is when you are: looking for unusual activity or anything that can be suspicious. In this case, you would look at: the traffic patterns, the number of visitors to the site and the logs. This will help you to determine if there is anything unusual. Once this occurs, you can isolate the threat and make any kind adjustments to the various security procedures. These different recommendations are important, because if they are used consistently they will help Harold to adapt to the various threats that are emerging. In many ways, one could argue that this is one of the keys in being able to: prevent a cyber attack and the possible loss of sensitive information.

European Union's Holistic Security Policy in One of Its Neighboring Regions The objective of this study is to critique the European Union's 'holistic security policy' in its neighboring region or that of Eastern Europe, Ukraine, Russian and Belarus and to analyze this region from different perspectives including economic, political, and traditional military power. The European Security Strategy is based upon "a comprehensive or holistic approach to security" and states that
(Gartenberg, 2005) Like all other aspects of business today, security systems often prove to be highly complex and hard (even for the participants) to identify. The culture of an organization is like the culture of a family, a community, or a nation: Because it surrounds the people in it they often have a great deal of difficulty in recognizing to what extent policies and procedures arise from the constraints of culture
Security Management The role of a security manager varies widely according to the particular organization and its needs, but despite this variety, there remain certain best practices and policies that can help maintain security and stability. This is nowhere more true than in the case of organizational loss, because while loss can mean widely different things depending on the field, the underlying theoretical concepts which inform attempts to minimize loss are
They need to know what their responsibilities are not only as individuals but also as team members and corporate employees. David cites an excerpt from a corporate security document that illustrates his point: "A security policy serves many functions. It is a central document that describes in detail acceptable network activity and penalties for misuse. A security policy also provides a forum for identifying and clarifying security goals and
The negative aspect of the matter however, is the limited breakthroughs made at the practical level, as most discussions end in declarative aims, yet no timeline for an actual implementation of them. On the one hand, the European Union did not present itself as very willing to offer economic incentives and aid to the ailing Russian Federation, and on the other hand, Russian opposition forces who argue against a
The reality is however that legacy systems pose the greatest potential risk to any enterprise, as these platforms are anachronistic in terms of security support, lack many common safeguards, and don't have the necessary Application Programmer Interfaces (APIs) to scale globally as a secured platform (Gupta, Roth, 2007). Legacy systems were designed in an era where single authentication for an entire enterprise system was sufficient enough, and the concept
