Sec 280

Class: SEC280

It has come to my attention as head security officer that our server may be in danger of shortcoming and vulnerability. It is important to protect our secure not only physically but virtually. Now a day everyone has a computer or a means of how to get to the internet. There are hacker whiling and ready to destroy our system server just for the well of it. As a moderately big company we need to ensure our customer information is safe and secure form any one with bad intentions. Otherwise we will gain a very bad reputation, and loss a lot of customer. With losing such said customers we will also be left unemployed.

Physically we need to make sure that our facility is more secure from intruders. If someone walked in and kicked it, or wet it, or even altered information in our server the company would all be lost. Only a trained IT or an authorized employee should have physical access to the servers.

We also need to encrypt our drives, and are always up to date. By encrypting our drives we will have to worry less, because if it was to get lost or stolen no one would be able to read or understand it. By keeping everything updated we avoid any holes or errors that have been recently fixed.

A good anti-virus is very important to have also. A strong anti-virus keeps the network running smoothly by updating virus signatures from any computer running on our network. Keeping us always ahead of the game. We also need to be in control of our file access. We need to control who can access what. For example no one user should ever have 100% control or access to all the file, because they can tamper with them and or corrupt the information.

We need to be more aware of any potential danger. So that we can better prepared to secure our servers. For our company depends on them and could fall very easily, if any information is stolen or tampered with. We need to be our companied future and the future of our clients.
