Assignment

 Cloud policies are the rules or guidelines through which organizations operate. Often applied with the intention to make sure the integrity and privacy of company-owned data, cloud guidelines also can be used for monetary management, price optimization, performance control, and network safety. Cloud computing offers organizations some of benefits such as low charges, excessive performance, and the fast transport of offerings. However, without the implementation and enforcement of cloud guidelines, businesses can be uncovered to the risks of records loss, spiraling fees, and underperforming property. 

W4. Discussion

Many business environments have both visible and invisible physical security controls. You see them at the post office, at the corner store, and in certain areas of your own computing environment. They are so pervasive that some people choose where they live based on their presence, as in gated access communities or secure apartment complexes. Alison is a security analyst for a major technology corporation that specializes in data management. This company includes an in house security staff (guards, administrators, and so on) that is capable of handling physical security breaches. Brad experienced an intrusion—into his personal vehicle in the company parking lot. He asks Alison whether she observed or recorded anyone breaking into and entering his vehicle, but this is a personal item and not a company possession, and she has no control or regulation over damage to employee assets. This is understandably unnerving for Brad, but he understands that she’s protecting the business and not his belongings.

When or where would you think it would be necessary to implement security measures for both?

Case Study Analysis

 Read through this description of an actual case and conduct a full analysis of the case study with the attached document.

  • A defense contractor would be expected to take security very seriously, and this company, we will call it Department of Optional Defense (DooD), was diligent about security in every way. The physical location had round-the-clock guards and they had state of the art network security. Their customers require very stringent security measures, including rotating their physical security guards every 6 months. DooD contracted with a third-party company to provide the regularly changing security guards and had requirements for background checks for all assigned security guards. 
  • One of the contracted guards had been on the job for about 2 months when he started bringing his personal laptop to the job. He would hook it up to the company network and tell people that he was studying for his accounting degree at an online school. If someone walked by, they would see spreadsheets and numbers on his laptop and think he was just doing his homework.
  • The guard was well-liked and no one noticed that he was actually hacking into the CFO’s network traffic and he ended up gaining access to online banking IDs, PINs, and transaction information that the CFO had exchanged with the staff. Exploiting weaknesses in the IT infrastructure for the company, the guard was able to initiate bank transfers using the stolen data to multiple accounts. Each payment was fairly high, but not quite high enough to arouse suspicion. The guard was able to maintain his covert theft until his 6-month rotation was over and he was transferred to another company.
  • It was only after the guard had left DooD was it discovered that there had been multiple payments to outside accounts to the tune of a few million dollars. An external auditing company requested more information about these transfers from the CFO, and there was no further information. It took a full investigation well over a year to finally track the guilty guard and bring charges against him. 
  • The investigation found that there were multiple IT-related mistakes. First, IT policies did not require strong pass-phrases from all employees for all transactions. Second, the guard was allowed to connect a personal computer to the network. Access policies should have detected the intrusion and blocked access immediately. Third, there was no system administrative command oversight that would have been able to detect internal hacking. Multiple types of evidence were gathered and analyzed in order to determine the guilty party and the multiple security breaches.
