Fighting Cyber Terrorism - Where Do I Sign Up? The only knowledge that we need to be imparted with is to know that every critical system is secured from these cyber terrorists. We need to know that these types of detrimental acts will never happen to us. We need to know that we can live without the fear of a full-scale infrastructure network disruption. Unfortunately, at this point and time, I don't have that knowledge. It's clear that this country, and others, have a long way to go to fully prepare and defend against a major electronic attack. I believe that the government and the private sector are starting to realize the importance of a good cyber defense. The events of the past month have changed all of our lives. Perhaps some of us are ready to join this fight against these cyber criminals? I know I am.

Responsibilities of the "small shop" in a post 11 Sept world Before examining the new frame of reference and answering the question, some context should be established. The phrase "small shop" may have different meanings to different people. In order to explain the phrase as used here a couple of examples would be; an at home DSL user with one or more machines, or a group with a limited IT staff, or just contractors, and a full time Internet connection. Even with 30 users, 1 admin and about 300 occupied IPs I consider my own organization a small shop. No matter what type of small shop is used as a reference though, most people would probably agree the issues and problems faced by the small shop are significantly different than those faced by their larger counterparts. The notable exception should be when it comes to computer security.

Addressing and Implementing Computer Security for a Small Branch Office Implementing security measures and security awareness for a small branch office raises a different set of questions and provide some unique challenges than when one is implementing security for central or main location. Who determines the security policy? How is the policy enforced? Who implements the security? Local staff? Staff from the main site? Is it outsourced? In a location with different organizational units represented, who determines the cost of not providing security? There is no "one size fits all" solution. It is important to understand the issues and work within the organizational structure to develop awareness and policies that will comply with the global requirements of the organization while permitting the remotely located staff to work efficiently and effectively.

Protecting the Network without Breaking the Bank Network security has been getting a lot more attention lately due to the news media reporting on Viruses, network attacks, and hackers. I even heard the term "scriptkiddy" on the National News recently. That makes it a little easier for Security Professionals to get managers to give us some time and resources to do our jobs, but the high cost of securing a Network may drive managers to look for ways to outsource Network Security instead of using available resources. In most instances, readily available tools can be acquired with little or no cost to enable a security professional to do an effective job of securing a network without spending the entire IT budget. Most businesses allow 2-3% of their budget for IT cost, and that has to include security. If you can give the business a secure network without breaking the IT budget, then MAYBE their will be more left for raises-but don't bet on it.

Protecting Sensitive Data in Secure Domains The basic idea of Secure Domains is to move parts of the network into secure zones, either based on the classification of the data or their being part of a project that can be centralized in a specific zone and are considered as sensitive. Only the application and the data are moved, the users remain on the company network and are able to access the application through protocols like ICA or X11, which only provides the user with a virtual workspace or a display output from the started applications. If we move sensitive data from our corporate network to secure domains, we can achieve an increased security at several levels against both External and Internal threats.

An Overview of Computer Security as Told Through War Stories A computer is secure if you can depend upon it and its software to perform, as you would expect. To put it another way, a secure computer ensures that the information that you have saved will be accessible to you when you need it; and this information will remain unread and unaltered by any unauthorized party. These two statements are like an executive summary of a larger more complex picture. The primary colors of this picture are confidentiality, integrity, and availability. In this case, confidentiality is control over who is supposed to read your information. Integrity is control over who may modify or alter your information. Availability is the accessibility of your information on your time schedule.

Comparison of Three Online Privacy Seal Programs The purpose of this practical is to provide evidence as to why companies should be concerned with consumer privacy and to compare three organizations' third-party assurance privacy certification programs. The three organizations that will be compared are TRUSTe, BBBOnLine and WebTrust. Why should companies be concerned with privacy? Companies should be concerned with privacy because consumers are concerned with privacy.
