...Computer Information System Brief ACC 542 Professor Irene Branum November 7, 2011 Kudler Fine Foods Kudler Fine Foods, an upscale gourmet food store, was founded in 1995 by Kathy Kudler. Their original location started in La Jolla, but recent expansion has allowed them entry into two additional locations, Del Mar and Encinitas. Each location is approximately 8,000 square feet of retail space situated in a fashionable shopping plaza. The Kudler Company offers the highest quality products to its customers in gourmet foods and fine wines. Their merchandise selections, combined with their knowledgeable and accommodating staff, have contributed to Kudler’s reputation for excellent customer service and superior product offerings. This reputation has increased proprietor confidence in their continued success, and has also influenced the potential plans of Kudler to continue their expansion into additional markets (Kudler, 2010). Further expansion will require a detailed analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of Kudler’s operations, their current computer system, and their usage of technology. This brief is to identify if improvements are necessary, or if operations can continue for Kudler on their current and familiar basis. There is also a need to evaluate the current accounting practices and isolate potential weaknesses that may possibly obstruct Kudler’s growth opportunities and expansion objectives. In addition, this brief will help identify threats that Kudler may need...

...HCS/483 Medical Robots Healthcare, education and communications are ways that individuals can interact with computers, especially in healthcare areas. Computers and software are practically in every area of healthcare. An important role of computers is the increase of its capabilities, availabilities, and accuracies of information that is used in the support and development of our health care systems. Some remarkable changes have occurred in our health care systems due to computers. One such computer is a medical robot. To allow surgeons to have a better access to areas that are more precise and tedious, a medical robot can be used for these types of operations. Privacy risks With the use of medical robots, there are more chances of privacy risks. A health care robot will be monitoring a patient 24 hours a day, and all the information that is collected and stored can be at risk. The reason for privacy risks is that all information that is collected can or will be reported to other robots, human providers or health information technologies. Healthcare robots will have capabilities of connecting to other devices and this will mean the transference of personal data. Healthcare robots will have the need of being sure they are running and functioning properly and this can be an issue of privacy. When maintaining the operation of the healthcare robots they will have the need of technicians and data service providers. What this can entail is a potential...

...Information Security White Paper Why Security? The security of business information is the most important piece of a businesses infrastructure. Even in small operations, sensitive information that is essential to the business operations must be protected. "A survey by the computer security institute showed that one-third of all data breaches in just one year came at the expense of businesses with one hundred employees or less" (National Institute of Standards and Technology, 2009). What happens if you lose the most important information critical to your business operation? What would it cost your company to recover from an attack? How would you recover? These are all important questions to ask. Most likely your company's reputation would suffer, along with profits. In turn, any legal costs in relation to this security breach would be detrimental to your company’s financial health. Every business is required to have insurance, which might help with the aftermath of an attack, but it won't prevent an attack. Only information security is proactive in protecting your company's reputation and well being. Threats and Vulnerabilities The concept of threats and vulnerabilities are mentioned often in regards to computer security. A vulnerability is a weakness, or flaw, in a computer network that could be exploited. A threat is something that has the potential to cause harm to a computer, a network, or any sensitive...

...definition of Information Security is defined as “the protection of data itself.” Kim and Solomon (2012) Information Systems can be a combination of information technology and the people that support operations, management, and decision-making. Information Security, is the protection of information and information systems from unauthorized access, disclosure, use, disruption, modification, inspection, recording, or destruction. The terms Information Security, Computer Security, and Information Assurance are frequently used interchangeably. Although these terms are interrelated often and share the common goals of protecting the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information, there are some subtle differences between them. The differences lie primarily in the approach to the subject, the methodologies used and the areas of concentration. Information security is focused on the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data regardless of the form the data may take. While computer security focuses on ensuring the availability and correct operation of a computer system without concern for the information stored or processed by the computer. Governments, military, corporations, financial institutions, hospitals and private businesses amass a great deal of confidential information about their employees, customers, products, research, and financial status. Most of this information is now collected, processed and stored on electronic computers and transmitted across network...

...diagnoses especially those associated with terminal recurrent illnesses depend largely on the patient history. All the patient details therefore require a secure database and an appropriate filing mechanism. Initially, all these activities were performed manually or mechanically with the medical system relying on paper back files and manual diagnoses. These had a number of pitfalls given the dynamic nature of military operations. Soldiers keep moving from place to place depending on the security needs of the country and they will always need to have their medical services with them. Mechanical administration becomes cumbersome in such conditions with portage prove difficult. It also becomes difficult to keep a sequential filing system for references (Marion, Ball & Joan, 2004). Technological developments have revolutionized a number of sectors in the economy and the biggest beneficiaries include the information sector and the medical sector. The twenty first century witnessed a number of technological innovations some of which included the computer and the subsequent introduction of robotic surgery. The provision of health care services thus improved and the military therefore need to...
