Explain why you are recommending these policies and how they would be maintained as well as monitored. I would configure the local, event log, and restricted group policies. I recommend these settings because they cover the ownership, security and accessibility of the files, as well many other features. I would maintain them by using the Computer Configuration Group Policy Refresh Interval to keep the settings established. 3. Describe how implementing fine grained passwords would be beneficial to the DCH Corporation. What options would you recommend for implementation and how would they be configured? Implementing fine grain passwords would be beneficial to corporation, because you can apply stricter settings to privileged accounts and less strict settings to the accounts of other users.

...Administrative Ethics Paper The article chosen was from fox news published on June 25 is about how two girls with very fair skin where not allowed to apply sun screen to their skin before a school field day because there was not doctors not present. The staff commented that the girls were getting burned but nothing could be done because of state and school policy. The district administrator stated “Some of the ingredients in sun screen can cause allergic reaction sin some children.” Not being able to apply sunscreen to the children, who both had very fair skin, led to the girls having to be taken to the emergency room in Tacoma, Washington. The girls both sustained second degree burns on their faces and body. The mother is outraged because the staff recognized the signs that the children were getting sunburned but because of the school policy there was nothing they could do for the children. (Fox news, 2012) This issue is one for every person with children in public schools with the exception for the state of California where it is ok for children to apply sunscreen to themselves. The nation is told hundreds of times a day about the risks of skin cancer and ageing caused by sun exposure and if children are going to be out in the sun they need to have sunscreen applied and applied often. For many allowing this to occur in our schools is a form of neglect. Most school districted policies do not allow children to bring any medication on the school grounds without a doctor’s note....

...Hana Laplant 4/12/12 Unit 4 Assignment 1&2 Enhance an existing it security policy framework Security policy planners must consider and the tasks they must complete to deploy an effective security audit policy in a network that includes computers running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2. Organizations invest a large portion of their information technology budgets on security applications and services, such as antivirus software, firewalls, and encryption. But no matter how much security hardware or software you deploy, how tightly you control the rights of users, or carefully you configure security permissions on your data, you should not consider the job complete unless you have a well-defined, timely auditing strategy to track the effectiveness of your defenses and identify attempts to circumvent them. To be well defined and timely, an auditing strategy must provide useful tracking data on an organization's most important resources, critical behaviors, and potential risks. In a growing number of organizations, it must also provide absolute proof that IT operations comply with corporate and regulatory requirements. Unfortunately, no organization has unlimited resources to monitor every single resource and activity on a network. If you do not plan well enough, you will likely have gaps in your auditing strategy. However, if you try to audit every resource and activity, you may find yourself with far too much monitoring data, including thousands of benign audit...
