...perhaps the most decisive turning point in the history of the country of Russia. While the NEP system was not formally repudiated, official policies increasingly came to contradicts fundamental assumptions. The first five year plan (1928-1933) could be construed as a general success even though it did have its moment of failure. The first five year plan was introduced in Russia in an attempt to catch up with the more advanced west. As Stalin said 'We are fifty or a hundred years behind the advanced countries. We must make good this distance in ten years.' The focus of the first five year plan on heavy industry made huge strides in modernising industry and increasing output, in that 'Coal, iron, and the generation of electrical power all increased in huge proportion’s and Russia felt it could compete again on a scale with its western rivals. However, despite overarching economic development, many of the targets set by central panning didn't consider the quality of products or waste of materials and on reflection, highlight a number of fundamental flaws in the measurement of success of the first five year plan. Stalin's idea of collectivisation forced the peasants to move to a commune, share the livestock and equipment whilst having to give the government their share of the revenue. 'The government figured that new technology and new farming machines, would allow mass production of food without the large amount of workers that was needed before'. Collectivisation was therefore...

...New Policy Statements for the Heart-Healthy Information Security Policy New User Policy Statement The current New Users section of the policy states: “New users are assigned access based on the content of an access request. The submitter must sign the request and indicate which systems the new user will need access to and what level of access will be needed. A manager’s approval is required to grant administrator level access.” There are procedures for creating new user account profiles. HIPPA requires that an Information Security Officer (ISO) must be assigned to the network account profiles. This appointed person(s) is usually the network or system security administrator of the organization. Once this role is assigned, the security administrator can create network profiles and assign the new user to such specified profile. The network profiles are implemented in accordance with least privilege access. This means that data intended for use will only be available to the specified profile. This method protects the privacy of the data during transmission. This process complies with the 4 standard Federal regulatory requirements stated in this policy: FISMA, HIPAA/HITECH, GLBA, and PCI-DSS. Once the network account profiles are created, a new user is created and assigned. To implement a strong access control measure, a unique user identifier must be assigned to the new user account. Before the new user account is activated, the network or security administrator will need to...

...Heart-Healthy Insurance is in need of an improved new user and password policy in order to become HIPPA, GLBA, and PCI-DSS compliant. I propose the following changes to the current policies: New User Policy Each user of this system will be given a unique username so we are able to track their use of the system, including the logging of their activities with timestamps in order to trace any and all activity on our network. Also new users will be given access based on the rule of least privilege. This rule states the only rights a user will be granted are the rights and privileges they need to complete their individual work. All requests for the creation of new user accounts or to increase the level of access of an existing user must be submitted in writing by a member of the management team. This document must include which systems and levels of access the new user requires or the new level of access needed for the existing user account. If an upper level of access is requested management must include a brief statement as to why this user needs an elevated level of access. In addition to these changes if a users status changes, i.e. they are terminated or voluntarily leave the company, they will be immediately removed from the authorized users database. Password Policy The new policy that will be put in place for all passwords, including existing passwords, will be as follows: * Cannot contain username * Must contain 3 uppercase letters * Must contain 3 lowercase...

Specifically the HIPAA Security Rule which “establishes national standards to protect individuals’ electronic personal health information that is created, received, used, or maintained by a covered entity” (HHS, n.d.). Password complexity is supported by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) specifically NIST Special Publication 800-171.

In addition, the new user will have to sign an Acceptable Use Policy which will detail the limitations and expectation of utilizing company information systems, prior to being allowed access to any information system.” Reason for Change: Change 1: The original policy made user permissions...

To conduct their service, the company continuously collects enormous amounts of personal and non-personal information then distributes it throughout Facebook and Facebook affiliated sites. This is great because it helps individuals in their searching process, creates exposure to ads for products and services that individuals actually want to purchase, allows for people to remain connected and in the know, etc. However, this paper is going to delve deeper into what Facebook’s privacy and security policies include, what kind of user information is being collected, and how it is being used Formally known Privacy Policy: Revised on September 23rd, 2011 and again on March 15th, 2012, the privacy policy is now referred to as the Data Use Policy which supposedly makes it easier for users to understand the terms and condition. Moreover, Facebook is constantly updating the new Data Use Policy with the last update being on May 11th, 2012. The last updates were in reference to the Privacy section of the policy where it better explains “how it uses technologies such as cookies to deliver ads” and how Facebook has “given itself more leeway on how long it keeps information it collects”. What the policy is saying is Facebook and other companies Facebook sells personal user information to will use any technology available to advertise...

...Security Policy Cyberlaw, Regulations, and Compliance – TFT2 Task 1 Introduction: Heart-Healthy Insurance is currently evaluating their current security policy and have requested some changes to the policy concerning adding new users and the password requirements for the users. The end goal of the requested changes is to satisfy several compliance regulations that are required by law for their business. The regulations that need to be considered are: 1. PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) 2. HIPAA (Health Insurance Privacy and Portability Act) 3. GLBA (Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act) 4. HITECH (Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act) 5. HHS (US. Department of Health and Human Services) New Users: The current directive for new users from the standing security policy states: “New users are assigned access based on the content of an access request. The submitter must sign the request and indicate which systems the new user will need access to and what level of access will be needed. A manager’s approval is required to grant administrator level access.” In evaluating the current policy this standard creates a lot of overhead and administration works for the users and the admins. The new users who are not already familiar with the systems must provide a list of machines that they require access too. Being so new they may not know all of the systems they would need on a day to day basis. This also rolls over...

The public parameter is generated in the setup phase using all the user’s attribute values. When a user leaves, first step is to update the public parameter PK. In order to keep the public parameter up to date, the version number of the public parameter is updated.
