...GIAC Enterprises Security Controls Implementation Plan Group Discussion and Written Project John Hally, Erik Couture 08/07/2011 GIAC Enterprises – Security Controls Implementation Plan Table of Contents Executive Summary Introduction Security Controls Implementation Plan Incident Response Weekend Plan Conclusions References 3 3 4 6 9 9 2 GIAC Enterprises – Security Controls Implementation Plan Executive Summary The cyber-threat landscape has evolved significantly in recent years. From primarily a threat of denial of service and website vandalism in years past, to the currently advanced and well resourced adversaries employing complex technologies to achieve financial and political benefit. At GIAC Enterprises, we have observed huge increases in suspicious network activity directed at our corporate networks, sometimes even targeting key individuals. Due to the huge global increase in demand for fortune cookie messages, it is reasonable to expect that this undesired attention will only increase in the coming months and years as cyber-criminals and possibly corporate spies attempt to closely monitor our business activities and steal vital business information. This paper presents the recommendations of the tiger team, which was recently formed, with the goals of: 1. Developing a strategy for the implementation of the SANS Top 20 Security Controls, and in particular the creation of an incident response capability; and 2. Identifying and eradicating any possible...

...THE IMPORTANCE OF TRANSACTIONAL LEADERSHIP IN SPORTS Coaches as the most important success factors utilize different leadership styles in orienting sport teams. If we consider sport teams as an organization and its members as the staff of an organization, in that case, the coaches play the role of managers and orient a team. Furthermore, one of their duties besides planning is to deploy players and control their performance and perform leadership. Confirming this ideal, Chelladurai (2001) and Kolaric, (2005) believe that coaches play the role of managers and they are supposed to do similar duties as managers do. The style which is displayed by coaches in leadership; according to most of researchers performed on effective coaches indicate the rate of their influence on performance, behaviour and ideal psychological performance (such as motivation, satisfaction and commitment) of sportsmen on one side and team integration on the other. Being an athlete most of my life I have been exposed to many transactional leaders in the form of coaches. The best example would be my current cricket coach because he relies on small goals to achieve a larger goal, top the national south championship. As the coach his role as a leader was to push us to our limits and slightly beyond, and he achieved this phenomenon by forcing us to set short and long term goals individually as well as for the team. By having individuals write down our personal goals my coach could hold us accountable...

...Psychological Considerations and Sociological Effects The invention of wireless technology has given as society a new way to communicate. With people now dependent on being able to communicate where ever they are in the world to another person wireless technology is not going away. Good or bad it is here to stay so we will have to so we will have to continue to monitor the effects With wireless technology being relatively new we do not have all the information we will need to see the effects it is having on peoples psychological conditions and the effect it will have on the society overall. We are now just starting to see the effects it is having on teens and the way they interact in our society. Many mental issues are already being tied to wireless technology. One of the reasons for this is that the artificial light from smart phones and tablets affects the melatonin production in the body and throws off circadian rhythms. This prevents the body from getting a deep sleep the body depends on for restoration. With this lack of sleep, people tend to have a higher stress level and have depression. These things increase with the use of heavy use of technology including wireless devices. This affects men more than women but the real problem is teens. Teens tend to use wireless technology more than adults leading to early types of depression and stress which will have a more of a long turn effect on their health. Not only is wireless technology...

...HSM 542 Health Finance You Decide: Week 6 February 11, 2015 As the Chief Financial Officer is important to look for ways to improve cash flow and patient intake within Community Memorial Hospital. In light of the new information that was given from Bill Jacobs, the Human Resource Director at Commercial Intertech (CI), about the contract signed with MegaPlan Health. Community Memorial Hospital is not on MegaPlan Health’s Preferred Provider Network (PPN), and could potentially lose out on 9,000 patients in total from CI, without becoming a preferred provider. To become a preferred provider with MegaPlan Health, there are many prerequisites it requires within the contract upon signing. There are many qualms that have come up from this new contract being signed. The Chief of Staff stated that one-third of his patients come from CI, and if we do not sign the contract with MegaPlan Health, he plans on leaving our hospital. Our CEO has a great idea, to create our own counter-contract proposal in order to help keep some of our own practices in effect. According to our Business Office Manager, we cannot work with MegaPlan. She has worked with them in a different hospital and they make it impossible for claims to get approved, and when they are approved they are wrong. One of our CNO’s stated that we need to sign the contract with MegaPlan because our people will panic and we will potentially lose some of our best nurses. I believe that it would be the best to follow...

...Chapter 2 - Database System Concepts and Architecture Data Models, Schemas and Instances A characteristic of the database approach is that it provides a level of data abstraction, by hiding details of data storage that are not needed by most users. A data model is a collection of concepts that can be used to describe the structure of a database. The model provides the necessary means to achieve the abstraction. The structure of a database is characterized by data types, relationships, and constraints that hold for the data. Models also include a set of operations for specifying retrievals and updates. Data models are changing to include concepts to specify the behaviour of the database application. This allows designers to specify a set of user defined operations that are allowed. Categories of Data Models Data models can be categorized in multiple ways. • High level/conceptual data models – provide concepts close to the way users perceive the data. • Physical data models – provide concepts that describe the details of how data is stored in the computer. These concepts are generally meant for the specialist, and not the end user. • Representational data models – provide concepts that may be understood by the end user but not far removed from the way data is organized. Conceptual data models use concepts such as entities, attributes and relationships. • Entity – represents a real world object or concept • Attribute - represents...
