Blog Entry 7.1 - IS Security

My compnay Web Design Inc. can be affected by all of the following threats. It can be affected by natural disasters because if i am updating the website and the power goes out i could lose alot of information. It can also be affected by outside intruders becuase if my passwords dont change daily hackers could figure it out easily. Also the website can be affected by viruses. If i do not run an anti-virus system daily viruses could hack into my hard drive and steal important documents as well as customers identitys. Our website also has links to other businesses and that leaves us at risk due to the electronic infromation sent back and forth could send viruses and such to our computers. Our employees can also cause problems if they try and access from home on a personal computer. The personal computer does not have all of the protection that we do on our main computer. We could get rid of these problems by putting up firewalls, encrypting our information being sent to other businesses and high risk documents, having deidicated employees, physical access restrictions, and audit-control software.
