Assignment: Securing a Personal Computer

You should be pretty familiar with some of the ways we can prepare a computer against attack. Consider the things you've learned about the ways attackers might attempt to compromise a computer.

Requirements:

Create a brief policy document for an organization such as a hospital. This policy document should:

Use a policy and procedure templet

• Select and categorize the ways an attack on a workstation can occur
• specify at least three required steps that a worker should take to secure a personal computer.
• provide at least three other suggestions for worker behaviors that will ensure computer security.
• be-2 pages in length, double-spaced,
• be free of spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors.

We will be discussing attacks, threats, and vulnerabilities. If you work at a job that involves the use of computers, what has your experience been? Have you received "phishing" emails? Have you or a coworker clicked on a link in such an email, exposing your organization to a virus? Has a fellow employee ever lost an ID badge, flash drives, or even a laptop? Have you ever witnessed someone leaving their password on a sticky note on their desk, or verbally sharing it with another employee? Does your organization have a disaster recovery plan? Does your organization utilize sniffer software to detect intrusion? These are just a few examples of ways organizations can be vulnerable, or can protect themselves.

Now is a good time to find a good POLICY AND PROCEDURE TEMPLATE to use throughout the class - and use the same P&P Template throughout the whole class.
