Assignment:
The purpose of the Discussion Board is to allow students to learn through sharing ideas and experiences as they relate to course content and the DB question. Because it is not possible to engage in two-way dialogue after a conversation has ended, no posts to the DB will be accepted after the end of each unit.
Assume that you have been asked to consult for a company that has branch offices in four continents. You have implemented a management information system that will enable its managers to exchange information about various company activities in the areas of marketing, sales, HR, finance, and administration. As part of the implementation process, you are required to make a recommendation on the types of security measures that should be taken with implementation of this system.
Write 4-6 paragraphs responding to the following questions:
• What are some of the potential security threats to managing information related to these activities across multiple locations?
• What strategies or tools could be used to minimize these types of threats upon implementing a system in this situation?
Suggestions for Responding Peer Posts
• Review a peer's post that has mentioned some different security threats than the ones that you selected.
• Had you considered these threats as well?
• Do the strategies or tools her or she recommended make sense given the potential risks?
• What additional measures could be taken to deter the threats he or she proposed?
