Wireless Networking Security Policy.

Networks provide the blood flow for the computing environment and must be managed efficiently around the clock. Networks are typically composed of hundreds or even thousands of miles of data arteries and veins. Each network component is designed to ensure that information continues to flow efficiently to all consumers. Note that the burden of maintaining this vital IT resource is left to the network administrators.

One important aspect of network security is having company policies in place that address all aspects of information security.  It is recommended that businesses create usage policy statements that outline users’ roles and responsibilities with regard to security.

You just started at Nitro Hardware Company as the Chief Information Officer. Nitro Hardware is a small family company that employs about 50 people. You check your IPhone and notice that the hardware company has several wireless access points that are not password protected. There are currently no network security policies in place.

 

Your first priority is to create a Wireless Networking Security policy for the company. This policy should provide the general user community with an understanding of the security policy, its purpose, guidelines for improving their security practices, and definitions of their security responsibilities. If the company has identified specific actions that could result in punitive or disciplinary actions against an employee, these actions and how to avoid them should be clearly articulated in this document.

Suggest at least five expected business benefits that a company might derive from a new system.

Especially for You Jewelers is a small jewelry company in a college town. Over the last couple of years, it has experienced a tremendous increase in its business. However, its financial performance has not kept pace with its growth. The current system, which is partly manual and partly automated, doesn’t track accounts receivables sufficiently, and the company is finding it difficult to determine the reasons why the receivables are so high. The company runs frequent specials to attract customers but has no idea whether these efforts are profitable or if the benefit—if there is one—comes from associated sales. Especially for You Jewelers wants to increase repeat sales to its existing customers; thus, it needs to develop a customer database. It also wants to install a new direct sales and accounting system to help solve the outlined problems.

 

 

 

The new direct sales and accounting system for Especially for You Jewelers will be an important element in the growth and success of the jewelry company. The direct sales portion must track every sale, be able to link to the inventory system for cost data, and provide a daily profit and loss report. The customer database must be able to produce purchase histories to assist management in preparing special mailings and special sales to existing customers. Detailed credit balances and aged accounts for each customer would help to solve the problem with the high balance of accounts receivables. Special notice letters and credit history reports would help management reduce accounts receivable.
