CHAPTER 1 - PROFESSIONAL ISSUES (Lecture 1.2).pptRogerPrimo2
The document discusses several ethical and social issues related to information systems, including privacy, intellectual property, accountability and liability, system quality, and health risks. It notes that privacy is protected by the US Constitution but challenged by technologies like cookies, web bugs, and spyware. Intellectual property is defended by copyright, patents, and trade secrets but digital media pose new challenges. System quality and data quality issues can lead to failures, while computerization affects work-life balance and dependence on technology.
The ICT policy outlines how the organization's ICT strategy will be implemented through covering areas like training, security, and procurement. It is important policies are regularly reviewed to ensure they still meet organizational objectives. The policy also discusses conducting training during employee inductions, when new hardware/software is introduced, or when new legislation is enacted. Monitoring of training would be done by the HR department.
Disaster Recovery & Data Backup StrategiesSpiceworks

The United Nations uses a risk management process that involves assessing the criticality of programs to balance security risks. It uses a risk matrix to determine risk levels and requires a program criticality assessment for activities with high or very high residual risks. The assessment evaluates the contribution of activities to strategic results and their likelihood of implementation against criteria to designate them as Priority 1 activities that are lifesaving or directed by the Secretary-General. Risk level and program criticality are determined separately without consideration of each other.
Secure by Design - Security Design Principles for the Working ArchitectEoin Woods
As our world becomes digital, the systems we build must be secure by design. The security community has developed a well-understood set of principles used to build systems that are secure (or at least securable) by design, but this topic often isn’t included in the training of software developers. And when the principles are explained, they are often shrouded in the jargon of the security engineering community, so mainstream developers struggle to understand and apply them.
This talk explains why secure design matters and introduces 10 of the most important proven principles for designing secure systems, distilled from the wisdom of the security engineering community.
