INFORMATION SECURITY SYNTHESIS IN ONLINE UNIVERSITIES IJNSA Journal
Information assurance is at the core of every initiative that an organization executes. For online universities, a common and complex initiative is maintaining user lifecycle and providing seamless access using one identity in a large virtual infrastructure. To achieve information assurance the management of user privileges affected by events in the user’s identity lifecycle needs to be the determining factor for access control. While the implementation of identity and access management systems makes this initiative feasible, it is the construction and maintenance of the infrastructure that makes it complex and challenging. The objective of this paper1 is to describe the complexities, propose a practical approach to building a foundation for consistent user experience and realizing security synthesis in online universities.

Security issues and framework of electronic medical record: A reviewjournalBEEI
The electronic medical record has been more widely accepted due to its unarguable benefits when compared to a paper-based system. As electronic medical record becomes more popular, this raises many security threats against the systems. Common security vulnerabilities, such as weak authentication, cross-site scripting, SQL injection, and cross-site request forgery had been identified in the electronic medical record systems. To achieve the goals of using EMR, attaining security and privacy is extremely important. This study aims to propose a web framework with inbuilt security features that will prevent the common security vulnerabilities in the electronic medical record. The security features of the three most popular and powerful PHP frameworks Laravel, CodeIgniter, and Symfony were reviewed and compared. Based on the results, Laravel is equipped with the security features that electronic medical record currently required. This paper provides descriptions of the proposed conceptual framework that can be adapted to implement secure EMR systems.

Abstract
Everyone between employees, departments, and the institution themselves are responsible when it
comes to ensuring the security and confidentiality of organization information. Thus, an organization needs
to have a document detailing constraints or practices that the individuals should agree to for them to
access the corporate internet and network. Therefore, acceptable use policies are essential for a business,
and the use of IT equipment, information and security, particularly when it comes to using emails, internet,
and computer equipment. The policies are therefore designed to help and facilitate employees and other
authorized individuals while they perform their work. The acceptable internet policies play a crucial role in
determining the strategies employed in communication using the World Wide Web. Proper directions are
given to the members of an organization concerning its use. The reason for this policy is to obtain proper
use and behavior for TIK_IT ltd IT systems and to protect the rights and privacy of all employees and the

Abstract
Everyone between employees, departments, and the institution themselves are responsible when it
comes to ensuring the security and confidentiality of organization information. Thus, an organization needs
to have a document detailing constraints or practices that the individuals should agree to for them to
access the corporate internet and network. Therefore, acceptable use policies are essential for a business,
and the use of IT equipment, information and security, particularly when it comes to using emails, internet,
and computer equipment. The policies are therefore designed to help and facilitate employees and other
authorized individuals while they perform their work. The acceptable internet policies play a crucial role in
determining the strategies employed in communication using the World Wide Web. Proper directions are
given to the members of an organization concerning its use. The reason for this policy is to obtain proper
use and behavior for TIK_IT ltd IT systems and to protect the rights and privacy of all employees and the

Cyber Security Engineers are responsible for safeguarding computer networks and systems in an organization in order to protect the sensitive data they store.
Take on the role of Cyber Security Engineer for the organization you chose in Week 1. Research the following information for your chosen organization. Develop a Security Standards, Policies, and Procedures Manual using this template with recommendations to management of security standards, polices, and procedures which should be implemented in your organization.UPMC Hospital
Overview
Explain the importance to your organization of implementing security policies, plans, and procedures. Discuss how security policies, plans, and procedures will improve the overall security of the organization.
Security policies for UPMC Hospital are a critical part of maintaining compliance with health standards and regulations, such as HIPAA. A security plan will improve the overall security of the hospital by having a written documentation containing protocols for maintaining a secure network, protecting sensitive patient information, and providing a policy of encryption which will ensure secure data transmissions. Additionally, security plans and procedures assist in implementing a patient tracking system using secured technology to ensure patients are not abducted.
The following policies, standards, and procedures are meant to protect UPMC’s data security environment. These Risk Management Policies also serve as a reference document for employees to ensure a cohesive response is followed by all departments and personnel in the hospital system.
Data Privacy Policies and Procedures
This policy pertains to all hospital and medical personnel who have access to patient/hospital data and information, whether direct or indirect. This policy is meant to protect high-level data and information and prevent those who do not have clearance from accessing the information. This policy also meets the requirements of the Patient Health Information (PHI) requirements as found in the Health Insurance Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). UPMC has adopted this policy to ensure that employees of the hospital are not given too much access to systems where they have no purpose or related duties.
Policy: Least Privilege. Reasonable effort must be taken to ensure PHI is secure and protected when using, accessing, requesting, and disclosing the protected information. Each hospital department must limit access to PHI least amount of access to data of all personnel to ensure they are only allowed to access the least amount needed to complete their job responsibilities.
Data Isolation Policies and Procedures
A data isolation policy will assist the overall security of the UPMC hospital by insuring that the data is secure by instilling a databa.
Business ethics deals with ethical rules and principles within a business context. As demand for more ethical business practices increases, many colleges now offer courses in business ethics. Lockheed Martin has strict policies on computing and information resource use to ensure legal and ethical standards are followed. Their policies outline appropriate and prohibited computer use, monitoring of systems, and requirements for publishing online information. Violations of policies can result in discipline up to dismissal.
This document outlines Georgia Southern University's Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy. It encourages the use of personal devices for accessing university resources if users comply with security requirements. These requirements include utilizing encryption and passwords on devices, maintaining antivirus software, informing IT if a device is lost/stolen, only using official services for sensitive data, and completing annual security training. Non-compliance could result in termination or legal action. The policy applies to all devices connecting to university networks or storing institutional data.
Glyndwr University is establishing a sister college in the USA. This poses legal implications under the UK Data Protection Act 1998, as the USA does not have equivalent data protection legislation. The Act prohibits transferring personal data to countries without adequate protections. To legally share data with the USA, Glyndwr must comply with the "Safe Harbour" principles agreed between the EU and USA, which aim to ensure adequate privacy protections. Key requirements include obtaining consent for data use and processing, keeping data secure, accurate and up-to-date, and providing access for individuals to correct errors. Complying with Safe Harbour allows Glyndwr to legally pursue its plans for the sister college while protecting privacy under UK law.

This document summarizes a paper that proposes a Data Leakage Prevention (DLP) solution to help organizations prevent intentional or accidental leakage of sensitive data. The proposed solution involves identifying, monitoring, and protecting three types of organizational data: data at rest (stored data), data in use (data currently being processed), and data in motion (data being transmitted). It describes sensitive data that organizations need to protect, such as personal information, financial records, and research data. The solution aims to classify data protection levels and help organizations enforce policies regarding appropriate data access and transmission to reduce risks from data leakage.
FEDERAL LEARNING BASED SOLUTIONS FOR PRIVACY AND ANONYMITY IN INTERNET OF MED...IRJET Journal
This document discusses the use of federated learning (FL) for privacy-preserving analysis of medical data from internet of things (IoT) devices. FL allows decentralized training of machine learning models on devices without moving sensitive patient data to a central location. The rise of IoT in healthcare is generating huge volumes of data but current AI approaches require aggregating data, raising privacy and security concerns. FL emerges as a solution by enabling decentralized and collaborative training while keeping data on devices. The document reviews literature on applying FL to clinical IoT applications and discusses how FL can address data isolation issues and perform AI tasks without compromising privacy.

Database Security—Concepts,Approaches, and ChallengesElisaOllieShoresna
Database Security—Concepts,
Approaches, and Challenges
Elisa Bertino, Fellow, IEEE, and Ravi Sandhu, Fellow, IEEE
Abstract—As organizations increase their reliance on, possibly distributed, information systems for daily business, they become more
vulnerable to security breaches even as they gain productivity and efficiency advantages. Though a number of techniques, such as
encryption and electronic signatures, are currently available to protect data when transmitted across sites, a truly comprehensive
approach for data protection must also include mechanisms for enforcing access control policies based on data contents, subject
qualifications and characteristics, and other relevant contextual information, such as time. It is well understood today that the
semantics of data must be taken into account in order to specify effective access control policies. Also, techniques for data integrity
and availability specifically tailored to database systems must be adopted. In this respect, over the years the database security
community has developed a number of different techniques and approaches to assure data confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
However, despite such advances, the database security area faces several new challenges. Factors such as the evolution of security
concerns, the “disintermediation” of access to data, new computing paradigms and applications, such as grid-based computing and on-
demand business, have introduced both new security requirements and new contexts in which to apply and possibly extend current
approaches. In this paper, we first survey the most relevant concepts underlying the notion of database security and summarize the
most well-known techniques. We focus on access control systems, on which a large body of research has been devoted, and describe
the key access control models, namely, the discretionary and mandatory access control models, and the role-based access control
(RBAC) model. We also discuss security for advanced data management systems, and cover topics such as access control for XML.
We then discuss current challenges for database security and some preliminary approaches that address some of these challenges.

1 INTRODUCTION
AS organizations increase their adoption of databasesystems as the key data management technology for
day-to-day operations and decision making, the security of
data managed by these systems becomes crucial. Damage
and misuse of data affect not only a single user or
application, but may have disastrous consequences on the
entire organization. The recent rapid proliferation of Web-
based applications and information systems have further
increased the risk exposure of databases and, thus, data
protection is today more crucial than ever. It is also
important to appreciate that data needs to be protected
not only from external threats, but also from insider threats ...
Unit 6 Privacy and Data Protection 8 hrTushar Rajput
The document discusses privacy and data protection. It defines privacy as an individual's ability to control how and when personal information is shared with others. It outlines several international agreements that establish privacy as a universal human right. The document also discusses the three dimensions of privacy - personal, territorial, and informational - and basic privacy principles like transparency and purpose limitation.
- Ethiopia currently lacks a national cybersecurity policy and standards to guide cybersecurity efforts. The Ethiopian Telecommunications Agency, Ethiopian ICT Development Authority, and Ethiopian Telecommunications Corporation have formed a committee to develop these.
- Some initial work has been done on data security but a broader national information security strategy is still needed. Existing cybersecurity technologies at internet service providers are based on vendor proposals rather than national standards.
- Developing a cybersecurity policy, standards, and increasing the number of security professionals through training are seen as priorities to improve Ethiopia's approach to information security.
KAGL University has a policy to protect student privacy while allowing beneficial communication. The policy allows students to opt out of certain organizational contacts and screens organizations that access student information. All university computers have anti-virus software and hard drives are removed before disposal to ensure privacy of current and former student information. Individuals or organizations violating this policy will face disciplinary actions including fines, probation, reporting to authorities, termination of employment, and exclusion from electronic student access.

List of possible policies for inter institution dialogue be
1. USU
Appropriate Use of Computing, Networking, and Information Resources
This policy is intended to be consistent with Utah State University’s established culture of academic freedom,
intellectual curiosity, openness, and integrity by defining the requirements and limits of appropriate use of
information technology resources and services including computers, digital networks, and information resources at
Utah State University. These rules are in place to protect faculty, staff, students, and the University. Inappropriate
use exposes Utah State University to risks including compromise of network systems and services, loss of
confidential data, loss of the resource for legitimate use, and legal liability.
Computer Management
The intention of this policy is to decrease the availability of Utah State University’s computing resources to
unauthorized outsiders. Computing resources and confidential data are sought by unauthorized outsiders for their
own purposes, often at the expense of the University or the user of the computer. Proper management of
computers reduces these risks of loss and the legal, financial, and personal consequences that may result.
Wireless Network Deployment & Access
Wireless network technologies play an increasingly important role at Utah State University. The purpose of this
policy is to establish the intent, direction, and expectation with respect to the deployment (including installation,
operation, and maintenance) of wireless technology at Utah State University. USU Information Technology (IT) is
taking on the initiative to provide 100% wireless coverage for the institution.
Internal Bulk Email
The intention of this policy is to assign authority and responsibility for content and volume of internal bulk mail so
that its use is: a) acceptable to the majority of recipients; b) protects the privacy of recipients; c) and is within the
capacity of the systems that generate, transmit, and store the messages.
Banner Identification Number
It is the intention of this policy to recognize that Banner identification (ID) numbers will be treated as public
identifiers, rather than Social Security Numbers, with appropriate office practices which recognize the non-
confidential status of the Banner ID number.
Network Monitoring & Vulnerability Scanning Policy
Computers that are connected to the Utah State University Network are at risk of compromise resulting in
unauthorized access to computing resources (processor power and storage space) and to confidential data
(personal and financial) stored on or transmitted through the computer as part of university operations. This Policy
defines a means by which vulnerable and/or compromised computers might be identified and isolated from the
network pending correction of the problem.
Information Privacy
2. The objective of this policy is to provide assurance of Institutional respect for privacy of information placed by
users on University computers and to define the circumstances and limits on exceptions to that privacy. Users are
also cautioned about potential exposure of information and limited privacy on the Internet.
Institutional Email System
The intention of this policy is to collect all official and business communications of the university in one email
system of record for security, audit ability, records management, document preservation, archiving and
destruction, as appropriate.
UVU
Ethics in Computer Usage
Everyone within the UVU community who uses institution computing and communications facilities has the
responsibility to use them in an ethical, professional and legal manner. This means that users agree to abide by the
following conditions:
1. The integrity of the systems must be respected.
2. Privacy of all users must not be intruded upon at any time.
3. Users must recognize that certain data are confidential and must limit their access to such data to uses in
direct performance of their duties.
4. The rules and regulations governing the use of facilities and equipment must be respected.
5. No one shall obtain unauthorized access to other users' accounts and files.
6. The intended use of all accounts, typically for institution scholarly work, instruction and administrative
purposes, must be respected.
7. Users shall become familiar with and abide by the guidelines for appropriate usage for the systems and
networks that they access.
Academic Freedom and Information Access
UVU is a community of scholars in which the ideals of freedom of inquiry, freedom of thought, freedom of
expression, and freedom of the individual are sustained. The commitment is also expressed in the Faculty
Academic Freedom, Professional Responsibility and Tenure, which endorses the "Statement on Academic Freedom
in the 1940 Statement of Principles of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP)." The institution's
commitment parallels the national "Library Bill of Rights," which affirms the importance of making information and
ideas available in an environment free from censorship. This policy statement on information access through
computer networks compliments the institution's overall "Policy on Ethics in Computer Usage," which describes
the responsibilities of the institution community to use computer resources in an ethical, professional and legal
manner.
Institutional Data Management and Access
Information maintained by the institution is a vital asset that will be available to all employees who have a
legitimate need for it, consistent with the institution's responsibility to preserve and protect such information by
all appropriate means. The institution is the owner of all administrative data; individual units or departments may
have stewardship responsibilities for portions of that data. The institution intends that the volume of freely
accessible data be as great as possible, given limitations of budget. The value of data as an institutional resource is
increased through its widespread and appropriate use; its value is diminished through misuse, misinterpretation,
or unnecessary restrictions to its access. The institution expressly forbids the use of administrative data for
anything but the conduct of institution business. Employees accessing data must observe requirements for
3. confidentiality and privacy, must comply with protection and control procedures, and must accurately present the
data in any use. The institution determines levels of access to administrative data according to principles drawn
from various sources. State and federal law provides clear description of some types of information to which
access must be restricted. In an academic community, ethical considerations are another important factor in
determining access to administrative data.
Monitoring and Review of Employee Electronic Communications or Files
In compliance with federal law, UVU cannot guarantee privacy nor should a user have any expectation
of privacy in any message, voice communication, file, image or data created, sent, retrieved or received
by use of the institution's equipment and/or access. The institution reserves the right to monitor any
and all aspects of its computer systems and to do so at any time, without notice, and without the user's
permission.
The institution holds as core values the principles of academic freedom and free expression. In
consideration of these principles, the institution will not monitor the content of electronic
communications of its employees in most instances, nor will it examine the content of employee
electronic communications or other employee electronic files stored on its systems except under certain
circumstances. In this context, "electronic communications" includes, but are not limited to, telephone
communications, so-called "voice mail," e-mail, online chat, and computer files traversing the institution
network or stored on institution equipment.
Responsibility for Security of Computing Devices Connected to the UVU Network
The purpose of this policy is to clearly define requirements for owners and overseers of UVU network-
connected devices to close security gaps. It also describes loss of network access for noncompliance, as
well as an exception process.
Use of University Technology Equipment
This policy describes the general guidelines for using institution information technology equipment.
Private Sensitive Information
Institutional information technology resources are at risk from potential threats such as human error,
accident, system failures, natural disasters, and criminal or malicious action. The purpose of this policy is
to secure the private sensitive information of faculty, staff, students, and others affiliated with the
institution, and to prevent the loss of critical operational information.
Processing and Control of Distributed Administrative Data
While most administrative data reside on hardware maintained by the Office of Information
Technology (OIT) and are managed by the Data Management Group, some data reside in and are
managed by other university departments. Given the critical nature of administrative data, it must
be managed in a consistent, secure manner across the entire institution. The purpose of this
document is, therefore, to define requirements that must be met by any and all departments that
have or will have management responsibility for administrative data.
Retention of Electronic Files
The purpose of this policy is to establish rules and procedures for the retention of electronic documents,
messages and files in accordance with state and federal law and the established practices of the
university.
WSU
4. The purpose of the Information Security Policy is to:
Provide policy to secure High-Risk, Restricted and/or Confidential information of
faculty, staff, students, and others affiliated with the University, and to prevent the loss of
information that is critical to the operation of the University.
Provide reasonable and appropriate procedures to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and
availability of the University’s Information Technology Resources.
Prescribe mechanisms which help identify and prevent the compromise of information
security and the misuse of University data, applications, networks and computer systems.
Define mechanisms which protect the reputation of the University and allow the
University to satisfy its legal and ethical responsibilities with regard to its networks’ and
computer systems’ connectivity to networks outside the University.
Provide written guidelines and procedures to manage and control information considered
to be High-Risk, Restricted and/or Confidential whether in electronic, paper or other
forms.
Protect the integrity and validity of University data.
Ensure the Security and protection of High-Risk, Restricted and Confidential information
in the University’s custody, whether in electronic, paper, or other forms.
Acceptable Use Policy
Weber State University provides students, faculty and staff with access to both an internal campus
network and to the Internet. Such access, used appropriately, legitimately advances the mission of the
university. But there is always the possibility for misuse. This Acceptable Use Policy provides guidelines
for the use of network and computing resources that reflect the mission statement of the university,
protects WSU community members and others from harm, and helps to preserve the availability of
network resources for all WSU community members.
Network Security/Firewall Policy
Access to information available through the university’s network systems must be strictly
controlled in accordance with approved network access control criteria, which are to be
maintained and updated regularly.
Payment Card Handling Policy
5. The purpose of this policy is to protect payment card data and to comply with the
Payment Card Industry's Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) requirements for
transmitting, handling and storage of payment card data.
Throughout this policy the term payment card is used to refer to credit, debit and charge
cards.
This Policy does not include information on Purchasing Cards. For information on
Purchasing Cards (PCARDs) please refer to PPM 5-25i (documents.weber.edu/ppm/5-
25i.htm).
University Telecommunications Services

U of U
Data Management
1. Institutional Data is a valuable University asset. It is information about University
constituencies students, faculty, staff, resources (funds, space, etc.) that is captured and
used in the day-to-day services and operations of the University. It is used as the basis for
administrative reports, both internal and external to the University. It enables
administrators to assess the needs of the University community and modify services
accordingly. It is vital not only in the day-to-day operations of the University, but to short
and long-term planning as well.
2. The purpose of this policy is to protect this valuable asset, permit the sharing of it
through accurate and consistent definitions, and provide a coordinated approach to its use
and management. In all cases, applicable state and federal statutes and regulations that
guarantee either protection or accessibility of institutional records take precedence over
this policy.
Information Resources
