Hiya guys,

Looking for a little help if i may, the other half is currently in the middle of some apprenticeship work (She's a receptionist) and is feeling a little lost in it all.

She's fantastic at her job but some of some of the questions she's unsure on what exactly to it's asking for, so i thought it best to turn to you guys in the hope of gleaming some clarity.

1)Describe potential benefits from the introduction of new IT tools and systems.

2)Describe the main risks to security for IT users.

3)Describe how organisations can exploit new developments in technology to improve cyber security.

Any help with these three questions would be fantastic.


Cheers

Dave

New it tools and systems can increase efficiency, productivity and help the organisation provide its customers the service they expect.

Passwords must be kept secure and systems logged out of when finished.

Organisations can exploit new developments in it security by researching the field and keeping their security systems and departments up to date and by regular training for the staff.

I'm a bit drunk and the footy's on so I doubt this is the help you want:o

No that's extremely helpful thank you thep02 ;)
 
I spend pretty much all my time at work answering those questions..

1) More IT tools means more automation, means time saving. If implemented correctly

2) This question is just stupid, what IT users? Have a phone? You're an IT user. You're a server admin for GCHQ holding protectively marked data? You're an IT user. The threat profile is wildly different. General IT security principles apply to all users though, strong, safe, secret passwords changed regularly, recognising abnormal IT behaviour and reporting it, recognising phishing attempts and reporting them etc..

3) Maybe I've had too much red wine, but really I'd want to argue AGAINST this question. New technologies are necessarily unproven security wise. They may bypass existing controls, cause users to behave in different ways, have unknown types of vulnerabilities... Generally, new technology is bad for security.

What happened to doing her own work?

:rolleyes:
 
1)Describe potential benefits from the introduction of new IT tools and systems.

A massively open ended question but like previously mentioned focus on efficiencies, improved data security and cost savings.

2)Describe the main risks to security for IT users.

Leaving computers unlocked, negligently losing customer data ( emailing your customer data base or losing memory sticks), poor password management, anti virus not kept up to date and running out of date/unsupported systems.

3)Describe how organisations can exploit new developments in technology to improve cyber security.

Research, case studies, appreciating that new doesn't equal better. An organisation should really define it's risk appetite and try and invest in technologies that support it. No network is going to be truly secure because humans are involved but there will be a level of risk that you are willing to put up with.
 
In the user risks section you should mention policy and users responsibilities that would mitigate risks, access rights for different users, password change policy and such.
