Enterprise Systems Network: SecurID Solutions, the Authentication to Global Security Systems

Enterprise systems need reliable, flexible and secure means for making public and confidential information available to users in a secured and trusted manner. Although enterprise systems have variety of choice to authenticate these users, organizations face significant issues when granting access and providing a manageable structure for valuable access control. Logon functionalities such as user name and password algorithm have been used to grant authentication and authorization into enterprise systems network resources. Since most systems clients prefer the ease of using passwords, and since passwords are easily compromised, the urgency for a stronger authentication process becomes paramount. This study performed an internal evaluation of enterprise systems such as rating the effectiveness of a security platform as well as an external evaluation; i.e., analyzing how a security system is been rated by external entities. The study will examine correlations between system security best practices and reported or observed outcomes. The study concluded by evaluating the use of added protective layers to the two or multi-factor authentication security system

Effect of Virtualization on Enterprise Network, Server/Desktop Systems on Small and Mid-Size Businesses (SMB)

Enterprise small and mid-size businesses (SMB) are embracing virtualization because of the need to reduce risks associated to IT outages and data loss. Most of these establishments have loss critical enterprise data due to systems failures, accidents or natural causes. Virtualization platforms increase application availability which can shorten disaster recovery time and improve SMBs business continuity preparedness. This study will explore these benefits to find critical issues that can enable SMBs to maintain competiveness by utilizing less to do more

Enterprise Integrated Security Platform: A Comparison of Remote Access And Extranet Virtual Private Networks

The Internet has created unprecedented opportunities for both organizations and individuals. However, these opportunities also have created a double-edge sword as organizations attempt to connect trading partners, customers, and remote users while providing adequate security measures that are flexible and cost-effective. This paper explores why secured socket layer (SSL) may be better tool for secured remote access and extranets by comparing it to internet protocol security virtual private networks (IPSec-based VPNs)

Organization management today: setting the human resource agenda in the globalized competition

The paper‘s discussion focuses on the way the world we live in is being transformed under our own very eyes by factors and forces which are so compelling and overwhelming, in their ramifications. The environment in which business and management are carried on today is becoming more and more complex by the day. Things are unfolding faster and are being transmitted to all corners of the globe at such an alarming speed that no nation, no organization and no individual is insulated. The paper theoretically examined why organization(s) should fit -in into the environmentin order to compete with the rest of the world.Keywords: Organization, Management, Human resources agenda, Globalization, Competitio

Measurement and Test Performance for Integrated Digital Loop Carrier for White Noise Impairment Using Interleaved Mode

This paper presents results of measurement and test performance for Integrated Digital Loop Carrier (IDLC) technology. The study focuses on cable modem termination systems (CMTSs) that are reported on assortments of operating parameters to the end user based on upstream and downstream modes that are incorporated with statistical analysis approach.. The study focuses on the statistical analytical measurement for noise margins on a particular type of loops – “white noise impairment”

An overview of and factor analytic approach to flow theory in online contexts

An overview of flow theory is presented from the literature across multiple disciplines, including information systems, ecommerce, marketing, digital gaming, user interface, management, and cultural contexts. Flow can play a pivotal role in the user experience and impact the user interaction with a site, computing device, or app. It is worthwhile to examine the effects of flow experience on users and incorporate these findings in designing engaging user experiences and interfaces in both web sites and mobile applications. To further understand these implications, the present study gave a questionnaire to 310 participants in a computer laboratory setting following an online shopping episode. The factor analysis revealed three dimensions of flow experience: control, attention focus, and cognitive enjoyment. All three dimensions had very low correlations. No gender effect on flow was found

Any engineering approach to cybersecurity must recognize that many breaches are the result of human behavior, rather than sophisticated malware. Effective cybersecurity defenses require a systematic engineering approach that recognizes the organizational, cultural and psychological barriers to effectively dealing with this problem. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) defines “phishing” as, “the use of fraudulent emails and copy-cat websites to trick you into revealing valuable personal information—such as account numbers for banking, securities, mortgage, or credit accounts, your social security numbers, and the login IDs and passwords you use when accessing online financial service providers.” Once this information is fraudulently obtained, it may be used to steal your identity, money, or both. A review of the literature reveals an alarming lack of attention to the prevalent threat of low-technology, or low-complexity phishing attacks. Accordingly, here is a primer on the prominent exploit known as phishing, illustration of several cases, and the necessity for organizational and societal education of data users as to appropriate computer hygiene. Much of the literature about cyberattack addresses technical aspects of computer code, encryption, and bad actor attribution. Yet human behavior remains a significant source responsible for successful cyber intrusions. Your authors believe this Article provides a valuable discussion about the human factors that very often comprise a back-door entryway into data systems
