Best practice to manage Information Technology System in Factory and Manufacturing Environment
According to security improvement, our company decided to install a firewall within our computer network system in order to protect the network system from outside hacking. The firewall should be able to regulate outbound and inbound network traffic between the LAN and WAN network. Read More
Objective:
The IT Security Operation Checklist provides guidelines for IT professionals to perform the daily, weekly, and monthly maintenance and administrative tasks required to keep your infrastructure components and application systems performing optimally. In addition, a checklist is available to help IT to prepare for disaster recovery efforts, and it helps to keep an IT system operation smoothly. The checklist divides into three sections: 1) IT Infrastructure Components Security Operation Schedule, 2) Servers Backup Operation Log, 3) MFGPRO ERP Operation Log. Take reference to the following checklists as a sample, or adapt them to suit your company’s specific needs. Read More
The presence of unsecured or mis-configured modems attached to computers on the network can undermine a well thought-out security plan. Persons unaware of the risks may set up modems on their computers that can be accessed with either non password or an easily guessed password. These modems are then vulnerable to computer criminals who “war dial,” or call numbers systematically until they find a phone number that connects to an unsecured dialup.
If a computer with an unsecured modem is connected to our network, anyone with a little computer skill and malicious intent can use that unsecured modem as a “back door” into our network. Firewalls don’t protect a network against this type of attack because the intruder comes in over phone lines, rather than over the Internet, bypassing firewalls. Read More
Company guidelines for managing passwords define the password security policy. In so doing, all personnel are responsible for maintaining good password practices in their systems.
The purpose of this document is to describe how the password management policy can be introduced and maintained in an Oracle database environment. Read More
This document covers the operation of a distributed intrusion detection system.
This manual contains the following:
Chapter 2 Intrusion Detection Procedure
A short introduction to Intrusion detection technology, the procedure around the operations, and follow-up action regarding how to record and keep trace the incident.
Chapter 3 Intrusion Detection
This chapter describes the principles and working of an Intrusion Detection system.
Chapter 4 Component Description
This chapter describes the setup of the different components used in the secure setup.
The central management server will be responsible for the management of all the components.
Chapter 5 Network Setup
The network setup describes how the different components can be placed securely in a site’s network. This is done with centralized management, log consolidation and secure communications between the systems.
Chapter 6 Snort: -Installation, Configuration and Maintenance
This chapter describes the initial installation and configuration and the periodic maintenance.
Chapter 7 Analysis of the results
Analysis of the results obtained through the different IDS sensors have to be analyzed to be useful for the site. This chapter describes the usage of the Analysis Console for Intrusion Databases (ACID)
Chapter 8 Conclusion
This chapter contains the final conclusions of this paper. Read More
Introduction
Underpinning the company commitment to responsible corporate citizenship and the pursuit of a sustainable future – economic, social and environmental – the General Business Principles set out guiding principles on integrity and ethics in business conduct. They govern The company’ business decisions and actions throughout the world and apply equally to corporate actions and to the behavior of individual employees in conducting the company business. They are subject to applicable laws.
The General Business Principles are not all-encompassing, but formulate minimum requirements of behavior. They leave product divisions and country management free to specify further local rules of business conduct. To drive the practical deployment of the General Business Principles, a set of GBP Directives have been published, which are applicable to all employees. There are also separate Directives, which apply to specific categories of employees, such as the Financial Code of Ethics and the Purchasing Code of Ethics. The GBP Directives and the category-specific Directives form an integral part of the General Business Principles (jointly be referred to as ‘GBP’). The General Business Principles, which have been adopted by the Board of Management and approved by its Supervisory Board, are reviewed on a regular basis and revised if necessary. Read More
The objective of this plan is to provide a guideline to the organization to continue managing the business through MFGPro and to minimize the disturbance to manufacturing operations in the event that the MFGPro system is totally unavailable and cannot be recovered within 48 hours.
The service provided during the disaster recovery is of survival nature, may not extend to every user, and may require end-users to re-enter the backlog transactions at the commencement of the disaster recovery and at re-starting of the normal operation.
The recovery option will be varied in nature depending on the cause of the outage. This may require set-up of LAN server, secondary processing center, etc. Read More
Ensuring the continuity of systems that are responsible for hosting the company’s business applications is regarded as of vital importance to our sustained competitiveness. Not only should these systems be protected against the obvious external threats, such as viruses and hackers, they should also be secured against potential, and possibly more dangerous internal “threats”. The rule is that employees should never have more privileges than is necessary for their functions. This issue can be addressed by proper configuration of the systems. Configuration of systems, however, only provides a basic security level. Adapting to the dynamic IT environment requires continuous updating through service packs, hotfixes, and security patches. Figure 1. illustrates this concept. Read More
Many large enterprises employ numerous servers to support their needs. These servers, hosting a business’ most critical applications, are often physically stored at one single location within the enterprise. This concept, commonly referred to as a server farm, provides the benefits of centralized control and management. Nevertheless, this approach has its inherent weaknesses as a collection of servers are more vulnerable to physical damage than distributed servers. This issue, however, can be properly addressed by appropriate security measures. The Company IT’s Server Room Security Procedure addresses the issue and provides policy guidelines necessary to sustain server operations. Read More
Visitors to the Company carrying IT equipment pose a serious threat to the security of our IT systems. Commonly, the equipment in question are laptops, and we will use the term laptops instead. Without proper control, a visitor with a laptop can connect to the network and infect the system with viruses or malicious programs (e.g. Trojans), either on purpose or unintentionally. The Visitor IT Security Procedure is designed with the purpose of preventing and covering such cases, should they occur. Read More
