  1. Unit 7 Organisational Systems Security Threats to a system Task 3 • Learners must explain the impact of at least 4 different types of threat on an organisation. You must suggest different issues arising from theft or damage to hardware and the theft or damage to data within a given organisation. In this case South Nottingham College. P1

  2. Unit 7 Organisational Systems Security Threats to a system A major threat to any system is the damage or destruction of systems or information on a networked computer system. Threats include loss of files or data, natural disasters, malicious damage, technical failures, human error and theft.

  3. Unit 7 Organisational Systems Security Threats to a system Natural Disasters: Malicious Damage: Technical Faults: Human Error: Theft: Organisational Risks: In pairs investigate and provide examples of the above threats and the possible consequence of them.

  4. Unit 7 Organisational Systems Security Natural Disasters • Range from simple power cuts to floods or fire • Require organisational measures to cope with extreme issues • Affects depend on how critical the system is – air traffic • Employ necessary technology to provide resilience

  5. Unit 7 Organisational Systems Security Natural Disasters DISASTER RECOVERY POLICY • Remote storage of data acquired in daily backups • Remote Mirroring of critical servers • Alternative data centres to transfer control at times of serious emergency

  6. Unit 7 Organisational Systems Security Malicious Damage • Internal & External causes • Hackers or disgruntled employees • Can be physical damage as well • Security techniques required to limit access

  7. Unit 7 Organisational Systems Security Human Error One of the most unpredictable and common causes of security issues in networks. • Forgetfulness, Ignorance, Innocence, Lack of knowledge • Backup data and place in a secure location • Erase hard drives before disposal of computers • Close ports on firewalls • All can lead to network intrusion and viruses • Increased attacks on broadband connections • Social engineering and phishing attacks

  8. Unit 7 Organisational Systems Security Theft Again one of the most unpredictable and common causes of security issues in networks. • Forgetfulness, Ignorance, Innocence, Lack of knowledge • Backup data and place in a secure location • Erase hard drives before disposal of computers • Close ports on firewalls • All can lead to network intrusion and viruses • Increased attacks on broadband connections • Social engineering and phishing attacks

  9. Unit 7 Organisational Systems Security Technical Failure • Always a risk with complex systems • Loss of servers, storage devices, internet connections • Technical damage can cause commercial damage and also inhibit the security of systems

  10. Unit 7 Organisational Systems Security CYBER DAMAGE • Research ‘cyber damage’ by internet search • Find out how many insurance companies now offer cover for this possibility • Why do they offer this cover?
