What are the advantages of VPN?
Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a network created between you and what you access. VPN tunnels your location and encrypts your data. This acts as a cognition- no one else can see, control or influence your activity. As you can image there are many advantages of VPN.

Great control Sean! I really liked the idea of having designated process: “By associating each part for each process with a specific employee would create accountability. That accountability through the process would help prevent theft/fraud since employees would know they would be associated by name to each part or piece issued to them for use in…[Read more]

Alex,
Like you, I thought implementation of a detective control would be the most beneficial from the operations manager’s perspective. Not only would the manager be able to see that theft and fraud was occurring, but given a chance to punish/ apprehend the culprits as well as mitigate the risk. These employees would have been blindsided by…[Read more]

I agree with you Paul. Cash flows will be dubbed in different currencies, and the effects of currency devaluations must be addressed in all financial analyses risk. Unlike their domestic financial management counterparts, multinationals are subjected to exchange rates that differ based on inflation rate in foreign countries where they operate.…[Read more]

What should the CEO do now? Resign? Explain
Like, I mentioned early on Said’s post. I think CEO John Stumpf should resign, along with 86% of Americans. The CEO should be held accountable for the unethical sales culture at the bank’s retail branches; these intense pressures that were pushed on the banks employees to cross sell products as w…[Read more]

Well said both of you. I completely agree. The CEO should be held accountable whether he knew or not. I mean it seems as if he had an idea of what was going on so therefore, he should have addressed the situation. Paul, like you I could find whether the fraud was material or nonmaterial.
Additionally, Paul your statement hits the nail right on…[Read more]

Hi Wenlin,
I would shut down your VM and then browse through the settings on the VM. From there, I’m sure you can figure out where you can add the 5 drives. Hint: Hardrive setting

Oh Alex,
You were probably in the Advance settings of the hard drive instead directly adding the drives individually. I know I made that mistake first and tried to put it in SCSI Drive via raito 1:5 and noticed this was not the way to go once I started my VMWare back you due to the lack of 5 drive present. I went back and discovered the add…[Read more]

Spot on the news post Paul! To piggyback off the previous post, it’s a shame it took so long for Yahoo to disclose this information.
Priya, most definitely agree with that email notification. The brunt of the backlash would have minute. Unless, Yahoo wanted the bad publicity. I would like not to think so, but reading some Twitter users tweets…[Read more]

Well summarized Said!
Towards the end you suggested that, “banks should educate and provide weekly security tips (precautionary measures) to their customers”, which is a great control in the disclaimer aspect. Personally, I would love if my banks did that or even have yearly password updates.As for the banks coming together to discuss…[Read more]

Thanks Priya. Great additions. I completely agree with your context in regards to the approach. One must take into account the other factors when implementing strategies.

Alex,
I respect your opinion in that regard. However, I do believe banks have different issues that are more situational and not universal. What one bank lacks, another could not. Generally speaking, the IT industry is very new and constantly evolving so the security challenges do apply but, like mentioned above they might need to be handled…[Read more]

I’ve came across some key differences as listed below:

-Online peer support vs. paid help-desk support
-Full vs. partial hardware support

What a great detailed post. I really enjoyed hearing about the Unpatched and legacy system. Many companies forgets that old technologies pose risks as well, and those risks aren’t going away. As legacy systems continue to get more out-of-date, the world around them continues to evolve with that being said, the risks are increasing.
