CASE STUDY ON IMPROVING THE SECURITY OF A FIRM IN A LEGACY APPLICATION SETTING (PDF, 2.76MB)Published: 27 Jan, 2003
Created by:
Susan Bradley

This paper documents the steps that were taken by me to increase the security within my firm's computer network system, a system that includes Windows XP workstations and Windows 2000 Server systems. The implementation process includes enhancements to internal firm policies and procedures as a result of and in response to an updated firm risk assessment. Recent legislative activities in the State of California regarding the privacy of names and social security numbers maintained within network computer systems dictated a self-imposed review of our current security practices.
