"COMPUTER SYSTEM SECURITY"
1. Human Error
Errors and the omissions are the great threats to the integrity of the data and the computer system. Data entry operators, programmers, system administrators often make errors that can compromise the system’s security. The effect of the various security threats caused by the human errors varies. Employee’s training and awareness training should be given to the employees to avoid such kinds of errors that can lead to the financial losses for a company.
2. Dedicated Computers
In an business or organization, it is advisable to use only one computer to save important and sensitive information. When several computers hold different pieces of important data, the possibility of someone or something gaining access to the information increases.
3. Keep a checklist for the decommissioning process
Keeping a checklist for the decommissioning process will help to make sure you don’t forget a step at any point. This can be especially important when dealing with many, many computers at once, such as when an entire department is shut down — but it’s important the rest of the time, too. Don’t rely on the checklist to do your thinking for you. Consider every detail of the system in question, its uses, and any potential dangers for security that come to mind. Add new measures to the checklist when you come up with a threat you have to deal with that may be relevant again at a later date; not everything on the checklist has to apply in every case for it to be a valuable addition to the checklist.
4. Develop competent internal technical support personnel
Develop competent internal technical support personnel who can help others to conduct basic activities on the computers and who can call outside consultants for troubleshooting when needed. Have one or two internal people who are designated as technical support contacts for other staff members. Instruct staff to report all problems to the internal technical support people. In that way, the internal people are aware of all problems and are more likely to detect oncoming problems as early as possible. They also become better trained at detecting and diagnosing problems.
5. Chat Line and Message Board Warnings.
Never release personal information on chat lines or message boards. This is one way many identity thefts occur.
6. Record all important phone numbers
It is very important to records all important phone numbers for technical support consultants or contacts and this will help to ensure that the staff can find these numbers when needed.
7. Keep all software documentation
Keep all software documentation, such as manuals and guides, stored in a central location where staff can find them. Post a sheet on the wall so they can check documents out and for control to ensure they are returned.
8. Keep the serial numbers of all software packages
Serial numbers of all software packages must be keep in a clearly visible place for ease of reference when calling the software vendor's technical support.
9. Develop a disaster recovery plan.
The plan should address contingencies. It should include procedures to respond to, e.g., if a disk crashes, if the computer quits working, if the network is down, if the building is somehow destroyed, etc.
10. Secure Lines
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) certainly has advantages for a business, but it may not be the best communication in terms of security. The nature of VoIP exposes data transmission and information to third parties. Using a dedicated, secure line guarantees a business a layer of protection that other communication choices compromise.

Case no.8
"Current Political Issues in the Philippines"
1. No COA ruling to freeze Lacson's salary
MANILA, Philippines - Both the Commission on Audit and the Senate admit there is no written ruling or opinion from the audit body to stop the release of Sen.Panfilo Lacson's salary and budget. Last Monday, ABS-CBN News wrote COA Chairman Reynaldo Villar asking for a copy of any COA ruling, opinion or directive that became the basis for withholding Lacson's funds. Villar did not reply. Instead, a staff member from the office of COA public information office chief Rolando Macale said they sought out COA's resident auditor in the Senate, Mauro Lipana, for an explanation. The staff member quoted the newly-transferred Lipana as saying "there was no written directive (from him)" and that he simply "called attention" to the budgetary releases to Lacson's office from the time the senator went into hiding. Immigration records showed Lacson left the country on January 5, two days before he was charged in court for the Dacer-Corbito double murder. He has been considered absent from the Senate since January 18. Earlier this week, Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile said there was no formal opinion or directive from COA to freeze Lacson's budget and salary. "Hindi naman, wala naman but we want to prevent precisely that situation," enrile said. Last October 6, senators agreed in a caucus to withhold budgetary releases to Lacson 's office "until such time that he is able to fully perform his duties as senators." Lacson's office was also temporarily dissolved, and his staff reassigned to various Senate offices.
Comment:
For me it is right to freeze the salary of Lacson because he do nothing since he left away from the Philippines. He was only escaping from something being acused to him. If he is not guilty with the accusation he must still here in the Philippines and he must face it. But freezing the salary of Mr. Lacson must be legally done.
2. Noynoy & Shalani break-up rumor hounds cyberspace
Have they, or have they not broken up? Seems the truth is hard to find out at this point in time. The bachelor president has told the media that he wants the little that’s left of his privacy for himself. Break-up rumors have hounded the two since the start of P-noy’s presidency. Perhaps, it’s people putting two and two together: how can a very busy President have time for his girlfriend? Or blame it on some people who have agendas of their own. Some girls probably don’t want the country’s most eligible bachelor to end up with Shalani Take for example the Facebook account Love Destroyed. Looks like this account was set up for some purpose. It now links Councilor Shalani with her city Mayor Sherwin Gatchalian of Valenzuela City. It will be recalled that the good Mayor (also a bachelor) went out with actress Pauleen Luna. Ilang insiders sa valenzuela lgu ang nakakapansin na masyado nang sweet si konsehala shalani soledad at erwin gatchalian.pag nagtutungo ang daw ang binatang pulitiko sa upisina ni konsehala ay siya pa mismo ang personal na nagtitimpla ng kape ni gatchalian.break na nga ba si konsehala at si Noy?,” says Love Destroyed in his Facebook entry dated October 7. Previously, the anonymous account posted: “MADALAS MAKITA SI VALENZUELA COUNCILOR SHALANI SOLEDAD SA MALL NA NAMAMASYAL KASAMA ANG ISANG HALOS KAEDAD NIYANG LALAKING PULITIKO NA MAGKAHOLDINGS HANDS PA. ITO BA AY SENYALES NA TOTOO NGA NA SPLIT NA SILA NI PANGULONG PNOY?”The President, meanwhile, is being linked to TV5 reporter Patricia Ann ‘Trish’ Roque.Oops. This sounds like a round-robin already. would actually be worried about the effect the break-up will have on Shalani’s political stock. We all know that she shot to national prominence only because of Noynoy. But then again, why would she be worried? Sherwin is also as eligible and moneyed. Mayor nga lang.Nuff said.
Comment:
If President and Shalani really broke-up people must don't care about it because it is a personal life of the President. People should not make it like a showbiz news and we should not go beyond his personal life. If its true, then that's it. As long as he is doing his job as a President of our country. Being a President means you need to have a good love life. It's about helping the people in the Philippines and giving the services that we Filipino needs.
3. Truth Commissions eyes 23 tentative cases
MANILA, Philippines – The Philippine Truth Commission (PTC) will look at a tentative list of 23 cases of graft and corruption. Carlos Medina, one of the 5 members of the commission said they have already come up with a tentative list of around 23 cases involving massive graft and corruption. However, Medina added that the commission is still at the stage of gathering the materials. For his part, PTC chairman former Chief Justice Hilario Davide Jr. said the commission will adopt a logical procedure in prioritizing cases. During the commission’s first press briefing on Friday, Medina also did not completely disclose how many cases involve former president and now Pampanga Congresswoman Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. He further explained that the list of around 23 cases is culled from various sources.
Comment:
It is very important to look for the cases especially those which involves graft and corruption so that all people who committed mistakes will be punished and will get what they deserve. Graft and corruption is one of the reasons that holds Philippines to progress. Those persons who were engaged in graft and corruption are doing things just for there selves and not for our nations.
4. DILG relations improve after Palace sitdown
MANILA, Philippines - President Benigno Aquino III's decision to meet privately and admonish 2 officials of the Department of the Interior and Local Government has worked wonders for the department.DILG Secretary Jesse Robredo said relations within the DILG have improved now and officials who were said to be previously at odds with one another have now found time to meet regularly. In the interview, Robredo denied belonging to any faction in the Aquino Cabinet. "I don’t know where the five factions came from. As I’ve said, there is only one president I’m serving. I don’t belong to any faction that serves its own agenda, While its true that I’m with the [Liberal Party], I’ve been associated with former Sen. Mar Roxas, but that is beside the point when I’m doing my assignment," he said. President Aquino earlier said he admonished Robredo and Puno after a seeming turf war between the 2 was reported in the media. Puno has come under increasing scrutiny for allegedly receiving jueteng payola from gambling lords and for his alleged failure to resolve the August 23 hostage crisis peacefully. Puno earlier claimed that 5 groups, including 1 led by Robredo himself, were working to remove him from the DILG. He has denied receiving payola and said he merely acted as the President’s liaison during the hostage crisis.In a press conference, Aquino blamed the squabbling between Robredo and Puno on “miscommunication or lack of communication.” He said he decided to keep both officials because of their credentials. Robredo, meanwhile, said it is difficult to prove if police or local officials are receiving payola from gambling syndicates.
Comment:
It is good that all workers of DILG improve their relationships so that they can combine their ideas in accomplishing or doing their work. They must set aside those misunderstanding that they have before for the benefits of the people in the Philippines. Communication really helps in setting those misunderstanding that persons may have.
5. Davide welcomes complaints against him
MANILA, Philippines – The chairman of the Philippine Truth Commission (PTC) on Friday said he would welcome any complaint filed against him by his critics before the body.Davide confidently said that he has not committed any crime, misdemeanor and or irregularity while under government service for more than 35 years.He explained that the impeachment complaint against him regarding the Judicial Development Fund (JDF) was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court because it was filed one year after the filling of the first impeachment complaint.He, however, clarified that he will not take part in the proceedings of the Truth Commissioin in case a complaint will be filed against him.Former President Joseph Ejercito Estrada, who was ousted from office in 2001 following an incomplete impeachment trial, has opposed the appointment of Davide in the Truth Commission.The 5-member Truth Commission announced on Friday it is prepared to accept complaints. It has also requested departments and agencies of the government and government-owned and -controlled corporations to furnish it with reports or information on large-scale graft and corruption cases.
Comments:
Being honest is very important in doing a job. You must be honest to all people who you are working of. In the case of Davide, he is not afraid to all the complaints against him because according to him her conscience is clear and we do hope that it is true. Every body has the chance to complains if he or she shows something about the services of others.
