Computer Organization and Design, Fourth Edition: The Hardware/Software Interface

Every organization faces a variety of factors that put their company at risk. Risks may vary between industries, however, one thing remains the same- employers are responsible for protecting their employees and providing them with a safe workplace by mitigating these risks. In some cases, accidents still happen, employees choose not to follow proper procedures and misconduct ensues. In these types of situations, companies will want to ensure they have an effective reporting system in place, as well as proper tools for conducting top notch internal investigations.

Our Story

At i-Sight, we understand the different pressures organizations are under to comply with regulations and conduct timely investigations. We developed i-Sight Investigation Software to meet a need we recognized within our own workplaces eleven years ago. Since then, we have continued to enhance our understanding of the issues companies face through speaking with our clients and prospects in order to create a solution that makes their job easier.

Closing the Gap

When an individual or company comes to us requesting more information, or a demonstration of i-Sight, many have identified gaps in their current systems, and are looking for a solution that can be built around the processes they already have in place. For example, at Underwriters Laboratories (UL), wanted a system that could handle large volumes of cases, was accessible from any location due to traveling investigators and would allow their current investigations team to handle increasing case volumes without having to add additional members to the team.  Read more...

Hardware

Almost every household in the country will visit a hardware store at least one a year. This potential for business is one of the reasons that a hardware store has always been one of the more popular businesses that an owner can start or buy.

The generic hardware store exists in the mind’s eye as a retail store that a person can go to and buy just the right nut and bolt or the odd sized screw. This mythical store is run by knowledgeable people who can answer almost anything that has to do with home repair. This is what the public has come to expect when visiting a hardware store. Some chain store outlets have gotten away from the help side of hardware stores and just sale products off the shelf. Getting answers to questions in these stores is not what the hardware store visit is about. The great help of the old type hardware store is missing. Except in those stores that are run the old fashion way and continue to prosper as their customers are repeat customers and would not think about going somewhere else to shop. Two franchises that carry on this tradition are True Value and Ace Hardware associated stores.

A computer connected to any network or left unattended from time to time is a potential candidate for an attack that can result in the theft of confidential information. The notion of “hacking” in this case can include regular scanning and copying of your files in the manual mode, as well as more intricate attacks involving spyware and special tools for hacking password-protected archives and folders.

Simply put, it means that these attacks can target absolutely all stationary workstations in a corporate network, specialized data storage centers (libraries, archives and data catalogs, backups and arrays of documents containing commercial secrets) and portable computers used by employees outside the corporate network and on the corporate premises. And this makes computers with important and secret information much more vulnerable to possible attacks, theft and loss.

Of course, you can block access to USB ports, prohibit the use of portable drives and grant access to workstations according to a strict schedule. You can also require a personal signature under the usage agreement for access to computers and laptops that will need to be turned in at the end of the shift… However, this access control system looks excessively strict and cumbersome, so it will be almost impossible to efficiently use it in a real-life company.

Cryptic Disk Ultimate Edition will help you solve the problem of data protection on any computer, be it a workstation, a data server or a laptop.  Read more...
