Technical Project Paper:
Information Systems Security
Due Week 10 and worth 150 points
Suppose you are the IT
professional in charge of security for a small pharmacy that has recently
opened within a shopping mall. The daily operation of a pharmacy is a unique
business that requires a combination of both physical and logical access
controls geared towards protecting medication and funds located on the
premises, as well as the personally identifiable information and protected health
information of your customers that resides on your system. Your supervisor has
tasked you with identifying inherent risks associated with your pharmacy and
establishing strong physical and logical access control methods to mitigate the
identified risks.
