A Trojan horse

is an unauthorized program that attaches itself to another legitimate program but does not replicate itself like a virus

interfacing

is communication accross a common boundary, a connecting between two independent, offen different systems; requiring specialized programming

Security software

is computer software that restricts data access to authorized personnel. This access called--logical access because it interprets information (ID and Password)

disaster recovery plan What is the first step?

is designed to smoothly and quickly restore the data processing capability of the organization when there is a disaster; to create a set or responsibilities for the various participants and tasks that are to be included in the plan

Teleprocessing

is electronic movement of data for processing among remote computers or between a CPU and remote devices

Virtual private Network (VPN) 虚拟专用网;

uses the internet to provide secure remote access to an organization's network.

Process improvement methodologies

1. identify what the issue is 2. understand more about the issue 3. determine what is causing the issue 4. remediate the issue 5. put into place monitoring and control capabilities to either ensure the issue never occurs again, or to inform the organization if/when the issue does occur again

Management information system

1. management of data in an organized database 2.users do not have to be computer experts to realize benefits 3.not based on computers, consist of an organized federation of subsystems rather than a single, highly integrated system.

How to enhance the control structure of a computer opertions department

1. periodic rotation 2. mandatory vacations, 3. controlled access

disaster plans must include all of the following factors

1.a backup for programs and data 2.alternative processing site 3.off-site storage of backup 4. identification of critical applications 5.a method for testing the plan

Activity logging provides

1.cutoff controls=reduce recording transactions in wrong period 2.redundant hardware is control over hardware malfunction 3. transaction error logging control transactions rather than user terninal activity

integrated test facility

A company may process most of its business transactions through an electronic data processing (EDP) system.

internally encrypted passwords are

a form of access control designed to prevent unauthorizes access by use of a utility program to identity passwords,

The basis for user-to-data authorization technique:

access to data controlled by restricting specific files is a job-to-data authorization technique; access to data controlled by resticting specific terminals to specific application is a terminal-to-data authorization trchnique; the use of access software alone does not address all access security risks.

System software

act on the instruction provided in application programs=manipulateapplication programs

preventive control

aim to eliminate problems before they occur. --

EDI电子数据交换

allows exchanges between entities because they are based on a standard, EDI related to the data and not to hoe the data is programmed.

Electronic funds transfer (EFT)

allows transactions to take place more directly and with fewer interventing steps, there is less chance of human error. This can result in a reduction in frenquency of data-entry errors. EFT actually reduced the paper audit trail, although there are methods of monitoring and audit such transaction at the time they occur. EFT may actually requires stronger access controls due to the fact that fewer controls and reviewa take place during the eletronic processing of the transaction.

Hot site vs cold site

an alternative backup location for recovery of a company's data in the event of a disaster could be a facility designated as either a hot site or cold site. Cold site--having duplicate hardware delivered to the backup location Hot site--the duplicate hardward and configured software配置成软件 would already be onsite at the location.
