XYZ Organization and Software Security Issues

The lack of information protection in companies and factories leaves thousands of bugs that can be quickly abused by malicious software. XYZ has continually protested about the lack of protection on its system, fearing that its data could be malicious malware. By keeping their databases and private data vulnerable, an organization will become a convenient target for unreasonable rivals and information thieves/hackers. Therefore, this article attempts to formulate a recommendation on the measures that need to be taken to resolve the security inadequacy of XYZ. It touches on the possible benefits, needs, the plans concerning costs, the intended methods, and the potential results of the whole process.

Possible Benefits

Many benefits can be associated with the introduction of the modern security technologies in an organization. Some of the benefits can include but not limited to:

• Powerful security system run and maintained by hundreds of aspiring and trusted programmers.
• Bi-Daily system backups, accessible through our shared cloud drives.
• Virtual Security Gate scanning and breaking down every incoming and outgoing file.
• Emergency kill-switch in case of dire situations by high-end attackers.
• Maintenance agents that work all the times, 24/7.

The Need

There is a real need for a good security system to protect every valuable information of the company and keep its manufacturing business safe from malicious software. There can either be an intentional or accidental introduction of the malicious software into the company’s systems. It will be challenging for the organization to maintain its standard operations once the malware corrupts the system,

The Plan

The company needs to address some specific components are the planning stage. For instance, there is a need to set clear objectives of the proposed implementation and the intended techniques that will be used while implementing.

Objectives and Methods: Rhino Technologies represented by its Senior Information Security Officer, will supply XYZ with an advanced information security system. The supply will take place in a four-step process: the first phase will be the system analysis phase then, the second phase will involve the system design then the third phase will be the installation, and finally, the fourth phase will entail the training of the user. During the first phase, Rhino Technologies will analyze the client’s existing system in order to define the security problem, objectives and the required resources such as personnel and costs. It will meet with the IT personnel of the company to identify the needs and expectations of the system.

During the second phase, once the client’s needs and expectations have been understood, Rhino Technologies will define the elements of the proposed system, including the components, the security level, modules, system architecture, and specific interfaces and data that will be incorporated into the system. In the third phase, Rhino Technologies will meet with both the management and the IT personnel of the client corporation to illustrate the design of the new security system. Upon approval, the new system will be configured and installed on the client’s system, ready to become running. Finally, in the final phase, five end users will be trained on how to use and to get familiar with the new system.

The Cost: The cost of the system analysis and system design will be $1,000 and $20,000, respectively. The installation of the new system and training of end users for one week will be provided for free, and from there Rhino Technologies will be charging $150 per session if the client will request training of more users.

Expected Results: It is expected that the implementation of the new security system will enhance security and safety of vulnerable information and secure the system from malicious software. XYZ will then be free to compete freely in the market without fear of witch-hunt by some of its competitors and hackers. More importantly, XYZ will also be at liberty to operate its systems without fear of any form of accidental malware attacks that can massively corrupt its data.

In summary, therefore, some of the critical points that need to be taken into account are: first, the client complained lack of security with its system being vulnerable to malicious software. Rhino Technologies proposes an advanced security system that will secure the system from malicious software. Installation of the new system has been suggested to enhance security and safety of vulnerable information and defend the system from malicious software. The cost of system analysis will be $1,000 while system design will cost $20,000. Five (5) IT staff will receive one-week free training while each additional session will cost $150.

Request for Action

XYZ Company shall present its requirements and assess the specifications for the proposed system. Once the system is considered to have satisfied their need’s assessments, they shall place a purchase order upon executive management’s approval. Then Rhino Technologies shall develop and install the new system within 30 days of the official Purchase Request. Finally, Rhino Technologies will conduct an orientation trainings to the staffs on the management of the new system which will be intended to make implementation process easy.
