Most of you have worked for firms that use ERP, CRM, or SCM system. Pick one of these, preferably the one you know best, and summarize what it does for your firm (20%). Be sure to capture how it impacts both internal staff and processes, and external people and organizations that interact with it (20%). Then make an estimate of its value to the firm and the impacts if it were unavailable for a week or more (20%). 

 Please limit your response to 1200-1500 words, double spaced. Include a title page and any references you cite (including the textbook) in your response.

Single Sign-On Access

Some business and organizational network infrastructures consist of multiple systems from the same or different vendors to provide, conduct, process, and execute various business functions. Some employees must access one or more of these systems using valid access credentials (username and password). Logging in and out of each system whenever access is desired can become a problem for most users. Businesses and organizations have resorted to using Single Sign-On (SSO) for user authentication and authorization.

Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:

  1. Analyze at least five (5) problems experienced by employees in an enterprise where Single Sign-On (SSO) has not been implemented.
  2. Some businesses and organizations use Active Directory (AD) to provide SSO access to the enterprise. Analyze the advantages and disadvantages of using AD for SSO access.
  3. Some businesses and organizations use Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LADP) to provide SSO access to the enterprise. Analyze the advantages and disadvantages of using LADP for SSO access.
  4. Compare and contrast a Kerberos-based SSO configuration to a smart card based configuration in terms of:
    1. configurability
    2. established standards
    3. implementation challenges
    4. cost
  5. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

  • Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
  • Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

  • Define authorization and access to an IT infrastructure based on an access control policy framework.
  • Define proper security controls within the User Domain to mitigate risks and threats caused by human behavior
  • Use technology and information resources to research issues in access control.
  • Write clearly and concisely about topics related to Security Access & Control Strategies using proper writing mechanics and technical style conventions.

Grading for this assignment will be based on answer quality, logic / organization of the paper, and language and writing skills, using the following rubric.

Goal:

Understand how concept mapping can be used to help refine your thinking and writing of your paper.

Concept mapping can be a useful tool for helping you conceptualize your paper. This method is often used in research to help scholars conceptualize research studies. Creating a concept map is useful in helping you think through the major ideas, concept and bodies of literature that are guiding your work and help you organize these in a way that is cohesive, clear and compelling.

Assignment:

1- You specifically need to focus on implementing Enterprise Risk Management (ERM). Choose a “theme” (i.e. ERM in higher education, manufacturing., etc.), and make sure that all your resources relate to your theme.  

2- Each of you will identify the main ideas and concepts that are embedded in his/her paper.

3- Once you have generated some concepts to work with, ask yourself how these concepts are related.

4- Create a concept map of the important concepts that underpin your paper and their connection to each other.

* Be creative don’t think about getting the right concept map. Think about the paper you are writing, the underlying thesis statement, the argument that you are making and how the concept embedded in your argument is related.

Once you have created a visual representation of the concepts in your paper, you will use it to answer the following questions (in the next step, you will be asked to write your concept paper based on your concept map):

vWhat are the central concepts at the heart of your paper?

vHow do you think these concepts related to each other and what is your basis for these?

vWhat is the relationship between the concepts and ideas that you will discuss in your paper?

vWhat literature informs your paper and how does this literature connect / relate?

 At the end of this assignment, you need only to submit the visual representation of the concept map

The audit planning process directly affects the quality of the outcome. A proper plan ensures that resources are focused on the right areas and that potential problems are identified early. A successful audit first outlines the objectives of the audit, the procedures that will be followed, and the required resources.

  1. Define the following items for an organization you are familiar with:
    1. Scope
    2. Goals and objectives
    3. Frequency of the audit
    4. Duration of the audit
  2. Identify the critical requirements of the audit for your chosen organization and explain why you consider them to be critical requirements.

  4. Develop a plan for assessing IT security for your chosen organization by conducting the following:
    1. Risk management
    2. Threat analysis
    3. Vulnerability analysis
    4. Risk assessment analysis
  5. Explain how to obtain information, documentation, and resources for the audit.
  6. Analyze how each of the seven (7) domains aligns within your chosen organization.
  7. Align the appropriate goals and objectives from the audit plan to each domain and provide a rationale for your alignment.
  8. Develop a plan that:
    1. Examines the existence of relevant and appropriate security policies and procedures.
    2. Verifies the existence of controls supporting the policies.
    3. Verifies the effective implementation and ongoing monitoring of the controls.
  9. Identify the critical security control points that must be verified throughout the IT infrastructure, and develop a plan that includes adequate controls to meet high-level defined control objectives within this organization.
  10. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.
