Network Security

At the Great Catalogs Inc, network allows the company to centralize its data, team work productively. The corporate network is used to connect each computer to each other through a server that will manage access to Internet, mail, access rights to shared documents and collaborative work.

GCI's Network Security Policy

In GCI there is a hierarchy in terms of employees. It's the same in computers: one computer will play the boss; it is called the enterprise server. This is a more powerful machine than the other which has many responsibilities. This server is managed by the Department of Information Systems (SSI). The person in charge of the server administrator is the only one with access to the server room (Vacca, 2010).

Each employee has an account on his computer secured by a password. When the computer turns the user name and password are requested by the server. It is he who takes care of authenticating the user and allows access to the workstation.

Where an employee has a problem of a computer, he must contact the department of information systems. A person will take control of the remote computer to troubleshoot it, saving him from moving. When it happens, your mouse will start moving by itself! Do not worry!
