PROTECT YOUR SYSTEM

December 27, 2004 (PRLEAP.COM) Technology News
With this launch, 4terrorism is positioning itself to support the IT compliance requirements mandated for publicly traded companies resulting from the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) Section 404 compliance requirements.

Section 404 of the SOX legislation has enormous implications for every public company's information technology department. These include: the process for dealing with new business application installations, modification, ongoing application monitoring, security issues with respect to IT systems and networks, and a variety of other questions and challenges that focus on every public company's IT department's ability to provide necessary and critical support across the corporate spectrum. http://www.prleap.com/pr_2383.html.

At present, some of the more popular solutions are:

End User Computing Auditing: End User Computing Auditing includes the following: 1) Identifying any and all spreadsheets/databases that are in use which form the basis for reports, date used in performing duties, or result in creating financial data/transactions in your area of responsibility. 2) Locating the spreadsheet/database on the network, the drive and sever location or in on a desktop, who has a copy of it or uses the spreadsheet in conducting their duties. 3) Determining who has access to the tool or has a current copy/version of it. Any access controls in place (version control, change control, password access, etc.) and, what computer security is in place for these files.

Cyber Security Check Up: Cyber Security Check Up provides your company or organization to develop a cost effective, threat effective cyber security plan. The first step is to perform an audit of your IT system and security and then develop an implementation plan that matches your business needs and will expand to match your growth and needs.
