Aircraft Solutions fabricates and designs component services and products for companies in the commercial, electronic, aerospace, and defense industry. The company’s mission is to provide clients with the best products and services through machined products as well as related services. Further, the company seeks to meet its clients’ costs, schedule, and quality requirements(Miele, 2012). The company’s strategy is offering computer-aided modeling packages and low cost design to consumer in order to reduce the different developmentexpenses they experience.
The company usually uses business process management in handling end-to-end process that may span different organizations and systems. The business process management system has been designed to directly connect vendors, suppliers, and customers in order to share information as well as maintain timely businesses conversations and transactions (National Research Council, 2012). The BPM system is further aligned to internal business operation with the IT support systems in order to main productive production based on the support to consumers’ requirement, tastes, and preferences. The company has been successful in its operations. It has been able to successfully ensure that its consumers are satisfied at all times. This has been possible through increased consumer relations as well as quality management. Despite these successes, the company has been faced with different forms of security problems, which relate to hardware and software.
The company is facing different forms of hardware weakness, mainly in the AAA server. Aircraft Solutions Company has the need for having an AAA server that shall be used in authenticating and authorizing legitimate usercredentials the on-site headquarters, extranet for suppliers and contractors, and intranet remote offices. The AAA infrastructure may be required in order to authenticate and authorize users to the organization’s resources, access control(National Research Council, 2012). The AAA server usually provides mechanisms for an encrypted authentication of its users. It may further be used in controlling access to network. The authenticationusually verifies the identity of users through employing the data base passwords and usernames. The authorization usually assigns network rights in order to authenticate the users. The authorization records usage is usually based on authorized and authenticated users.
Further, accounting can be used in recording information about different forms of security breaches. Through using AAA system, the company shall be able to improve on its ability to interlink users and ensure that all users are authenticated and authorized to access any form of information from any of the company’s sites(Miele, 2012). Further, the company requires improved hardware computer components that are compatible with the system that should be adopted by the organization.
The system is vulnerable to access by unauthorized individuals. Currently, the company’s system uses a security system that may be accessed by users within the organization. This may lead to access to information by unauthorized individuals. However, using the AAA system may encourage improved system analysis, where individuals in need of accessing information from the company’s database require authentication. In addition, it shall improve efficiency through ensuring that individuals have access to data even when out of the company’s premises, such as while attending to a client on a given site despite the distance from the company.
The possibility of access to information through the current company’s hardware is quite high. More individuals may have access to information that should not be accessible to them. In such situations, more and more people may develop the need to access similar information, which increases the risks of the company being vulnerable to attacks(Miele, 2012). The likelihood of the threat occurring is quite increased. This is because the ease of access is increasing by time. People are coming up with more ways to access the information. It is important to use the AAA system in order to improve security measures and the access to the organization’s information.
The business may be affected in different ways through access of information based on the threats to the company’s hardware and software systems. For example, malicious individuals may access information that is private and confidential to the management. This information may be used in causing harm to the company’s operations. Further, it is important that the company keeps up with developing technology(National Research Council, 2012). Technology usually gets increased risks based on the increase in time it is used. To avoid this, the company should do its best to keep up with the development of technology. Using the AAA system may improve the success rate of the company in protecting its data and any other vulnerability that may face the organization.
There are three different potential security concerns relating to the Aircraft solutions, which are software, hardware, policy. These are the different weaknesses that usually face the company. It is important that the organization seeks ways in which it can improve these weaknesses, which may improve their ability to provide successful services to its clients (Miele, 2012). This may be done through improving the management, service provider, hardware, software, and policies governing the company. This may play a major role in improving the success rate of the company, despite its current weaknesses.
