Access

The logical protection recommended involves user identification and password, access rights and authority levels, as well as the authentication.

There are various measures that should be taken to prevent attacks. Some of the measures include changing default passwords immediately, identifying entry points, performing attack and penetration tests, making user-awareness campaigns, configuring firewalls, implementing and using password policies, using the password-less authentication, removing or deleting comments in website source code, and removing unnecessary services from devices among others (Tipton & Krause, 2003).

The best step is to inform employees and involve all that are able to help, for instance, the PR and communication team, tech specialists, client service managers, and ensure external stakeholders. The rules are to be open and sincere, provide details, mitigate, educate, and invite to dialogue. In essence, VPN usually provide some secure remote access via the internet instead of the direct dial-up connections. Security checks can be verified by tracking and managing background checks, reporting availability, collecting and storing information, accessing all archived candidate reports, securing authentication with the user account expiration among others (Tipton & Krause, 2003).
