Confidential documents detection is a key activity in data leakage prevention methods. Once the document is marked as confidential, then it is possible to prevent data leakage from that document. Confidential terms are significant terms, which indicate confidential content in the document. This paper presents confidential terms detection method using language model with Dirichlet prior smoothing technique. Clusters are generated for training dataset documents (confidential and non-confidential documents). Language model created separately for confidential and non-confidential documents. Expand non-confidential language model in a cluster using similar clusters, which helps to identify the confidential content in the non-confidential documents. …show more content…
In the year 2009, Verizon Business RISK team submitted a Data Breach Investigation Report [2], this report analyzed 90 data breaches occurring in the year 2008. According to nonprofit consumer organization Privacy Right Clearing house [3], the United states have a total of 227,052,199 records of confidential personal information between the year January 2005 and May 2008.Organizations require a set of laws and rules to protect their confidential information. Some of the laws are Sarnes-Oxley Act (SOX) [4], HIPPA [5], and Gramm-Leach Bliley act [6]. All these laws focus on specific type of business information. Some recent leakage incidents selected from [4].All these data leakage incidents point out that, organizations should focus more on their security …show more content…
The existing confidential detection methods cannot check the non-confidential documents but the intruder may send confidential data through non-confidential documents [8]. Fig 1 represents the pictorial representation of the confidential terms detection method [8].

2.1 Unsupervised Clustering
For unsupervised clustering, two types of documents are required, C confidential documents and N, non-confidential documents. Clustering process, grouping documents (confidential and non-confidential) into different
In addition, the business data will be stored on these devices, being or not protected only by the individual security awareness of each employee. Therefore, it is likely that the confidentiality of corporate data will be compromised if an employee’s device is lost or stolen. Take Godiva, a chocolate manufacturer, as an example. On November 25, 2014, they notified employees of the company of a data breach when a Human Resources employee, who was traveling to retail sites, had a briefcase stolen from a car. The briefcase contained a laptop that had employee information on it.
Moreover, management should conduct privacy protocol training, so everyone is on the same page. The policy needs to state clearly the company’s rules about protecting customer’s personal data. Also, staff needs to know that there will be monitoring of phone calls and well as computer activity and emphasizes that per Muhl, (2003) “an employee’s personal use of an employer’s e-mail system and Internet access is not protected under the law.” Hence, organizations can encounter legal troubles due the inappropriate use of the system. The privacy of customer is important, and it needs protection.
Step 1: Create a cluster having N number of nodes using the formula Cm,k. For all m=0,1,2……N-1 K=1,2,……... logN Step2: Assume that all the nodes in the network can i nitiate the diagnosis and all the nodes are fault free at the initial stage of algorithm execution. Step 3: Start the Diagnosis process: Repeat for K=1 to log N Do Send i_hb( p, q , Dq, init_hb_msg) Set_Timeout (Tout)
Output: return true if there is a new cluster 1.Begin 2. seed={∀ point q|q is unclassified} 3. If N_ε(q,Eps) <
Clients have their individuals’ rights for privacy thwarted in a way that although the release of customer’s information is to be used for the identification of possible terrorists, there is no impediment that the very information is actually utilized for other reasons, including nefarious ones. This Act fundamentally ignores some of important privacy laws and gives to the American government unprecedented surveillance powers in regards to eavesdropping in order to gather intelligence and to enforce laws. While it is clear that the balance of power has shifted towards law enforcement , it is also clear that the surveillance does not end within districts or township libraries. Quite the contrary it has reached ones’ residential doorways and this can indeed damage the reputation of the United States as the leader of human
Introduction Employees are the most often cited cause of a successful cyberattack. (Socialnomics) There is no definitive single source that answers your question, but Verizon’s 2015 Data Breach Investigations Report revealed that 50% of all security breaches were caused by people inside the organization. (CNBC) In a more recent statistic indicated that over 90% of successful cyberattacks traced back to an employee who unintentionally gives away their system’s ID or access credentials.
This model is based on assigning security labels called security clearances to all object and users according to the specified classification. Thus, it enables a user read the objects which have the same label or smaller. For example, if considering the following classification of security levels: Unclassified – Confidential – Secret – Top Secret (each level dominates the previous), the user possessing a label “Secret” is not able to access the information labeled as “Top Secret” [1]. The information flow from dominating level to lower level is regulated by the “Read down” and “Write up” principles. The integrity of information is also regulated by the two principles “Read up” and “Write down”

Search the Internet to find a recent case of a database breach and post the link, summarize the incident, and express your legal and ethical concerns. I chose Home Depot because I am an account and stockholder for this company. Hackers breached Home Depot’s network by installing a malware that stole account holder’s log on credentials, payment data, and email address information. The success of Home Depot had grown significantly since the recession and was the most successful of all stores in the home improvement industry. Somewhere along line of great success, their database was compromised due to insufficient security, which alarmed some 56 million-account holders.
In 2007, government leaders in Minnesota established their “rules of Civil Procedure” which was similar to that of the Supreme Court (Posselist, 2010).On the other hand, the state of New Jersey implemented the original law presented by the Supreme Court without any modification (Posselist, 2010). Instead of changing the law, states such as: Kansas, Ohio and Virginia augmented it by adding more stipulations (Posselist, 2010). Many people believe that the eDiscovery project and organizational leaders don’t provide enough security measures to protect their information. However, many employees and users of the Microsoft Outlook program are not aware of the numerous downfalls associated with the program which can increase security concerns. First, it is very easy to erase an attached file from an email or manipulate the document, despite the storage location (Lindsey, 2013).
Every organization is at risk for breach, but the difference between entities will be reflected in how they implement policies, procedures and corrective actions. For example, changes to the HIPAA rules regarding the accounting of health information disclosures expected this year have the potential to dramatically expand HIM and release of information (ROI) responsibilities and pose operational challenges. Every step within the release of information should be addressed through training, with these particular areas: front desk personnel, document identification and the pre-shipment validation. Finally, just prior to submission to the requester, release of information staff should always validate that only the uniquely authorized information has been included an that the information imported into the release of information process for disclosure belongs exclusively to that patient. If this is the case, the the release of information staff must implement and perform quality control measures to validate that another patient's information was not inadvertently imaged or indexed to the original patient's
For operational purposes, the company collects and stores confidential information about their customers, employees, suppliers, and vendors. For purposes of their rewards program, the company collects sensitive and confidential consumer information. Although security measures and information technology systems have been put in place to ensure secure transmission and storage of confidential information, security breaches, computer viruses, or even human error can occur. Any of these events could cause data to be lost or stolen, as well as disclosed and used with malicious intent. Such occurrence could lead to litigation, fines, increased security costs, and damage to
The Singapore Nursing Board (SNB) Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct states that confidentiality means to protect the privacy of clients’ personal information (SNB, 2014). According to Lockwood (2005), confidentiality could be viewed as information that a doctor learns about a
The principle of confidentiality means not passing on personal information about the families, children or colleagues that staff work with. It also means a set of rules or a promise that limits access or places restrictions on certain types of information. Confidentiality means not sharing information about people without their knowledge and agreement, and ensuring that written and electronic information cannot be accessed or read by people who have no reason to see it. Confidentiality is important because: -The person who does not keep information confidential, cannot be trusted.
INTRODUCTION The two important techniques for providing security are cryptography and steganography. Both are well known and widely used methods in information security. One of the reasons why attackers become successful in intrusion is that they have an opportunity to read and comprehend most of the information from the system. Intruders may reveal the information to others, misuse or modify the information, misrepresent them to an individual/ organisation or use them to plan even some more severe attacks.
