[Year 12 IT Apps] Security measures - Please Help!!!!!!!!!

[lisimms]

Like Russell, I would really like some assistance/clarification on the
two dotpoints mentioned below. The Nelson textbook goes into a lot of
detail on security equipment, what do the students actually need to
know????!

Subject: [Year 12 IT Apps] Security measures

Are there any takers for my questions of the 5th of September?

I would like to know

   1)  How much detail we need to give about "procedures and  
equipment for preventing unauthorised access to data and information  
and for minimising the less of data accessed by authorised users"

   2)  Whether there are prescribed "criteria for evaluating the  
effectiveness of data security management strategies".


My default approach would be

   1)  Skim through everything they have in Potts (p 231 - 242) but  
tell them they don't need to know any details  (because Potts seems  
to have gone off the Software Development definition of "security  
devices")

   2)  Provide a break-down: *effective* protection against  
accidental data corruption, deliberate data corruption, deliberate  
physical damage, natural disaster, done *efficiently*, i.e.  
inexpensively, inobtrusively and providing for fast recovery.

I'd very much like to know how others are approaching this!

cheers
