The physical locations
Physical location is very important due to IT security needed by the hospital. Computer systems and the network must be protected at the physical level to avoid the sophisticated features that can harm their existence. Being the heart of the physical network the server room consists of the servers, cables, routers, switches and other key devices that can disadvantage the operations in the hospital if accessed by intruders. The hospital decided to choose a more secure physical location for the workstations and the servers. Good locks and electric fence will shun away third parties who may invade the workstation to steal the computer systems (British Columbia, 2010). It will be important to protect the printers in safe rooms since they also store important information. Physical security of the printed documents should be a guarantee and the printed confidential information should be shredded away to minimize the chances of attackers on the locality. The health records and information department will be located inside the hospital major building. In the workstation, the printers and other computer systems will be more secure from unauthorized access and theft. The computers will consist of case locks that offer security and no individual can operate a computer without a key.
How to provide information to gain users confidence
Installing hardware and software
When connecting the hardware, the computer and the back switch must be turned off. The wires connected to the tower must be unplugged in the process. The motherboard is connected to the motherboard tray using a screw after which it is then slide in the case. The RAM is inserted at the top right of the motherboard. The Central Processing Unit is attached to the square-shaped socket located in the motherboard. Finally, ensure that the CPU fan is placed at the top. To test software, I will use the White-Box testing to check the internal structures of computer programs. The health information program will be tested to check whether it suits the intended purpose. The application programming interface testing will be the most frequently used in software testing.
