Boosting Network Security in Organizations

CURRENT GAPS AND ANTICIPATED CHANGES

When companies combine, a number of gaps may arise in relation to various issues

facing information sharing. However, this may begin at the organizational structure where the

requirements, as well as the policies of one company, may collide or not elaborately integrate

with the other company’s and thus create a gap that may interfere with the security of the

resultant company. These policies may require being changed so as to create uniformity and

ensure that they follow the current standards in terms of security and accountability. When a

company is created after a combination of two others, there is often a need to share information

between the two. As reported by US Department of Health and Human Services (2017), the

network that the companies create or utilize to share information should be elaborately analyzed

for security flaws so as to ensure that it meets the Health Insurance Portability and

Accountability Act (HIPAA) thresholds and guidelines. If one company was making use of

weaker connections such as dial-up, this may require being changed so as to ensure that a more

secure connection is established on one node of the premises. In fact, Cocuranu et al. (2013)

propose dedicated networks in order to boost HIPAA adherence. While joining these

connections, the companies should identify and address any reasonably anticipated threats such

as malicious access through escalating the security. Another change that may be required is the

upgrading of the network servers so as to accommodate the anticipated increase in traffic as data

is exchanged across the wide new company.
