Week 08 Posting - Insight for my Milestone Assignment.

 This week's chapter was exactly what I needed to help me find more information about my chosen topic for my milestone research paper. Many of the resources I found and have been using have been discussing individual settings for user account controls and maintaining security on a personal level. A ton of information has been going in-depth down into individual settings to increase security, but I found nothing about network-wide settings for managing user accounts on the group scale and allowing specified groups of employees to access parts of the network that others shouldn't. This can be done in groups, as opposed to managing each employee one at a time. So much goes into even making sure an upstanding employee won't be able to gain access or accidentally delete crucial system data by entering parts of the network they have no reason to be in. Forgetting that network security means more than trying to prevent malicious hackers, externally or internally, can be fatal. Sometimes, a wrong click on the wrong folder can lead an employee down a rabbit hole of files they have no reason to access, which can lead to devastating consequences depending on the data's sensitivity.
