Abstract :
Computer Security is a concept of protection designated to information system to accommodate the fundamental security objectives for data, information and computer services [1]. The goal of this research paper is to implement a security plan for the Lawson healthcare organization to assist with protecting and providing a secure information transmission and exchange of public and private data. The current healthcare security system is outdated and it does not protect public or private data exchange across the network. There are IT personnel who are uneducated on the security mechanism to prevent security risks within the daily operations of the healthcare systems. The development of new operational security architecture is to reduce threats and educate the IT personnel of techniques to improve the outdated security mechanism being used in the Healthcare organization. We have used Lawson healthcare as a case study; however, this knowledge can be applied to any healthcare organization.
