Companies such as this are required not only legally, but ethically to protect the customers’ private information or be held accountable by law. It is also bad practice to allow this sensitive information to be disseminated and stolen by cyber criminals. Since this kind of data must be protected at all costs, certain regulations were put in place so that standards for information security could be monitored. One of these standards is that all personal information is to be encrypted when being sent over the internet and also on the servers. This will make it much harder for the hacker to access the information easily.
Based on the case study, risk factors that affected outsourcing process included ethical concern, quality and patent protection. Late delivery would affect its market and general market positions. This would have negative impact on Metrovox’s reputation such that the company feared it would trigger both consumer protests and boycotts. The solution relied on the company’s code of conduct.

Robbin Industries is jeopardizing itself by not properly reporting the advertising costs.
IS3445 – Security Strategies in Web Applications and Social Networking Unit 1 Lab 1 Assessment Doug Stott Mr.Gibbins 10/1/14 1. From the results of lab #1 – Business Application impact analysis worksheet, what do you consider to be the greatest type of risk and why? The greatest risk is hackers having access to data because it can lead to identity theft. 2. Why is it critical to perform periodic web application vulnerability assessments and penetration tests?
According to Rainer & Turban (2008), “By 2007, Amazon had spent 12 years and some $2 billion building the infrastructure of its online store, which is among the biggest and most reliable in the world.” However, Amazon does not use but a small amount of its processing capacity at any one-time so the company decided to provide a series of computing, storage, and other services that make its infrastructure available to companies and individuals to help them run the technical and logistical parts of their businesses (Rainer & Turban, 2008). The three services are Simple Storage Service (S3), the Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), and the Mechanical Turk. However, competition is steadily increasing with other Web sites such as Google and Microsoft for it to become the preferred first stop on the Web (Rainer & Turban, 2008). MySpace and YouTube, websites owned by Google, have become prime places for many people to gather online
Case Study #1: Port Scans and Ping Sweeps Your boss has just heard about some nefarious computer activities called ping sweeps and port scans. He wants to know more about them and what their impact might be on the company. Write a brief description of what they are, and include your assessment of whether the activities are something to worry about or not. The impact that can be inflicted upon a company by the use of port scans and ping sweeps can be quite dangerous and cause major issues to the vulnerability of information; if these are used nefariously to gain unauthorized access to company records. To begin with, the definition of a port scan is, “The examination of TCP and UDP ports to determine which are open and what services are running.
For this part we will be examining the security features needed in each section of the new system, the data, interface, processes, and network, and finally will end with a diagram of the data flow throughout the system. One of the most important factors in any system is the security of that system. If a system was unsecure, than that system is vulnerable to malicious attack and malware of all types. For a company, this can mean a theft of important data and even worse, a loss of revenue from trying to secure the system and from possible lawsuits. Because of the way that each part of the system functions, each part will have its’ own “type” of security, which will come together to ensure almost absolute system security.
Ping sweeps and port scans has been a notorious and yet a useful tool for hackers and system administrators. Ping sweeps and port scans at times can be a nuisance to system administrators. Ping sweeps and port scans work together and can be dangerous but it also can be prevented. A ping sweep, also known as an Internet Control Message Protocol sweep (ICMP) is a basic
According to Leung, personality has three distinct properties are of central importance: (1) personality reflects individual differences. Personality allow us to categorize consumers into different groups; (2) personality is consistent and enduring; and (3) personality can change.
