The Role of Information Security Policy Ruben Ramirez CMGT 400 March 30, 2015 David Kell Security Threats Involving Ethics and Legal In our ever changing world, organizations are exposed to multiple types of security threats. This paper will be covering three information security threats that major retail companies are facing today. This shall be broken into three separate parts. Part one will cover the explanation of actual security threats with their legal and ethical ramifications. Next will be the explanation of security authentication process.
Unit 3 Assignment 1: Analyzing the Critical Security Control Points The following is a listing of security control points that any company should look at as necessary areas for precaution and care. Information covered by each area will be what each area consists of, how it strengthens the company security and what could happen if these areas are not properly maintained. 1. Inventory of Authorized and Unauthorized Devices and Software – a listing of processes and tools used to track/control/prevent/correct network access by devices and software. Attackers are always looking for devices and software that are newly added to a system and not updated correctly with the security measures in place already.
• Imagine you are a CISO of a publically traded company and concerned about security when sending any message traffic over the Internet to your remote sites. Determine the security measures you would consider implementing to mitigate security risks when sending message traffic over the Internet. Explain your reasoning. Teardrop – a mangled packet sent in fragments via overlapping or overloading payloads which could cause the systems as it has in the past with older OS versions. Sequence number – hijacked or interrupted TCP/IP sessions via injected packets that disguises its origination from one of the two computers in a session.
Discuss technology recommendations to meet the future business direction. Be sure to include a rationale for the security requirements and the business need for each priority. Discuss appropriate policies, regulations and technologies to ensure that field data/information is handled properly and securely when used, processed and transported via a laptop or tablet computer. Where appropriate, your recommendations should align with the vulnerabilities you identified in Q. 3.
This will help keep people out that aren’t supposed to be accessing the information (Jones and Bartlett Learning). The LAN to WAN domain is the third layer of the infrastructure I will discuss. I feel this is also affected by the “internal use only” standard. The TCP and UDP are not safe due the fact these are the enter and exit points of the network. This allows all the private information on the network at Richman Investments easy accessible for others outside of the network (Solomon).
Common Information Security Threats Paper CMGT/400 University of Phoenix January 27, 2013 In this day and age, technology has grown so fast that most of us are playing catch up to the people who were born in the “computer era”. As technology continues to advance, so do the threats; especially to businesses. Instead of having an upfront attack or robbery, they have chosen to go the electronic way. The one business that I would like to cover would be the banking industry. This institution is constantly being attacked, on a daily basis, with various methods.
Matthew Wilday Science, Ethics, and Technology Dr. Celeste Friend April, 5th, 2014 Do you want your private life to become public? In the article “Bigger Monster, Weaker Chains” Stanley and Steinhardt describe a world in which this exact situation happens and what would come to realization. They begin describe the tyrannical grasp the government has on surveillance and data collection, in addition the repercussions of this data reaching the outside world. Government and general surveillance is growing at an enormous rate in which Stanley and Steinhardt warn the public about. In addition give possible solutions to help ratify the problem.
How is cognitive technology affecting our society and lifestyle today? In our society today, we routinely depend on the internet and various technologies to assist us with the informational demands of our current modernized lifestyle. Both the internet and a wide range of technologies fundamentally offer us with a whole variety of research material, a prospect to investigate further into topics for additional information, and to noticeably increase the information accessible to us. Neuroscientists, psychologists and researchers in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) – that is, teaching computers how to mimic and even improve upon the human thinking processes, have come up with the term cognitive technology to describe how electronic devices and other tools can assist and influence humans’ mental activities, such as learning, retaining and retrieving information for memory and problem solving (W. Richard Walker, 2004). As technology itself becomes progressively entangled within our daily regimes, we must ask, how is cognitive technology affecting our society and lifestyle today?
All tools of social media are being tapped by various kinds of corporate houses at a fast pace in order to dramatically accelerate the rate of open innovation. However there is a difference between innovation and open innovation. Open innovation is about fetching internal and external resources and then acting upon those opportunities to bring better innovation to the market at a faster pace. Innovation is an intra organisation process and comprises of those discoveries that are kept highly secret. There is no flow of information from and to any kind of external sources.
Introduction Literature review Where it all begin Technology progressed further causing some disruption The impact on the industry & society Technology or 70s approach? Conclusion Introduction In my essay I will be investigating designers thoughts on the impact digital technologies have had on the graphic design process. I will be looking back on where it all began starting with firstly the tools that technology came together to create. I will be including research on how computers simplified the whole process and also at the downfalls technology had had on graphic design. I’m interested in this area, as I want to learn about the changes with graphic design as technology had progressed.
