Article Review II

The great majority of today's cybercrime may be characterised by a set of shared ideologies and behaviours. If you would want a comprehensive response to your assertions, please include any relevant reference.

Nearly a decade has passed since the National Academy of Engineers declared Cyber Security a "grand challenge for the next century." Every day there is news on ways in which cyber security challenges and responses are complicating every aspect of our lives. Can the challenge be solved? As a first step to solving any problem, one must understand its nature. So, it is important for all cyber security analysts to keep on top of news stories in the field. In this discussion forum we will do just that with the hope that everyone will make it a daily habit throughout their career. Today, some cyber news has been flooded out of the headlines by Hurricane Harvey, but as noted in this article, cyber concerns are front and center as students return to school.

Find an application in which a reliable Information Management System is needed. We must collect extremely sensitive information from our consumers and store it in our system. These details are submitted to us in electronic format. Even from ourselves, we must protect our consumers' secrecy; we must not see the information they present to us, otherwise the confidentiality will be jeopardised. As an information security officer, the duty is to double-check the validity of sensitive documents before storing them with the proper users. You have no access to the users' usernames and passwords, which you can save but not recover until the user gives you permission. Second, even though the whole database is compromised or robbed, you must encrypt the passwords and usernames to make it difficult for everyone to access them. (including server administrators) besides the users.Which cryptographic mechanisms, based on your knowledge of computer security, would you enforce in order to operate the…

Suppose that you are appointed as Chief Security Office (CSO) in an organization which deals with very critical and classified resources. The resources are so highly confidential that only authorized personnel should be given access to this facility. Access to unauthorized people may cause severe threats to national security. This facility is newly built and currently doesn’t have any automated information technology-based authentication system. After being appointed as CSO, the first task you have been assigned is to design an IT based authentication system which verifies the identity of a person when he/she wants to access the facility. Propose and explain an authentication system which can be used for verification of employees to let only those personnel give access to classified resources who have proper access rights. Please note that single factor authentication may not serve the purpose well.

Physical security is highly distinct from other forms of security in how much and how frequently it is different from other security types. We need to know what the most serious physical security risks of our day are, so we can defend ourselves. Do they make themselves known to the broader public in any way?

Assume you've been named Chief Security Officer (CSO) of a company that deals with highly sensitive and classified information. Because the materials are so sensitive, only authorised people should have access to this facility. Unauthorized access could pose a serious threat to national security. This facility is very new, and there is currently no automated information technology-based authentication mechanism in place. The first assignment you were given after being appointed as CSO was to build an IT-based identification system that checks a person's identity when he or she wishes to use the facility. Propose and describe an authentication system that can be used to verify employees and allow only those personnel with proper access rights to access classified resources. Please keep in mind that single factor authentication may not be sufficient.
