E-Commerce and Cybercrime

Despite the presence of network security devices such as firewalls and other security appliances, today's corporate networks are still vulnerable to both internal and external attacks by hackers intent on creating havoc. By proactively

Identify at least 3-5 potential information security risks that the lab may be exposed to and propose counter measures for addressing those risks. Identify security technology and products that could be used to protect the lab environment from these risks. Use

Consider your case-study industry and the security discussions that are taking place there.  Consider the security discussions that are taking place in this seminar.  Delve into the models that have been explored and articulate what you and your colleagues think of these conceptual frameworks.  Assess the overall value of models and frameworks to your industry's security environment. Reference sources and the interview will be essential to the success of this particular assignment.

Which of the following has the ultimate and final responsibility for network security in an organization?

5. What are the three primary methods for implementing security on this network, as well as the advantages and disadvantages each?

Give a PowerPoint presentation that reports on the business risks of insecure networks and how they can be minimised.

Times have changed what was known as organized crime has been replaced by Cybercrimes (Heists: Cybercrimes with Ben Hammersley). Cybercrimes have risen dramatically in recent years and have become a major issue the United States and company’s face today jeopardizing as well as threatening the critical infrastructure of America (Cyberwar Threat, 2005). Sadly, the status quo of cyber security is very unstable with the advancements and growth which has put most individuals and businesses into an enormous threat (Agustina, 2015).

Some network security concerns that should be addressed is the physical component while damage can be inflicted on the network from remote terminal, an attacker with physical access is a much greater concern. The Global Accounting network system should be placed in a secure room where only essential personnel have access. Network devices such as the modem and router should be password protected

1. What are some of the emerging IT security technologies that should be considered in solving the Problem related to the case?

From the very first discussion where we were tasked to consider what a CIO should do, I was keenly aware of how our own perspectives were such a large part of how we phrased our responses. Regardless of the topic, thinking from the consumer perspective is different from the business or information technology perspective. In this class, it has become apparent that information technology has its own perspective and set of ethics. In this class, we tried to apply traditional ethics to the uses of information technology, but often found that they do not fit as seamlessly as other technologies have in the past. This is because of the business perspective, the uniqueness of the technology, and the uncontrollability and thus unaccountability of the internet. It is clear that both private citizens and corporations do not adhere to the same ethical beliefs when information technology is part of the equation. I realized that our perspectives are often an expression of our ethics.

I am hired as an Information Security Engineer for a videogame development company. The organization network structure is given in the diagram. I was notified that malicious activities are taking place in the network structure. They can effect protection of the intellectual property and highly sensitive data maintained by the organization. I am assigned to resolve these issues that arise in the network structure. In this document I will analyze and assess potential malicious attacks and threats that may be carried out against the network along with potential vulnerabilities that may exist in the documented network. Also I will tell the potential impact of all malicious attacks & threats and identified vulnerabilities to the network and

Prevalent to the current trend now is the dependency of the society on Information technology and communication systems. Every aspect of human life is one way or the other linked and controlled by information technology tools. The importance of information technology cannot be over emphasized as its unavailability could lead to a form of disaster or the other. Pivotal infrastructures like finance, healthcare, education and security are driven by information technology. However, information technology and its benefits are accompanied by vulnerabilities and risks that can be exploited by people with the necessary technical skills. Individuals like ‘Hackers’ and ‘Cyber Terrorist’ can cause disruption to information systems, commit financial fraud and also attack computers and networks. These attacks and disruptions could result to violence against people and properties. In some cases, death, serious injuries and severe economic loss could occur as a result of these attacks.

3. How is infrastructure protection (assuring the security of utility services) related to information security?

Cyber criminals take pride in creating chaos, and the chaos that cyber criminals inflict on their victims can be crippling to individuals and corporations. We have all heard about hackers getting information from major retail chains as well as information being leaked that included Social Security numbers for millions of people. We use the internet with somewhat of a naivete expectation that all of our information is safe. That is, until something untoward occurs, and then it can be all out panic.

Identify and describe the six components of an information system. Which are most directly affected by the study of computer security? Which are most commonly associated with its study?
