Private Investigators LLC
Controls and Countermeasures
Private Investigators Limited Liability Company (LLC) has a small office with one server and six workstations. This LLC partnership hosts its own website that allows clients to log in and enter case information. An evaluation of the network and security configuration to determine threats and weakness to the existing system has been completed. A list of the top five associated threats for the Server, Workstations, and Website are outlined below. The following memo discusses the likelihood of the threats occurrence and recommended security controls and countermeasures that should be used to mitigate these threats.
Shown illustrated below are network drawings of the current

The shutting down of unused ports of protocols that may allow attackers back-door sessions or alternate data streams to existing devices. These connections can be used to modify or steal data stored or accessed by the local devices.
5. Password Management: Authentication processes to prevent unauthorized users from accessing computers, applications, and network devices. Attackers will exploit weak or default passwords to gain access to launch attacks on additional equipment on the network. A3.
Website Threats
1. Input Validation: Web Servers are susceptible to buffer overflow attacks, cross-site scripting, SQL injection, and canonicalization. An attacker uses programming techniques to cause Website application lock-up, data corruption, and security vulnerabilities.
2. Authentication: Threats such as network eavesdropping, brute force attack, dictionary attack, cookie replay, and credential theft are used to exploit passwords and authentication techniques that protect the Website. If an attacker can break weak or default passwords of the system or applications that reside on the physical webserver they have control or
“own” the site.
3. Authorization: Elevation of privilege, discloser of confidential data, data tampering, and luring attacks are possible if controls are not in place to prevent them. This would allow attacks to gain control of the system, steal data, and load malware to future exploit other network devices.
“A good recipe for an FTO would be to mix portions of Sheriff Buford Pusser from “Walking Tall,” Sherlock Holmes, and Officer Pete Malloy from “Adam-12.” It would then tell you to bake them together and frost them with a glaze of the patient bemusement and gentle common sense of Andy Griffith’s Sheriff Andy Taylor” (Scoville, 2005, para. 2).

It is important to remember that each area of learning and development does not work in isolation but they are all in fact interlinked. Good quality activities will cover more than one area of development. For example, allowing children to access the outdoors will not only support their physical development, but encourage their communication and exploration of their environment. Where a child experiences a delay in one area, it is likely to limit their learning and development in the other five...a child with cerebral palsy who experiences hand-eye coordination difficulties is likely to find completing a puzzle difficult therefore hindering
In September 2002 the IASB and the FASB agreed to work together, in consultation with other national and regional bodies, to remove the differences between international standards and US GAAP. (Dorata, 2008) However, the convergence of IFRS and FASB is coming to the end. (Golden, 2013)
The FASB ASC 330 Inventory provides primary authoritative guidance for the accounting for inventory. The predecessor literature is Accounting Research Bulletins (ARB) No.43 Chapter 4, paragraph 4 (Issued June, 1953) and Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) NO.151 Inventory cost- an amendment of ARB No.43, Chapter 4 (Issued November, 2004).
4. What problems under the old system are solved or mitigated by the new system?
According to the assigned article, "Health Disparity and Structural Violence: How Fear Undermines Health Among Immigrants at Risk for Diabetes," narratives tell the story of the interconnectedness between fear and health. Thematically, the issue of fear is a dominant feature that affects how an individual approaches day-to-day living and health. Explain the relationship between fear and health identified by the researchers in the article. Do you agree that structural violence perpetuates health disparity?
A hacker attacks an easy target first, and then uses it to hide his identity and traces of launching attacks at more secured sites. The aim of an attack is to gain complete control of the system (in order to edit, delete, install or execute any file in any user’s directory), often by gaining access to a “ super-user” account. This will allow both maximum access and the ability to hide your presence.

RATIONALE: Each fracture site would be coded separately. The C1 fracture would be coded with 805.01, and the C2 fracture with 805.02. As reported in the Indication section, this was an MVC of an unspecified nature, and the patient was the driver. E819 is the code for MVC of unspecified nature with the 4th digit of 0 to show the patient was driving.
Frumherj is a car inspection company in Iceland. They are one of the largest in the country, but they want to continue to grow and to outpace their competitors. However, there are some inefficiencies in their process that must be addressed before they can meet their goals. One of their first problems is maintaining an even flow in their process environment. Due to the nature of the inspections and the cold weather in Iceland, they are much more busy in the summer that they are in the winter. This makes it difficult to keep the right amount of employees. There is little they can do to avoid this problem, but rather they should examine their historical data to determine how many employees they will need in order to meet expected
In the three maintained products the threats and risks are to be identified. Such as the data base securing, user identification, authorizing proper managers, protections from hackers and updated firewalls and less vulnerable software.
One of the techniques that a hackers may use to try to access your access is called a brute force method of attack. Brute force methods use computer software to try thousands of combinations of username and passwords. WordFence, a security plugin mentioned earlier, did a study on the websites they protect and in a 16 hour window there were six million brute force password attempts to seventy-two thousand individual websites (“Wordfence Secuirty”, 2017). One way to combat this is to limit the login attempts a user can make to your website. If you limit the login attempts to a reasonable number, like 3, then if a login fails thrice, the user is locked out for a predetermined length of time before they can try again. This stops brute force
The main problems with the existing system and goals for the future system identified as below:
There are two types of theses but both have their own problems. The first "checks every password possible from the entry site." (1) The second uses a program that goes in and reads the passwords off. The problem with both is that you have to "get the cracker into the site, undetected"(1) You also must cover you trail. Some prefer the manual method first. "There are actually lists of 100(or more) most-used passwords."(2) Hackers have reported that, "a simple password that appears in the English dictionary will take about an hour or less for a hacker to crack."(4) "This is not considered a long time to a hacker."(Brian 2) Third, they use what is called web spoofing. This is the most dangerous because they see what every you are doing. They can get you passwords plus any other information you might have. This web spoofing is caused by a middle man who can redirect information from your page, to his page, to the page you were sending the information to. "The middle man sees all."(How are they getting my password? 3) This is above all the easiest way to get any information that they might want or need. The last method is through Java. Through a program they can hack into a computers hard drive through your Java program. That is why if you can avoid keeping your passwords on your hard drive do it. Some people keep their passwords on three by five cards and store them which is allot safer. The best method to
