...Originating in the Bronx in the 1970s, the genre that would later become a global phenomenon grew substantially in the ’80s and, by the time the ’90s rolled around, had fully matured both artistically and commercially. When you think about hip hop in that decade, two names hover above the rest: 2Pac (“California Love”) and The Notorious B.I.G. (“Hypnotize”). If you’ll recall, though, the ’90s was also a period in which hip hop expanded from being purely a coastal phenomenon. Southern anthems like “Back That Thang Up” by Juvenile and Fiend, Silkk, Mia-X and Mystikal-featured Master P song, “Make Em Say Uhh!,” dominated the charts. Meanwhile, the East and West Coasts held it down with their own distinctive hits, respectively, including Jay-Z’s “Can I Get A…” and Warren G ft. Nate Dogg’s “Regulate.” If any of the aforementioned songs come on right now, in any region, hip hop fans will react. And that acknowledgment likely manifests with head bobbing, rapping along, or dancing. 38. “Summertime” – DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince Album: Homebase Year: 1991 Before Will hit it big with The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, this friends-since-childhood duo recorded a summer anthem that eventually won a Grammy for Best Rap Single in 1991 “I Wish” – Skee-lo Album: I Wish Year: 1991 . “Still Not A Player” – Big Punisher ft.

...CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION PROJECT CONTEXT Ordering system throughout the world has relied on pens and papers. Problems such as missing orders and information sent to the wrong place arise. Furthermore, some could not be able to handle the massive volume of orders. Under the old manual ordering systems, it takes up too much time to process. Real time ordering and improved efficiency has been the focus of entrepreneurs. As with many business scenarios, getting rid of paper improves efficiency, reduces human error and allows information to flow to an infrastructure without a time consuming data input process. There is also less chance of handwritten orders being misread and a higher customer turnaround as customers will be served faster.

...Be able to describe the various aspects of information security. Ensuring a secure network involves good design, implementation, and maintenance. The information in your organization is potentially vulnerable to both internal and external threats. Identify these threats and create methods of countering them before they happen. Be able to identify the potential physical, operational, and management policy decisions that affect your information security efforts. It isn’t good enough to have a plan if the plan is unsound or has gaping holes. You must make sure that the plans you develop and the procedures you follow to ensure security make sense for the organization and are effective in addressing the organization’s needs. Be able to explain the relative advantages of the technologies available to you for authentication. You have many tools available to establish authentication processes. Some of these tools start with a password and user ID. Others involve physical devices or the physical characteristics of the person who is requesting authentication. This area is referred to as I&A. Be able to explain the relative capabilities of the technologies available to you for network security. In most situations, you can create virtual LANs, create connections that are encrypted, and isolate high-risk assets from low-risk assets. You can do so using tunneling, DMZs, and network segmenting. Be able to identify and describe the goals of information security. The three primary...

...IT control objectives are related to the business enterprise’s confidentiality, integrity, availability of data, and the overall management of the IT functions. There are two types of IT controls: IT general controls, which are controls over the IT environment, computer operations, access to programs and data, program development and program changes; and IT application controls, which refer to transaction processing controls (“Information Technology Controls”, 2013). IT General Controls are the foundation of a company’s IT control structure. With IT General Controls, data that is generated can be deemed more reliable and assertion that systems are operating as intended is supported. IT General Controls usually include controls that are designed to: * Shape the corporate environment through control environment; * Ensure that changes are authorized and meet business requirements through changes in management procedures; * Protect the integrity of program controls through source code/document version controls procedures; * Ensure effective management of IT projects through software development life cycle standards; * Manage access based upon business needs through logical access policies, standards and processes; * Address operational processing errors through incident management policies and procedures; * Identify and address operational processing errors through problem management policies and procedures; * Policies that help users to perform...

...types of DSL and the types could be divided as asymmetrical and symmetrical. ADSL is the most common type of DSL that connect home network to the Internet through telecommunications switches. The DSL connection needs a DSL model to alternate signals between the telephone line and the computer. DSL makes use of the existing telephone infrastructure as the dial-up access. However, it applies the technique of frequency-division multiplexing which decides the channel into 3 separate links. Therefore, DSL could provide higher transmission rate and guarantee the users to talk on the phone simultaneously. Broadband or cable Internet access is another prevalent residential access method. A residence obtains cable Internet access from the same company that supports it cable television. As with DSL, cable access is asymmetric, with the downstream channel possesses a higher transmission rate. The difference is that cable Internet access is a shared broadcast medium. Therefore, if there are several users utilize the downstream channel simultaneously, the actual transmission rate is lower. Dean mentioned: “cable broadband access continues to service the majority of residential customers, whereas DSL is more popular among business customers.” (Dean, 2009) Diagram [pic] [pic] Speeds of DSL and Cable Theoretically, the speed of cable could be approximately 30 Mbps. On the other hand, DSL...

...Ken Schmid Unit 3 Assignment 1 Remote Access Control Policy for Richman Investments Authorization- Richman Investments must define rules as to who has access to which computer and network resources. My suggestion is that RI implements either a group membership policy or an authority-level policy to achieve this. Group policy would allow the administrator to assign different privileges to different groups. The admin would then assign different individual users to those different groups. So the users permissions would depend on the permissions of the group they were a member of. With authority-level policy the admin would assign different permissions to individual users based on their position and authority level within the company and what access that position requires. Identification- Richman Investments needs to assign a unique identifier to each user in order to have accurate records of who is accessing, or trying to access, what applications, which network resource, and what data. The most common ID is the username, account number, or PIN Authentication- In order to keep the remote access to Richman Investments secure, there must be proof that the person trying to gain access to the network remotely is the same person who has been granted access by identification. To do this RI can choose one of the following knowledge type authentications: PIN, password, or passphrase along with one of the following ownership type of authentication: smart card, key, badge...

The submitter must sign the request and indicate which systems the new user will need access to and what level of access will be needed. A manager’s approval is required to grant administrator access.”(Heart-Healthy Insurance Information Security Policy) Current Password Requirements The current password requirements section of the policy states: “Passwords must be at least eight characters long and contain a combination of upper- and lowercase letters. Shared passwords are not permitted on any system that contains patient information. When resetting a password, users cannot reuse any of the previous six passwords that were used. Users entering an incorrect password more than three times will be locked out for at least 15 minutes before the password can be reset.”(Heart-Healthy Insurance Information Security Policy) Heart Healthy Insurance Information Security Policy and Update Proposed User Access Policy The purpose of the User Access Policy is to provide access to Heart-Healthy’s network infrastructure and to ensure appropriate access to all of Heart-Healthy’s information resources.

...infrastructure: User Domain, Workstation Domain, LAN Domain, LAN-to-WAN Domain, WAN Domain, Remote Access Domain, and System/Application Domain. Each domain has their own unique risks, threats, and vulnerabilities that need to be mitigated in order to ensure our company’s security. In the User Domain the first thing that should be done is create an acceptable use policy (AUP). An AUP defines what users are allowed to do with organization-owned IT assets. Violation of the terms defined in the AUP can be grounds for dismissal. We will require staff and other 3rd parties to sign a confidentiality agreement to keep private data confidential. In addition to signing a confidentiality agreement, some positions may require criminal background checks to help ensure security. Here at Richman Investments we need to conduct security awareness training, insert reminders in banner greetings, and send email reminders to employees with security related tips. Disabling internal CD drives and USB ports will help keep employees from accessing personal photos, music, and videos at work. Also enabling automatic virus scans for email attachments and all new files that reach the workstation. The Workstation Domain is where most users connect to the IT infrastructure. A Workstation can include a computer, smartphone or any other device that connects to our network. Staff should not have unnecessary access to the system or any application not needed to be productive. This includes disabling applications...

...Ken Miller Senior Consultant Ensuren Corporation KEYWORDS Plant Controls, Layered Security, Access Control, Computing Environment, Examination, Detection, Prevention, Encryption, Compartmentalization ABSTRACT Process control vendors are migrating their plant control technologies to more open network and operating environments such as Unix, Linux, Windows, Ethernet, and the Internet Protocol. Migrating plant controls to open network and operating environments exposes all layers of the computing environment to unauthorized access. Layered security can be used to enhance the level of security for any computing environment. Layered security incorporates multiple security technologies in each computing layer to provide resistance to unauthorized intrusion, while reducing the risk of failure from a single technology. Layered security requires acceptance of a model, development of an access control plan, compartmentalization of the network, and implementation of core security products that address examination, detection, prevention, and encryption. Layered security is considered a “best practice” in any computing environment, and should be widely used in critical control environments. INTRODUCTION Plant control environments have traditionally been built on proprietary technology. This proprietary technology provided a reasonable level of security from unauthorized access due to its “closed” nature, and lack of connection to business networks and the Internet. However...

...promote an inclusive and equitable work culture to effectively thrive in an increasingly globalised, competitive business environment. HR records encompass a wide range of data relating to individuals working in an organisation, which may be stored in a variety of media, such as computer database or paper files. There and advantages and disadvantages to both media: 1.1 Paper records/ Paper Files: A risk analysis needs to focus on the secure storage and the prevention of threats such as fire or theft and relevant personnel can only access those files. There are legal requirements that employees are required to meet in terms of the length of time that specific documents are to be retained, so thought needs to be given to storage space and all files must be easily retrieved and accessed when required. The business must implement and maintain a good document discipline, i.e. no paper should be left laying around for unauthorised access, and a clean desk at night policy must be mandatory. However, there are some benefits to collecting and retaining paper files. Paper files are not susceptible to computer viruses, they are user friendly, and there are benefits to their portability. Paper Files supporting HR: This system of saving files proves particularly helpful while signing important job contacts, Signing of important legal documents that show...
