...Justice and Security | Public Policing versus Private Security Comparison | AJS/502 | Latisha Lipsey | 5/19/2014 | | Public policing and private security have many similarities as well as differences. There are a couple of different fields of policing, which include private security and public policing. State government, city government, and towns provide the community with public policing to enforce laws and serve and protect the citizens (The Debate on Private Versus Public Policing, 2007). Private security functions include loss prevention duties or protective services. Private security also specializes in closed circuit monitoring services, secret level clearance, and patrol. Public policing has the right to arrest, where as private policing does not have the right to arrest, but they are able to detain someone until law enforcement arrives (The Debate on Private Versus Public Policing, 2007). There are some cases where private security goes undercover, which is similar to public policing, this is to blend in with the environment and also used as asset protection. The vision between public policing and private security has been a little blurred through the years, private police look like and at times behave like public police, and there are also similarities of the job activities and responsibilities (The Debate on Private Versus Public Policing, 2007). But there is a huge difference between the two, in which the hiring process for public includes a physical...

...ISM4220 Lesson 10 Research Assignment: Banks with EDI/XML Techniques Gregory Harris Palm Beach State College Abstract A VPN makes use of public communications but maintains personal information through a tunneling protocol – such as the P2P tunneling protocol – and security procedures. Over the Internet, a VPN uses public circuits that lots of users share. With some changes like high security measures, it can be created that only you can access and understand thoroughly. It is also an example of a creative use of the Internet. A VPN offers some advantages, but only if the Internet is used as a transfer medium. It can be created between any two points and is relatively economical. Also, if an Internet connection is achieved, the data that is transferred is free. A VPN also has a couple disadvantages, though. Its design and implementation can be complex, and reliability might become a factor. EDI is an electronic transaction between two companies. The bank’s funds can also be electronically transferred, too. VPN communications link isn’t completely private, so a better option would be to use some leased telephone lines. Some banks might need the telephone company to install a special circuit, though. There are some speeds (measured in Mbps); however, higher speeds can be more costly to implement. Establishment of EDI/XML Techniques A virtual private network (VPN) is a data network connection that makes use of the public telecommunications infrastructure but maintains personal...

...Case Study 2: Public Key Infrastructure Due Week 6 and worth 50 points You are the Information Security Officer at a small software company. The organization currently utilizes a Microsoft Server 2008 Active Directory domain administered by a limited number of over-tasked network administrators. The remainder of the organization comprises mostly software developers and a relatively small number of administrative personnel. The organization has decided that it would be in its best interest to use a public key infrastructure (PKI) to provide a framework that fosters confidentiality, integrity, authentication, and nonrepudiation. Email clients, virtual private network products, Web server components, and domain controllers would utilize digital certificates issued by the certificate authority (CA). Additionally, digital certificates would be used to sign software developed by the company to demonstrate software authenticity to the customer. Write a two to three (2-3) page paper in which you: 1. Identify and analyze the fundamentals of PKI. 2. Analyze positive and negative characteristics of a Public and In-house CA. 3. Provide a sound recommendation for either a Public CA or an In-house CA.

It would combine theory and practice. To buttress our understanding of practice, we would do some case studies and also have practitioners give a Street Talk every week; some of them may discuss live projects and I may pitch in with my experience with past ones I have been directly involved in. Moreover, we would have both qualitative and quantitative discussions on most topics, the latter mainly being numerical examples (not any rocket science or high-flying calculus). Though we would talk about the global scenario, our focus, whenever possible, would be on Asia. After gaining an idea into what IB is and understanding the basics of Trading, we would study in detail the capital-raising process, mainly Underwriting and Syndication. Here, we would learn about IPO and SEO and ADR and GDR as well as about NIF and RUF. We would also get familiar with Euromarket and the innovative Euro instruments like Euronote and Euro-CP as well as Eurobond and Euroequity. This would also give an opportunity to get a glimpse into Financial Engineering in debt and equity instruments as well as about Structured...

... Abstract: Early policing was an unorganized concept throughout civilization as rules and laws attempted to be by use armies of various kingdoms and other countries. Over the course of time a thought emerged that a more formal policing of the citizens could be accomplished by the creation of a police model that could free up military personnel while establishing law and order throughout areas with the premise that citizens could be coerced into believing that arrest would be the deterrent while protecting the public at large. This assignment will look at the early roots of policing, a man with a vision that changed the way of thinking that modernized policing in the 1800’s and how the connection is made to the present day, and the challenges and other ways policing is conducted. While history shows us that policing up to the 1820’s in England was an affair of money that was the policing policy of the day. If people were wealthy, they were far more protected from criminal activity than the poor. Although it can be said that policing did have some results that could be considered effective, the argument can be made that class certainly had...
