...Legal Issues in Information Security 14 Executive Summery on Risk Mitigation Unit 9 ASSIGNMENT 1 ASSIGNMENT The protection of records that pertain to students is crucial in ensuring that their safety is not compromised. In doing so the following three things must be addressed in a very detailed and stringent manner. Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability. These three facets of security are detrimental in the handling of information, whether it is student records or bank transaction records. C-I-A is a good practice when maintaining information and insuring the proper handling of said information. We will discuss here how C-I-A combined with FERPA will help to reduce mishandling and misuse of information, and how to deal with breach and loss as well. The confidentiality of information is vital to keep your students anonymity on line. Confidentiality means that only people with the right permissions can access and use the information. To ensure the confidentiality of the information, the location that it is stored will be secured by password protection. The principle of least privilege will be used as well in determining who has access to the information as well. Physically there will be endpoint encryption as well. All data that is stored in the servers will be encrypted as well. The integrity of the information is vital to ensure that any tampering of the information can be readily detected if it should occur. The integrity of the information is defined...

...Assignment 1: Review of Business Fraud Tara Johnson Professor: Jim Ridilla, CPA ACC 564— Accounting Information Systems May 1, 2012 Assignment 1: Review of Business Fraud Compose a summary of the case. Include how the fraud was perpetrated, the characteristics of the perpetrator(s) who committed the fraud, the role the auditors had in the case, and the direct and indirect effects the incident had on the organization’s stakeholders (customers, vendors, employees, executive committee, and board of directors). In 2011 Bank of America suffered a data breach from within the company that cost Bank of America approximately $10 million. A former Bank of America employee provided confidential information to a criminal fraud ring. That data was then used to steal funds from 300 customers in California and other states in the western United States. The names, addresses, Social Security numbers, phone numbers, bank account numbers, driver’s license numbers, birth dates, email addresses, mother’s maiden names, PINs and account balances were among the information that was released. That information was ultimately used to open new accounts, order checks, and make other bank transactions without the customer’s knowledge. This incident decreased the amount of trust the customers had in the company. The fraudsters were engaging in this activity for nearly a year and it should have been detected sooner. This fraudulent activity directly and indirectly affected it stakeholders...

...Assignment: Required First Week Assignment After reviewing the modules and Introduction for Management Systems two of the modules stand out and have piqued my interest. Those modules are module 3 EBusiness : Electronic Business Value and module 6 Data: Business Intelligence. Module 3 interests me because it deals with the advantages of web technologies in business and how buyer seller relationships are handled. This relates to my current job role as manager of website operations for an online college. The majority of our marketing budget is geared towards web marketing and learning more about how this integrates in to our business model and gaining potential students. I have equal interest in module 6 due to the information regarding business intelligence, as a manager I rely heavily on data and analytics that help me make decisions regarding our web business. Having access to data and how to better use my data is what I hope to gain from this module. One of my least favorite modules is module 1 Management Information Systems: Business Driven MIS, my low level of interest in this module is due to the fact that I’ve been in business and information technology for many years and I feel I have mastered this section due to my experience. Another module that I have a low level of interest in is module 2 Decisions and Processes: Value Driven Business due to this module dealing with tools that managers use to make decisions. Again with my years of experience and the various...

Kight Assignment 4: iPad’s Security Breach This document will attempt to discuss hacking into a Web site. Is it ever justifiable? The document will create a corporate ethics statement for a computer security firm that would allow or even encourage activities like hacking. The document will discuss whether it is important for organizations like Gawker Media to be socially responsible. It will determine factors CEOs should consider when responding to a security breach. Finally, it will create an email script to be sent to AT&T customers informing them of the security breach and a plan to resolve the issue and state the rationale. Apply your theory to a real-world case in which someone hacked into a system, including the name of the company and details. As I attempt to discuss this assignment, I could not avoid thinking about the age-old opinion that Apple products were unique, and that they were protected against criminal encroachments. As such, Apple became one of the hottest technological innovations in the industry. Today, like most other such technology, Apple is becoming increasingly vulnerable to intrusion. It is becoming a medium for posing threats to an entire corporate network as well as devices for official and unofficial use. My answer to this question is twofold. In other words qualification of any kind for such conduct must be based...

...Assignment 4: Internet Technology, Marketing, and Security Bus 508 – Contemporary Business Abstract Modern business depends on complex electronic information systems that require computer and internet capability to keep that information flowing. There is a problem when someone outside of that business relationship between the business and the consumer interferes, or hacks, that information flow. An entire industry has been created to protect that information flow from being “hacked”. In 2011, Sony went through what is known as the largest security breach in history. The breach affected 77 million PlayStation Network users, 24.5 million users of Sony Online Entertainment and many more customers across the nation. All this was caused, according to Sony, by an “outdated database from 2007” (Lina, 2011). Assignment 4: Internet Technology, Marketing, and Security In 2011, there were more than 300 corporate security breaches. Sony, Citigroup, and Morgan Stanley Smith Barney are among the major firms that have reported to their customers that they have been hacked (Mintzer, 2011). Hacking is continuously happening to companies all over the world. Sony Corporation is a leading manufacturer of audio, video, game, communications, key device and information technology products for the consumer and professional markets. With its music, pictures, computer entertainment and on-line businesses, Sony is uniquely positioned to be the leading...

...IS3350 Unit 8 Assignment 1 To: Verizon Date: 2 February, 2014 Subject: Data Breach Executive Summary Overview Verizon’s 2013 Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) provides truly global insights into the nature of data breaches that can help organizations of all sizes to better understand the threat and take the necessary steps to protect themselves. The breadth and depth of data represented in this year’s DBIR is unprecedented. It combines the efforts of 19 global organizations: law enforcement agencies, national incident-reporting entities, research institutions, and a number of private security firms — all working to study and combat data breaches. Analysis With 47,000+ Security incidents analyzed, 621 confirmed data breaches studied, and 19 international contributors, Verizon has ample amounts of data to compile and use to better their network. This data can also be analyzed to see what types of people are making these breaches and what motives they may have for doing so. In the 2013 DBIR, 69% of breaches were spotted by an external party and 76% of the network intrusions were due too weak or stolen passwords. Some of the other factors that have been realized was that 75% of the attacks are opportunistic and 19% of attacks are some form of espionage. There is also much evidence that many of these breaches could be tied to organized crime and gathering financial information. On a very basic level, just looking at the history of organized crime, money has always...

...Enabling strategies enact academic integrity policy. Without long-term, sustainable and practical support resources, a policy will not be enacted, no matter how well it is articulated. The cases in this resource cover a range of academic integrity issues in Australian universities with application for a wider audience. These case studies have been developed by the Academic Integrity Standards Project. “…I suspect that every senior manager needs to have some training in the issue of academic integrity principles. I learnt mine on the job, so I think that needs to be worked through so that the policy and the implementation and the people who have that power understand those principles …So I think the case study models really useful. How would you deal with someone who had this story; you know, what would you do, and then work out what you'd do pragmatically versus where the policy fits from there.” (Senior Manager, University B, Academic Integrity Standards Project) Although they may be based on real life stories, they have been adapted and anonymised for the purposes of this project resource; pseudonyms are used in every instance. The case studies are designed to be used as triggers for discussion in group seminars and primarily target teaching staff, although they could be used for discussion with students or other academic integrity stakeholders. Support for this project/activity has been provided by the Australian Government Office for Learning and Teaching...

...Question 1: Discuss vicarious liability and cyber-liability Vicarious liability is the principle of law that holds one party liable for the acts or inactions of another (Beyer, 2006). The concept means that a party maybe held responsible for injury or damage even when he or she was not actively involved in the incident. Under the specific type of fault required or complicity rule, vicarious liability will only be found if the employer authorized or ratified the conduct or the manner in which the particular task was performed or empowered the employee for example by making him or her a manager or recklessly hired or retained an employee that was unfit for the particular job. The existence of vicarious liability can be justified on both legal or policy grounds and organizational management grounds. There are reasons for the application of vicarious liability in legal or policy. First reason is the wrongful act of the employee are so closely related to their duties that they can be properly and fairly regarded as being within the course of employment. Second there is the business risk rationale, that it is an inevitable part of commercial life that agents and employees may act beyond their authority and instructions causing damage to a third party. Employers have calculated and accepted this risk thus incurring legal liability. Given that an employer generally benefits from the work undertaken by its employees it is not unreasonable that it also bear any losses that those activities...
