...Welcome to WritePoint, the automated review system that recognizes errors most commonly made by university students in academic essays. The system embeds comments into your paper and suggests possible changes in grammar and style. Please evaluate each comment carefully to ensure that the suggested change is appropriate for your paper, but remember that your instructor's preferences for style and format prevail. You will also need to review your own citations and references since WritePoint capability in this area is limited. NOTE: WritePoint comments are computer-generated writing and grammar suggestions inviting the consideration and analysis of the writer; they are not infallible statements of right/wrong, and they should not be used as grading elements. Also, at present, WritePoint cannot detect quotations or block-quotes, so comments in those areas should be ignored. For additional assistance, please visit our WritePoint Lab to speak with a tutor.

...Case Study 2: Social Engineering Attacks and Counterintelligence Marilyn Washington Dr. Gideon U. Nwatu CIS 502 November 3, 2013 Abstract The topic of this paper is “Social Engineering Attacks and Counterintelligence.” Social engineering attacks and counterintelligence have major impacts to our national security. In July 2010, the Afghan War Diary was released in WikiLeaks. In October 2010, WikiLeaks also released the largest military leak in history – the Iraq War Logs revealing the war occupation in Iraq. This type of information is considered as classified data by the Department of Defense. Social Engineering Attacks and Counterintelligence Describe what social engineering and counterintelligence are and their potential implications to our national security in regard to the leaked Afghan War Diary and Iraq War Logs. WikiLeaks is an open website that reveals classified documents to the general public. Voice of America stated that “WikiLeaks releases 400,000 classified US Military files (Pessin, 2010). WikiLeaks is a serious threat to national security. WikiLeaks is a threat for three reasons: reveals the identities of operatives, defaces the name of the USA to foreign countries, and threatens the safety of the USA. A danger of WikiLeaks is it reveals the identities of operatives both foreign and domestic. WikiLeaks allows the names of many allies and operative missions to be posted on a public website. This type of exposure endangers many oversea...

...ASEAN IN TODAY’S WORLD 2013 The Economic Structure and Employment of the Philippines This paper is written to accomplish the requirement of ASEAN Economics Studies of ASEAN Today’s World 2013 in Ateneo de Manila University, Philippines Lecturer: Prof. Victor S. Venida, Ph.D. Written by: Nur Isnaini Masyithoh Faculty of Economics and Business Universitas Gadjah Mada 2013 I. Background Sectorial Structures of World Economies According to World Bank, one way to determine the structure of economy is by analyzing its three main sectors; agriculture, industry, and services in the country’s total output and employment. Initially, the agriculture is the main sector of developing countries. The shift comes to industrialization and post-industrialization. Industrialization assumed to increase and replace the agriculture because modernization refers to specialization of economic function, monetization of transaction, and homogenization of goods and services (Venida, 2000). The homogenization is formed by the improvement and innovation in technology enhancing the agricultural products. As the requirement of productivity and quality in agriculture increases, the innovation and function of technology has become the obstacle of the growing industry. Source: World Bank (http://www.worldbank.org/depweb/beyond/beyondco/beg_09.pdf) As the income rises, goods become immaterial. People no longer rely on materials since needs are already satisfied. Instead, they will concern about services including...

...Security Monitoring Security Monitoring Hector Landeros University of Phoenix Security Monitoring In today’s business environment an organization may consist of various applications all in which require a certain level of risk assessment and security measures must be taken. Applications being used within the organization must be reviewed to determine security risks that application might have and how to protect the company from those vulnerabilities. Another factor that must be considered is a risk may vary between internal and external applications. There are many activities which can be incorporated into an organizations security plan which will help minimize possibility of a security breach. Policies Security monitoring is a method typically used to test or confirm security practices being used are effective. Most of the time monitoring of activities such as the review of user account logs, application logs, data backup and recovery logs or in many applications being used automated intrusion detection system logs. When using security monitoring one is trying to ensure that information security controls are in place are effective and not being bypassed at any point. One of the benefits of security monitoring is the early identification of wrongdoing or security vulnerability. Rudolfsky (1983-2010), “It will be difficult for a company to achieve information security objectives without security event...

...Security Controls are necessary in protecting data and stopping attacks both before they happen and after they happen. With Controls in place we can help prevent them and detect after a security breach as occurred. For ABC credit union the following security controls would be enforced: Preventative Control: Separation of duties. Having separation of duties will ensure that not one person will have full access to a database. It can be monitored and overlooked by multiple people so if there is a breach of error of any kind it can be caught be one of those people. This also helps in security of stealing or changing information with other employees having access to something it’s less likely an employee will change or transfer funds illegally without it being caught by another employee. ABC credit union will enforce this with money transfers of over 2500 dollars. The wire transfer will have to be checked and verified by 1 other management personnel before the transfer can occur. Detective control: ABC credit union will implement a detective control of Monthly Reviews of wire transfers and transactions. This will ensure there are no discrepancies within accounts or funds being transferred. Each wire transfer will be reviewed at months end to be sure all paperwork and protocols were followed. This can help detect any errors of either human or computer based. Corrective Control: Corrective controls can help aide in the understanding and information after an error or attack...

...ring sensitive information, whether it is personal or business related, is vital to the integrity, if not survival of the entity that it belongs to. Personal information can be items like a social security number or a birth date, while sensitive business information can be either patented designs or even customer contact databases. Keeping information like this secure requires methodologies such as the usage of the three tenants of information or otherwise known as the C.I.A. triad (Kim & Solomon, 2011). The three most important parts that makes up this triad are: “Confidentiality”, “Integrity”, and “Availability”. The expanded version of the C.I.A. triad actually contains seven critical characteristics that further emphasize the important role of keeping sensitive information secure. The following paragraphs will explain the nature and detail of each of these seven characteristics. The first characteristic of ensuring information security is confidentiality. This characteristic defines who or what has authorized access to an entity’s sensitive information. The overall goal of this characteristic is to keep access to this information restricted to only those that need to know. A good example of confidentiality is where a car company’s authorized car design team has access to confidential design schematics on a secure computer server for a particular new car but the car company’s competitor does not. Integrity is the next characteristic whereas its goal is in...

...Realism Theory focused Chinese – United States Foreign Policy There is no disputing that the United States (US) has been known around the world as the superior, single most dominating state for decades (Drew & Snow, 2006). There should be no surprise we are now seeing the rest of the world questioning how to deal with taming the American power (Walt, 2005). China along with other nations are facing this daunting question of how to balance the power, even the playing field by striving to become a great power (Forsyth, 2008). This essay will address the realism theory focusing on the three of the instruments of power (IOP) as it applies to the Chinese foreign policy towards the US. To begin with, this essay will touch on Chinas fluctuating military stance. China continues to display the traditional realist view of balancing power plus states gain their power through war and military intimidation (Forsyth, 2010). Chinas strategic culture and historical record shows they are willing to use force to maintain security and power against the US. They are positioning their assets and “threatening potential US conflict over Taiwan” (Gompert & Phillip, 2011, 42). They’ve increased their military budget, showed capabilities by shooting down a satellite, and “acquired military capabilities-including anti-ship cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, and electronic countermeasure technologies—that could hinder US forces if they tried to operate in China’s neighborhood” (Walt...

...NSA Surveillance Source Summaries Summary number one Authors Katyal and Caplan (2008) wrote an article for the Stanford Law Review that strengthens the idea that National Security Agency surveillance programs operating independently of external authorization or even knowledge of the Executive branch has a surprising level of legality based upon the precedence set by former president Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The divulgence of information obtained without authorization from either the sender or receiver was expressly prohibited via the telecommunications act of 1934. The FDR administration interpreted that wiretapping was legal as long as the information was not divulged. Subsequently, many legal battles began and congress as well as the Supreme Court began inhibiting surveillance by the government in favor of constitutional protections and rights. This led to emergence of secretive surveillance by the FDR administration. The Foreign intelligence and surveillance act of 1978 sought to legaly reintroduce surveillance but in most cases required judiciary authorization. There are some exceptions written into the act that allows surveillance but for limited periods of time and/or requiring congress to formally declare an act of war. Previous precedence of the FDR administration and loopholes within the FISA act was basis for the Bush administration to carry on the legacy of unauthorized and unknown surveillance. Likewise, during this administration...

...Cyber: The Terrorist New-Battlefield Sparkle Grayson American Military University “American military superiority on the conventional battlefield pushes its adversaries toward unconventional alternatives.” - Carter, Ashton B., John Deutch, and Philip Zelikow Terrorism is not a new phenomenon. The use of terror tactics as a means of coercion, dates back to the 1st and 14th centuries AD. The first documented instance of terrorism that most resembled modern day terrorist tactics is attributed to the Zealots of Judea. This “terrorist” group showed many if not all the characteristics of modern day terrorists; being politically/religiously motivated, the organization of their group, and ultimately their goal, which was to strike fear into not only the current leaders or governing authority but into anyone who they felt agreed with the current state of politics. In short, though, their endeavor was ultimately unsuccessful, “the fact that they are remembered hundreds of years later, demonstrates the deep psychological impact they caused” (terrorism-research, 2013, n.p). Though terrorism is often associated with physical acts of violence, the ever increasing globalization of the world, and the increasing dependency on technology has given way to a new tactic that can be destructive to property, finances, and media. Cyber-terrorism is a new occurrence but is highly effective, and until recently the United States had no formal “cyber-protection” in the private sector...
