Discuss the critical elements of Computer Software Security in a 1 to 2 page APA format paper. References must not be more than 5 years old and no more than one entity source and no more than one N.D source.

Object-oriented programming has been adopted widely because of its capability to reuse code. Most application development software provides class libraries and extensive support for complex data structures, including linked lists. Investigate one of these libraries, such as the Microsoft Foundation Classes or the Java 2 Platform application programming interface (API). What data structures are supported by the library? What types of data are recommended for use with each data structure object? Which classes contain which data structures, and what methods does the library provide?

Windows 10 allows users to customize their desktop preferences.

For the purpose of this discussion, consider a scenario where you manage more than 100 Windows 10 devices and are asked to provide input on allowing users to customize items such as the Start Menu.

• What settings should you allow users to change, and what settings should be controlled by the system administrator?
• What are the advantages and disadvantages?
• How does the industry of the organization play a role in your answer?

Legal Abstracts – Instructions

A sample legal abstract is posted in Blackboard. Use the sample as your template.

Make sure that your case or controversy is current — within the last 6 months — because older cases or controversies are often misleading or not relevant because of subsequent legal developments. Cases can be overturned; statutes or regulations can be amended or repealed. 

The abstract is a summary of the author’s article in the words of the student. Abstracts submitted containing the original article’s text in full or part will not receive full credit. Your abstract should reflect a summary in your own words of the material in the article you are discussing.

Abstract topics should address current legal issues, controversies, cases or developments affecting cybersecurity law as we examine it in this course. For further guidance on topics, consider the subjects covered in each of the class modules. Articles may be chosen from technical journals or websites, legal journals or websites, or general news or information sites. 

To restate, the timeliness of your selected case, controversy or issue is crucial, because an article about a case that has subsequently been overturned or a law that has been amended or repealed not only does not keep you properly informed on current legal issues, it may actually provide incorrect information that can negatively impact your decision making when analyzing potential legal issues. 

Each abstract must contain the following headings:

Article title

Author

Publication

Publication date

URL

Facts of the dispute

The background of the case or controversy.

Plaintiff’s claim

In a criminal case, the Plaintiff is the State or the appropriate governmental entity. What legal wrong does the plaintiff claim that the defendant committed?

Defendant’s claim

How has the defendant answered? In the early stages of litigation, the defendant may not have answered the complaint. 

Applicable law (i.e. statute, regulation, treaty)

Usually, the applicable law is mentioned in the article. If not, try to determine which law or laws apply. 

Issue of law

This is the legal question that is the foundation of the case. Courts rule on an issue of law by interpreting the law as applied to the facts of the case. 

Holding (if an adjudicatory body has rendered a decision)

This is the ruling that a court issues after it applies the law to the facts of the case. If a case is still ongoing, the court may not have issued a holding. 

Impact on IT

Finally, include your evaluation of the possible impact on cybersecurity in the enterprise of the particular legal issues in the article under the following heading. Here is where you get to apply your knowledge and skills as an IT professional. If you can find additional commentary on the case or controversy discussed, include it here.
