• I took a picture of the labs that we have for this week.

• Compare and contrast the vulnerability scanning tools you used in the labs. Are there scenarios in which a scanning tool would be advantageous to use over others?
• When assessing the security risks of a network, a step that is important but sometimes overlooked is the gathering of organizational data. How can knowledge of organizational data give you leverage over network vulnerabilities? Name two types of organizational data and explain how a hacker might be able to exploit them.
• Cite sources to support your assignment. 

  Format your citations according to APA guidelines. 

Discussion:

 This week we discuss the overall process of developing new software.  Please also note the differences between software development and methods.

Note how the corporate CIO should engage with each of the regional leaders.  Why is this important? 

For each of the following examples, determine whether this is an embedded system, explaining why or why not. 

Question 1 

Are programs that understand physics and/or hardware embedded? For example, one that uses finite-element methods to predict fluid flow over airplane wings? 

Question 2

Is the internal microprocessor controlling a disk drive an example of an embedded system?

 Question 3

Is an I/O drivers control hardware, so does the presence of an I/O driver imply that the computer executing the driver is embedded? 

Question 4

Is a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) an embedded system?  

Question 5

Is the microprocessor controlling a cell phone an embedded system?  

Question 6

Is the computer controlling a pacemaker in a person’s chest an embedded computer?  

Question 7

List and briefly define the possible states that define an instruction execution.  

Question 8

List and briefly define two approaches to dealing with multiple interrupts.  

Question 9

Consider two microprocessors having 8- and 16-bit-wide external data buses, respectively. The two processors are identical otherwise and their bus cycles take just as long.  (a) Suppose all instructions and operands are two bytes long. By what factor do the maximum data transfer rates differ?  (b) Repeat assuming that half of the operands and instructions are one byte long.  

Assigned Readings:

*Below is the instructions, and I have attached an SAMPLE EXAMPLE document 

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.
