 Case Study 3.1 Keflavik Paper CompanyKeflavik Paper is an organization that has lately been facing serious problems with the results of its projects.  Specifically, the company’s project development record has been spotty: While some projects have been delivered on time, others have been late. Budgets are routinely overrun, and product performance has been inconsistent, with the results of some projects yielding good returns and others losing money.  They have hired a consultant to investigate some of the principal causes that are underlying these problems, and he believes that the primary problem is not how project are run but how they are selected in the first place.  Specifically, there is little attention paid to the need to consider strategic fit and portfolio management in selecting new projects.  This case is intended to get students thinking of alternative screening measures that could potentially be used when deciding whether or not to invest in a new project.

Questions

1. Keflavik Paper presents a good example of the dangers of excessive reliance on one screening technique (in this case, discounted cash flow). How might
2. Assume that you are responsible for maintaining Keflavik’s project portfolio. Name some key criteria that should be used in evaluating all new projects before they are added to the current portfolio.
3. What does this case demonstrate about the effect of poor project screening methods on a firm’s ability to manage its projects effectively?

 Question:

Information Governance and Legal Functions: According to the authors, Smallwood, Kahn, and Murphy, IG is perhaps one of the functional areas that impact legal functions most. Failure to meet them could be literally put an organization out of business or land executives in prison.  Privacy, security, records management, information technology (IT), and business management functions are very important. However, the most significant aspect of all of these functions relates to legality and regulatory compliance from a critical perspective. 

For this discussion, identify the industry you will be writing about in your final paper and discuss the regulatory compliance requirements that the company has to meet and the corresponding security, privacy, and records management functions that would need to be enabled for that organization.

               My hope heading into this course was that I would become  more proficient and better understand coding using different data  structures. I would say that I certainly accomplished that though I am  still far from proficient. The feedback from the professor was at times  helpful at improving my code. I only began programming when I started to  pursue this degree, so I have been at it for hardly any time at all. To  achieve what would be considered satisfactory coding for this course in  the Case Assignments and Session Long Projects, I think someone needs  to have a background in programming. If your code achieves the goal but  is not well polished, you won’t achieve good marks. I learned a lot in  this session, and I am coming away from this class more educated about  the topic. The class achieved its purpose and I understand why it is  part of the degree path. 

Users who see security as an obstacle or a nuisance are less likely to abide by security policies. Referred to as “resistance behavior,” a Virginia Tech study found that even if people understand that a security breach can have severe consequences on an organization, that knowledge does not always make users accept and conform to security policy rules. Individuals may feel their competence challenged, which triggers a negative attitude toward security in general. Users may also view some security controls, such as scheduled password changes, as unnecessary interruptions. Security controls, such as a fingerprint scanner, that don’t work consistently may make users feel overwhelmed and lead to mistrust of security controls or even overriding them.

Answer the following question(s):

1. If you were a professional in charge of security for an organization, what would you say to a user who believes they have the right to decide whether to participate in security measures?
2. In the same scenario, what kind of incentive do you think would encourage the user to participate?

We learn from our readings that the use of mobile devices in our society today has indeed become ubiquitous.  In addition, CTIA asserted that over 326 million mobile devices were in use within The United States as of December 2012 – an estimated growth of more than 100 percent penetration rate with users carrying more than one device with notable continues growth.  From this research, it’s evident that mobile computing has vastly accelerated in popularity over the last decade due to several factors noted by the authors in our chapter reading. In consideration with this revelation, identify and name these factors, and provide a brief discussion about them.

Read the Closing Case at the end of Chapter 4 just before the End Notes in the Management of Information Security Book. Answer the two initial Discussion Questions. 

 Discussion Questions 

 1. If the Enterprise Policy Review Committee is not open to the approach that Mike and  Iris want to use for structuring lnfoSec policies into three tiers, how should Mike and  Iris proceed?  

2. Should the CISO (Iris) be assessing HR policies? Why or why not? 

Second under Ethical Decision Making, answer the following:

• Has Mike broken any laws in representing Iris’ policy work as his own?
• Has Mike committed an ethical lapse in doing so, or is he just being inconsiderate
