As you consider the reputation service and the needs of customers or individual consumers, as well as, perhaps, large organizations that are security conscious like our fictitious enterprise, Digital Diskus, what will be the expectations and requirements of the customers? Will consumers’ needs be different from those of enterprises? Who owns the data that is being served from the reputation service? In addition, what kinds of protections might a customer expect from other customers when accessing reputations?

1.) Discuss  500 words or more discuss why Security as a Service is a good investment.

Use at least four sources.  Use the  Research Databases available from the Danforth Library  as your first choice. Include at least 3 quotes from your sources enclosed in quotation marks and cited in-line by reference to your reference list.  Example: “words you copied” (citation) These quotes should be one full sentence not altered or paraphrased. Cite your sources using APA format. Use the quotes in your paragraphs.  Stand alone quotes will not count toward the 3 required quotes.

Write in essay format not in bulleted, numbered or other list format. 

2.) In 200-300 words Explain how cookies can show that a user has visited a site if that user’s history has been deleted. Use your own words.

Write a procedure document for CSI that documents how to change a password in a platform of your choosing.

The document should be detailed enough, and yet understandable enough, for a reasonable, non-technical, non-IT person to follow the directions and successfully change the operating system password without the need to call for support in all but the most extreme cases.  (In the real world, there will always be the the ‘outlying’ cases that defy logic and defy documentation.)

Text should be as understandable as possible and as non-technical as practical.  Remember in a previous lecture that the standard reading level for a wide audience tends to be 8th or 9th grade.  Include a glossary where needed.

Visual aids should be included.  Screen captures or photographs are very helpful to the technically challenged.

For this assignment an Adobe PDF or Microsoft Word or Microsoft PowerPoint (or equivalent application) document will be acceptable.

Tips

This is usually an easy assignment because changing the password in most operating systems is very simple. You just need to describe the steps in getting there.

Most students tend to get caught up in the editing process.  Getting a prototype document put together, including screen captures, is usually pretty fast.  Editing can be a time black hole so be mindful of that.

Ask a non-technical person to read one of your drafts.  If they understand it, and can follow it, you have succeeded.

Describe Access Controls that you have utilized in your career or personal life.  APA formatting is expected for any references.  Initial posts due by Thursday end of day and two peer responses due by the end of the unit.  

Be sure to use PROPER APA format as I have just completed above. Failure to cite an article in PROPER APA format will result in a grade that is not desired.

This is a juxtaposition discussion question. Choose a side. If you choose the green side, find resources support your response (remember to explore YouTube).  You must also argue against the RED side. If you choose the red side, find sources to help support your position…but you also argue against the GREEN side.  This is a complicated topic this week, so be sure to be thorough in your exploration of all the many facets.
