You will review both quantitative and qualitative research.  The topic is up to you as long as you choose a peer-reviewed, academic research piece.  I suggest choosing a topic that is at least in the same family as your expected dissertation topic so that you can start viewing what is out there.  There are no hard word counts or page requirements as long as you cover the basic guidelines.  You must submit original work, however,  and a paper that returns as a large percentage of copy/paste to other sources will not be accepted.  (Safe Assign will be used to track/monitor your submission for plagiarism. Submissions with a Safe Assign match of more than 25% will not be accepted.) 

Please use APA formatting and include the following information:

• Introduction/Background:  Provide context for the research article.  What led the author(s) to write the piece? What key concepts were explored? Were there weaknesses in prior research that led the author to the current hypothesis or research question?
• Methodology:  Describe how the data was gathered and analyzed.  What research questions or hypotheses were the researcher trying to explore? What statistical analysis was used?
• Study Findings and Results:  What were the major findings from the study? Were there any limitations?
• Conclusions:  Evaluate the article in terms of significance, research methods, readability and the implications of the results.  Does the piece lead into further study? Are there different methods you would have chosen based on what you read? What are the strengths and weaknesses of the article in terms of statistical analysis and application? (This is where a large part of the rubric is covered.)

Learn About creating good password security.

An IT Security consultant has made three primary recommendations regarding passwords:

1. Prohibit guessable passwords
   • such as common names, real words, numbers only
   • require special characters and a mix of caps, lower case and numbers in passwords
2. Reauthenticate before changing passwords
   • user must enter old pw before creating new one
3. Make authenticators unforgeable 
   • do not allow email or user ID as password

Using WORD, write a brief paper of 300 words explaining each of these security recommendations.  Do you agree or disagree with these recommendations. Would you change, add or delete any of these?  Add additional criteria as you see necessary.

Murder Case

Preamble

An organization system administrator was labeled as the key suspect in a homicide case. The accused claimed that he was at work at the time of the murder. 

Police Intervention

The police asked his employer to help them verify his alibi. Unpredictably, the same organization, occasionally trained law enforcement personnel to investigate computer crimes and was eager to help in the investigation. 

Collaborative Strength: 

The organization worked with police to assemble an investigative team, seized the suspect computers in his office and residence, and backup tapes on a file server managed by his employer. All of these evidence were stored in a room to where only members of the team had access. 

Harsh Situation

At the initial stages, the operation appeared reasonably well documented, but the reconstruction process was a disaster. The investigators made so many omissions and mistakes that one computer expert when reading the investigator’s logs, suggested that the fundamental mistake was that the investigators locked all of the smart people out of the room. The investigators, in this case, were unaware of the situation and unwilling to admit the slip-up.

As a result of the investigators’ omissions and mistakes, the suspect’s alibi could not work together. Digital evidence to support the suspect’s alibi was identify later but not by the investigators. If the investigators had sought expert assistance to deal with a large amount of digital evidence, they might have quickly confirmed the suspect’s alibi rather than putting him through years of investigation and leaving the murderer to go free.

Lesson Learned

• The case amplifies forensic investigators’ requirements to obtain fundamental knowledge of computers, compatible operating systems, and application software programs.
• Forewarning forensic investigators to seek the assistance of the system administrator during the criminal investigation. 

Scenario 

• You have been retained as a Deputy Technology officer at the University and charged with the responsibility of developing an Acceptable User Policy for the department of computer science based on this murder case.
• Question 1
• Use the AUP to amplify the advantages and disadvantages of investigators’ quarterly training on most currently used operating systems such as Microsoft Windows, Macintosh, UNIX, Linux, Sun System, and more. 

Scenario 2

• The investigators, in this case, were unaware of the situation and unwilling to admit the slip-up. As a result of such omissions and mistakes, the suspect’s alibi could not work together. Digital evidence to support the suspect’s alibi was identify later but not by the investigators. If the investigators had sought expert assistance to deal with a large amount of digital evidence, they might have quickly confirmed the suspect’s alibi rather than putting him through years of investigation and leaving the murderer to go free.
• Question 2 “Investigators allowed the Murderer to go free.”

2:1. Defend the impasse of the investigator’s unwillingness to admit the slip-up?

2:2 Use the Acceptable User Policy to amplify why the murderer was allowed to go free and penalties for violations.

Hello,

i need this paper by 10/28 afternoon.

Strictly No plagiarism please use your own words.

Social engineering is the art of manipulating people so they give up confidential information. The types of information these criminals are seeking can vary, but when individuals are targeted the criminals are usually trying to trick you into giving them your passwords or bank information, or access your computer to secretly install malicious software – that will give them access to your passwords and bank information as well as giving them control over your computer.

Explain a scenario where you or someone you know may have unknowingly given too much personal information to a stranger. How could this situation  been avoided? 300-350 words.

An important skill is the ability to critically evaluate information. As our world is increasingly filled with data, more and more the information from that data is conveyed through visualizations. Visualization is useful for both discovery of connections and trends and also communication.

Why make visualizations?
