Throughout this course we are going to critically assess the institutional forces that shape and create the demand for information technology. When responding to discussion boards, try to incorporate, when possible, your view as a student and your view as an employer. For example, how does social media impact you on a personal level and how would it impact your employer? They are both two very different answers.

Q1) Select one of the topics listed below and find a recent article that relates to this topic and post a summary of that article and express your views as well.

Listed Topics:

• What is disruptive technology? Cite one example of a technology that has emerged in the last decade and what impact it has had. Who/what was affected?
• What are some concerns that a typical cell phone user should have regarding privacy and how can they mitigate those concerns?
• In your opinion, how was Facebook able to dethrone MySpace as the most popular social media site? What did Facebook offer that MySpace did not?
• What technological improvement/invention has had the most impact on modern day business? Why?

Not more than 350 words total. Respond to at least two other students (150 words each peer)!!

2. Two (2) paragraphs (350 Words total) discussion response to main DQ questions. In addition, respond with two (2) students/Peers to Peer (identify peers) or two classmates. The responses should 150 words each and must focus on the discussion topic above. Examine related issues, ask questions, provide hypothesis and/or situation(s). A peer response may not be to a peer already responded to more than twice.

Note: plagiarism is not tolerated in this course. Everything must be in your own words with sources! Failure to do so will result in failing grade. 

You will be graded by the quality of your response. Also, please do not copy someone else’s post but try to make it yours.
You may look at the posts of others for ideas, but do not copy and paste it and make it yours.
You can do one post that answers both parts. So think carefully about your post.

Project: Methodology Development Analysis Assignment Instructions

Overview

This part of the project develops the methodology and begins analysis of the information security solution. The problem statement, project scope, risk analysis, and literature review performed in the Project: Problem Identification Assignment must justify the selection of the elements that require analysis for the final fault-tolerant security solution. For example, if the final solution requires a network security solution, an analysis may begin by evaluating the network architecture diagram in Project: Problem Identification Assignment.

Instructions

Segments of the network must be assessed, such as all local node connections in the LAN (e.g. local processes, local devices, local data storage), as well as other connections to the LAN (e.g. network gateways, WANs, wireless APs, network control resources, network databases, cloud integrations). The environment and architecture must justify the analysis of the coinciding threats. A few of the many network threats you could analyze (but are certainly not limited to) are DDS, session hijacking, parameter modification, server-side includes, addressing errors, message integrity, protocol flaws, reconnaissance, impersonation, wiretapping, malicious active code, connection flooding, man-in-the-middle, spoofing, misdelivery, redirection, and/or other transmission failures. The analysis in the latter example must identify any targets such as confidentiality, integrity, or availability and the coinciding vulnerability such as impersonation, protocol flaw, or misdelivery.

This is just an example given for a network security project and in no way limits the outcomes. The review of literature and detailed analysis of the system or application will determine the primary deliverables. Each requires objective justification for credit.

It is critical to identify the proper targets and vulnerabilities to ensure the final fault tolerant security design includes the appropriate correlated controls. For example, if the target is confidentiality, and the vulnerability is misdelivery, an appropriate control solution to design could be encryption. If the target is availability, and the target is a DNS attack, an appropriate control solution to design could be an intrusion detection system (IDS), access control list, and honeypot.

Current and proper APA formatting is required and must include a title page, proper margins, citations, organization, proper grammar and spelling, and an ending resources page.

At the minimum, this phase of the project must include:

I. Executive summary, introduction, and conclusion

II. Methodology (must be supported by relevant and current research from scholarly, peer-reviewed journals)

a. Approach(es) for the information security analyses and design

i. Organizational security structure

ii. System, computing, network, or application architecture

iii. Security models that will be utilized

b. How the data will be gathered to objectively analyze the solution

i. System evaluation method

c. Limitations of the analysis

i. Security threats and risks inside the scope that need to be addressed

ii. Security threats and risks outside the scope

III. Synthesis review of literature to support analysis decisions

a. Analysis of the proper solution

i. Targets of the attack

ii. Vulnerabilities

iii. Controls

b. Create the appropriate correlated diagrams

c. Detail the results of the analysis

d. NOTE: Required minimum length (8 peer-reviewed sources and at least 7 double-spaced current APA formatted pages) in the grading rubric excludes all systems analysis and design (SAD) diagrams and any other tables and/or graphical elements

IV. Diagram examples in this phase could include but are not limited to:

a. Advanced system and/or network architecture diagrams

b. Use case, activity, class, system sequence, and/or state machine diagrams

c. Fault tree

d. Access control matrix

e. Authentication, traffic, and/or data map

f. Dataflow diagrams (DFD)

g. CPU/Memory/OS buffer, segmenting, address, and/or data bus mappings

h. NOTE: A minimum of 5 diagrams exist that accurately analyze a secure system, network, and/or application solution. Within EACH of the 5 diagrams, a minimum of 10 elements exist that accurately detail analysis of the environment that needs securing (Note, if 10 elements are not necessary in a diagram add diagrams as needed to sufficiently meet this requirement). Each diagram is thoroughly developed based upon existing architecture and/or applications. Each diagram meets the associated technical requirements, programming language, notations, formatting, and modeling rules of the language (e.g. UML), industry standards for the diagram, and/or literature review. Analysis and design diagrams must have an associated industry standard that is widely accepted to be recognized (e.g. UML).

Each diagram must be justified by the literature review. In other words, if the plan secures an object-oriented language such as Java, the Java Virtual Machine must be properly analyzed from the class loader to the applet security manager. Analysis and associated diagrams must parallel the proper notations, formatting, and modeling rules and standards outlined in the prior IT infrastructure and systems analysis and design. These must align with peer-reviewed journal research as well as industry best practices.

Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.

8 peer-reviewed sources exist (can have overlap from Phase 1 if appropriate) and a minimum of 7 double-spaced, current APA-formatted pages, excluding the SAD diagrams, graphics, tables, or any other non-textual components.
