CSCI 415 Ethics, Law and Cybersecurity

Chapter 3 Quiz

NAME: _______________________________DATE: _________________

Chapter 3 – Quiz 3

Instructions:  There are two (2) topic areas listed below that are designed to measure your knowledge level specific to learning outcome (LO 3) shown in your course syllabus.  Please provide appropriate responses in essay form for both.  In most cases the topic area has several components. Each must be addressed to properly satisfy requirements.

State-wide and in most professional industries, there has been a mandate that college students be more proficient in their writing. While this is not a writing class, all writing assignments will be graded for grammar, syntax and typographical correctness to help address this mandate.

Pay attention to what you are being asked to do (see Grading Rubric below). For example, to describe does not mean to list, but to tell about or illustrate in more than two or three sentences, providing appropriate arguments for your responses using theories discussed in our text.  Be sure to address all parts of the topic question as most have multiple parts. A verifiable current event (less than 4 years old) relevant to at least one of the topics you respond to is a fundamental component of your quiz as well.  You cannot use information from the text book or any book/article by the author of the text book as a current event.  Make sure that your reference has a date of publication.  For each chapter quiz and final quiz you are required to find and include at least one reference and reference citation to a current event less than 4 years old (a reference with no date (n.d.) is not acceptable) in answer to at least one question.  This requires a reference citation in the text of your answer and a reference at the end of the question to which the reference applies.  You must include some information obtained from the reference in your answer.  The references must be found on the internet and you must include a URL in your reference so that the reference can be verified. 

You should type your responses directly under the appropriate question. Be sure to include your name on your quiz. Only the first two (2) questions with answers will be graded.   Include your name in the document filename. Your completed quiz must be uploaded into the appropriate eCollege Dropbox, no later than 11:59pm on the due date.  Do well.

1. Based on what you have learned in this chapter and using appropriate components, properly construct an argument to: (1) support or refute the view that all undergraduate students should be required to take a course in cyberethics; and (2) apply the seven steps (in Section 3.8) to your argument.  Please elaborate (beyond a yes or no answer) and provide your rationale in support of your responses (comprehension)
2. Using appropriate components construct an argument for or against the view that privacy protection should be improved in e-commerce transactions.  Next evaluate your arguments against the rules for valid, inductive, and fallacious arguments.  Does your argument contain any of the common or “informal” fallacies discussed in Section 3.9?  If so, elaborate. Please elaborate (beyond a yes or no answer) and provide your rationale in support of your responses (knowledge)

In July of 2017, Equifax suffered a security breach. It is estimated that over 143 million Americans had their birthdate, social security number, addresses and driver’s license numbers stolen. In addition, over 206,000 credit card numbers with PII attached were accessed and ~182,000 people involved in credit card disputes.  In the latter cases, customers in the UK and Canada were also affected.

It is said that a patch was not applied to the Apache Struts and that vulnerability allowed the hackers to break in.  In addition, the breach occurred between May and July of 2017, but was not reported to the public until September after Equifax had hired Mandiant to do an internal investigation of what had happened.

Also three Equifax executives sold off almost US $1.8 Million of their personal shares a month prior to the public disclosures. 

Equifax set up a website for people to use https://www.equifaxsecurity2017.com which later was classified as insecure and built almost like a phishing website. 

Using what we have learned in this class, write a 2 to 3 page paper that addresses:

• What policies and procedures appear to have been lacking at Equifax?• Do any of the policies and procedures address what the executives are accused of doing?• Why did they wait so long to inform the public?  Legally what are they required to do?• How could this have been avoided?

State your premise and supporting arguments, etc. clearly.  

Note that I will take off up to 10% of the grade for poor grammar and misspellings. So be sure to run grammar and spell check

Discussion 1

“Cisco Switches”  Please respond to the following:

• You connect two new Cisco switches together and expect them to use DTP and create a trunk. However, when you check statistics, you find that they are access ports and didn’t negotiate. Based on your learning this week, why do you think DTP didn’t work on these Cisco switches? As network administrator, how would you have addressed this scenario? What recommendations would you make to management?

Discussion 2

“Security Monitoring”  Please respond to the following:

• Considering your place of employment or your home computing environment, discuss in detail the way in which in-depth (or layered) defense is employed to enhance security in your chosen environment.
• According to the textbook, Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), which can be categorized as Host IDS (HIDS) and Network IDS (NIDS), is a means of providing real-time monitoring. Compare and contrast HIDS and NIDS, and provide at least one (1) example identifying when one (1) would be more appropriate to use over the other. Provide a rationale to support your chosen example.

Paper Details

Preparation

To prepare for this final assessment, please complete the practice labs as they may be helpful.

Look in the Capella library and on the Internet for articles and information on the topics of availability and load balancing. You will need at least three recent, professional resources to support your work on this assessment.

Note: Microsoft Visio is provided for your use via MS Imagine. See the Microsoft Software section in the Assessment 1 Resources for more information.

Review the feedback you received on the previous four assessments and revise your work accordingly.

Instructions

For your final assessment, you will use your work from the previous four assessments, along with this final piece to produce a cohesive plan for enterprise network optimization. Organize your work logically, as if you would actually present it to senior IT leadership in the organization you selected.

Use the following structure to organize and complete your assessment:

•Title page.

•Executive summary (approximately one page that provides a high-level overview of what is in the document).

•Body of the document: ◦Your network diagram, updated to include the following: ◦Apply basic load-balancing techniques as an effort to ensure network availability.

◦Analyze the technology presented in your diagram (you may use the information you provided in previous assessments, but do not simply cut and paste). ◦Explain your decisions for hardware placement, hardware devices, topology, and overall infrastructure design.

◦Support your analysis with recent, relevant resources.

◦Explain the techniques and strategies for maintaining high availability on the network.

◦Explain your load balancing strategy.

◦Explain how your network design addresses globalization. How can you be sure it will succeed internationally?

•References page. ◦Include at least six recent, relevant professional references.

◦Format references according to APA guidelines.

Your final assessment should be approximately 6–8 double-spaced pages, not including the title page and references page. Be sure it is professionally written, free of errors, and uses Times New Roman, 12-point font.

P2. Create a data dictionary similar to the metadata table shown in Table 1-1 in Chapter 1 to document your choices. For each table in the relational schema you developed earlier, provide the following information for each field/data element: field name, definition/description, data type, format, allowable values, whether the field is required or optional, whether the field is indexed and the type of index, whether the field is a primary key, whether the field is a foreign key, and the table that is referenced by the foreign key field.
