...1. Did CardSystems Solutions break any federal or state laws? • Federal Trade Commission presented a decision order on CardSystems Solutions and its predecessors as a result of negligence and violation of FTC Act 15, U.S.C. 41-58. 2. CardSystems Solutions claim to have a hired an auditor to assess compliance with PCI DSS and other best practices for ensuring the C-I-A of privacy data for credit card transaction processing. Assuming the auditor did indeed perform a PCI DSS security compliance assessment, what is your assessment of the auditor’s findings? • If compliant they would have implemented proper IP s firewalls or maintained their anti-virus program definitions. Also they were required to encrypt all stored sensitive privacy data for research. 3. Can CardSystems sue the auditor for not performing his or her tasks and deliverables with accuracy? Do you recommend that CardSystems Solutions pursue this avenue? • No because they were PCI DSS compliant in 2004 but was not certifiably compliant at the time of attack in June of 2005. 4. Who do you think is negligent in this case study and why? • CardSystems. Given their high profile, they were expected to be in compliance for properly storing and protecting all privacy data including gathered transactions and credit card information of their cliental in an encrypted manner. 5. Do the actions of the CardSystems warrant an “unfair trade practice” designation as stated by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC)? • Yes,...

Instructors must remind students to retain all handouts and assignment documents issued in every unit, as well as student-prepared documentation and graded deliverables. Some or all these documents will be used repeatedly across different units. Unit 1. Lab 1. Preparing a Virtual Workstation Image Windows 7 Virtual Machine “Keyless” Installation and Re-arm Process Purpose: This section describes the reason for and the procedure to use the “keyless” installation for Windows 7 Professional applicable to our lab environment for IT109/NT1230, and to use the “Re-arm” procedure to extend the trial period to meet our curriculum needs. Background: In installing Windows 7 Professional into a virtual machine in the VMware Player for the labs in our lab environment, if the Product Key for Windows 7 Professional is applied and activated during or at the end of the installation, the installed virtual machine will be authorized to launch only from the physical computer from which it was installed, as Microsoft registers the product key to associate with the hardware identity of the physical computer in their antipiracy database during the activation process. Subsequently, if the virtual machine is launched from a different computer, Microsoft...
