...Assignment Week Eight 1 ASSIGNMENT WEEK EIGHT Assignment Week Eight Gary Best American Military University Assignment Week Eight 2 ASSIGNMENT WEEK 8 Chapter 14 First off the large American multinational corporation would need to rely on a teams of lawyers and interpreters to get to know the laws of the European Union against cybercrimes. Security firm FireEye released the results from a study they conducted and found that one third of the businesses in the UK, France, and Germany are at a loss with the new cyber security legislation.(1) If one third of the businesses that are in the European Union do not understand the upcoming laws your research team is going to be very busy. The establishment of the data protection regulation has created to things to point out that may make trying to follow it a little easier. First it wil1 be designated as a regulation. A regulation is applicable in all European Union states.(2) Secondly, there is now harmonization, only one regulatory authority that manages its state of things in all of the European Union states.(2) Before this change each European Union state had its own directive that you would have to worry about compliance. One thing to consider is if you plan on using a cloud based software for your data. It will need to be secured and protected against hacking. You will need secure the data before it is sent to the cloud using a process called cloud data encryption and tokenization.(3) Tokenization is taking the sensitive...

...Sherief Beshara ENG 302-DeFazio Metacognitive Assignment Role of Cyber Security in Preventing Future Attacks 1. Copy/paste the following items from your major scholarly project into your Metacognitive Assignment document: * One of the main concerns is whether or not we are prepared for a cyber war. We have to equip ourselves with the education and understanding of what goes into preventing a cyber-attack and what we need to be on the offensive side. Our safety depends on it. Cyber security plays a daily role in our protection and we don’t even realize it. * Another opposing view shows that cyber security sometimes is not enough, and that the need for it is not just limited to our government, but also corporate America is in deep need for cyber security to protect its databases from malicious software and hackers that are always ready to invade and attack their firewalls. Bruce Schneider, a security expert with the Berkman Center at Harvard, mentions how important encryption is and mentions that it “protects our data from criminals. It protects it from competitors, neighbors, and family members. It protects it from malicious attackers, and it protects it from accidents” (Bailey). That is why encryption needs to be automatic to any type of data that needs to be protected or that is a target to any hacker out there. He is saying that encryption just generally puts a protective cover over all the data that needs to be protected and just protects it from everybody, even...

...FLORIDA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Proactive vs. Reactive Network Security Making Your Network Unassailable A SHORT PAPER ASSIGNMENT THREE SUBMITTED TO: IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR CYB 5275: ENTERPRISE INFORMATION SECURITY BY CRAIG CANNON MELBOURNE, FLORIDA FEBRUARY 1ST 2013 Information Systems security has never been more critical around the world than it is today. Demand for new improved services has become intense causing enterprises to reinvent their infrastructures by erasing traditional network boundaries. The cyber security threat lurking outside those boundaries is causing security analyst to rethink their views on network security. As the BYOD (bring your own devices) and cloud computing trend becomes more commonplace, security by exclusion by attempting to maintain hard perimeters is no longer a viable option. As the number of network devices continues to increase, the number of vulnerabilities also increases as well. As more and more organizations continue to be overwhelmed by cyber attacks it will become evident that the current strategy of responding to attacks no longer works. To be affective analyst will have to change their strategy from a reactive to a proactive state.

...Written Assignment 3 “Documented Writing” Using the articles you have read for this module, search engines, and the EBSCO databases, write a 500-word essay on what you believe to be the greater threat to the nation—cyber crime directed against individuals or terrorist cyber attacks on national institutions. Provide your opinion on whether the United States is active enough in countering these threats. Cyber-Savvy Bombardments In the case of cyber attacks, where the results can vary from the annoying to the disastrous and destructive, there are no winners. I believe that both cyber crimes directed against individuals or terrorist cyber attacks on national institutions pose equal but different threats to our nation. Let’s take the recent news about a certain congressman who is claiming that his Twitter account was “hacked” resulting in a lewd photo being sent to a college student in Seattle (FoxNews.com 2011). Democrat Rep. Anthony D. Weiner who is a member of the Energy and Commerce committee from New Yorks 9th District (house.gov) uses the social media website Twitter to “tweet” with his followers. The media has jumped on board turning this into a national and even international spectacle, which makes this event annoying and possibly destructive to his career. If Congressman Weiner’s Twitter account was hacked “two broad possibilities exist: (1) the Congressman's Twitter account (and perhaps other accounts) were hacked, or (2) the Congressman or someone with authorized...

The plan is for the "cyber reservists" to work alongside regular forces in the new Joint Cyber Reserve Unit in a bid to protect key computer networks and safeguard data. According to Prime Minister David Cameron, the new capability would be able to "counter-attack in cyber-space and, if necessary, to strike in cyber-space as part of our full-spectrum military capability". "In response to the growing cyber threat, we are developing a full-spectrum military cyber capability, including a strike capability, to enhance the UK's range of military capabilities," the Conservative...

...criminal motive to intentionally harm the reputation of the victim or cause physical or mental harm to the victim directly or indirectly, using modern telecommunication networks such as internet chat rooms, emails, notice boards, groups, and mobile phone. Such crimes may threaten a nation’s security and financial health. Problems surrounding these types of crimes have become high profile, particularly those surrounding cracking, copyright infringement, child pornography, and child grooming. There are also problems of privacy when confidential information is lost or intercepted, lawfully or otherwise. Internationally, both governmental and non-state actors engage in cybercrimes, including espionage, financial theft, and other cross-border crimes. Activity crossing international borders and involving the interests of at least one nation state is sometimes referred to as cyber warfare. The international legal system is attempting to hold actors accountable for their actions through the International Criminal Court. History Public interest in cyber terrorism began in the late 1980s. As 2000 approached, the fear and uncertainty about the millennium bug heightened an interest in potential cyber terrorist attacks also increased. Although the millennium bug was by no means a terrorist attack or plot against the...

...FLORIDA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY CYBER SECURITY WITHOUT CYBER WAR U.S. Military vs. International Law Perspective A SHORT PAPER ASSIGNMENT TWO SUBMITTED TO: IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR CYB 5275: ENTERPRISE INFORMATION SECURITY BY CRAIG CANNON MELBOURNE, FLORIDA JANUARY 25TH 2013 In her article “Cyber Security without Cyber War”, Mary Ellen O’Connell does a brilliant job in giving the reader an overall view of the debate concerning which government should have primary responsibility of the internet when it comes to the legal authority of cyberspace. She begins the article by citing two major players in this debate: the U.S. Military with its rules and legislation vs. NATO and its international law. According to O’Connell, the USA feels that the military should have primary responsibility over the internet since it has the largest number of technical experts and legal authorities with respect to cyberspace than anyone else in the world. Many in the international community would disagree with allowing the US military to police the internet. They raise the question: What legal rules would be used to guide the military in its supervision of the internet. They believe that using international law is the best way to govern cyberspace usage. (Johnson, 1996) Still others favor the US military’s Cold War strategy of deterrence as a way of patrolling the internet. These that favor...

...Week 9 Assignment 3: Cybersecurity The National Initiative for Cyber Security Education Initiative. Released in 2009, the Cyberspace Policy Review: Assuring a Trusted and Resilient Information and Communications Infrastructure acknowledged the need for cybersecurity public awareness and an advanced cybersecurity workforce. To address these needs, the Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative (CNCI) developed 11 initiatives to help secure the United States in cyberspace. The National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) was established to lead the work on the goals outlined in Initiative 8, which addresses the Nation’s cybersecurity needs related to public awareness, education, professional development, and talent management. (McDuffie, 2009) In the past 20 years, the innovative use of cyberspace has transformed the day-to-day operations of the Nation. These advances have enhanced the lives of individuals, business, and government in profound ways. From eCommerce, to mobile communications and complex networked systems, the rapidly growing dependence on cyberspace is evident. In the years to come, the Nation’s dependence on cyberspace will only increase as technology advances and will further integrate into our daily lives. Great advances in technology comes with great risks. The Cyberspace Policy Review identified vulnerabilities in cybersecurity as systemic risks introduced into infrastructure, defense, and personal property due to the widespread adoption...
