...chapter 2 1. Why is information security a management problem? What can management do that Technology cannot? Management is an information problem due to the fact that policymaking and training of securing systems from users fall into the responsibility of their role. These responsibilities can include limiting access as well as disabling certain functions that are not related to the organizations’ function. Management can set policies that may arise due to improper uses or manipulations of systems and asses the threats that are unknown due to the introduction of new hardware and software. 2. Why is data the most important asset an organization possesses? What other assets in the organization require protection? The integrity of the data is most important because it relates to the overall company operations. Securing the data from people not authorized to see or change it ensures that the correct information about the company is being generated without interference or manipulations of data. Other important assets that requires protection are the computer terminals, networking infrastructure, which need to be protected from misuse from internal and external threats whether intentional or not. 3. Which management groups are responsible for implementing information security to protect the organization’s ability to function?

...1. Both general management and IT management are responsible for implementing information security that protects the organization's ability to function. Management is responsible for implementing information security to protect the ability of the organization to function. They must set policy and operate the organization in a manner that complies with the laws that govern the use of technology. Technology alone cannot solve information security issues. Management must make policy choices and enforce those policies to protect the value of the organizations data. 2. Data is important to an organization because without it an organization will lose its record of transactions and/or its ability to furnish valuable deliverables to its customers. Other assets that require protection include the ability of the organization to function, the safe operation of applications, and technology assets. 3. Both general management and IT management are responsible for implementing information security. 4. The implementation of networking technology has created more risk for businesses that use information technology because business networks are now connected to the internet and other networks external to the organization. This has made it easier for people to gain unauthorized access to the organization’s networks. 5.

...Chapter 2 Review Questions Solutions 1. Describe and compare the six sources of software. The six sources of software identified in the textbook are: (1) information technology services firms, (2) packaged software providers, (3) vendors of enterprise solution software, (4) application service providers and managed service providers, (5) open-source software, and (6) in-house development. IT services firms help companies develop custom information systems for internal use; they develop, host, and run applications for customers; or they provide other services. An IT services firm may be chosen if the system can’t be developed internally or requires customer support. Packaged software providers are companies that produce software exclusively, like Microsoft or Intuit, and are preferable if the task needing the system is generic. Vendors of enterprise solution software create a system that is composed of a series of integrated modules. Each module supports a business function, such as accounting, or human resources. ERP systems may be appropriate if a complete system is required that can cross functional boundaries. A more intense option for larger, more customizable solutions are Managed service providers who can provide more services than application service providers. ASPs and MSPs may be appropriate when instant access to an application is desired, and in the case of ASPs, when the task is generic. Open-source software is a type of software that is developed by...

...to provide mortgage loans to, previously, undesirable borrowers. Now the demand for houses rose & so did the prices for the houses making these subprime loans attractive to lenders because of the high return. So the Banks & investment houses continued to invest in mortgage securities but the financial institutions did not maintain enough reserves in case the housing market crashed. Naturally, the housing market came crashing down leaving borrowers “upside down” in their loans & they were forced to foreclose. When this happened, the banks became unwilling to lend money so funds were not available for businesses. Without funds for everyday operations, businesses struggled causing layoffs & raising the unemployment rate. 2. What steps did the Federal government and the Federal Reserve take to mitigate the crisis? The Federal Reserve bailed out Bear Stearns & AIG. The U.S. Department of the Treasury seized Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac. Congress passes the economic bailout plan TARP which spent $700 billion investing in banks & bailing out the auto industry. Congress also passed an $825 billion economic stimulus package called the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act which included cutting taxes, building infrastructure, & investing in green energy. 3. Compare and contrast microeconomics and macroeconomics. How do the two approaches interrelate? Microeconomics is...

Information extortion is when an attacker steals information from a computer system and demands compensation for its return or for an agreement not to disclose it. One example could be someone that gains access to PII such as SSN’s through a company’s database and ransoms the information for money. If not paid, he could sell the information on the black market. This not only harms the company monetarily, but also questions their information security practices and ultimately their trust. 6. Employees can be one of the greatest threats to information security because their mistakes...

...Week 2 Problems/Exercises: Chapters 3 & 4 Michael LaBarge DeVry University Chapter 3 2. List and describe the common skills and activities of a project manager. Which skill do you think is most important? Why? Common skills of a project manager include: interpersonal skills, leadership skills and technical skills. Interpersonal skills include the skills needed to effectively communicate with others what needs to be done and the process that should be taken to get it done. Leadership skills are important because as the project manager is in charge of the project, they must be able to successfully lead their team from initiation to completion of the project as efficiently as possible. Technical skills are the skills needed to understand all aspects of the system that is to be created or modified and what it takes to make that happen. Common activities of a project manager include: leadership, management, customer relations, technical problem solving, conflict management, team management and risk and change management. I believe that the most important skill that a project manager must possess is leadership. I think that with the right team, the PM can get assistance on the interpersonal and technical aspects of the project. However without the proper leadership, even the best team will ultimately fail, or at least have many difficulties. Also, many of the activities that a project manager must do are leader/management based. 4. Describe the activities performed by...

...1. Information security is more of a management issue because it is up to management to decide what end users should have access to and what they should not. Also technology can only do what it is told to do but if management sets up training to teach end users about the threats of say opening an unknown email then the company is safer. 2. Without data an organization loses its record of transactions and/or its ability to deliver value to its customers. Page 42 Principles of Information Security 3. Both general and It management 4. It has created more and the reason why is it is much easier to spread viruses, worms, etc. now that the can get from system to system without having to attach to a physical disc. 5. Information extortion occurs when an attacker or trusted insider steals information from a computer system and demands compensation for its return or for an agreement not to disclose it. Page 60 Principles of Information Security. An example would be if someone would steal the latest album from a well-known artist before its release date and demanded to be paid or it would be released onto the internet. 6. Employees are one of the biggest threats for several reasons the can accidently allow someone access to the system by installing a back door or it is possible for them to become angry with the company and just hand out IP to rival companies. It is also possible that they could accidently delete valuable data from the system that has no backup. 7. Make sure nobody...
