...Plagiarism Rob Jenkins, an associate professor of English at Georgia Perimeter College analyzes the effects and the consequences of plagiarism in his article titled: ” Toward a Rational Response to Plagiarism”. Rob Jenkins takes into consideration what kind of problems would it cause to students that take someone elses essay and returns it as his own. He is also trying to figure out what is the best way for teachers to react to their students about the matter. He says it should briefly told to the students what is the teachers stand on plagiarism and what are the penalties to students that get caught. Mr. Jenkins emphasises that the matter should not be overemphasised either. I think it is really hard for a teacher to try to prevent students from plagiating someone elses text in their essays. There are a few reasons for that fact. One is that it is pretty hard to determine what is “plagiating”. If you just take someone`s idea and say it in your own words, is it cheating? Or does it have to be an accurate citation about what someone else has said or written. Reason number two. I think nowadays most students in Finland do not feel that they are making a big crime for cheating on an English assignment. And the penalties would not be that bad. What is the worst thing that could happen? You would have to write your essay again? That does not sound very intimitating. Higher education is not that valued anymore either. And the teachers are not that feared or respected as...

...A Look Into the World of Anorexia Nicole R. King Georgia Perimeter College Author Note Nicole R. King, Criminal Justice Major, Georgia Perimeter College Abstract Eating disorders have become an increasing public health problem once thought to be an affliction amongst young women, now an epidemic across culture and gender boundaries. Anorexia gives rise to serious socio-economic and bio-psychological circumstances of our ever vast, growing society. Awareness of eating disorders have increased but perhaps only in proportion to its advancement of its research and treatment. That which still leaves us in a position for a much greater demand for education and heightened awareness of this perplexing disease. Keywords: anorexia, experiment, independent variable, dependent variable, psychological, manipulator, research. A Look Into the World of Anorexia Both articles, Cookie Monster (2005, December). Newsweek. Fighting Anorexia-New Research Into Its Origins-and Its Youngest Victims, ("Fighting Anorexia- New Research Into Its Origins-and Its Youngest Victims", 2005, p. 1-3), briefly summarize the findings of various psychological research studies. In no way do these articles adequately provide details about experimental procedures or long-term research. To further understand and evaluate research, both articles would have needed to provide specific details such as; the manipulator, the independent variable, and the variable. More specifically, the article Cookie Monster, only...

...Introduct ion To Security Management TOPIC:- The concept of SECURITY MANAGEMENT from a Military Perspective LECTURER:- Mr. Keen Charles DUE DATE:- 21-May-2015 STUDENT:- Jermaine George DEFINITION OF SECURITY MANAGEMENT Security management is the identification of an organization's assets (including information assets), followed by the development, documentation, and implementation of policies and procedures for protecting these assets. An organization uses such security management procedures as information classification, risk assessment, and risk analysis to identify threats, categories assets, and rate system vulnerabilities so that they can implement effective controls. Therefore security management from a military perspective means the protection of military assets. CONCEPT OF MANAGEMENT Management is an important element in every organization. It is the element that coordinates currents organizational activities and plans for the future. The management adapts the organization to its environment and shapes the organization to make it more suitable to the organization. DEFINITION OF PHYSICAL SECURITY Physical security is the protection of personnel, hardware, programs, networks, and data from physical circumstances and events that could cause serious losses or damage to an enterprise, agency, or institution. This includes protection from fire, natural disasters, burglary, theft, vandalism, and terrorism. There are three main components to physical security. First, obstacles...

...To determine the likelihood of a security problem or vulnerability to the facility and infrastructure of an organization. This process will be used to determine risk after normal management safeguards have been applied. The type of security checklist I will create, will be the tabular format. The focus will be on the infrastructure and the perimeter. The survey will show areas of weakness, deficiencies and vulnerabilities. Such as continuous surveillance, lighting and internal controls. Using the tabular format will allow for the collection of large amounts of security information. This format can be converted into different kinds of report and will be easier to relate policy to standards. Such as security standards and expectations by category. The format will include the following. Audit information page(s) with space for the name of the facility being audited, date and names of audit. A table of contents that lists the security categories. Points to be reviewed. Columns for indicating compliance/ non-compliance. Space for additional categories as may be needed. Such as Emergency Plans and perimeter security (http://nicic.gov?downloads/files). Knowing the security vulnerabilities the organization will enable you to develop a security program that’s best for the organization. The first step to eliminating the problem areas is to perform a risk assessment of the vulnerabilities. I will perform my assessment by focusing on the perimeter, internal and external threats,...

...Week 5 Individual Final Assignment Galo Figueroa NTC / 362 October 26th, 2017 Eric Winch Week 5 Individual Final Assignment I will begin by explaining the network’s current characteristics and components. KFF is comprised of three geographic locations in San Diego County, California. Their home office is located in La Jolla. The two other locations are in Del Mar and Encinitas. They have an OC 1 SONET using a T3 dedicated line connecting all three stores. This requires a fiber optic physical connection between stores since a T3 is equivalent to 28 T1 lines. This dedicated network is leased from the ISP and is guaranteed a continuous uninterrupted connection. This type of connection allows for a total of about 44736 Kbps and has 672 channels. KFF is using a 25Mbps connection to the internet. All three KFF locations are using a linear bus topology using 100base T Ethernet, which means that Ethernet is used and allows for data transfer rates of up to 100Mbps. The file server, workstations and all equipment previously mentioned are connected to a linear cable. This type of LAN network has disadvantages that outweigh the advantages. One major disadvantage is that the entire network is disabled if there is a break in the main cable, and locating the break can prove to be difficult. Another disadvantage is that the more devices are added, the less efficient it becomes. This outdated design broadcasts data which uses up important bandwidth that can be used for better purposes...

Sandia is a multiprogram laboratory operated by Sandia Corporation, a Lockheed Martin Company, for the United States Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration under contract DE-AC04-94AL85000. ABSTRACT Sandia National Laboratories, as part of its mission to ensure national security, has engaged in vulnerability assessments for IT systems with the main focus on control and automation systems used in United States critical infrastructures. Over the last few years, diverse customers from the electric power, petroleum, natural gas, and water infrastructure have partnered with us to gain insight into their critical vulnerabilities and learn mitigation strategies. This report describes the generalized trends in vulnerabilities observed from the assessments, as well as typical reasons for these security issues and an introduction to an effective mitigation strategy. Overall, most security vulnerabilities in infrastructure include failures to adequately define security sensitivity for automation system data,...

...application usage patterns and risky behaviors for the top SaaS applications used by businesses. The key findings in this report reaffirm the need for a new approach to data governance, risk management, and security in the context of cloud adoption. Perimeter and endpoint security solutions provide minimal protection against new, emerging, and largely unknown risks. Therefore, enterprises need to proactively invest in new controls like Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions and Cloud Access Security Brokers. Key findings include: • In the cloud zombies are real: 11% of all enterprise SaaS accounts are “zombies,” inactive assigned users that are at best eating up the cost of a license, and at worst increase the attack surface of the organization. • More admins, more problems: Every administrative account represents a real and present risk to the enterprise. In some SaaS applications Adallom recorded an average of 7 administrators out of every 100 users. • 80% of companies have at least one former employee whose SaaS application credentials have not been disabled: Deprovisioning continues to plague organizations, credential creep makes the problem unwieldy. • 19% of users bypass Identity and Access Management controls: Rebalancing the enterprise security portfolio from exclusively preventative controls to blended risk management based...

...Federal Information Security Management Act) is United States legislation that defines a comprehensive framework to protect government information, operations, and assets against natural or man-made threats. It is a matter of national security, and as a result, it is the focus of continuous scrutiny at the highest levels of government. Federal departments and agencies, as well as organizations that work with federal information systems, need to adopt and refine the information security management processes that ensure up-to-date and comprehensive risk assessments, measurable response management and detailed compliance reporting all in a cost-effective and timely manner. Technologies are available to enable organizations to address regulatory compliance issues. For instance, vulnerability management systems can help government agencies and departments automate many of the steps in the FISMA compliance process. Complete lifecycle vulnerability management systems can conduct accurate and thorough assessments of potential risks and vulnerabilities to information systems on a continuous basis and manage the process of eliminating those risks. Data captured from these risk assessments can then easily be created into compliance reports. By helping organizations to identify vulnerabilities and take necessary steps to resolve issues, vulnerability management helps to reduce the number of targets an attacker can exploit in a network. Unlike perimeter defense security solutions that focus...

...Threats and Risks Assessment The determination of natural, man-made, and technological risks is the responsibility of security management and security personnel. Threats and risks are vital to determine to lessen the damages caused to assets within the organization. Retail organizations have many assets that are needed to be protected from threats and risks in order to maintain quality customer service. The threats and risks can either be caused from the inside threats or outside threats. The most common risks that are present in retail organizations are fires, internal and external thefts, and burglaries. Threats and vulnerabilities are managed and determined by security officials on a daily basis to ensure proper protocols are being upheld when risks present themselves. Retail Threat and Risk Assessment The determination of threats and risks that affect all organizations, not just specific organizations, must first be made by using a threat and vulnerability assessment and risk analysis. “The first step in a risk management program is a threat assessment. A threat assessment considers the full spectrum of threats for any given facility/location. The assessment should examine supporting information to evaluate the likelihood of occurrence for each threat” (National Institute of Building Sciences, 2012). The threats and vulnerabilities within the organization are discovered and then a risk analysis is used to determine which risks are most likely to be present within...
