Two essays each for two sections (should be two pages, one page for each essay)
Key differences between data, information, information technology (IT), and information systems (IS)
In this unit, you have learned about management information systems (MIS) and the importance of it. For this assignment, compose a paper that discusses the key differences between data, information, information technology (IT), and information systems (IS). Your paper should address the components listed below.
Define what is meant by information.
Define what is meant by data.
Create two matrices (one for data and one for information) that illustrate the key differences between information and data, place the matrices into your paper, and briefly discuss the differences in one or two paragraphs. Each matrix should contain characteristics and/or facts about the subjects (data and information) that show how they are different.
Using the five-component model as an example, discuss some differences between IT and IS.
If you are using Microsoft Word, you can develop a matrix using this program. For an example of how to create a matrix using Microsoft Word, see the Microsoft.com explanation by clicking the link below.
You may use another computer software program that you are familiar with to create the matrices. However, you must submit your assignment in a Microsoft Word document, and the matrices should be included in the body of your paper.
Your paper must be a minimum of two pages in length (not counting the title and reference pages), and you must use at least two resources as references. Any information from these resources must be cited and referenced in APA format.
In 500 words or more, compare DNS failover and cloud failover.
Use at least three sources. Use the Research Databases available from the Danforth Library not Google. Include at least 3 quotes from your sources enclosed in quotation marks and cited in-line by reference to your reference list
As the manager of the information technology (IT) security department, you were asked by your boss to present a summary of what the organization should do to prevent this from happening again.
Recently, a terminated employee used his mobile device to log in to the company network and steal sensitive data. As the manager of the information technology (IT) security department, you were asked by your boss to present a summary of what the organization should do to prevent this from happening again. Create a PowerPoint presentation of your summary. In your PowerPoint presentation, you should include the components listed below.
Identify the three sources of threats, provide a summary of each, and provide at least one example of each.
Explain technical safeguards, and discuss which technical safeguard(s) should be used for mobile devices.
Explain data safeguards, and discuss which data safeguard(s) should be used in this type of scenario.
Explain human safeguards, and discuss which human safeguard(s) should be implemented.
Discuss why the organization needs an incident response plan to secure information and knowledge.
Your presentation must be a minimum of eight slides in length, not counting the title and reference slides. Be sure that any graphics used are appropriate and support the content of your presentation.
Choose Topic: Computer Science
Select number of pages: 4
Question Description: Prepare a 4 – 6 page paper in Microsoft Word on one of the topics below. I encourage you to leverage outside sources/references, which can help bolster and strengthen your arguments and discussion.
If you discuss outside sources, be sure to cite them accordingly within your document and on your references page.
The 4 – 6 pages does not include the title page, abstract page, or references page (if outside sources are used).
Paper should be written in APA format (title page, double-spacing, abstract, page header, 1″ margins, references page, etc.)
Save the file using the following file naming convention:
The 4 – 6 page requirement means at least 4 FULL pages minimum, not 3 pages, not 3.5 pages, etc.
Adding numerous images/clipart, applying narrow margins or multiple blank lines will not count toward the required page count.
Case Study #1
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is interested in using technologies to identify suspected of money laundering operations within the United States. The system would perform data mining in order to determine purchases and travel patterns that could ultimately identify individuals who are engaged in, or at least planning to launder money. DHS asks a panel of information security professionals to determine the feasibility of this project. Several participants believe a major challenge would be to determine the patterns of transactions and other indicators. As a participant, you suggest that it might be possible to construct a computer program that uses artificial intelligence to mimic money laundering activity. The program would determine the transactions needed to execute money laundering activities. Once these transactions were determined, it would be possible to search related databases and other information resources to locate further evidence. A large population of individuals would need to be monitored/searched, potentially violating their privacy rights.
As an information security professional assigned to this project, what would ethical and moral issues might arise from developing a computer program capable of violating numerous individuals’ privacy in order to identify criminal activities of a few?
How does this play into what we learned in the course, regarding issues related to violating an individual’s privacy?
Is the greater good of society served by using this approach? What course of action would you take if placed into this situation?
