Responses should be a minimum of 250 words and include direct questions. You may challenge, support or supplement another student’s answer using the terms, concepts and theories from the required readings. Also, do not be afraid to respectfully disagree where you feel appropriate; as this should be part of your analysis process at this academic level.

Respond to Michael:

The dilemma of resolving tension between information technology and privacy is definitely complicated. John Shenefield (2010) wrote about the dilemma, exclaiming that there is a potential for great evil when powerful technological capabilities are available to fall into the wrong hands (p. 466). He expanded on this thought by writing “to ward off such a calamity, he recommends that the government make itself smart enough to take sensible steps to defend the public” (Shenefield, 2010, p. 466).

Due to civil liberty advocates opposition to cybersecurity intrusion detection systems, there has been a long difficult path to coming up with a system that can be agreed upon. According to Shenefield, the opposition pushed back resolution with developing federal intrusion detection systems for ten years (2010, p. 472-473). This shows that the nation really can prevent the government from having access to data. He suggested that a system should be created that upholds electronically enforced accountability, where the government is not restrained from access to data, but misuse can be detected and punishable (Shenefield, 2010, p. 474). If such technology was created, effective at detecting misuse, and efficiently monitored to catch unjust privacy infringements, I would say this could be of great value in the dilemma of balancing adequate information technology use and protecting privacy. The only question left after creating said software would be what defines a privacy infringement violation? Ultimately, I believe the technology mentioned by Shenefield offers great potential in satisfying both sides of the debate.

As for whether or not making technological choices at the intersection of privacy and civil liberties protection with national security requires trade-offs, Alexander Joel believes the answer is no. He wrote “the IC need not stand paralyzed by the choice between its core mission to provide security and its solemn obligation to protect privacy and civil liberties” (Joel, 2010, p. 1765). Further, he believes a lawful technological capability should be tailored to providing adequate security while protecting privacy and civil liberties (Joel, 2010, p. 1765). I agree with this point, and I feel like technologies such as the ones suggested by Shenefield could provide such a capability. If a program was created to police the use of cybersecurity capabilities and ensure privacy was not overly infringed upon, balance between security and freedom could potentially be met.

Finally, in regards to whether it’s justified to have civil liberties and personal rights interfered with for the sake of national security, Nadine Strossen provides a quote from Justice Brandeis: “Experience should teach us to be most on guard to protect liberty when the government’s purposes are beneficient…. The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding” (2000, p. 21). Strossen’s conclusion upon the dilemma matches my opinion. Swaying the protection of civil liberties and privacy can become a slippery slope, and a line needs to be drawn to protect such rights. As said throughout my post, programming should be developed to protect these rights. Where technological capabilities can be developed to detect security threats, similar capabilities can equally be developed to run alongside cyber-security programs to safeguard against unlawful civil liberty and privacy infringement.

Course Project Part 2—Architecture Detail

Continuing with the course project you started in Week 1, this week, you will continue working on the solution you have envisioned so far. The work that will be added this week will increment the information you have produced so far, complementing it in a coherent manner.

Tasks
This week, you will design the architecture for the project.
Using the Microsoft Word document created in W1 Assignment 3, add to it by completing the following tasks:

• Discuss in detail, using diagrams to support your words, how the architecture is to be used in the system.
• Address operational, performance, security, cultural, and political requirements for the project.
• Present three possible interface and navigation design concepts.

Submission Details:

• Support your responses with appropriate research and examples.
• Cite any sources in APA format.
• Name your document SU_ITS4090_W2_PP2_LastName_FirstInitial.doc

Hi ,

I need answer for the below requirement.

Project Question: Individually, students will prepare a 15-20 slide PowerPoint presentation on the evolution of retailing. There should a minimum of 4 academic research articles. All papers need to adhere to APA methodology.

Note1: Please provide me at least 5 references.

Note: Subject name is Marketing Management.

Create 5 separate tweets (articles, videos, infographics, etc.) regarding additional pros and cons of social media in K-College education or your professional setting. Each tweet must include a one sentence hook / phrase with the link to the recommended resource using the hashtag #edtechknow.

You have just been hired as a network administrator for a company that provides background credit checks for car dealers. They are going to be implementing a new system architecture that you will be tasked with managing. They are asking for your input on the design.

The requirements are as follows:

1. Users in the company use laptops to access the internal systems. When they are in the office, they use a wireless network and when teleworking from home they use a VPN over the Internet.
2. Their work, particularly the algorithms they use in the applications, as well as the individual data, is very sensitive and so they want the data to be stored and processed in an on-premise data center with very strict security.
3. Because of the volume of usage and the need for redundancy (they guarantee response to their customers within 1 hour of the request), they are requiring at least 2 physical servers which will be mirrors of each other.
4. Their main application is fairly complex and very computational. It uses a fat client which must be installed on the user’s laptop. The application is based on retrieving data from a large database that will reside on their machines. If the individual being assessed is not in the database, or the data on them is old, the system will go out to an outside credit bureau to retrieve data and this will be added to the database.
5. When the analysis is complete, the system sends a report to the customer, once it has been approved by the user’s supervisor.

You will develop an architecture diagram which details

1. The physical computer hardware that you need (e.g., types of servers)
2. The networking hardware that you will need (e.g. wireless access point)
3. The security hardware/software that you will need (e.g., firewalls)
4. Any outside connections (e.g. to the customer)

In addition to the network diagram, also include any notes which show the assumptions that you have made. Options for your diagram:

You can draw in Word or PowerPoint

You can use a tool such as MS Visio

You can draw the diagram by hand and scan it in
