Topic: Tech companies prepare for cyber-attacks using common
cybersecurity resources. Select one of the resources listed and
explain how you could implement that particular policy to
prevent an attack: 1. monitoring and assessment, 2. policies and
controls, 3. hiring, 4. software, 5. firewalls, 6. authentication
and access, 7. encryption

As the cyber-attacks are growing in number, it is the
responsibility of the organization to take the necessary steps to
counter-act the attacks. One of the best ways to protect the data
of an organization is to encrypt the data. The first thing that
companies ought to do is to identify the vulnerabilities present
in their network and systems. The staff should be well aware of
the attacks and their implications. The ways that a hacker tries
to get access should be known.
For those companies, which possess secure data, measures have
to be taken to protect its data through encryption. We should
keep our information safe by using full disk encryption tools
which are default to some operating systems. These tools take a
very less time to encrypt the data and they do not cause any
effect on the drives. The hackers tries to attack a system if there
is no log in and log off option or if the user forgot to log off the
system. So your system should be such that it logs off in 5
minutes if not in use.
So encryption is a compulsory thing to do because even if the
hackers get the data, they will not be in a position to alter it.

Encryption is the method in which information is converted into
secret code which hides the true meaning of the information and

the science of encrypting and decrypting the information is
called cryptography. When information is not encrypted then it
called as plaintext and when data is encrypted it is known
as cypertext, and to encrypt and decrypt the information
algorithms are used these algorithms are called ciphers or
encryption algorithms. When someone unauthorized tries to
intercept a encrypted message then the person should guess the
cipher sender used to encrypt the message and has to guess the
keys which are used as variables. The time which takes to guess
this information is what makes encryption a secured tool.
There are two types of Ciphers which are symmetric and
Asymmetric ciphers, Symmetric ciphers which is secret key
encryption uses a single key which is sometimes used as a
shared secret because the entities which do the encryption
should share the secret key information with all the entities that
decrypt the message. Symmetric key encryption is much faster
than the Asymmetric encryption, Asymmetric ciphers which is
also known as public encryption used two different but linked
keys. This often uses prime numbers which is difficult to factor
large prime numbers and reverse engineer encryption.

Students can earn up to 5 points for attending each class session
and fully participating in the class activities. Students must
arrive on time and stay for the duration of the session. All
absences, for any reason, will count against you. The professor
will not judge a legitimate absence from an illegitimate one.
Students cannot use their phones, tablets, or computers during
class unless they are taking notes. Students who don’t comply
with the rules will lose some or all of their participation points.

Learn Smart Exercises (190 points: 19 exercises):
McGraw-Hill Learn Smart adaptively assesses students' skill
levels to determine which topics students have mastered and
which require further practice. Then it delivers customized
learning content based on their strengths and weakness. The
result: students learn faster and more efficiently because they
get the help they need, right when they need it - instead of
getting stuck on lessons, or being continually frustrated with
stalled progress.
Interactive Exercises (314 points: 19 exercises):
Students are required to complete interactive exercises that are
within CONNECT. These exercises are of several varieties, such
as drag “n” drop, time line, and strategy formation. There are at
least three interactive exercises assigned each week.
Exams (3 exams totaling 300 points):
Exam 1Chapters 01-06100 points
Exam 2Chapters 07-12100 points
Exam 3Chapters 13-16 & 18-20100 points
Students are prohibited from using their cell phones during an
exam. Students that leave the classroom during the exam must
leave their cell phones in their backpack. There will not be any
make-up exams.
Research Paper (300 points):
Students are required to write a six-page paper on one of the
topics listed below. It must be double-spaced and APA
formatted.
It is STRONGLY suggested that students attempt to submit their
paper no later than the morning of the assignment due date
(February 7, 2020). The professor has noticed that students who
attempt to upload their paper between 9:30pm and 10:00pm that

day increasingly experience a “technological reason” that
causes them to miss the deadline. DON’T LET THIS HAPPEN
TO YOU!
The paper must meet college standards for grammar & content
and be typed in Microsoft Word using 12-point font. It should
include a discussion of the related concepts and its impact on
individuals, managers, and organizations. In addition, it should
mention the advantages and disadvantages of the concept/topic
and apply them to any experiences that you have had.
The paper must be an original work that was written by the
student. Students are prohibited from submitting a paper that
was written for any other course. This rule applies to
Introduction to Business, Introduction to Management, and the
Elements of Marketing. It also applies to students who are
repeating this class. They must select another topic.
In the planning and writing phase of the project, I recommend
that students utilize the services of the “Writing Center.” The
writing center is a place where students can get help with any
phase of the writing project. It will provide help with the
planning and organizing of the paper, creating and editing a
draft, using APA formatting, citing sources, and completing the
final draft. The center is located in PS 109. Contact them for
their WINTER 2020 hours of operation. The paper must not
contain plagiarized material. Anyone who plagiarizes material
will receive a zero for the assignment.
According to the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, to
“plagiarize” means:

1) To steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's
own.
2) To use (another's production) without crediting the source.
3) To commit literary theft.
4) To present as new and original an idea or product derived
from an existing source.
The Research Paper must be written in the following format:
Title Page (1 page)
Body of Text(6 pages)
References (1 page)
REFERENCES: Students must have at least four sourcesand
each source must be cited in the paper. One of the sources must
be from peer-reviewed journal articles; one source can be your
textbook (or any book);and the fourth source can be a non-peer
reviewed magazine article from a magazine such as Time,
Business Week, Forbes, etc. Students CANNOT use any
websites, including www.wikipedia.com.
Video Case Assignment (50 points: 1 @ 50 points):
Students are required to watch the video and answer the
questions posed. Analyze and address all of the relevant issues.
Students that click into the case assignment will see a grading
rubric that explains how the assignment will be evaluated. It
will be evaluated on APA formatting, reflection, grammar, and
spelling.
It is STRONGLY recommended that students attempt to upload
their assignment one day prior to its due date. Sometimes there
are technological glitches and this way you will have time to
figure out what went wrong. Don’t email the case to the

professor. And donot contact him right before the 10:00pm
deadline and claim that “something is wrong with Canvas I
can’t turn in my assignment”.
Extra Credit Case Assignments: (50 points: 2 @ 25 points
each):
Students are required to watch the video and answer the
questions posed. Analyze and address all of the relevant issues.
Students that click into the case assignment will see a grading
rubric that explains how the assignment will be evaluated. It
will be evaluated on APA formatting, reflection, grammar, and

Miscellaneous Important Stuff:
All assignments are due by Friday at 10:00 pm and no late work
will be accepted!
It is STRONGLY suggested that students attempt to submit their
paper no later than the morning of the assignment due date
(February 7, 2020). The professor has noticed that students who
attempt to upload their paper between 9:30pm and 10:00pm that
day increasingly experience a “technological reason” that
causes them to miss the deadline. DON’T LET THIS HAPPEN
TO YOU!
Do notcreate documents inPages (MAC Program) or Google
docs. The instructor can only open documents that have been
created in “Microsoft Word”. Microsoft Word file extensions

are one of two types: videocase.doc or videocase.docx.
It is expected that a work submitted for grading is original and
not copied. Anyone caught cheating or plagiarizing material
will receive a failing grade for that assignment and may be
expelled from the course.
In-class rules:
Do not engage in private conversations in class. This practice is
both distracting and unprofessional. Do not use your computer
or cell phone in class unless you are using the device to take
notes, and make sure that your cell phone is on vibrate. Also, do
not sleep. Most students work, attend school, and have family
responsibilities and it is understandable that they might be tired.
The best solution is to stay home and rest.
Special Accommodations:
“If you have a disability documented by a physician or other
appropriate professional and wish to discuss academic
accommodations, please contact the DPSS office at (626) 914-
8675.
Please discuss your accommodations with me during office
hours or, after class and be sure to allow at least one week in
order for the instructor to arrange appropriate classroom testing
accommodations”.

Hacking is basically an illegal act through which unauthorized
persons access the systems of any user, individual or
organization around the globe, whether it is a
common person, organization or renowned. They have the
ability to hack personal and confidential information. For this
purpose, we have considered an article
regarding hacking written by Stan Horaczek. The article has
explained the tactics which are being used by hackers along
with hacked system statistics done in the last
few years. In 2018, total of 144.5 million security numbers had
been hacked, 1.8 million e-mail addresses, 97,500 Tax ID
numbers and much more confidential
information have been tracked and hacked by the hackers

(Huraczek, 2018). The whole hacking is ironically used to
blackmail the respective person for money. Most
of the time, the organization’s entire information systems are
hacked in order to leak their private data into the public. This is
all that hackers do but they have
basically used the illegal means in order to destroy others by
using their very own personal information. On the other hand,
the author also represented an ethical
hacking system in which organizations hire hackers who do
hacking on behalf of the organizations. These are basically
under the law because they do not hack or use
illegal information. Ethical Hacking is basically referring to
‘White Hat’ in the Internet world. It is an internet slang used
for the ethical computer hackers or acts as
a computer security system which has expertise in penetration
testing along with other testing methodologies in order to
ensure the security of the organizational
information system. Learning moral hacking consolidates
concentrating the attitude, contraptions and methods of
engineers and entry analyzers to comprehend how
to perceive, triage and right vulnerabilities in programming and
PC structures (Patra, 2015). Based on this article, we have
extracted certain benefits of ethical hacking
which helps the organization in order to improve the IT
environment of the organization in a more effective and
appropriate way. Overall, it’s an immoral act because
due to which a person or an organization lose their data and
most importantly, the hard work of employees shall have no use
at all. References
