Network Security and Privacy in Medium Scale Businesses in NigeriaINFOGAIN PUBLICATION
Network security consists of the provisions and policies adopted by a network administrator to prevent and monitor unauthorized access, misuse, modification, or denial of a computer network and network-accessible resources. This study investigates a general framework for assessing the security and privacy of current networks. We ask a more general question: what security and privacy mechanisms are available to the medium sized businesses in Nigeria and to what extent have they utilized these mechanisms for the safety of organizational data. The study made use of both primary and secondary data sources. The primary source was a questionnaire administered to a total of 105 medium scale businesses in some of states i, Nigeria. The result showed that medium scale businesses in Nigeria store electronic data to a very high extent but lack the adequate hardware/software to prevent unauthorized access to electronically stored data. However, many of these companies do not have official policy as regards customer data privacy. In cases where they exist, customers are not aware of such policies. This study therefore recommends that government and regulatory bodies should give serious attention to network security and privacy of medium scale businesses in Nigeria. Network security standards should be set for any organization setting up or providing a wireless network. Government should also review existing data privacy laws and ensure that customers are aware of such laws before engaging in any transaction that involves giving aware their personal data to the third party.

The social aspect of Smart Wearable Systems in the era of Internet-of-ThingsAnax Fotopoulos
Social networking (Web 2.0) changed the way of interaction and communication of humans-to-humans, companies-to-customers, universities-to-students and state-to-citizens. The movement from static web pages (Web 1.0) to social networking and the rapid growth of smart devices created a new need for more complex data-on-demand across multiple platforms and devices. Cloud computing, miniaturization of sensors and low energy wireless technologies offered adequate possibilities to measure and understand environmental, health, industrial and other indicators, delivered in smart devices or in the web. The skyrocketing proliferation of the bidirectional communication between sensors and smart devices created a new series of products bringing us to the era of Internet-of-Things (IoT). The ubiquitous computing (presumed as Web 3.0) states that computing will appear in any device and in any location. Smart Wearable Systems (SWS) constitute the latest effort of academia and industry to toward this direction, aiming to enhance the communication and the velocity between IoT applications, smart devices (smartphones, tablets & smart TVs) and social networks. In this paper an analysis over social aspects of SWS is performed. Recent reports show that IoT market will be bigger than the total market of smart devices and PCs combined, enlarging the overall interest.

Top Trends in the cybersecurity industry
New components introduced into the ecosystem of computing allow new attack vectors: IoT is one of the components that attract cyber attacks, AI-based systems like assistants will invite attacks since first devices and software will not be built considering security protocols. The existing systems of cloud and mobile security will as well be open to attacks as in social engineering, ransomware and continued Advance Persistent Threat attacks (Qureshi, 2018). (All the old methods will be applied with more specialized goals and increased intensity). Expect high-profit applications like cryptocurrency to attract various attacks too. Developing protections in these areas is an ongoing struggle. In this document, we are going to look at some of the current trends in the cyber-security industry and emerging issues such Security and Privacy Merge, AI + ML = forensics and investigations and then focus the research on IoT security issues (Sharma, Tripathi & Panda, 2018).
Trend 1: Security and Privacy Merge
Even though everybody is still trying to comprehend the new privacy landscape and maybe because we have not grasped the new realities. Perhaps it is our ever-increasing focus on privacy overall and GDPR precisely.
What is evident is that there is an increase in companies seeking NAC solutions to keep up with all the new compliance regulations and it is very satisfying to hear that sigh of relief when a company has implemented their solution.
The global regulatory landscape has given way to the emerging trend of merging privacy and security roles. The new policies on privacy laws will require clear, tangible and operational IT security controls (Lin, 2017). While chief privacy officers and chief information security officers have clearly defined roles, it is important for these two roles and their teams to work closely together to leverage their unique skill sets and knowledge bases to ensure their organizations comply with their required regulations and protect their important, sensitive data and information.
Like peanut butter and jelly or milk and cookies, the security and privacy fields go better together. Both communities have started a slow but steady commingling in recent years, all with the goal of improving information protection measures on a large scale (Whitmore, Agarwal, & Da Xu, 2015). At the heart of the convergence of security and privacy is the recognition that information is an essential tool in every organization setting. As pressure keeps rising to protect data while also defending consumer and employee privacy, it's hard to imagine the two functions will remain siloed for much longer.
Trend 2: AI + ML = forensics and investigations
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are going to be implemented into the arena of practical usage in cybersecuri.
The crime that involves and uses computer devices and Internet, is known as cybercrime. Cybercrime can be committed against an individual or a group it can also be committed against government and private organizations. It may be intended to harm someone’s reputation, physical harm, or even mental harm. Cyber security is a potential activity by which information and other communication systems are protected from and or defended against the unauthorized use or modification or exploitation or even theft. Likewise, cyber security is a well designed technique to protect computers, networks, different programs, personal data, etc., from unauthorized access. All sorts of data whether it is government, corporate, or personal need high security however, some of the data, which belongs to the government defense system, banks, defense research and development organization, etc. are highly confidential and even small amount of negligence to these data may cause great damage to the whole nation. Therefore, such data need security at a very high level.

INFORMATION SECURITY MANAGEMENT - Critique the employment of ethical hacking ...Hansa Edirisinghe
This report discuses the employment of ethical hacking through a disciplined, systematic analysis as a way of reviewing and strengthening the security of information systems. The preliminary objective of this study is therefore to understand the concept of Ethical Hacking. - By Hansa Edirisinghe
This document analyzes data from the Shodan search engine to summarize exposed cyber assets in the top 10 largest US cities by population. It finds that while New York City has a larger population than Houston, Houston has over 3 times as many exposed assets. The majority of exposed devices run embedded Linux and are connected via Ethernet/modem. Common exposed device types include firewalls, webcams, wireless access points, printers, routers, and phones. The document aims to increase awareness of exposed devices and associated security risks.
Cyber threat intelligence (TI) allows organizations to make better defensive decisions by providing evidence-based information about existing or emerging cyber threats. TI supports decision-makers by helping cope with threats before they become incidents. While historically intelligence was seen as offensive, the purpose of TI is to enable defensive decision-making. Sharing TI information is more effective than keeping it private, as it improves understanding and defenses across organizations. Automated platforms like MISP facilitate rapid, widespread TI sharing while reducing unknown risks. Developing analytical skills is essential for cyber threat analysts to effectively leverage TI.

Analysis of personal information security behavior and awareness.docxdaniahendric
Analysis of personal information security behavior and awareness
It's a developing portion of human security that aims at raising awareness concerning the dangers of fast-evolving information forms and emerging threats to the info which focuses on human character. Since threats have developed and information is developing value, attackers have upgraded their abilities and extended to broader intentions. Also, more means of making the attacks have as well developed (Öğütçü, Testik & Chouseinoglou, 2016). The attacks have evolved to circumvent processes and controls. Aggressors have focused and effectively exploited the character of humans to breach relevant infrastructure schemes and corporate networks. Individual who are unaware about the threats may circumvent traditional processes and security controls and cause organization breach. In reply, information security awareness is growing.
The main aim of the concept in the discussion is to enhance awareness to everyone and inform that they can be a victim of the threats and risk any time. Information security consciousness responds to developing cyber-attacks. Most of the time, people assume that security it's all about technical controls (Ki-Aries & Faily, 2017). But the fact is that people are the targets and the character they possess can cause risk or offer countermeasures in response to threats and risks. Awareness metrics are increasing at a high rate to know and amount people threat landscape. The increase also aims at reducing risks associated with organizations and weigh the effectiveness and expense of awareness as the countermeasure.
Most of the organizations don't invest a lot in information security. Few organizations pay attention to security issues. They tend to assume all is well so long as they have a password in their systems. However, this not trust because if an attack occurs, such kind of organization is likely to suffer a lot. Security is an essential plan any organization can adopt to minimize security threats resulting from workers. Awareness plan assists associates to understand that security it's not personal responsibility but everyone's' responsibility. Everyone should be careful when it comes to security because nobody can choose to be a victim, but they only find themselves (Ki-Aries & Faily, 2017). Employees should be accountable for the actions done under their empathies. Security awareness enforces effective means of how business computers can be handled.
A policy developed should give awareness about social media and other types of virus. Workers should be aware of necessary to be followed when using computers. Alternatively, Companies can plan to form interactive sessions for every worker to get to understand more about their security. Such kind of interactive sessions entails consciousness about new risks and measure to overcome them. The program of awareness won't be gainful if no punishment for those who violate rules. Employees who don't adhere to the pr ...
Database Security Is Vital For Any And Every OrganizationApril Dillard
This document discusses database security and the importance of proper security measures for organizations that use databases. It provides examples of Target and Sony, who both suffered database breaches in recent years despite being warned about security flaws. The document argues that looking into these breaches could help design better databases, and that organizations should ensure employees are aware of good security practices. Simple measures like antivirus software, firewalls, and reviewing security across all databases can help create more secure systems.
Cyber Security Awareness and Corporate Agility of Deposit Money Banks in Nigeriaijtsrd
This article looks at corporate agility from indicators such as sensing agility, decision making agility, acting agility or practice. It went on to review what cyber security awareness entails by stating some of the most possible threat that people encountered on a daily bases. The article identify poor management of cyber security solutions provided by modern internet security experts in the form of difficulty of tracing the cyber crime attackers, limited cybercrime laws, and limited IT security knowledge among internet users as the problems that the study addresses. Theory of protection motivation was used primarily to explain cyber security awareness, and how and when a user adopts adaptive behaviors. The article conclude that cyber security awareness is more important now than it has ever been before and that threats to personal and corporate information are increasing and identities are getting stolen every day. The article recommend that government, deposit money banks, users, mass media and manager should introduce and enforce cybercrime laws, train ,offers advices and create more awareness among their staff and clients of the organization on the need to be aware of internet threat and be careful in their dealings on a daily bases.

CHAPTER 15
HRIS Privacy and Security
1
WHY PRIVACY IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT
An HRIS includes a great deal of confidential data about employees, such as Social Security numbers, medical data, bank account data, salaries, domestic partner benefits, employment test scores, and performance evaluations.
It is critical for organizations to understand and pay close attention to what employee data is collected, stored, manipulated, used, and distributed—when, why, and by whom.
Organizations also need to carefully consider the internal and external threats to these data and develop strong information security plans and procedures to protect these data and comply with legislative mandates.
Kavanagh, Human Resource Information Systems 4e. SAGE Publications, 2018.
2
WHY PRIVACY IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT
However, starting in the 1990s, as computer networks became more common, threats to information security became more involved due to the presence of enterprise-wide systems.
There is a growing concern about the extent to which these systems permit users (both inside and outside of the organization) to access a wide array of personal information about employees. As a result, employees may perceive that if these data are accessed by others, the information contained in their employment files may embarrass them or result in negative outcomes (e.g., denial of promotion or challenging job assignment).
Kavanagh, Human Resource Information Systems 4e. SAGE Publications, 2018.
3
WHY PRIVACY IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT
Recent research suggests that this concern may be well founded. For example, one report indicated that over 500 million organizational records have been breached since 2005, and there has been a rise in the theft of employment data (Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, 2010).
In view of the growing concern about identity theft and the security of employment information in HRIS, a number of states (e.g., AK, CA, FL, HI, IL, LA, MO, NY, SC, WA) passed privacy laws requiring organizations to adopt reasonable security practices to prevent unauthorized access to personal data (Privacy Protections in State Constitutions, 2012).
Kavanagh, Human Resource Information Systems 4e. SAGE Publications, 2018.
4
WHY PRIVACY IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT
Despite these new laws, results of surveys revealed that 43% of businesses stated that they did not put any new security solutions in place to prevent the inadvertent release or access to employee data, and almost half did not change any internal policies to ensure that data were secure.
The cost of these data breaches can be large. For example, the average cost of a data breach has increased to almost $7 million per firm.
Kavanagh, Human Resource Information Systems 4e. SAGE Publications, 2018.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Well, here is our mission…What is the “Information Age”? Take a minute to think about Information all around you. What information have you produced, come in contact with, or ignored in the last 10 minutes?(Bar code on card you handed in, iPod, mobile phone, PPT slide)Think about your life, day-in, day-out. Information is all around you—and we increasingly rely on it to make our lives work.STORY: Steve asking me a question and none of us knew the answer in the meeting. What did we do? What would we have done 5 years ago? 10 years ago? Parents—30 years ago?This IS the information age; and this College was created to pioneer research, education, and forward thinking in this new era.Here is a quick example…
Have you ever done this—”Where is the closest Starbucks?” (If you don’t drink coffee now, you just might when you get to college…)
First you search for Penn State area
Then you search for Starbucks near Penn State. College Avenue appears. Sounds close!!
Then you look at the street view--ah-ha!! This is what we drove by this morning!! Think about all the things involved in this quick interaction with your information technology device.You, the person, want something (coffee). You need information (location of Starbucks).You turn to the technology in your hand to get the information (iPod).Someone who works for Google anticipated this need. The Google Maps Vehicle driver drove through town and collected videos of street views. Someone organized, labeled, and stored them.Someone wrote a program to deliver that image over the Internet.You made use of all this: the information, the information databases where the info was stored, the networks through which the data was passed, and the programs that someone wrote to get the information to you.And then you drank your coffee.THIS is the information age. And there is much more…
Let’s go back to what our website said: IST is about the interaction of people, tech, and info. Let’s put a few more words around this interaction to make more sense of this statement.THEN (after all animations):Can you give one example people who use information technologies? (How about people searching for a college???)What information might those people want or need?What might they want to do with the information?What technologies might they use?Let’s look at some other examples.
Let’s look at some examples…How do we enable this to happen? We teach students what they need to know to be able to:develop applications for iPods
How about another example…How do we enable this to happen? We teach students what they need to know to be able to:Protect an organization’s private information
Here’s an example from our most popular area of study…How do we enable this to happen? We teach students what they need to know to be able to:Consult with corporations that need help making their various systems of information “talk” to each other more efficiently
And if you are interested in policy-related aspects of information technology use, how about this example…How do we enable this to happen? We teach students what they need to know to be able to:Advise on policy-making regarding the internet regulations and lawsDOES THIS HELP GIVE YOU A SENSE OF WHAT WE ARE CONCERNED WITH IN THIS COLLEGE??? (Please ask now if you have questions…)
Let’s take a closer look at the degrees we offer—first the B.S. in IST. Here is where it can get confusing—we have a major with the same name as the College. But I will try to be specific in referring to one or the other.

Our SECOND B.S. is in “Security and Risk Analysis.”
The Security and Risk Analysis major focuses on how to design systems that are secure (while still allowing people to work), how to measure risk, and how to make decisions to ensure that proper levels of privacy are maintained for individual technology users, businesses, government, and other organizations. The SRA major promotes an understanding of information system design and operation, and of the legal and cultural issues surrounding privacy, intelligence, and security.Students learn about:Computer securityNetwork securityCyber crime The politics and “business” of terrorism Offensive and defensive use of computer and information networksDecision theoryPrivacy and legal/regulatory issues Implications of digital social networking Let’s take a look at a few examples of what our SRA students are prepared to face…
Students help protect individuals from phishing –where someone seeks personal information under false pretense—e.g., Hallmark cards and Google jobs
Students help prevent and investigate Business threatsFirst article, network breach: Federal Fire Department workers are being asked to look for unusual activity on bank accounts because an employee wrongfully accessed their information.Second article: privacy at risk: potential Chinese hackers at Google
Students help protect national security interests…We see plenty of articles in the news about Government-industry partnership to targets cyber security threats.
