Case Study 2: Security in Bluetooth and other Mobile Devices

Due Week 7 and worth 100 points

 

Before supporting mobile and wireless devices, organizations need to ensure that they have analyzed the potential security and implementation issues associated with those devices. Additionally, they need to ensure that they have taken the proper precautions and implemented the proper security controls to mitigate vulnerabilities. Read the NIST Draft SP 800-164, Guidelines on Hardware-Rooted Security in Mobile Devices, located at http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/drafts/800-164/sp800_164_draft.pdf.

 

Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:

1. Based on what you read in the NIST SP 800-164 publication, for the Financial industry, assess the security risks and vulnerabilities associated with mobile devices in this environment. Describe the security controls that this industry needs to implement to mitigate wireless vulnerabilities.
2. Assess the strategic implications of deciding to implement wireless and mobile technologies into the Financial industry environment.
3. Analyze the factors that business managers must consider when determining if wireless and mobile devices are appropriate in their business environment.
4. Establishing multiple layers of defense is important in security. Describe why and how the different types of security controls are necessary to mitigate potential security issues. Describe how the types of radio signals and structure of wireless and cellular networks impact the security of wireless networks.
5. Create a Network Architecture diagram depicting the layers of security controls to mitigate security threats in a large corporate environment through the use of graphical tools in Microsoft Word or Visio, or an open source alternative such as Dia. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length.
6. Use at least four (4) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

The purpose of this activity is to demonstrate your application of ethical concepts to the case study about embedded media.

Read the case study on page 222 of the textbook and respond to Question 1.

Based on your readings and thoughts on embedded journalism, respond to the following:

• In your opinion, do journalists lose their objectivity when they observe a conflict or confrontation and are embedded in one side of it?
• Embedded reporters may come to identify with the soldiers and police officers around who are also protecting them. Would that affect their objectivity? Provide examples to illustrate your answers.

Synthesize your primary response into a 250– 350 word post. Using the APA format, provide at least one reference citation for a credible source outside the textbook such as a research article, a book, or a credible website. Be sure to review your writing for grammar and spelling before posting

Part 1. Create a SWOTT table for clothing business. Your environmental analysis should take into account all of the following factors. Therefore your SWOTT table should include 8 external and 11 internal forces. Think of something for all of them….even Global. You may not intent for your business to go global…but I bet there are some global forces that may need to be aware of.

o External forces and trends considerations: (Opportunities and Threats and Trends)

Legal and regulatory
Global
Economic
Technological
Innovation
Social
Environmental
Competitive analysis

o Internal forces and trends considerations: (Strengths and Weaknesses)

Strategy
Structures
Processes and systems
Resources
Goals
Strategic capabilities
Culture
Technologies
Innovations
Intellectual property
Leadership

Part 2. Write a 1,400- to 1,750-word synopsis in which you do ALL of the following:

o analyze at least seven of the forces and trends from the list above. Be sure to identify the forces and trends that are strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats, and/or trends.

o additionally discuss legal and regulatory forces as they apply to your business

o Critique how well your organization adapts to change.

o Analyze the supply chain operations of the organization.

o Identify potential issues and/or opportunities that may arise.

***** The words in your SWOTT table do NOT count toward the total word count.

Format your paper according to APA guidelines.

*** TIP – Keep in mind that Strengths and Weaknesses are internal forces…and Opportunities, Threats, and Trends are external forces. Consider how these affect YOUR company that you are creating for this class. I recommend that you create a table within your document (not a separate spreadsheet).

I have attached an example of a SWOTT table. The cells that are highlighted with color are the ones you should complete for that specific factor (S&W = internal OTT = external). Feel free to use this as your table…or create your own if you would prefer. DO NOT submit this table with the assignment instructions included.

Be sure to carefully read all the requirements for this assignment…there are a few that are often missed.

Remember….EVERY paper should have at least 3 good references (always reference your textbooks when you are explaining the main focus of the week…which this week is SWOTT…what is a SWOTT analysis…why is it important…etc.)

Be sure to review Tips for Getting Good Grades as your write.

Always include section headings and an Table of Contents.

Your textbooks have excellent examples of each of the individual forces….so refer to them…

Points will be deducted if:

…you do not include a cover page and Table of Contents

…you do not include section headings (please bold the headings)

…you do not include at least 3 references

…your references are not cited within your paper

…your paper is late

…you have spelling and/or grammar errors

…you don’t adequately cover the material from the assignment instructions

…your paper does not flow well (Business Plans are pretty standard, so when someone is reading your business plan they should be able to glance through it and find the information they are looking for. I have given you the instructions in the proper order they should appear in your business plan, so stick to that order)

In this forum, let’s think more broadly about communication and ethnicity or national identity.

• What do you think are the most important barriers that inhibit communication between people of different ethnicities or nationalities? How would you recommend overcoming those barriers?
• What can be done to make friendships or relationships across ethnic or national barriers successful?
• Please share your specific experiences communicating across ethnic or national barriers

n this discussion, we will explore our own diversity. You will answer the questions listed and share your thoughts with your peers.

How would you describe your cultural (both intercultural and complementary) relationships?
What works well and what challenges do you experience?
When there are challenges, what strategies do you use to help you overcome these barriers?

Your initial post needs to be a minimum of 200 words in length. Please post early in the week. Once you post your response, read two peer entries and ask your peers two questions based on what you read in their post.

Many Whites argue that their resistance to affirmative action and diversity programs is due in part to their families’ history of not owning slaves or not having practiced discrimination. What are some ways in which Whites who have not done these acts nonetheless benefited from and been advantaged by slavery and discrimination? (210 Words)

 

 

2. Recall the study by Castilla that found similar starting salaries but differential salary growth for women and minorities when compared to White men, even when performance ratings were the same. What are some possible negative consequences for the organization if these salary differences become widely known? What specific steps would you recommend to avoid performance reward discrimination? (210 Words)

 

3. Search the EEOC website (http://www.eeoc.gov) for the most recent period (three months) for cases of discrimination charges and settlements against Blacks or Whites. In any month that you find a case involving discrimination, document the events surrounding this case. What proportion of cases involved race-based discrimination against Whites? What proportion of cases involved race-based discrimination against Blacks? (310 Words)

According to the American Lung Association, “each year, more than 400,000 Americans die of lung disease” (American Lung Association, 2009). In addition, lung disease is a chronic illness that impacts other systems of the body as those systems receive reduced oxygen flow diminishing quality of life and mobility. There are many pharmacological therapeutic experiments that can be used across the life span to treat respiratory disorders.

Gastrointestinal disorders are also very common and individuals frequently attempt to treat these disorders with over-the-counter medications. However, overuse of these medications can cause adverse side effects including constipation, diarrhea, or acid rebound.

This week, you will examine the drugs used to treat respiratory and GI disorders. You will explore the signs and symptoms of respiratory and GI disorders as well as the dangers of self-medication. In addition, the use of alternative treatments and lifestyle changes will be discussed.

Objectives

By the end of this week, students will be able to:

Describe the mechanisms of action between different types of drugs used to treat respiratory and GI disorders
Explain the adverse side-effects of drugs used to treat respiratory and GI disorde
