M3D1: Information Security
Time-to-exploitation is the elapsed time between when vulnerability is discovered and when it’s exploited. That time has shrunk from months to minutes so IT staff have ever-shorter timeframes to find and fix flaws before being compromised by an attack. Some attacks exist for as little as two hours, which means that enterprise IT security systems must have real-time protection.
The Information Security Forum (securityforum.org), a self-help organization that includes many Fortune 100 companies, compiled a list of the top information problems and discovered that nine of the top ten incidents were the result of three factors:
- Mistakes or human error
- Malfunctioning systems
- Misunderstanding the effects of adding incompatible software to an existing system
Unfortunately, these factors can often overcome the IT security technologies that companies and individuals use to protect their information.
Discuss the major objectives of a defense strategy? What is a firewall? What can it not protect against?
Once you have posted your response into the Message field on the forum, your next step is to peruse the postings of your fellow classmates. See the SBT Discussion Rubric for how you will be evaluated for this activity.
Use the subject line as an advanced organizer to allow your classmates and the instructor to have some idea of what you’re posting is about, for example a subject line “response to discussion question” is not appropriate. Your responses to fellow students should contain substance, should be more than just opinion, and must go beyond a simple agreement or disagreement.
Initial posts should be at least 150 words in length. Reply posts should be at least 50 words in length.
Compose your work using a word processor and save it, as a Plain Text or an .rtf, to your computer. When you’re ready to make your initial posting, please click on the “Create Thread” button and copy/paste the text from your document into the message field. Be sure to check your work and correct any spelling or grammatical errors before you post it.
Discussions are worth 20% of the final grade. Review the SBT Discussion Rubric located in the “Start Here” section of the course for more information on grading criteria.
It must have references!
