 Everyone should worry about getting a computer virus that will corrupt or destroy files. Some suggest that software developers may be taking advantage of this fear by sending out misleading or fake virus alerts. One reported scam encourages users to download a free virus detection program. This free download begins by actually installing a virus onto the user’s computer. It then performs a bogus scan, locating the virus and then offering to remove the virus for a fee. Obviously, this is unethical, not to mention illegal. How can you and legitimate antivirus manufacturers protect themselves against viruses and unethical software developers? Read the attached document titled Discussion 2-Ethics.pdf and the suggested articles below, then respond to the following questions.

1. Have you ever been offered a free virus alert program? If so, describe the offer and whether you accepted the offer.
2. Almost all legitimate antivirus software manufacturers issue new virus alerts. Do you think these alerts are motivated by greed or by good consumer service? Why or why not?
3. Is this an ethical issue for antivirus software manufacturers? If so, create some ethical guidelines for antivirus software manufacturers to follow when issuing virus alerts.
4. What can users do to protect themselves against antivirusscams and against unethical manufacturers of antivirusprograms? Be specific and defend your suggestions.

You were recently hired by a company that is spread over several buildings along several city blocks and uses a MAN with high bandwidth capabilities to connect all buildings. Because of heavy videoconferencing use, they have installed fiber-optic cable for media to interconnect sites on this MAN. Majority of the employees are moving constantly between the buildings to complete tasks and use handheld wireless computers that communicate to an access point attached to the MAN. You are reviewing these recent upgrades to familiarize yourself and see that there are some best practices not being implemented. Namely the telco rooms are in disarray. You see sloppy cable terminations, cables tightly wrapped around rack corners and intertwined, TIA/EIA 568 recommendations have been exceeded and there are no labels on any cables, ports or jacks. You have been told that the previous network manager just didn’t have the time to address these items due to budget and overtime limitations which you have inherited.

Write an explanation detailing what steps need to be taken to improve the conditions in the telcom rooms and why you should be permitted to have staff work overtime to correct these oversights. Describe what are the TIA/EIA 568 recommendations. What issues are associated with these types of oversights.

FUNCTIONAL DESIGN

[Integrate information from step 2. Prepare a functional analysis and design using SQUARE for requirements information gathering. Review software quality requirements engineering (SQUARE). Identify the SQUARE process. Provide overview of how to collect requirements for security technology and techniques being proposed.]

EVALUATION OF TECHNOLOGIES

[Integrate information from steps 3 and 4. Include different ways to secure data in the cloud. Research into Hadoop cloud environment and database models to understand what it takes to secure data in the cloud. After performing the Hadoop lab, collaborate on final results and include analysis on ways of securing data as part of SDLC. Provide summary on analysis and planning for evaluation of technologies and techniques examined for protection of client data in transit. Take time to review: server virtualization, benefits and features of cloud computing, mobile cloud computing. Compare different technologies and techniques. Include: encryption, access control and other techniques. Consider their efficiency, effectiveness and other factors that may affect the security of the data in the cloud. Include reasoning and conclusions. Include which is generally better, stronger technique and why.]
