The three major types of malicious activities that organizations’ information systems face include:

1. Hostile or malicious insider activity.
2. Theft of private, proprietary, or sensitive data, by insiders or external attackers.
3. Large scale DoS (denial-of-service) attacks.
   Based on your research:

• Describe a present-day example of your selected type of malicious activity and its impact on the organization.
• Specify the countermeasures the organization took to address the malicious activity.
• Recommend at least one additional preventative countermeasure and at least one countermeasure organizations could take to address this type of activity once it has occurred.

Practical connection paper

 In your opinion, what might be some team responsibilities that are not covered in any of these roles? Could you see yourself becoming a scrum master? Why or why not? 

250-300 words

1. For this discussion topic, you will need to research methods of dealing with add in hardware devices and how they work with virtualization.  Add in hardware would be items outside of the standard server configuration and might include things like USB license keys, barcode scanners, specialty video cards etc.  As part of the discussion you will want to identify the type of hardware you found and some recommended solutions for making it work with a virtual server. 

2. For this assignment, you need to investigate what options the hypervisor you recommended in your type 1 hypervisor compare assignment have to provide highly available services.  How do these items tie into what you read about in the chapter and which ones would you recommend implementing?  While you investigate the process of making your virtual machines highly available, what else did you run across that could have an impact on the availability of your machines and services that is outside of the control of your hypervisor?  Write up a summary of the features of the hypervisor you choose, a brief section on the non-hypervisor factors and your recommendations for which features are most important to implement to ensure the best availability of your virtual machines.

DISCUSSION ANSWER should be at least 100 words with References.

ASSIGNMENT 1:
I. SHORT ANSWERS Limit your answer to no more than 10-20 words

 The vegetation patterns
 The location of supermarkets in Fairfax, VA

3. Which of the following are NOT the advantages of vector data structure?

 Compact data structure
 Accurate graphic representation  Overlay analysis is easy

III. TRUE AND FALSE QUESTIONS Mark with T=True or F=False the following statements

1. Today success or failure with GIS depends more on technology, but not on the conceptual models of

space

TRUE FALSE

2. GIS analyst spends much more time on creation than on verification a model

 TRUE FALSE

3. In a GIS attribute information and spatial information are linked to each other 

TRUE FALSE

4. Spatial environmental surface analysis and modeling is easy with CAD systems 

TRUE FALSE

5. When you select the spatial feature on a map in ArcGIS, the attribute information about the same feature has to be found and selected separately

TRUE FALSE

Topic:  Malicious individuals have discovered several methods to attack and defeat cryptosystems. It’s important that understand the threats posed by cryptographic attacks to minimize the risks to your network systems.

Identify one cryptographic attack and how you can protect against it.
