The writing should be clear and concise.  Headings should be used to transition thoughts.  Don’t forget that the grade also includes the quality of writing.

Take a position on the ethical concerns raised by employees who are upset about organizations monitoring their e-mail or Internet access for security purposes.

• Assess whether you believe it is fair for an employee to undergo this type of surveillance.
• Suggest an alternative approach for an organization to control security without monitoring employee actions.

Week 6 Discussion – Vulnerability Prioritizing

Week 6 Assignment – Mobile Security Issues

While we as security practitioners have been working feverishly over the last 10 years to secure our traditional endpoints, our users have become less invested in their no-fun company laptop, and more enthralled with their smart phone or tablet. With the company laptop, you won the difficult battle of deploying appropriate controls: whole-disk encryption, data leakage prevention, group policy–controlled everything. When you weren’t looking, users started working on their other devices more and more; then, one fateful day, your gadget-happy executive attended a big meeting with an iPad to take notes and a new battle began. It was just a matter of time before people started talking about data breaches with unprotected smart phones and tablets.

This weeks reading mentioned various types of mobile attacks. In your own words state what types of attacks exists and the method of approach you would utilize to address the attack in an enterprise setting.  Please state your answer in a 1-2 page paper in APA format. Include citations and sources in APA style.

At UC, it is a priority that students are provided with strong educational programs and courses that allow them to be servant-leaders in their disciplines and communities, linking research with practice and knowledge with ethical decision-making. This assignment is a written assignment where students will demonstrate how this course research has been or will be connected and put into practice within your career.

Assignment:
Provide a reflection of at least 500 words (or 2 pages double spaced) of how the knowledge, skills, or theories of this course have been applied or could be applied, in a practical manner to your current work environment. If you are not currently working, share times when you have or could observe these theories and knowledge could be applied to an employment opportunity in your field of study. 

Requirements:

Provide a 500 word (or 2 pages double spaced) minimum reflection.

Use of proper APA formatting and citations. If supporting evidence from outside resources is used those must be properly cited.

Share a personal connection that identifies specific knowledge and theories from this course.

You should NOT, provide an overview of the assignments assigned in the course. The assignment asks that you reflect how the knowledge and skills obtained through meeting course objectives were applied or could be applied in the workplace.

This week’s article provided a case study approach which highlights how businesses have integrated Big Data Analytics with their Business Intelligence to gain dominance within their respective industry.  Search the UC Library and/or Google Scholar for a “Fortune 1000” company that has been successful in this integration. Discuss the company, its approach to big data analytics with business intelligence, what they are doing right, what they are doing wrong, and how they can improve to be more successful in the implementation and maintenance of big data analytics with business intelligence. 

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

• Be approximately four to six pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.
