A lack of tight security implementation makes a system vulnerable to viruses and other malware attacks. This can result in failure of the system, and also an even more widespread computer failure, as viruses are spread from user to user. Security encroachments are also serious matters when users entrust personal information to a company or the government, such as Social Security and credit card numbers and credit card data. Encryption of sensitive data; limits to entry by unauthorized users; regular maintenance (ensuring users are forced to use very secure passwords and to change them regularly); keeping track of regular patterns of use so unusual activity can be spotted by the system; and periodic 'test runs' of attacks are all essential for a high-functioning secure system (McNamara 2011). Significant vulnerabilities may be found over time, given the speed with which new threats and penetration techniques are being created worldwide (Hoover 2010).
Q3. Create a survey of 5 questions with the following 5 level scale: Strongly Agree, Agree, Uncertain, Disagree, and Strongly Disagree. Your questions must revolve around the topic of cybercrime. Make sure the questions are generic and not personal.
1. I feel that I am likely to be...
Becoming a victim of cybercrime is unlikely, if I take proper precautions to protect my identity.
3. Designers of computer applications are concerned about the potential hazards of cybercrime.
4. My risk of becoming a victim of cybercrime makes me wary of shopping or banking online.
5. My risk of becoming a victim of cybercrime is greater when I use mobile technology.

Cybercrime has become a serious problem in the world we live in. The abundance of personal computers that are readily available at relatively low prices has spawned the growth in Cybercrime all over the globe. As a result, law enforcement agencies have developed cybercrime forensics which is designed to track down those that are responsible for cyber crimes. The purpose of this discussion is to analyze this subject and discuss
IT Security Plan The technological advances that have been witnessed in the past twenty to thirty years, has placed a tremendous emphasis on data and information. Computers have changed the world in many facets and the ability to communicate and perform work have been greatly assisted by the digital age. Along with these new found powers, there exists also new found threats. The ability to protect these investments and resources of
Traffic Analysis/Homeland Security One of the biggest challenges currently faced by the Department of Homeland Security is guaranteeing cybersecurity. Each and every day some type of cyber crime occurs. Such crimes have the potential to affect the country's national security. This paper investigates the significance of internet traffic and analysis to Homeland Security. It will look at the importance of internet traffic and analysis to Homeland Security as well as encrypted

This researcher rejects the existence of online communities because computer mediated group discussions cannot possibly meet this definition. Weinreich's view is that anyone with even a basic knowledge of sociology understands that information exchange in no way constitutes a community. For a cyber-place with an associated computer mediated group to be labeled as a virtual settlement it is necessary for it to meet a minimum set of conditions. These are:
Security Information is the Power. The importance of collecting, storing, processing and communicating the relevant information presently is viewed as crucial in order to achieve success in almost all the fields be it business firms, individuals or organizations. An integrated set of components assisting collection, store, process and communication of information is termed as information system. Increasing dependence on information systems is noticed in order to excel in the respective fields
