Data Access

Answer the following questions :

1. Consider a company like Facebook, which serves millions (billions?) of customers, and claims to require that each account be associated with exactly one person, and that the person must correctly identify themselves. Describe at least two approaches that might be used to uniquely and positively identify individuals before they sign up for an account (so that I can’t claim to be someone else, for example), and the data access required to make that happen. These could be online or human-assisted validation approaches. Comment briefly on the tradeoffs between your two approaches. (2-3 paragraphs)

2. Cloud computing, while not new, is gaining in visibility and popularity, both among consumers and businesses. How does using a cloud computing service affect an organization’s risk management? Name at least three aspects of cloud operations that make things easier for the InfoSec team, and three aspects that make things harder for the InfoSec team to be confident about their security management. Explain why.

3.Consider the legal and regulatory impacts on information security. There were stories that indicated that the US National Security Agency had requested encryption keys from U.S. companies are, so that they could at any time decrypt communications or other data held by those companies, and that Yahoo! had routinely scanned millions of e-mails on behalf of US intelligence agencies. Assuming those stories are true, what two or three approaches might individuals take to protect their data from this type of access? Comment on the tradeoffs between the approaches you identify. Based on Apple and Google’s claims that they have made themselves unable to respond to law enforcement requests, how does this affect your position? (2-3 paragraphs)

4. Bring your own device, or BYOD, is a hot topic in the security industry. What are at least three areas of the information security practice that are affected by people bringing their own electronic devices into the workplace, and using them for work purposes? Identify the three areas, and comment briefly on how each is affected by BYOD. (2-3 paragraphs)
