IT Management

Coordinators of an upcoming conference, attended by federal government IT managers and staff, invited you to participate in a panel presentation about privacy. For this activity, prepare a 5 to 7 paragraph briefing statement which answers the following four questions. Use information from the weekly readings as your research material. Go to Content >> Course Resources >> Expanded Explanation for Discussion Question Responses to learn more about the format requirements for a “briefing statement.” Definitions: Privacy has many definitions. When examining data protection and privacy laws and practices, it can be helpful to focus on four categories or classes of privacy. Information privacy is concerned with establishing rules that govern the collection and handling of personal information. Examples include financial information, medical information, government records and records of a person’s activities on the Internet. Bodily privacy focuses on a person’s physical being and any invasion thereof. Such an invasion can take the form of genetic testing, drug testing or body cavity searches. It also encompasses issues such as birth control, abortion, and adoption. Territorial privacy is concerned with placing limits on the ability to intrude into another individual’s environment. “Environment” can include the home, workplace, or public space. Invasion into an individual’s territorial privacy typically takes the form of monitoring such as video surveillance, ID checks, and use of similar technology and procedures. Communications privacy encompasses protection of the means of correspondence, including postal mail, telephone conversations, email, and other forms of communicative behavior and apparatus. Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA): A PIA is both a process and a document. It is a process that focuses upon identifying and assessing risks related to privacy of data handled by a specific IT system or database. It is a process that communicates the results of the PIA process to stakeholders. Released PIAs are either fully available to the public, while redaction removes sensitive/non-public information in other PIAs. When responding to this discussion, prepare a 5 to 7 paragraph briefing statement which answers the following four questions: 1. What is privacy? Is it a right? An expectation? Discuss differing definitions, e.g. “the average person” definition vs. a legal definition, and how these differences impact risk assessments for privacy protections (or the lack thereof). 2. What are some important best practices for protecting privacy for information collected, stored, used, and transferred by the US federal government? Identify and discuss three or more best practice recommendations for reducing risk by improving or ensuring the privacy of information processed by or stored in an organization’s IT systems and databases. 3. Explain why federal government agencies and departments required to complete PIA’s. Should every federal IT system have a PIA? Why or why not? 4. Name and briefly describe 3 benefits to citizens which result from the use of PIA’s. (Considering citizen’s needs for privacy and the protection of the privacy of individuals whose information is collected, processed, transmitted, and stored in federal government IT systems and databases.) Provide in-text citations and references for 3 or more authoritative sources. Put the reference list at the end of your posting. To ensure you include all required elements, be sure to use the Discussion Rubric when creating your initial response, critiques, and replies.

The technology acceptance model (TAM) is a two-factor model that describes user acceptance of new or replacement technology solutions (Davis, 1989). This evaluation model has withstood the test of time and is widely used. The model is based upon perceptions and beliefs of individuals and measures two types of factors: (a) perceived ease of use and (b) perceived usefulness. Prepare an analysis (briefing paper) (5 to 7 strong paragraphs) in which you explain how cybersecurity researchers could use the TAM model to explore the factors which affect employee acceptance of biometrics used for access to facilities and/or computing systems. What research questions might they ask? What measurements would be needed?  cite your sources (3 minimum) and include a reference list at the end

Unit VI PowerPoint PresentationUnit VI PowerPoint Presentation Instructions Recently, a terminated employee used his mobile device to log in to the company network and steal sensitive data. As the manager of the information technology (IT) security department, you were asked by your boss to present a summary of what the organization should do to prevent this from happening again. Create a PowerPoint presentation of your summary. In your PowerPoint presentation, you should include the components listed below. Explain the goal of information security in relation to mobile devices. Identify the three sources of threats, provide a summary of each, and provide at least one example of each. Explain technical safeguards, and discuss which technical safeguard(s) should be used for mobile devices. Explain data safeguards, and discuss which data safeguard(s) should be used in this type of scenario. Explain human safeguards, and discuss which human safeguard(s) should be implemented. Discuss why the organization needs an incident response plan to secure information and knowledge. Your presentation must be a minimum of six slides in length, not counting the title and reference slides. Be sure that any graphics used are appropriate and support the content of your presentation. You must use at least two references in your presentation, and they should be cited and referenced in APA format. Please cite all sources used.
