Darin Bartholomew commented on the post, Week 2 Question, on the site 7 years, 6 months ago
I think this highlights a massive issue that we’re going to have to face as a connected world and on a smaller level we need to figure this out as a county. Much like our lack of charter among countries, we also have a maze of different laws and regulations from state to state in the United States which complicates things. It’s going to start to…[Read more]

I thought this was a neat article. It challenges standard risk measurement techniques by claiming that we often fail to account for the actions of people. I agree. I think it is easy to look at and mitigate risks […]

There is a ransomware attack that is encrypting victims machines after tricking them by offering free access to Netflix on the website. In order to rid yourself of the attack you need to pay $100 worth of bitcoin.
I thought this was interesting because usually, at least in my reading, you see a story of ransomware targeting a machine that has…[Read more]

Roberto I like your idea about the leadership chart/chain of command. I think sometimes it’s easy for us to get lost in the policies and the investigative tools and forget the fact that there are humans behind all of this who need to be communicated with and considered.

Ruslan thanks for mentioning several tools that are helpful with forensics. I’m hoping we can learn a few of these in class.

Andres, I liked your way of breaking things down. When doing my initial post I ran into a similar feeling that a lot of things can fall under organizational forensics. It sometimes feels like a catch-all umbrella term.

I’m going to agree with Andres and his high level definition of organizational forensics. I think where organizational and digital forensics differ is that the organizational side is more the policies and procedures that need to be followed and the regulations that the business is placed under. Digital forensics is the evidence gathering to s…[Read more]

I agree with Shain with regards to question one. I think that when faced with a life threatening situation, a violation of HIPPA could be a risk that is accepted but there are things that can be done to reduce the number of incidents where that would happen, using mitigations like a safe send mentioned by Shain. Without a safe send the “life or…[Read more]

Buffer Bloat has to do with congestion of the network. Essentially there’s a buffer that is used to ensure that packets reach their destination without being dropped. The impact on TCP is that because of the way handshake, it takes a little more resources to complete connections and send packets which could lead to more use of resources.. One of…[Read more]

I support the use of these tools by a very small number of experienced members of the IT team at an organization. This would be contingent on them having very clearly defined engagement policies using these tools to find vulnerabilities and very clear definitions of where any investigation is to stop and how to document findings.
I would…[Read more]

I think the biggest concern is that the business or agency, without any contractual language, has no control over that device. With a completely open “BYOD” policy an employee could bring their tablet running an unpatched Windows 7 and browse an old version of Internet Explorer and store data without any antivirus protection at all.
The best way…[Read more] -

The answer to this question, I think, lies within the resources of the business. A larger company has the resources to develop plans for something as specific and rare as a pandemic but a smaller organization might broaden the scope to a more generic “mass loss of life.”
I think the threat to IT is that in a pandemic situation there could be a…[Read more]

This is over simplified, but I admittedly struggle with the complexity of this. Quantum computing in general brings so much more computing power to the table. It’s the ability to compute mathematical problems and algorithms quicker. This could be used to crack existing cryptography quicker or create more complex algorithms to encrypt data. I a…[Read more]

I would prefer windows because at the end of the day, you know Microsoft is the responsible party for patching and fixing issues. Depending on your distribution of Linux, that’s a little fuzzier. Since Microsoft and Windows have a larger market share and more money, tons of resources can be spent securing their operating systems compared with L…[Read more]
