Impact of sources of information on knowledge patterns of computer security Abstract Nowadays computer users have access to massive amounts of security information from a variety of sources. However, very few people receive proper training in computer security. In spite of the lack of formal education in computer security, most computer users are able to regularly make the right decision in regards to whether they should click on the link to a potentially risky threat or if they should share their passwords in some untrustworthy online platforms. Such decisions are easily made from both informal training as well as incidental learning. To understand more clearly the differences in security related knowledge from different computer users, this study compared three informal sources which provide computer security information which were web pages containing advice on computer security, new articles and stories about experiences from friends and family members. The study makes us of the Latent Dirichlet Allocation model for different topics in order to gauge the impact of security information to different groups of computer users. The results obtained show that computer…

computing research This is a negotiated research assignment. You are to propose and gain approval for a research paper title on one narrow topic that is relevant to your degree. This paper must be focussed on one narrow aspect of computing research and must not be the same as any other research you are doing, or will be required to do, for any other module while doing your degree. Guidance will be given on your proposed title by your local tutor but it is your responsibility to ensure you follow this advice and ensure that the paper you submit in the end has an appropriate title. Students on Applied Business Computing should write a research paper that is applicable to one aspect of applied business computing. For example: improving the design of computer systems in an application specific, but non-business specific, setting (e.g. predicting stock market trends), improving the efficiency of businesses by developing new and novel systems e.g. managing climate change, novel health care systems or enhancing criminal, legal or government systems. improving any aspect of software enterprise…
Cell Phone: A necessary Evil Many people in today’s world are so much addicted to the cell phones to an extent of finding life quite challenging without cell phones. With the growing world’s population and technology, cell phones are on the rise with thousands of companies worldwide manufacturing this device. Its compatibility with other electronics also results in its rapid increase among the population. Arguably, this device becomes the first point of concentration for most people when they wake up. They use it to check emails, social media outlets, phone calls to text messages and many others things. Nevertheless, several debates have been sparked on whether this device is helpful or harmful with respect to societal norms and ethics. In my proposition, cell phones are in high demand and they are of great help to the society rather than harming it. Nevertheless, other arguments assert that cell phones are harmful and are not needed in the society. According to these assertions, people tend to spend more time on cell phones depending on the technology from generation to generation, forgetting our…
Capstone Proposal Introduction One of the primary mission networks in our workforce is reliant on a sound static IP addressing scheme. Multiple workstations, printers, multifunctional devices, VOIP phones, and media devices make up this intricate network providing strategic communication and specialized resources to multiple personnel across different geographical locations. With the increase in operations the network has significantly grown and the management of usable IP addresses has at times become burdensome and even error prone for the networks team. Improper mapping of network devices, assignment of IP addresses, and overlapping IP ranges has significantly complicated the ability to maintain an ever increasing scalable network. In addition to IP conflicts, authentication issues have become more prevalent with improper manual configurations and lack of manpower is also a lingering concern with more time needed on device configuration/trouble shooting between the networks and systems departments. Networks have greatly evolved enabling them to accommodate business critical applications and services which are heavily relied upon by the user. In this situation, the network technicians are not only required to add new machines to the network…
Virtualization in cloud computing Virtualization software is often used to complete the computer system and to allow a guest computer to run, and it also acts as a host computer. Allowing Linux to run the computer operating on the Microsoft Windows operating system. The benefits of virtualization software reduce hardware costs and increase productivity. The security concerns of sprawl are that it affects machines even without IT detecting it, although it can be solved through identifying the scope, the entities coverage, and taking a platform. They are reducing hardware costs. Theoretically, humans only use 10% of their brains’ command, while servers use 5-15% of their capacity (Singh, 2018, p.64). Virtualization is achieved and increased because one server can hold multiple machines, thus reducing the hardware costs. According to a report conducted by Singh, virtualization reduces up to 40% of hardware costs. Increased productivity. Virtualization increases productivity in those applications that used to take weeks or days is now done in minutes (Verma, Malla, Choudhary, & Arora, 2019, p.129). Server virtualization brings positive transformations such as better recovery solutions, commercial use,…
Why is project scope management so challenging in IT projects? Project scope management is the process that ensures that a particular project includes all the work appropriate to attain the project’s aim. Basically, it controls what is and is not involved in the project (Derenskaya, 2018). For most IT projects to bring excellent results, the scope has to be followed to ensure the project is finished and delivered on time with the expected requirements met. However, it is strenuous to handle project scope management. These are some of the significant challenges in managing scope in IT projects: Lack of enough resources. The project scope management becomes difficult when there is a lack of enough people, hardware or software equipment. You may find that the people tasked for this work are not qualified enough or either they’re hired. In other cases, the software needed to build a particular project may be too expensive. Inadequate time has also been a problem in IT project. It involves how long the project will take to be completed. Some projects are too big to…
Trusted Computing Base The integrity, confidentiality, and protection of data are dependent on the security models in IT. Currently, computer security recognizes the importance of human discretion lying in the architecture of the Trusted Computing Base. The trusted computing base, TCB, is simply the totality of the hardware, software, processes as well as individuals with correct operations and decision making, which are considered essential in a company as far as security is concerned. The organizational TCB includes the system and its administrators operating the critical operations of protection. However, it also consists of the entire constructs for management and storage of personally identifiable information concerning the employees and customers as well. Candidates excluded from the TCB are those with malfunctions or public disclosure that is not likely to create a cascading problem (Mao, Chen & Zhang, 2016). The modern infrastructure has an extending TCB that reaches the systems as well as networks of partners and supplier groups. In turn, this has a significant complication in the environment that poses difficulty in controlling. Probably, a modern TCB has an extension exceeding…
Nursing Professional to the Public According to the general public, nursing is seen as a combination of skills, professionalism, and knowledge. Today nursing is treated as a healthcare professional with its rights, and that has a great possession of knowledge. On the contrary, the public, in most cases, does not value their competencies and skills that they have attained through innovation and education. It is caused as a result of the increasing trend of stereotyping. A lot of people believe that the working conditions of the nurses are powerless, hard, lacking autonomy, and thus they have other dreams of their career. The income level of most nurses is reduced, therefore making nurses have a low social class. There are various that influence the public’s perception of nurses. Some of these factors include work values, traditional social values, environment, and cultural values. The media, for example, in most cases, show nurses working on the bedside of a patient doing a routine and repetitive work. The work in the perception of the public is seen as the handmaid of a doctor. The…
