Public surveillance. Despite the recent discussions held over the usefulness of surveillance cameras, public surveillance is indeed doing precisely the opposite of what it was intended to do. 20% of Britain’s national criminal justice budget is wasted due to the expenses of the extensive video camera surveillance systems that aren’t making a significant impact on crime rates. Furthermore, just violating citizen’s rights on personal privacy and also has been seen to be abused by various individuals. Surveillance cameras are a waste of resources, a violation of privacy, and are mostly used for the wrong intentions. Therefore they should not be installed in public places. Millions of cameras are being installed in the streets and businesses of the United States to increase public safety. Millions of cameras are on the roads that are worth millions of dollars. In New York City, about 3000 cameras surveillance system cost more than $200 million to install. It is a significantly high number for such a piece of equipment. The funds that are being put into public surveillance could be put into good use somewhere…
Physical Security Controls Abstract For this task, one may ask the importance of physical security in the digital era. Guarding the server room or any computer hardware by the security personnel is one of the vital security features that one should consider rather than protecting the informational technology asset through using a keyboard. In this write-up, we are to come up with a suitable worst occurrence whereby an invader conquers physical security pedals and bypasses access control, thus gaining access to the IT assets. A scenario of physical attack “The VA reported that some 26.5 million U.S. Veterans had been released since 1975 have been put at risk (Santa Cruz, n.d.) for identity theft after their electronic records were stolen from the residence of a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs employee who wasn’t authorized to take the data home. (TechTarget, 2006) “ An interference concerning VA asset as narrated by Secretary R. James Nicholson to the press. According to him, no name of the employee took part in the intrusion. There was no time for an employee to…
Risks and consequences facing audit practices when acquiring audit engagements Audit cost and audit fees In the past couple of years, audit costs have risen considerably. These factors are due, for instance, to the drastic increase of the employee wages, occupational health benefits, higher technical expenses as well as the consequence (addressed in the earlier chapter) of evolving auditing methodologies and new accounting rules. Kana claims it encourages auditors to conduct additional work without payment, which would impact the company’s ability to attract those customers in the longer run. But audit costs were so radically condensed by influences like bidding and market competitiveness that businesses were required to think of behaviours of minimizing the period consumed or employed on audits. Effectiveness is one thing. Auditors have been under strain to incorporate the job costs into their fees. Many firms engaged in the ongoing strong-profile accounting irregularities had their papers produced by companies which were easily checked by peers. Staffing, training and transformation Substantial shortages of trainee and trained workers are present in audit firms in South Africa like their counterparts…
Data transmission Data transmission involves two important processes that are critical to the credibility of the data. The first phase is raw data capturing, which can be done manually through keying-in or by an automated procedure using a digital device. Manual entries or digital approach is prone to errors. IoT methods include barcodes, magnetic stripes, OCR, ICR, QR codes, and OMR (Carnaz & Nogueira, 2019). Storage IoT facilitated a big data approach for personal and institutional data management. Big data has been a significant area of concern due to its vulnerability to cybercrime and data capturing errors associated with the technology. Also, the issue of data security and privacy has been widely argued for and against by different stakeholders (Carnaz & Nogueira, 2019). The objective of the project is to collect secondary and primary data to evaluate the significance of IoT and Cloud Security issues to the credibility and quality of healthcare data (Analytic Exchange Program, 2019). Duplication and Account Accounting The issue of security checks like passwords and account access protocols on hardware can and facilitate duplication (JCCCVideo, 2016).…
Dealer’s Guide to choosing the right car photography vendor Car dealerships are adopting digital marketing faster than initially predicted. But why are auto sales still sluggish? A 2016 study by Think With Google showed that car buyers make 900 plus digital interactions before making any car buying decision. It’s possible then that most digital marketing approaches fail to address the full customer journey. A complete approach to digital marketing is the litmus test for car photography vendors. Superior quality photos New cars may come with exquisite representation from the manufacturer. Used cars, on the other hand, put the responsibility on the dealer to find out what works and what aspects to highlight. The best photography dealer has mastered the art of car photography and the psychology of a car buyer. Like all other customers car buyers have stories going on their minds when they inspect your models. They have questions, wishes, emotions and rationales for what they want in their new car. A photography vendor must understand how to tell captivating stories with their cameras, and showcase dealer inventory in…
Biometric DB#1 Iris recognition Iris biometric authentication is one of the most precise and accurate authentication systems, and this is the reason why it is mostly used in sensitive sectors where there are high risks of security concerns. Iris technology relies on the uniquely colored rings surrounding the eye’s pupil. Made from flexible connective tissues, the iris has about 266 unique characteristics that make it rich in biometric data. Iris technology uses almost 173 of these unique characteristics, and they remain stable throughout an individual’s lifetime expect when injured. Iris recognition may be used in both identification and recognition systems. In recognition systems, the use of a small and high-quality camera to capture white and black high-resolution images of the iris (Vacca, 2007). As a result, the system can then define the iris’s boundaries, establish a coordination system, and determine zones for analysis in the coordination system. Application of iris recognition systems in criminal justice Since the iris patterns are complex and impossible to interfere with, it has been used in the criminal justice system for the identification of criminals.…

Another way to handle the issue of cybersecurity is through coordination, where the model should ensure all the entities within an organization performs the indicated tasks accordingly. Within different state levels, there are various entities which need to work together to ensure adequate response to cyber incidents. There exist a…
Back propagation Overview Backpropagation (or Back error propagation) in machine learning practices is a widely use supervised algorithm. It is used for deep learning practices and has applications in artificial neural networks. Developers also use backpropagation for supervised learning processes, which form a significant part of the artificial intelligence systems and their functions. As compared to other algorithms, backpropagation is relatively easier to implement. History Scientists Williams, Hinton, and Rumelhart came up with the idea of backpropagation and its applications in neural networks back in 1986. The published paper, which was written by them, covered the topic, and gave it worldwide recognition. The basis of backpropagation came from the concept of control theory, which was developed separately by Henry Kelley in 1960, and Arthur Bryan in 1961, with the use of dynamic principle as the fundamental programming. Backpropagation was derived by scientists and was designed to be compatible enough to run on computers in 1970 by Finnish mathematician Seppo Linnainmaa. In the 2010s, backpropagation became further useful as it found its applications in speech recognition software, machine vision, and others.…
