However, in some cases, users adopt more computing resources that supersize their financial capabilities. Organizations employ numerous servers in their data centers to facilitate processing, networking, and storage needs. The application of numerous servers can sometimes exceed organizational business requirements. Some of the servers applied are not exploited to their full capacity. This situation is known as servers sprawl. The server sprawl pushes the organization to spend more money running the servers, paying their energy and cooling costs, and getting inequivalent performance from the servers in return. Also, there are increased chances of security vulnerabilities when using a low server consolidation ratio. The cost of installing security infrastructure for many servers is stiff, making organizations choose to install alternative cheaper security measures instead of using few high-performance servers with superior security infrastructure.

An organization can also apply disposition where it deletes or archives the invalid information. There are three states of data: data at rest, data in motion, and data in use. Data at rest entails data that is not accessed and stored on a logical medium (Rustad & Koenig, 2019). The protection measure for this state of information is the use of encryption, for instance, full disk encryption, which allows that if the laptop is lost, the data contained cannot be accessed by mounting the hard disk or device on another machine. The second state of data is data in motion. This is the data that travels through any private or public communication channel, such as email. To protect data in motion, the following measure is applied. Email encryptions manage file transfer and data leak prevention. The third state is the data in use which is the data that is opened by one or more applications for its assessment by users.

Attached is the case study

Read problem H.57 Internal Control Considerations in End-User Computing Environments on page 920 of the textbook.

Required:

Assume that you are participating in the audit of Chicago Appliance Company and that the background information was obtained during the planning phase of the engagement. You have been asked to (a) consider the potential internal control weaknesses that exist in this end-user application and (b) assess how those internal control weaknesses could alter the audit plan for the current year. Be sure to write your information so that Chicago Appliance Management can fully understand.

Answer preview

In conclusion, the Chicago Appliance management needs to know that insufficient control measures may prevent the organization from performing a successful auditing plan. As much as the organization has invested in the end-user applications to enhance operations, this may lead to substantial financial losses. According to Goyal (2011), insider breaches, human error during data entry, and inadequate training of the workforce on how to implement the new applications are significant consequences. Therefore, the organization should train the employees on proper usage of the application to increase efficiency and reduce data breaches. Further, establishing policies on access permits and improving the system’s security would help reduce the huge losses that the company would experience.

The article by Gottschalk (2019) was quite informative, especially when it comes to the nature of the prosecution of cybercrimes. One of the critical features of the article was Gottschalk’s (2019) recognition of the transnational element of cybercrimes, which serves as a hindrance to the successful prosecution of these crimes. Due to the internet, individuals located in distant places can groom a child located in an area situated thousands and thousands of miles away from them. When this happens, finding the perpetrator, gathering pertinent evidence, arresting them, and prosecuting them, will be challenging due to the perpetrators or victim’s location in a foreign jurisdiction. Despite this, Gottschalk (2019) proposes the best solution to overcome this prosecutorial hurdle is for law enforcement agencies, governments, and intelligence agencies around the globe to collaborate. This collaboration will enhance the identification of perpetrators, collection of evidence, and, if need be, extradition of a perpetrator to the victim’s location for prosecution and sentencing. The net effect of this will be that punishments will be severe on perpetrators and accessible even when the perpetrator and victim are in different locations.

Role-Based Access Control in Microsoft Azure

/in /by

I have been tasked with implementing an access control solution based upon users’ roles. Write a 2–4 page paper on how you would go about doing this assuming that the cloud environment is either Microsoft Azure or Amazon Web Services (AWS) (pick only one). The paper should include details on the following RBAC/access control features:

Roles, Secure remote access, Policies, Encryption, Federation/Single Sign-on (SSO), Logging and monitoring, Resource permissions.

Requirements: 2 pages

Answer preview

It is necessary to ensure that the different roles are assigned their specific security permissions for accessibility. The database will consider the three levels of permissions, including; database queries, app screens and interfaces, and individual concepts. For example, for logging in to access a respective database, the user will be exposed to customized queries, guiding them to their specific roles in the database (Ferraiolo e al.,2003). On the same note, monitoring is enhanced through the permissions act as regulations determining who can access certain information. The regulation ensures that only authorized persons can access sensitive information. For instance, in Azure RBAC, authorized and controlled access to information is achieved by secure remote access, such as the single sign-

1. The term computer crime encompasses a very broad range of criminal acts. Explain in detail categories of computer crime. Use examples to support your explanations

Requirements: 1 page in APA format

Answer preview

The best solution to overcome this challenge is to always prepare in advance and seek the guidance of the jury or the attorney on areas to address. This will ensure that the expert witness does not lose his or her credibility in the courtroom and with the jury, who depend on his knowledge, expertise, and experience. The second professional challenge is that the expert witnesses might provide the attorney with complex information that can be confusing to the attorney during a case. This is because the expert witnesses are experts in their field of forensic science, which is a different field from that of the attorney. The solution is to explain complex issues in the most simple but relevant manner that the jury or attorneys can understand.
