Explain your answer.b.Suppose that SLS has implemented the policy prohibiting use of personal USB drives at work. Also, suppose that Davey Martinez brought in the USB drive he had used to store last month’s accounting worksheet.

What appeals could he use to sway opinions toward improved business continuity planning?Ethical Decision MakingThe policies that organizations put in place are similar to laws, in that they are directives for how to act properly. Like laws, policies should be impartial and fair, and are often founded on ethical and moral belief systems of the people who create them.In some cases, especially when organizations expand into foreign countries, they experience a form of culture shock when the laws of their new host country conflict with their internal policies.a.Suppose that SLS has expanded its operations in France. Setting aside any legal requirements that SLS make its policies conform to French law, does SLS have an ethical imperative to modify its policies to better meet the needs of its stakeholders in the new country?b.Suppose SLS has altered its policies for all operations in France and that the changes are much more favorable to employees—such as a requirement to provide child and elder-care services at no cost to the employee. Is SLS under any ethical burden to offer the same benefit to employees in its original country?Assignment: Module 5 Think Critically QuizAfter reading the case presented in the module, write a short response to the following discussion questions and ethical decision making scenario.Discussion Questionsa.Did Charlie effectively organize the work before the meeting? Why or why not? Make a list of important issues you think should be covered by the work plan. For each issue, provide a short explanation.b.Will the company get useful information from the team it has assembled? Why or why not?c.Why might some attendees resist the goals of the meeting? Does it seem that each person invited was briefed on the importance of the event and the issues behind it?Ethical Decision MakingSuppose Amy Windahl left the kickoff meeting with a list of over 200 assets that needed to be evaluated. When she looked at the amount of effort needed to finish assessing the asset values and their risk evaluations, she decided to “fudge” the numbers so that she could attend a concert and then spend the weekend with her friends. In the hour just before the meeting in which the data was due, she made up some values without much consideration beyond filling in the blanks. Is Amy’s approach to her assignment ethical?After the kickoff meeting, suppose Charlie had said, “Amy, the assets in your department are not that big of a deal for the company, but everyone on the team has to submit something. Just put anything on the forms so we can check you off the list, and then you will get the bonus being paid to all team members. You can buy me lunch for the favor.”a.Is Amy now ethically justified in falsifying her data?b.Has Charlie acted ethically by establishing an expected payback for this arrangement?Assignment: Module 6 Think Critically QuizAfter reading the case presented in the module, write a short response to the following discussion questions and ethical decision making scenario.Discussion Questionsa.What questions do you think Kelvin should have included on his slide to start the discussion?b.If the questions were broken down into two categories, they would be cost versus maintaining high security while keeping flexibility. Which is more important for SLS?Ethical Decision Makinga.Suppose that Ms. Hamir stacked the deck with her design proposal. In other words, she purposefully under-designed the less expensive solution and produced a cost estimate for the higher-end version that she knew would come in over budget if it were chosen. She also knew that SLS had a tendency to hire design consultants to do build projects. Is it unethical to produce a consulting report that steers a client toward a specific outcome?b.Suppose instead that Ms. Hamir had prepared a report that truthfully recommended the more expensive option as the better choice for SLS in her best professional opinion. Further suppose that SLS management decided on the less expensive option solely to reduce costs without regard to the project’s security outcomes. Would she be ethically sound to urge reconsideration of such a decision?Assignment: Module 7 Think Critically QuizAfter reading the case presented in the module, write a short response to the following discussion questions and ethical decision making scenario.Discussion Questionsa.Do you think Miller is out of options as he pursues his vendetta? If you think he could take additional actions in his effort to damage the SLS network, what are they?b.Suppose a system administrator at SLS read the details of this case. What steps should he or she take to improve the company’s information security program?c.Consider Miller’s hacking attempt in light of the intrusion kill chain described earlier and shown in Figure 7-1. At which phase in the kill chain has SLS countered his vendetta?Ethical Decision MakingIt seems obvious that Miller is breaking at least a few laws in his attempt at revenge. Suppose that when his scanning efforts had been detected, SLS not only added his IP address to the list of sites banned from connecting to the SLS network, the system also triggered a response to seek out his computer and delete key files on it to disable his operating system.a.Would such an action by SLS be ethical? Do you think that action would be legal?b.Suppose instead that Miller had written a routine to constantly change his assigned IP address to other addresses used by his ISP. If the SLS intrusion system determined what Miller was doing and then added the entire range of ISP addresses to the banned list, thus stopping any user of the ISP from connecting to the SLS network, would SLS’s action be ethical?c.What if SLS were part of an industry consortium that shared IP addresses flagged by its IDPS, and all companies in the group blocked all of the ISP’s users for 10 minutes? These users would be blocked from accessing perhaps hundreds of company networks. Would that be an ethical response by members of the consortium? What if these users were blocked for 24 hours?Assignment: Module 8 Think Critically QuizAfter reading the case presented in the module, write a short response to the following discussion questions and ethical decision making scenario.Discussion Questionsa.Was Charlie exaggerating when he gave Peter an estimate for the time required to crack the encryption key using a brute force attack?b.Are there any tools that someone like Peter could use safely, other than a PKI-based system that implements key recovery, to avoid losing his passphrase?Ethical Decision MakingSuppose Charlie had installed key logger software on all company computer systems and had made a copy of Peter’s encryption key. Suppose that Charlie had this done without policy authority and without anyone’s knowledge, including Peter’s.a.Would the use of such a tool be an ethical violation on Charlie’s part? Is it illegal?b.Suppose that Charlie had implemented the key logger with the knowledge and approval of senior company executives, and that every employee had signed a release that acknowledged the company can record all information entered on company systems. Two days after Peter’s call, Charlie calls back to give Peter his key: “We got lucky and cracked it early.” Charlie says this to preserve Peter’s illusion of privacy. Is such a “little white lie” an ethical action on Charlie’s part?Assignment: Darknet Essay Submittal1.

What would you have done in her situation?Ethical Decision MakingSuppose that the blond man in the scenario was someone Amy knew socially. Suppose she also knew he had no relationship to the company and no business being in the building. If Amy chose not to make a report about the event, would she be violating her ethical position?Assignment: ITsecurity Essay Submittal1.

At his next meeting with Charlie, he provides a rank-ordered list of these controls with projected losses over the next 10 years for each if it is not completed. Also, he has estimated the 10-year cost for developing, implementing, and operating each control. Kelvin has identifie three controls as being the most advantageous for the organization in his opinion. As he prepared the slides for the meeting, he “adjusted” most projected losses upward to the top end of the range estimate given by the consultant who prepared the data. For the projected costs of his preferred controls, he chose to use the lowest end of the range provided by the consultant.a.Do you think Kelvin has had an ethical lapse by cherry-picking the data for his presentation?b.Suppose that instead of choosing data from the range provided by the consultant, Kelvin simply made up better numbers for his favorite initiatives. Is this an ethical lapse?c.Suppose Kelvin has a close friend who works for a firm that makes and sells software for a specific control objective on the list. When Kelvin prioritized the list of his preferences, he made sure that specific control was at the top of the list. Kelvin planned to provide his friend with internal design specifications and the assessment criteria to be used for vendor selection for the initiative. Has Kelvin committed an ethical lapse?Assignment: Uncommon Sense Security Essay Submittal1.
