Since October 2004, 136 Customs and Border Protection employees have been indicted on or convicted of corruption-related charges." (Becker, p
That surpasses the total for all of last year, when 136,343 were removed." (Sols, p
Reinforcement in this case is the pleasant or the unpleasant experience which has the most effect during or after the response time. The cognitive perspective In comparison with the behavioral theories of human learning, the cognitive perspective is noted to stress heavily on the role played by information processing in the process of consumer decision making (Allen & Madden 1985)
The cognitive perspective In comparison with the behavioral theories of human learning, the cognitive perspective is noted to stress heavily on the role played by information processing in the process of consumer decision making (Allen & Madden 1985). The cognitive theory which is also known as the information processing theory is noted to be integral to the various hierarchy of effects models which posits that the various consumers of products and services go through a series of stages namely cognitive, effective as well as conative in response to advertising as well as marketing messages (Barry & Howard,1990,p
In order to come up with the best conceptual framework to be used for studying consumer behavior, it is necessary that we start by a thorough consideration of the existing literature in consumer research as well as the various schools of thoughts that have influenced that discipline as noted by Marsden and Littler (1998). The existing paradigms of consumer research are noted to include a set of fundamental assumptions that are taken into account by researchers while engaging in this study (Kuhn, 1962)
Therefore the individual buyer is noted to be in a quest to spend his or her income on the goods that would deliver the most level of utility (satisfaction). This view's antecedents can be traced to the famous works of Adam Smith (1776) (Smith,1776)
It is very common for network intruders to take control of sever machines like this and route their traffic through them in order to make a trace back more difficult. In securing a company, a strong background in network security is essential to ensure business effectiveness and confidentiality (Bradley, 2010)
They can change pretty much anything they like, and it might not be noticed for months. Data destruction is when an attacker goes in and starts deleting things (Curtin, 1997)
As long as you have a connection to the outside world, an attacker has access to you. In order to be able to sufficiently protect yourself is to identify and evaluate all possible avenues, as well as having a good security policy implemented (Musich, 2003)
¶ … Security Best Practices: Assessing the Risks Associated with Unauthorized Installation of File-Sharing Software One of the most potent and potentially disruptive threats enterprises face is the use of peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing between various departments and those outside the company, linked via the P2P Service. The devastating impact of having P2P software running on internal workstations, servers and laptops is seen regularly in theft of corporate digital assets, but identity theft of the actual users of these services as well (Bailes, Templeton, 2004)
While departments within companies routinely download these applications and use them for sharing digital assets of imagery, music and applications, it is often at great risk to both the identity of the person doing the downloading the company they are a member of. P2P connections punch a hole in the firewall of a business and make it easy for intruders to gain access to advanced databases and corporate information (Becker, Clement, 2006)
g., passwords, data, file backups, system registry) Candidate Technology Solution How the Technology Solution Works Effectiveness (High, Medium, Low) Very High due to P2P Software being able to capture IP Addresses IP addresses throughout the network are compromised when P2P protocols are used (Becker, Clement, 2006) Intelligent Firewall that traps all inbound and outbound P2P requests Looks for applications with no Directory Services and shuts them down High High due to P2P Networks being accessible from any known IP address outside the company The identity of the user, once an IP address is discovered (Risk Management, 2003) Using IP blocking applications as part of a broader firewall Using proxy server configurators, provides "synthetic" IP addresses to protect actual user and network identity High Medium level security due to password capture and trapping once IP address is known Passwords need to be reset and secondary authentication used for managing the security levels of networks Using secondary and multistep authentication (Hosein, Tsiavos, Whitley, 2003) Forces a refresh of passwords in real-time to the network and also blocks "spoofed" passwords as well Medium - High It is recommended your organization uninstall all P2P software and then completely replace to the operating system level all components one ach system that has had the file sharing software installed
S. government now forbids its use in any government-related organization (Swartz, 2007)
The major implementation of PHP is now in production through the authority of the PHP Group which serves as the de facto standard unit in use for PHP since there are no standard and formal specification. The software is free and gets released under the PHP License MySQL "MySQL is the world's most popular Open Source SQL (Structured Query Language) database management system" (Bloch,)
One inevitable fact however is that once a site is deployed on the internet, it becomes a resource to be accessed by everyone as postulated by Kabir Secure website development is of the utmost importance as the number of websites that provide personalized accounts and utilize cross site information. "When you deploy your application on the Web, it becomes available to everyone" (Kabir 737) In order to fully prescribe a viable solution to be used in tackling the various forms of security threats associated with the use of trending technologies such as PHP and MySQL, it is paramount to understand the mechanisms through which the security threats are orchestrated
The possibility of a hacker gaining access to a machine's source code presents him or her with an opportunity to orchestrate devious actions such as website defacement. An interaction with a websites source code also give a revelation of the site's database design and schema (Wood,2004)
It incorporates both mechanical and natural approaches to organized surveillance. Essentially, mechanical approaches to organized surveillance could in this case include, but they are not limited to, guard and police patrols, surveillance cameras, and lighting (Atlas, 2007)
This is primarily because the rapid technological advancements seem to enhance the likelihood of unethical use of computer devices and information systems. As these advancements continue to occur, it is expected that the misuse and abuse of these system will continue in the future (Masrom et
These information systems tend to differ in size and complexity depending on the nature of the business and the specific goals to be accomplished. The use of customer relationship management information system tends to generate concerns and issues regarding invasion of privacy because it helps in drawing conclusions about the behavior of a customer (O'Brien & Marakas, 2006, p
Ethics in Selling the Information In light of rapid technology advancements and increased use of technology in business processes, privacy has emerged as one of the major issues and topics in information security. Many organizations and businesses gather, swap, and sell personal information, which has resulted in the increased search for suitable and effective ways to protect privacy (Whitman & Mattord, 2011, p
