2.Briefly define and discuss cyber terrorism and cyber warfare. Be sure to include the length of time that these tools have been used, describe some defensive and offensive capabilites.

A company has a moral obligation to protect its information. One of my projects during the completion of my MIS consisted of conducting an external security test of the company that I worked for. The company MIS director gave formal approval for the sweep and received the test plan to include date, time, and extent of the effort. He received the report of the tools and findings. He felt pretty sure that the company was fairly tight and that it had no weaknesses.

Wrong!

I found that sloppy IT practices had resulted in open ports and exploitable entry points.

Regarding experience with actual cyber warfare -

I was working when some of the folks that attended a trade show brought back free USB drives. Those drives fed a virus into one of our networks that spread across the US from coast to coast. It really irritated a bunch of people and no one was allowed to bring USB drives into work for quite a while.

I was also working when the security dongles used for VPN were penetrated. That company had to call them all back and do some serious modifications as part of the repair. The inability to use remote VPN cramped communication for a while.

3.Explain why an organization might want to use filtering software problems that may arise due to using it. How might one correct those weaknesses?

Some years ago I designed a web site as part of a MS school project.

When I asked some of my co-workers to log in and test it they found that the site host had been filtered by our IT!

No one would explain the reason for that filter. We heard in a round about fashion it might have been blocked due to someone using that site to host a porn site.

My site was a prototype for an Online tutoring service but IT said NO USE SITE and no it was.
