Detection Critical Thinkings Samples For Students

Intrusion Detection Systems

Different techniques abound for monitoring computer networks especially within the context of providing security for the network. Intrusion detection is one of such techniques used for security management of computers by analyzing and gathering information from the different areas of a computer network with the aim of identifying possible breaches in the security of the network (Allen et al., 2000).
A system put in place to implement any of these techniques is referred to as an intrusion detection system. For the computer network of an organization, the source of breaches to the network can be from within the organization ...

SOURCES OF EVIDENCE IN DIGITAL FORENSICS INVESTIGATION

ABSTRACT
Today’s society is becoming, increasingly, interconnected through the use of networking technologies and the proliferation of internet. As such, computer intrusions and security incidence are on the increase. Organizations and companies find the use of internet unavoidable in order to advance their operations and efficiency. The ability to handle computer security concerns resulting from seamless connectivity proves to be a major challenge. Other insecurity concerns resulting from insider file alteration and malware installations are equally harmful and should be treated with utmost considerations. As a result, the field of digital forensic investigation has risen to help in unearthing ...

Introduction and overview

According to conventional wisdom, the more the diagnosis, and especially early diagnosis, the better health and medical care treatment and management one is likely to receive, and in return the less the mortality rates. Apparently, this is not the case, according to one Dr. Gilbert Welch et al, in his book, ‘over- diagnosed making people sick in the pursuit of health’ who believes that more and more diagnosis leads to excessive treatment and that can actually have a negative impact on the patient’s health. This is because it makes people who are healthy feel less healthy and this can ...

According to Schoenfield, Stewart & Ransome (2015), information system threats are a major problem facing IT systems globally because of the growth in the use and development of computer networks aimed towards supporting information systems. Information systems are finding use in industries that require to keep their data confidential and away from unauthorized access such as banks, production companies, manufacturers, databases with private information, hospitals, government systems just to mention a few. It is therefore critical to identify threats that may face a system and adopt mitigation strategies aimed towards reducing the impact of such threats when they occur or ...

Arguably, from the research findings, it is evident that the FACS approach is amenable to alteration for use with all other species of primates; this method allows one to compare and contrast the facial repertoires among many species with distinct characteristics. Developing FACS for chimpanzees has made it easy for us to understand how and why the human facial movements vary from that of the chimpanzees. The apparent difference can be deduced from the varying facial morphology, underlying musculature, and the interface between the two. From the general repertoire, nine commonly seen facial actions have successfully been described and ...

The United States government with the aim of enhancing the government security against both domestic and foreign terrorist activities enacted the USA PATRIOT Act. The provisions of the Act were to ensure the government put in place necessary investigatory equipment that would help the government to detect and neutralize these activities before it happens (Congress, 2002). However, the Act is modifiable to improve its effectiveness in counteracting terrorism.
Most importantly, the law should categorize the necessary tools for investigation set aside. In particular, this is because terrorism activities of the 21st century and beyond use high-level technology and therefore ...

What public- and private-sector resources could be used to respond to the threat?

First of all, it is essential to be aware of the fact that the act of chemical or biological terrorism may range from the food product contamination to the aerosolized anthrax spores’ dissemination. That is why, it is almost impossible to make the forecasts regarding the time of occurrence of particular terroristic act as well as the place and method, used for this purpose. At the same time, it is obvious that the public- and private-sector should not ignore the probability of such forms of terrorism. This statement may be supported by increased rates of the frequency of such ...

Assess the Security, technology, management and control functions within correctional environments.

Recently, the application of technology in correctional facilities has grown immensely as it assists to make prisons and jails safer. For instance, the millimetre wave imaging system has been used applied to scan visitors at these facilities. The system has proved effective because of its ability to look through an attire and sense weapons, non-metallic objects, and communication gadgets like mobile phones. The limitation of this technology is that it present the images of the body as they are making most people term it unacceptable.
Moreover, most correctional facilities have implemented metal detection systems to scan both visitors and ...

The innovations that the Hill Physicians Medical Group (HPMG) employees can be replicated in 2014 and beyond. The purpose of HPMG’s innovation agenda is to improve and transform healthcare delivery through an affiliated, but not fully integrated healthcare group. The innovations that HPMG employed in 2009 can be replicated in 2014 because of some reasons. First, the technology still exists in 2014 in the same, if not improved, status. For example, HPMG uses health information technology approaches to maintain electronic medical records and integrate them into the daily medical practice of the physicians (Emswiler & Nichols, 2009). The physicians ...

Implications of inadequate patient histories on the radiological examinations

Implications of inadequate patient histories on the radiological examinations

Introduction

Radiology is a medical specialty that uses imaging techniques for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Commonly used radiological techniques include X-ray radiography, ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A number of factors influence the diagnosis made by radiological techniques. Some of these factors include type of the disease, type of the technique used, parameters of the instrument used, interpersonal differences between the radiologists and clinical history of the patient.
The availability or non-availability of the clinical history affects the diagnosis of radiological ...

Review of Organization’s Infrastructure
Identification of Vulnerabilities
Since last era, organizational infrastructures did not need to build or invest much on security issues. But now, larger infrastructures and networks are being deployed which has also increased the needs of security. As compare to the closed networks, LANs and WANs face far more security threats. It is due to the reason that closed networks do not allow the public networks to access their personal network but is only open to known sites and parties. However, LANs and WANs are more open and so more intermediary networks and ...

Introduction

Nurses have a noble duty to deliver high quality nursing care to their patients with devotion and integrity. Like all human beings, nurses face various sexual health issues. To optimize their efficiency at the workplace, it is imperative that hospital managements create appropriate self-care wellness programs aimed at enhancing the nurses’ sexual health. Self-care programs for nurses can go a long way in promoting the nursing practitioners’ health and performance in the hospital. This paper proposes and justifies a short term, self-care wellness program on sexual health for nurses with in a hospital setting, and suggests ways of implementing the proposed program.
