Hello all,
In looking at a FBI post on the perspective of cyber crime, there appears to be a common point in both the amount of knowledge and expertise needed to investigate computer crimes and the translation into jargon commonly used by those within the justice system. I’m almost certain that we have had a talking point similar to this in a previous discussion, though this continues to hold true into week 8. At this point it appears that we continue to beat a dead horse. We need people within the justice system that are much more prepared to handle computer crimes. This can only happen by putting people in place that are experts in the field. While it is simple to say that those are are put in place must have no agenda, it would assist. It would appear that having outsourced training would be the easiest thing to do when training those from a local level to higher echelons. In the military there are often classes provided by other government agencies that are often mandatory depending on the job.
I always believe that being proactive is the best way forward, so what are the proactive steps can we take to prepare? In Las Vegas, there is a huge Black Hat convention where many individuals come to learn what is new in technology and techniques. I believe it would be useful to take individuals from within the sector to teach at the different levels. While Black Hat is known as a hacking convention, the practices used to commit computer crimes follow the same blueprints. Good luck to you all with the rest of your studies!
Very Respectfully,
Anthony

You will be required to write one term paper this semester. The specifications are as follows:
You must write a 5-8 page term paper on a topic of your choice related to cybercrime (ALL TOPICS MUST BE APPROVED). Some examples would include, how to avoid being a victim of cybercrime, the laws surrounding cybercrime, a recent incident related to cybercrime or pick an individual cybercrime and discuss the impact this crime has on society. Please write the term paper in a Word document and then upload it for grading.
Your term paper outline is due at the end of Week 2.
Your term paper is due at the end of Week 8.
In addition to the 5-8 pages of the paper itself, you must include a title page and a reference page.
Your title page must include the title of your paper, the date, the name of the course, your name, and your instructor’s name.
Your reference page must be written in APA citation style, Arial or Time New Roman styles, 12-point font.
Page margins Top, Bottom, Left Side, and Right Side = 1 inch, with reasonable accommodation being made for special situations.
Your paper must be in your own words, representing original work. Paraphrases of others’ work must include attributions to the authors. Limit quotations to an average of no more than 3-5 lines, and use quotations sparingly. It is always better to write the information in your own words than to directly quote.
When submitting the paper, it will automatically run through Turnitin for review. PAPERS WITH AN ORIGINALITY REPORT FROM TURNITIN OVER 15% OR OVER 2% FROM A SINGLE SOURCE WILL RESULT IN A ZERO GRADE.
PER THE STUDENT HANDBOOK, YOU CANNOT SUBMIT A PAPER THAT HAS BEEN SUBMITTED IN ANOTHER COURSE.

Deploying, placing, and implementing a Virtual Private Network (VPN) involves several considerations and potential challenges. Here are key issues to be mindful of:
Security Concerns:Encryption Strength: Choosing the appropriate encryption algorithm and key length is crucial for maintaining the security of data transmitted over the VPN.
Authentication: Implementing strong authentication mechanisms, such as two-factor authentication, to ensure only authorized users can access the VPN.
Network Architecture:Topology: Determining the appropriate VPN topology (e.g., site-to-site, remote access, or hybrid) based on the organizational structure and communication requirements.
Routing: Configuring routing protocols and addressing schemes to enable seamless communication between VPN endpoints.
Scalability:User Growth: Planning for scalability to accommodate an increasing number of users or devices connecting to the VPN.
Traffic Growth: Ensuring the VPN infrastructure can handle growing amounts of data traffic without degradation in performance.
Compatibility and Interoperability:Device Compatibility: Ensuring that VPN endpoints, whether hardware or software-based, are compatible with the devices and operating systems used by the organization’s users.
Protocol Compatibility: Choosing VPN protocols that are supported by a wide range of devices and platforms to ensure interoperability.
Performance:Latency: Minimizing latency to ensure that the VPN connection does not introduce significant delays in data transmission.
Bandwidth: Ensuring sufficient bandwidth to handle the expected volume of traffic and prevent bottlenecks.
Regulatory Compliance:Data Protection Laws: Adhering to data protection and privacy regulations in different regions, ensuring that the VPN implementation complies with local laws and industry standards.
Client Configuration and Management:User Training: Providing adequate training to users on how to configure and use the VPN client software securely.
Client Updates: Managing updates and patches for VPN client software to address security vulnerabilities and improve performance.
Monitoring and Logging:Logging Practices: Establishing effective logging practices to monitor VPN traffic, detect anomalies, and facilitate troubleshooting.
Alerting: Implementing alerting mechanisms to notify administrators of potential security incidents or operational issues.
Redundancy and High Availability:Failover Mechanisms: Implementing redundancy and failover mechanisms to ensure continuous VPN availability in case of hardware failures or other disruptions.
Load Balancing: Distributing VPN traffic across multiple servers to prevent overloading and improve performance.
Policy Enforcement:Access Control: Defining and enforcing access control policies to restrict VPN access based on user roles and responsibilities.
Compliance Policies: Ensuring that the VPN implementation complies with organizational security policies and standards.
Successful deployment and implementation of a VPN require careful planning, ongoing monitoring, and adaptation to evolving security threats and organizational needs. Regular updates and reviews of the VPN infrastructure are essential to maintain a secure and efficient remote connectivity solution.
