Computer Forensics

1. Late one night, a system administrator troubleshoots a network problem. He/she captures several minutes’ worth of network traffic to review with the protocol analyzer. While conducting the review, she notices some odd traffic. A user’s desktop has sent a well-formed packet to an obscure port on an unfamiliar IP address outside the company’s firewall. Shortly thereafter, one of the company’s research and development database servers transmits a packet that does not conform to any of the formats the company uses to the same IP address. Upon investigation, the administrator finds out that the IP address is associated with one of their competitors. Upon calling his/her supervisor, they are told to “just block the port”, however there is much more that can be done. Explain how you would have handled the situation.

2. You believe that your laptop has been used to make purchases of illegal drugs via the dark web. You live with 2 roommates and often leave your laptop lying around the apartment. What would you do– how would you use Digital Forensics to gather more information?

3.A customer at a bank in Chicago deposits a check. The bank video camera captures an image of the customer entering the bank branch and matches it against its database of customers. The image is time and date stamped. Later that day, the customer’s savings account is accessed via the Internet banking from an IP address in Italy. During a routine correlation of data, the apparent discrepancy is detected by the bank’s forensics system. How would you, as a computer forensics specialist, go about investigating the incident?

4.An accounting firm was conducting an audit of a publicly owned company when they came upon some accounting irregularities. The irregularities were serious enough to potentially necessitate a re-stating of earnings. Considering the many scandals currently blighting the corporate sector, the accounting firm wishes to confirm their findings before sounding any public alarms. The have hired you to conduct a large-scale data mining to get to the bottom of the irregularities. How would you, and your team, go about conducting a forensics data mining operation?

5. When the CEO of a major company opened his email one morning, he was shocked to see that overseas hackers were sending him confidential files from his own desktop hard drive. The hacker demanded hundreds of thousands of dollars as a “consulting fee,” and threatened to disclose the information and the weaknesses in the company’s security if the money (ransom) wan not paid. A professional computer forensics expert was hired to work with the client’s networking team, and they were able to preserve the evidence of the attack and assist in determining how the attack occurred. How do you think they went about doing that?

social Marketing, Management, and Organizational Behavior

Transparent and accountable governance and strong leadership are the cornerstones of successful public health operations and delivery of public health services.

Respond to the following questions in relation to governance and leadership:

What are the differences between governance and leadership?
What systems or processes should public health agencies utilize to ensure communication and accountability between their governing board and leaders? Justify your answers.

According to Kotter (2001), ” . . . leadership and management are two distinctive and complementary systems of action. Each has its own function and characteristic activities. Both are necessary for success in an increasingly complex and volatile business environment.”

Respond to the following questions in relation to management and leadership:

What are the differences between leadership and management?
Why do you think Kotter described leadership and management as complementary systems of action?

In recent years, the optimal management structure has shifted from a narrow span of control to a broad or wide span of control. Earlier, three to seven individuals were reporting to the same manager (narrow span), whereas today, it is common to have twenty or more staff members reporting to the same person (broad span), as stated in the course textbook.

Based on the readings for this week, the South University Online Library, and the Internet, respond to the following discussion points:

Identify at least one pro and one con for each span of control described above.
State, with reasons, which of the two structures you would recommend.

Part 2

Several decades ago, Kotler and Zaltman (1971) first used the term “social marketing” to describe the application of marketing theory to solve social- and health-related issues. Since then, social marketing has grown in popularity and usage within the public health community, including within national agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and state and local health departments. Some of the factors responsible for the success of national social marketing campaigns are the efficient use of financial resources to develop marketing strategies, consistent messages across geographic boundaries, and uniform evaluation measures.

Respond to the following discussion points in relation to social marketing campaigns:

What challenges might you expect when adapting a national social marketing campaign in your local community?
Recommend ways in which your local health department may address these challenges.

Needs Assessment

Community health assessments are used by health planners to identify, and prioritize health problems within a given community. To prioritize health programs and their development, a needs assessment is used. There are four types of needs that should be considered in a needs assessment. Although there is no single way to conduct a needs assessment, the basic steps to conducting a needs assessment can be identified.

Using the South University Online Library or the Internet, research about needs assessments and the types of health needs in your community. Based on your research, create a 2- to 3-page Microsoft Word document that:

Describes the four types of needs and compares them. Explains the interaction of the four types and the role of each type of need in the community assessment process.
Selects one of the four needs and provides an example of how this need can be applied to a health issue in your community. Describes the potential pitfalls of focusing a needs assessment on a single need. Provides examples to support your assertions.
Identifies and describes the basic steps of conducting a needs assessment and also explains the importance of each.
Describes any additional steps that should be considered in the assessment process.
