I just have a set of questions for an Information and Security course that I attached.
This is a relatively straightforward set of questions that you can answer in a single
paragraph each related to material from the second half of this course. Please
keep each answer to 250 words.
1. Why were shared hosting companies so unprepared to deal with the
SPECTRE and Meltdown security concerns and what could they do
moving forward to be prepared for a similar concern in the future?
2. Apple is widely rumored to be on the cusp of introducing a line of
Macs using their own ARM-based line of CPUs and GPUS. What are
the security implications for Apple customers seeking to make this
transition?
3. How likely is it that a data breach similar to the Equifax data breach
will happen in the next 20 years? What are the implications of this for
companies and legislators?
4. From the perspective of an information security specialist at a Fortune
500 company, who should win the upcoming Supreme Court case
related to the CFAA and why?
5. Compare and contrast the security demands of in-house database
management versus cloud-based storage solutions like Azure and
Amazon S3.
6. Which movie produced in the last 50 years would you suggest is the
most accurate depiction of real world security and privacy concerns
and why?
