Program Plan Intro

System vulnerability:

  • When huge data amounts are been kept in electronic form, it becomes susceptible to many threats.
  • The information systems in many locations are been interconnected through communication networks.
  • The unauthorized access can occur at many access points in network and is not limited to single location.
  • The data flowing over networks could be accessed; valuable information could be stolen while transmission or data could be altered without authorization.
  • The denial-of-service attacks are launched by intruders to disrupt website operations.
  • Internets are vulnerable than internal networks as it is open to everyone.

Explanation of Solution

Application Controls:

  • Application controls denote specific controls that are exclusive to each application.
  • It includes both manual as well as automated procedures.
  • It ensures that authorized data is been processed by application.
  • The types include:
    • o Input controls:
      • It checks data for correctness as well as completeness while they go in system...

Explanation of Solution

Risk assessment function:

  • A risk assessment would determine risk level to firm if an explicit activity is not controlled properly.
  • The information assets value, vulnerability point, likely problem frequency and damage potential can be determined by business managers.
  • Controls could be added or adjusted to focus on greater risk areas.
  • Security risk analysis would involve determination of what is needed to be protected and the manner to protect.
  • It denotes an examining process for risks of firm and ranking for those risks by severity level.
  • The cost effective decisions are been involved in process...

Explanation of Solution

Security policy, Acceptable use policy and Identity management:

  • A security policy denotes ranking of information risks, identification of acceptable goals of security as well as identification of mechanism to achieve goals.
    • o It drives policies that determine acceptable information resource usage of firm.
    • o It determines access details of company’s information assets.
  • An acceptable use policy denotes acceptable uses of resources of firm and equipment for computing.
    • o It includes desktop, laptop, wireless devices, Internet and telephones.
    • o It clarifies privacy, responsibility of user as well as personal usage for company equipment policies...

Explanation of Solution

Information systems auditing promotes control and security:

  • Information system auditing determines effectiveness of information system security as well as control.
  • An MIS audit would identify all control...

Change the following code so that there is always at least one way to get from the left corner to the top right, but the labyrinth is still randomized. The player starts at the bottom left corner of the labyrinth. He has to get to the top right corner of the labyrinth as fast he can, avoiding a meeting with the evil dragon. Take care that the player and the dragon cannot start off on walls. Also the dragon starts off from a randomly chosen position   public class Labyrinth {    private final int size;    private final Cell[][] grid;     public Labyrinth(int size) {        this.size = size;        this.grid = new Cell[size][size];        generateLabyrinth();    }     private void generateLabyrinth() {        Random rand = new Random();        for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {            for (int j = 0; j < size; j++) {                // Randomly create walls and paths                grid[i][j] = new Cell(rand.nextBoolean());            }        }        // Ensure start and end are…
Change the following code so that it checks the following 3 conditions: 1. there is no space between each cells (imgs) 2. even if it is resized, the components wouldn't disappear 3. The GameGUI JPanel takes all the JFrame space, so that there shouldn't be extra space appearing in the frame other than the game.   Main():         Labyrinth labyrinth = new Labyrinth(10);         Player player = new Player(9, 0);        Dragon dragon = new Dragon(9, 9);         JFrame frame = new JFrame("Labyrinth Game");        GameGUI gui = new GameGUI(labyrinth, player, dragon);         frame.add(gui);        frame.setSize(600, 600);        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);        frame.setVisible(true);   public class GameGUI extends JPanel {    private final Labyrinth labyrinth;    private final Player player;    private final Dragon dragon; //labyrinth, player, dragon are just public classes     private final ImageIcon playerIcon = new ImageIcon("data/images/player.png");…
