requirements are as follows, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Internet Explorer must be installed on the client’s piece of hardware for access. Next, members must have internet access with a connection speed higher than 56kbps, and a browser that supports encryption. While Internet speed is acceptable, for a more effective experience it’s recommended that users increase connection speeds. Finally, you can use a Windows based operating system or a Macintosh based operating system to access Vystar’s…

(OCX) will be a highly secured system that tries to protect the ground control from sophisticated cyber threats and hacking. In order for a threat to get to OCX, it has to pass several security layers including: firewalls/intrusion detection, PKI/Encryption, Secure OS, Cross-Domain Guards and Secure Code (Raytheon, 2016, “Unparalleled protection”). This level of safety means that ground control’s OCX will enable the usage of the new signals (L1C, L2C and L5) to their full potential, thus…

3.3 DEMERITS Cost comes first in considering the demerits of optical fiber networks. Despite of the fact that the cost for fiber is dropping by 60% per year and is beneficial in long run, its initial installation cost is still high and is not affordable to all vendors. Per unit cost of fiber cable is more than that of copper cable. Secondly, as the technology is still new and improvising, it requires skilled manpower for its installation, operation and maintenance. Further it requires new…

The next factor was the failure of these company’s Boards of Directors as well as executive…

Introduction The Internet of Things (IoT) is a ubiquitous computing revolution that refers to the use of sensors, actuators, and data communications technology built into physical objects—from roadways to pacemakers—that enable those objects to be tracked, coordinated, or controlled across a data network or the Internet. In the past 5 years, there has been 300% increase in connected machine-to-machine devices. A number of closely related concepts include sensor networks, Ubiquitous positioning,…

Many of the health care industries today have codes of ethics that guide the behavior of the professional in the medical field. Ethics refers to standards that provide criteria for what is right or wrong. Ethics is shaped by individuals, society and nations. In the past we have had ethical dilemmas, which is a situation in which a person is faced with a decision to test these morals. These decisions have helped shaped the way informatics is structured in our modern day. As the name implies…

Figure 6 shows Internal Security settings that were not set as high as they might have been to aide in threats that require a human response. Lesson 7: Invest in good technological defenses, but do not under invest in people who will be operating this equipment. Another, related lesson learned here is the need to strive to be excellent, rather than average. This stems from the view that we had taken during many simulation results that we were still doing "pretty good" when looked at in the…
