Zero day attack

Many years ago, much of society may have envisioned a future with flying cars and robots that shared the Earth with humans. While this has yet to occur, technology is leaps and bounds beyond what it was imagined to be at this point. With technological advancement comes a necessity to secure it; and for some, exploit it. Zero day exploits employed for economic or military advantage; cyber crime, cyber terrorism and threats to SCADA systems; meta-data collected and used by the private sector and public sector; and vulnerability assessments for mobile devices in the BYOD environment may seem to have little in common. However, each comes with security issues, policy controls to be implemented, and human factors that influence the recommended policies. With so many aspects requiring security, the challenge is to recognize important issues, implement effective and comprehensive policies, and be mindful of how those policies are affected. 2. Zero Day Exploits Employed For Economic or Military Advantage A zero-day exploit describes an attack that exploits a previously unknown vulnerability before a defense is launched or created (Porter, 2007). Such attacks can be of significant…

espionage and digital attacks that have real world consequences. Harris supports his claims by describing the operations and programs the US engaged in alongside private technology companies based on public knowledge and on interviews conducted with top US officials. The author’s purpose is to inform the audience about the potential dangers of cyberwar and how the government is deeply involved in cyberspace, both defensively and offensively, so that the reader understands the potent risks we…

Cyber Attacks are now becoming more and more sophisticated. Anything we do online can be interrupted and disrupt in seconds by any cyber or internet attacks. Data we keep online is very vulnerable to cyber-attacks out there which are increasing in numbers day by day. Cyber-attacks changed in 2015, when Ukraine experienced the first recorded power outage caused by a cyber-attack. It didn’t last long but it adversely impacted the government, industry and people. (Campbell, 2016). Critical…

Zero Tolerance For Due Process One of the greatest sacrileges on American society comes in the form of the abundance of violent crimes occurring in the nation's learning institutions. Nevertheless, for citizens to treat everyone as they treat their worst residents contradicts American ideals, yet many zero tolerance policies encourage this treatment exactly. Although some people believe they are fair and effective, zero-tolerance policies regarding weapons on school campuses need to be amended…

In the article “Zero Tolerance for Zero Tolerance” by Richard L. Curwin and Allen N. Mednler the authors start by discussing how schools should not use the zero tolerance policy with every student. The Zero tolerance policy was first originally established to help improve safety in schools. This can be done by making sure that all children regardless of their age, race, athletic ability, and or parental influence. The authors explain how the schools used this as an excuse to treat all the…

Absolute zero is the lowest possible temperature, where nothing could be colder and no heat energy remains in a substance. The absolute zero value of an experiment is the temperature at which entropy reaches its minimum value. The theoretical values for absolute zero is 0 Kelvin (-273.15 ◦C or -459.67 ◦F). This principle applies to the experiment as it explains the value at which a gas would theoretically have a volume of 0 mL and would therefore take up the least amount of space.…

references. One of the main cities in the United States that we can look at is Baltimore, Maryland. This city as we look further into has problems with unjustified searches, seizers and arrest, mainly with African Americans in areas of concentrated disadvantage. Thesis: in this paper I will discuss. Subtopics A: The Baltimore Police Department has been reported with excessive use of unconstitutional stops, searches, and arrests by police. To get to fully understand what the DOJ report is…

Breaking School Policy to Benefit Students’ Future Public schools are considered a second home by many students due to the fact that most of the hours of their days are spent in a class or on campus. With that being said, schools have the responsibility to not only educate students, but to keep them safe from the dangers of the outside world. Schools should be a place where the students go to gain knowledge, develop social skills, and grow as individuals in society. According to the course text,…

increases the use of resting oxygen increases, however it is counteract by increasing the use of maximal oxygen, enabling the animal to move, which can lead to succeed in warmer environments. Moreover, it demonstrates that temperature can be considered a limiting factor when studying dispersal of toads. Even though the results obtained showed a correlation between temperature and performance, other factors affected the results. On of factor identified was when extracting the toads from the…

buildings and a strong zero-tolerance policy that treats all behavior the same no matter what the offense is. The school systems are starting to depend on suspensions/expulsions and outside law enforcement to take care of issues in the classroom which is causing physical and emotional risks to youth. Zero tolerance policies were developed in the early 1990’s due to school shootings and…
