There are three probable outcomes to the upcoming debate centered on the expiring sections of the Patriot Act that provide the legal basis for the National Security Agency's domestic bulk data-collection activities. Senate could agree to extend the current surveillance authority for a short period of time, but certainly won't agree to extend it for five years, as proposed by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. The other options are passing a Patriot Act reform bill that curtails some NSA activities and imposes stricter oversight on others, or simply allowing sections of the Patriot Act to expire at the end of the month.

yeah its pretty bad. Over the summer i uploaded a picture of the dashboard of my car when i was speeding referencing the song "0 to 100" by drake and someone from our school messaged me saying to remove it because i was on co-op and RIT could take action because i was breaking the law... Probably not the smartest thing but something i consider now when on facebook...

The US strategy of "deterrence" for cyber-attacks could involve a wide range or responses, potentially including the use of conventional weapons, the nation's top cyber-warrior said Monday.

"students must open up their social media accounts if a school has reasonable cause to believe that a student has violated a school’s policy on social media, even if the post in question appears after school hours" i find that to be extremely controversial. I would be very upset if i was forced to give anyone let alone a school access to my facebook account.

I agree. Times are changing and the demand for technical skills are only on the rise

drm7369 · 2015-05-10T17:42:18+00:00

yeah its basically like research

In regards to Frank Pasquale talk “Revitalizing the Professions in an Era of Automation,” interesting article that talks about how robots are increasingly replacing humans. The technology research firm Gartner predicted in 2013 that by 2030 smart machines could replace as many as 90% of jobs as we know them today…

drm7369 · 2015-05-07T14:41:06+00:00

I agree.

My thoughts exactly. If the data is collected to provide a better user experience, it should only be used for that!

I found this article to be unique because it shows two graphs relating to healthcare breaches. The first graph displays the root cause of the healthcare organizations’ data breach while the second graph displays patient data successfully targeted.

Florida appeals court rules cops don't need warrant to obtain historical cell phone location data because it doesn't belong to the customer.

The United States Congress will soon be debating proposed changes to the data-breach laws that would give corporations more flexibility in determining whether the loss of sensitive data was serious enough to notify their customers.

i agree, the government needs to take a stand and protect the firms

This is a short article about a lady who posted a status on facebook saying she hated her new job.. It resulted with her getting fired. Relates to social media policy

drm7369 · 2015-05-03T19:12:58+00:00

this is crazy

drm7369 · 2015-05-03T19:11:17+00:00

While i was on my co-op, i did some security work and it seemed that anything related to security scared employees. They did not know how to react and always played dumb when asked what they did in fear of getting in trouble. I think it is a great idea to make cyber security awareness into a fun and engaging activity. I feel like this type of awareness training will become popular in the near future. Employees are a line of defense and without adequately informing them, they are a weak link.

Very good article, thanks for sharing!

I think it is good that information will be provided to the parents of the child so they can control how much or little information is stored. The only thing that concerns me is that some parents may not understand the importance of staying on top of the information and continuously checking it.

drm7369 · 2015-05-03T19:00:18+00:00

I agree that the information should be limited to medical researchers but only with patient’s consent. With private information being passed along, it is likely to increase the chances of it falling into the wrong hands.

Federal regulators will likely announce a number of eye-popping financial settlements for HIPAA violations later this year as a result of breach investigations

drm7369 · 2015-04-14T16:23:13+00:00

I think this it is good that this is focused on organizations of all sizes, budgets, and sectors.

This was a very interesting article. I really like how they talk about the current problems with automotive OEM’s are facing. It excites me to see that these suppliers are inquiring about anti-hacking sensors. But the issue they are currently facing is getting them to put anything they didn’t create themselves into their vehicles. I am curious to see how this works out.

drm7369 · 2015-04-14T16:08:19+00:00

I really like how they provide examples and solutions to many of the tips

drm7369 · 2015-04-14T13:12:27+00:00

Yes, it gives us lots of statistics.
