Module 5 Discussion
Select one of the topics covered in this module,
research it on the Internet (excluding Wikipedia, which is not considered a
valid reference by any regional accrediting body), and type a report of at
least two paragraphs on it to the class. Show your references for your
classmates to use. You may not duplicate someone elseâs topic so check before
you research. Duplicate topics (determined by date/time posted) will be given a
0 grade. In addition, respond to at least two of your classmatesâ postings. All
references must be cited using APA format.
Note: Most of the books about
information security are dated even before they are published, so it is
important for practitioners in the field to stay current. The purpose of using
this discussion question is to engender your willingness to do research on
topics of interest in the field. The requirement to include the reference where
you obtained the information is twofold. First, it is to ensure that valid
research is being done. Second, it is to provide a site where other students
who are interested in that topic can visit to learn more about the topic.
