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.
