Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 9, Problem 2E
a)
Explanation of Solution
Walls and Doors:
Walls and doors act as the obstacles and prevent form stealing resources or information...
b)
Explanation of Solution
Access Control:
Access control is categorized into two. They are:
Physical access control: The objective of physical access control is to guard the physical resources of a particular organization. The physical resources may be people, systems, hardware and so on.
Logical access control: The objective of physical access control is to guard the critical data that could be taken by an intruder without accessing physical devices. They are technology-based control that includes intrusion detection system, antivirus software, and firewalls.
Factors considered for the server room:
The organization will consider many security controls to protect their resources and precious data...
c)
Explanation of Solution
Fire detection:
Fire detectors are used to find out the phenomena resulting from fire like, smoke, gas, ultraviolet radiation, infrared radiation, etc. By using fire detectors, it is possible to save lots of lives and protects assets in an organization...
d)
Explanation of Solution
Fire suppression:
- Fire suppressor is used to eliminate fire from particular areas. They are of portable and manual types. Mostly portable extinguishers are more efficient for smaller fire.
- Fire suppression system quells fires by eliminating either oxygen or fuel, or it reduces the temperature.
- Fire extinguishers usually contain carbon-di-oxide that eliminates oxygen supply. It might harm living beings so they are not used in residential areas...
e)
Explanation of Solution
Heating, Ventilating, and air conditioning:
Heating, ventilation as well as air conditioning system could have impact on operations of
f)
Explanation of Solution
Power quality and distribution:
In order to avoid power quality, proper UPS should be used. They act as a backup power supply for computers. The powering capacity of UPS is usually measured in volt-ampere. A normal computer uses 200 VA and during interruptions or power fluctuations, it gets efficient power supply from UPS which provides up to 1,000 VA...

A factory manager has hired your company to develop and install a surveillance system in a factory. The system includes cameras small enough not to be noticed. Supervisors and security personnel can view images and record audio in real-time on monitors in a control room. The system will also store video. The factory manager has not disclosed the placement locations for the new system. The factory manager says the purposes are to watch for safety problems and for theft of materials by workers. What issues, specifications, and policies will you discuss with the factory manager or your company? What would you do?
1) Who are the skateholders?
2) What are the risk, issues, problems, and consequences?
Subject: Software Engineering
You are designing an intrusion detection system (IDS) to prevent theft at a bank occupying a 60-floor downtown Chicago building. IDS interfaces with motion sensors located both inside and outside of the building as its only means of sensing intrusion. IDS must satisfy the following:
Ensurethat a police officer arrives at the location of any intrusion quickly;
Makeany intruder run away quickly;
Ensure that a maintenance worker arrives at the location of any failed sensor quickly.
Questions:
Specify a minimal set of signals to support the C-C-I and H-C-I of IDS and its partners.
Use pseudo-code to show the operation of the system.

The voting system can be used for casting votes during the elections held in local level to national level. In this system, a voter has to go to the respective polling booth to cast his/her vote. For casting votes, each voter needs to pass the authentication step. A voter swipes his/her smart card (with a magnetic chip containing social security number) into the electronic voting machine (EVM). After reading data from the card, the voter is asked to give his fingerprint which must match with the fingerprint stored in the national database. A voter can see the list of candidates after passing the authentication step. Then s/he can choose only one candidate from the list whom s/he wants to vote for. Once a voter submits his/her vote, the vote will be casted. The confidentiality of voters will be strictly maintained. If a voter submits his/her vote once, s/he will no longer be a…arrow_forward

- VAP is an integral part of a security program that involves tracking issues and problems in the security of the environment. These could be technical issues, process issues, or something else. The program includes actual testing of the program to assure it is working properly. Some of these tests are required by the frameworks such as PCI DSS and ISO27001. Others are based on knowledge of the platform and the need to know where issues reside. Here are some examples of the tests: 1. User Reviews of every system where users are configured. These reviews look for accounts of employees that are no longer on the payroll, have changed roles, or no longer need access. 2. Firewall Reviews look for ingress and egress rules that may no longer be required, present a security risk, or were added without proper approval or vetting. 3. Configuration Reviews that verify configuration settings for security devices and appliances to assure they are properly configured and functioning. 4.…arrow_forwardSubject : Software Engineering You are designing the H-C-I system for a remotely-operated drone aircraft.
