In-class post, 17/11/2006
Well we're just about ready to start, I was pleased that some items that I ordered from the US on Tuesday, was able to be delivered to me this morning, they were able to contact me and deliver my package to me on campus...the wonders of IT and facilitating such a system to allow items to be delivered over thousands of kilometres in a matter of days...
Dr. Mohan started with a small discussion about remarking, and how when marking for exams with CXC, how some remarking actually ends up with a lower grade when such exams are remarked, so there is always a risk when it comes to doing remarking with certain areas. When it comes to remarking the projects, I have no problem with the marks, because if that is how it was judged, so be it, we learn from our mistakes and we move on.
Another concern raised in class was with regards to the marking of the blogs...there was a requirement of 20 posts relating to the topics, and also if there was a consistent amount of sufficient work done, then it would be taken into consideration for the marking scheme.
Securing an Information System:
When it comes to detecting criminal activities, it is a case of vigilance, since criminals are often able to keep up with security initiatives that may be in effect.
Some ways of detecting possible criminal activity are:
-By monitoring the network for activity at times where the network shouldn't be in heavy use.
-By the use of Intrusion Detection Software, which can check for user authentication, IP/MAC Address logging etc.
-By audit trails, where checks are made to see what who is accessing specific data.
Well we're done for now, so until Monday.
