Which vulnerabilities do you think have the greatest commercial impact?

Did the crisis predicted materialize? Does it persist?

Use the questions above to guide your reading: you do not need to specifically ‘answer’ them in your writing…because first, you are again asked to

Search for another article that that discusses the security vulnerabilities that contemporary IT presents. Once you have identified an article that relates to one or more aspects of security, consider its authority and relevance. Does it offer strong empirical evidence for the risks, threats or predictions it puts forward? Does it reinforce – or perhaps contradict – what you have read before?

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.

Carefully read, analyze and summarize the article you chose and then write a brief review (between 300-600 words) that articulates what you consider to be the key issue(s), and specifically how it (or they) relate to those set out in the lead articles AND how they affect the security – in any sense – of individuals and organizations.
