Corporate Intelligence This is one of the assignments from MISI 605 Intelligence Vulnerabilities course. The main idea of this assignment is to investigate various corporate espionage acts. In this modern world many multinational corporations are spying on another corporations to gather business secrets. From this assignment I have learned that various multinational corporations such as Google, the Microsoft Corporation, and Amazon etc. are spying on each other to gather business secrets. I have also learned that these corporations conduct espionage acts on each and every individual who works for them and who utilizes their services. One must be very care full in using any service, everyone thinks that the service is for free but the service …show more content…
This assignment completely deals with developing a project charter for building a new house. A project charter deals with scope, objectives, and participants in a project. Project charter is referred as a blue print for developing a project. It specifies various requirements such as project start time, project end time, estimated cost, resources required, and stakeholder details. From this class I have learned how to use the Microsoft Project software. This course is completely based on the Microsoft Project. It is most essential tool that automatically schedules date and time for building a house. I have also learned how to manage project cost with limited resources and how to build two identical houses at same …show more content…
The main idea of this assignment is to develop an entity relationship diagram for a student who is willing to take various course in a semester. Entity relationship diagrams must be developed after converting the given data into the third normal form. I have learned how to dissolve a huge amount of data by using normal forms. I have also learned how to create an entity relationship diagram for a given data base. I have also learned various SQL queries and sub queries to retrieve data from the database. The final project of this course helped me to create a specific database on my own for a desired
This Project Charter is approved and accepted by the Executive Sponsor and the Client. Before granting approval to proceed, all signatures requested in section 1.5 must be obtained. By signing this document, the following people authorize the project to proceed based on the scope of work, project schedule and costs documented in this Project Charter:
Usually, most corporate espionage schemes are conducted by business insiders or people who have legitimate access to a company’s computer networks, for example, employees, information technology personnel, or corporate executives. Mostly, such schemes are carried out by these insiders, whose motivations might be lack of loyalty or job dissatisfaction.
No database modeling interviews are required for this project. The goal of Application: Start this this project is to ensure that all students have the project following Section same information before preparing the final 2 Lesson 2. presentation and creating the ERD. Most other projects contained in the Project Book will require students to work on their interviewing skills – since the goal of each database modeling project is to satisfy the clients’ needs. Project success is demonstrated with successful interviews, creative solution creation, and an effective presentation.
Provide a project charter of your selected project in accordance with the charter template found in Doc Sharing. The project will be the project your team will use for the remainder of this course.
* As explained throughout this course, entity relationship modeling is a critical element of database design. If the database is not properly modeled, it is unlikely that the database will be properly developed. Using this knowledge, explain the key reasons why entity relationship modeling is important, and determine at least (1) way in which it impacts the overall development of the database.
Draw an REA diagram with cardinalities and tables with primary keys, foreign keys, and non-key attributes for the following business:
I will then analyze the 3rd recommendation of the paper “Liberty and Security”, which demands that “surveillance must not be directed at illicit or illegitimate ends, such as the theft of trade secrets or obtaining commercial gain for domestic industries,” and argue that even if this motive may not be the main reason why foreign surveillance is conducted, it can be an unintended but useful – or rather unfair – consequence of easy collection of foreign intelligence, especially when considering the difference in technological capabilities between countries in the world. Finally, I am going to argue that, for the socio-economic benefit of globalization and international trade, it should be made equally harder for US intelligence agencies to collect information on non-US persons as it is to collect US-persons’ private information. Otherwise, this double standard can have – or maybe already has – negative consequences on trust between nations.
This Project Charter describes the purpose, scope, objectives, estimated cost/ effort/ duration, risk and constraints, assumptions, approach and organization.
This assignment consists of two (2) sections: a project introduction and a project plan. You must submit both sections as separate files for the completion of this assignment. Label each file name according to the section of the assignment it is written for. Additionally, you may create and / or assume all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of this assignment.
Espionage has been a part of America since its earliest days. Today it is not surprising to hear of newer forms of spying like a cyber-attack on a federal agency or intrusions into nuclear power plants that could potentially cause grave damage. One current example of an espionage event officially named by the FBI as Operation Ghost Stories occurred around the 2010-time frame. The FBI ran an investigation of at least ten Russian spies that had embedded themselves in communities, universities, and jobs without anyone suspecting (FBI). These deep-cover spies used stolen identities to obtain a front of being “normal” Americans that to all but knew their true identities. They assimilated into the fabric of our country, and their intent was to gather intelligence and to strike at a strategic time that could occur years down the road. It is not wonder that organizations are concerned when they have so much riding on keeping their networks secure. One method that companies have used to keep their secrets more secure is by using an intranet.
Corporate espionage attacks are not necessarily committed by adversarial and friendly foreign powers. They may also be committed by competing industrial players whose goal is to steal technology for an upper intellectual advantage, and in doing so, undermine the victim-nation's economy. And while businesses with sensitive defense and government information capabilities are the primary targets of foreign targeting, private organizations have also grown increasingly vulnerable due to the vast expansion of globalization and the interconnected growth of industrialized nations. In either scenario, foreign government or competing industry, spies achieve their means through similar exploitation of weaknesses in technology and insider information.
Corporate espionage, according to techtarget.com, is the “illegal practice of investigating competitors to gain a business advantage”. There are different ways this can be done, but some of the most common are an inside threat, social engineering, and targeted attacks. An inside threat could be a person hired by a company to seek employment in a rival company with the purpose of spying or it could also be a dissatisfied worker who exchanges information with rival companies as personal revenge or gain. Social engineering is the practice of obtaining information about a company form the employees by tricking them into sharing important information. A targeted attack is a cyber-attack conducted with the purpose of gaining access to the network of the targeted company to steal data.

Research reveals that the lines between competitive intelligence and corporate espionage can become blurred. Thus, the question arises, what are the legal consequences of unethical competitive intelligence? The following case demonstrates that the blurring of ethical lines can lead to serious legal trouble (Ellison & Fairclough, 2001). For example, Procter & Gamble (P&G) staff engaged in
