Corporate Strategy Protection of Infrastructure Example of iSales server being hacked
Question
iSales is an e-commerce site that sells very popular boutique gifts. The site does close to $500,000 sales each day. There have been two security breaches.1. Just before the peak selling season, late November, iSales.com, their Website was subject to a Denial of Service (DOS) attack that left iSales unable to respond to customers for 36 hours.
2. A computer hacker from Florida, described in court by a defense psychiatrist as an “idiot savantlike genius for computers and information technology”, broke into the iSales computer systems and stole the credit card numbers of their customers. The hacker would drive past the iSales location with a laptop and tap into the unprotected wireless Internet signals. He then installed “sniffer” programs that picked off credit and debit card numbers as they were processed by the iSales computers. He sold the credit card numbers overseas. The losses to iSales customers and banks was said to amount to several million dollars.
How should iSales proceed to protect their infrastructure against malicious threats in general and these two attacks in particular? What short term and long term defensive actions should iSales management take? Provide guidance to iSales on the actions they should take to manage of security risks.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
I was a bad place with my electricity assignment and was not sure how to apply the laws to get the numerical assignments done. Then I came in contact of one of my seniors in my college who told me about HwA. The service I got here was awesome and more than giving me a A in my assignment they also treated me with respect and helped me learn a lot.
Nicola Watson Student
The most fascinating thing is how they actually respond to quick demand. It was a classic mistake! The actual deadline of my ratio analysis assignment was on 16th and I mentioned to them that it is 26th. Just when I had pinged them on 14th, they instantly delivered me the accounting homework by 15th evening. I was so relieved and thrilled to get in the same.
John Stamford Student
Initially I hesitated but after talking to one of the nursing assignment experts I was overwhelmed by the fact that she is from my university only and knew all our curriculums. I was so relaxed after that as HwA helped me out with all my assignments and helped me learn new things in nursing.
Fiona McGrath Student
I often used to get baffled by the Theory X and Theory Y of management strategies when my friend told me to seek help from HwA. It was a great advice, I must say, because it helped me to get good grades and clear my concepts.
Laurie Butters Student
I always wished to be a tax attorney and my dream has come true with the assistance of HwA. After completing my graduation in law I pursued a master degree on taxation. However, I faced severe problems while dealing with the numerical given as assignments. Then one of my friends suggested about this website and I got wonderful response.

I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
