Discussing Computer Security or Lack Thereof!

Discussing Computer Security or Lack Thereof!

Q Please share your thoughts in at least 200 words(which can easily be counted by pasting here: https://wordcounter.net/ (Links to an external site.)) Any ONE or all of the following may be selected as your discussion subject, so please indicate(using the bolded words) which question you've chosen to answer: 1. Is there a story which you'd like to share about something security related which has happened to you, or someone close to you? 2. Share your thoughts about the possibility, or impossibility of Perfect Security? 3. What are some best practices you have found and used towards security in your computing experience, such as which software do you prefer or dislike, and why? 4. Describe what you feel is happening in our world regarding privacy, ethics, responsible use of computers, and how our lives have been or will be impacted ? 5. Did you not like Eli the Computer Guy enough to find something better? If so, spend 200 words describing why YOUR video is better, and share a link :) After submitting your post, you will be able to see what others have posted, then you are REQUIRED to also post two responses(100 words or more in length) to anyone else's post here in our forum. I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH, that this is a SAFE space for human beings to share themselves, and to be honored for their perspective. Disagreement is healthy, but anything which looks like a personal attack will not be accepted. There are rules of civility in our organization, which YOU are responsible for knowing, following, and encouraged to take with you in all pursuits outside of your work for CBC. If you have any doubts about your post, or responding to a classmate, you are encouraged to wait and reflect on how you would feel if wearing the shoes of the other person, and to reflect deeply upon this possibility. Let's challenge each other, but always remain loving and supportive to the greatest possible degree, inside and outside of our course! Again, keep in mind students are responsible for keeping use of our Canvas discussion forum relevant to our course objectives. Students should be familiar with written regulations of the College as found in, but not limited to, the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities, the College catalog, quarterly class schedules, the College web pages, the electronic communications policy, the academic honesty handbook, and various program handbooks.

Sure, perfect security is possible, at the cost of disabling what it is you want to secure. For example, to secure a computer: take out all storage media, destroy it, and remove the network card. Better yet, permanently disable the power supply. You now have a perfectly secure, and useless computer.
