Week 1 Summary
We read week one chapters and after first day of class, we learned about Ethical Issues, Threats to Information Security, Protecting Information Resources, creating a process to help eliminate time and cost at the work place.

Since we are attending classes and our education level is rising, what were out thoughts on the illegal downloads? People in class stated that it is easier to purchase songs and movies through ITunes, since it takes seconds to download. There were some people that neither agreed nor disagreed.
Another topic that was discussed in class was Threats to Information Security. One example that was discussed in class was about a call placed to a retail store and information was given by the receptionist and all data was hacked by the caller. At our work places calls regarding information needs to be approved by management before anything can be sent through email or fax. There are security passwords set in place for this same reason.
Next topic that we recall being discussed was Protecting Information Resources when you are in public Wi-Fi places and the web sites we exposed ourselves to. When we use our credit cards at gas stations, we need to check our surroundings to ensure there is no suspicious person trying to hack our credit card accounts. Perhaps we are the lucky ones and this has not happen to us, we know of someone whether friend or co-worker that this has occurred to, and the consequences are unfavorable to the victim. The other topic that we recall being discussed and that we learned about was creating a process. How to make something work more efficiently and follow steps that will eliminate unnecessary steps and become cost efficient. We understand that at every job there are steps or functions that can be
