Abstract
This paper examines how the author Mohammed Ayoob, provides a fresh and in-depth view on the political dynamics on the other side of the world, the Third World. It shows how throughout the book it is emphasized that the Third World security concerns are linked to its internal vulnerabilities, which stem from a low level of social cohesion and of regime?s legitimacy vis-?-vis its own population and how these are the main factors that are considered to have resulted on much intrastate conflicts and upheaval in the Third World.
From the Paper
"Ayoob explains that such a condition is caused by two factors. Firstly, these countries are still in the early phase of state-building. Most of the Third World countries have only started this process only after the end of the colonization era in the 20th century. Conversely, North American and European countries have undergone four to five centuries of state-building process and have now become ?territorially satiated? with social and political cohesiveness, high level of industrialization and evenly-distributed prosperity (p. 195). These countries have already obtained the three primary components of ?security software?: legitimacy, integration and policy capacity."

Network Security Threats, 2006.
This paper explores the two main challenges to network security; internal employees and external threats.

Abstract
This paper discusses network security and the threat posed by a company's internal employees to network security. The paper explains that while it is recognized that external threats such as hackers, worms, viruses and various email attack strategies pose a significant and often expenses security risk, protecting against these risks is a known quantity. On the other hand, the paper relates that protecting against employee network security risks is more problematic and often requires human resource initiatives in tandem with network security applications and protocols.
From the Paper
"There are essentially two separate schools of thought regarding the character of network security vis-a-vis the threat to security posed by employees. On the one hand there is the opinion that employees pose the greatest threat to network security due to their network access and often unrestrained Internet use. Conversely, there is the school of thought that, while admitting that employees pose a considerable security risk, believe that external threats such as hackers and viruses pose a far greater risk. The industry consensus seems to be that both issues need to be addressed but that employee security risks is perhaps the most difficult to prevent since 84% of security violations across a network occur when employees, either intentionally or inadvertently, send proprietary data outside of a company's network."

Abstract
This paper discusses the various security threats facing Kuwait. The paper contends that the Kuwaiti government must reassess its earlier national security priorities and replace the threat posed by Iraq, which had earlier dominated the country's security agenda, with the threat posed by terrorism, acting against the possibility of terrorists coming into the country from Iraq. At the same time, the principality has to place economic security high on its priority list and try to enhance it by confronting the need to have a national defense, while separating that defense from the United States.
From the Paper
"The concept of national security and the types of threats which countries now have to plan and account for in their security agendas has undergone a tremendous, maybe even drastic change in recent years. Prior to the collapse of the Soviet Union and the emergence of multinational and nationless terrorist groups, security threats were reasonably clear cut. Leibstone, a military conflict and security scholar, mentions that security threats and concerns primarily arouse from the ideological conflict between the West and the Soviet bloc with there really being no possibility of open warfare or conflict in light of the military capabilities of both. In fact, it was even assumed that, in case of severe conflict between nations, the USA and the USSR would step in to contain it, as happened multiple times, including during wars between Israel and the Arabs (6). While that does not mean to say that the world was secure during the Cold War, security threats were more identifiable and, consequently, containable. However, following the downfall of the communist empire, the security threats have multiplied, most notably because they are not as identifiable. For instance, there are questions surrounding missing Soviet weapons of mass destruction with the primary fear being that they are either on sale in the black market or have actually fallen into the hands of terrorist groups. These groups, as mentioned directly above, now constitute a security threat of a new nature and dimension. They are now insofar as it is practically the first time that countries have had to deal with a strong but unidentifiable enemy. Their dimensions are unknown because, as an unidentifiable nationless enemy, the severity of their threat is incalculable because little concrete information is known about either the weapons they control, their average membership size or the countries that they operate it."

Reality and the External World, 2008.
A comparison of the views of Rene Descartes and George Berkeley on the notion of the external world and how people interact with it.

Abstract
This paper discusses the notion that there is an external world and that people generally interact with it in similar manners. It describes and analyzes the philosophies of Rene Descartes and George Berkeley who both attempted to formally justify these notions. Furthermore, the paper compares and contrasts the views of the two philosophers in their explanations of the external world and reality.
From the Paper
"It seems that there is an almost undeniable disconnect between our mental constructions of how the world operates around us--largely through language--and the way in which this world may actually work in an objective sense. Since, according to Berkeley and many others, there may be little logical backing to the notion that an objective, physical reality can ever be reasonably approximated by any of us--because we are so completely committed to our own individual points of view--it has been historically difficult for correspondence theorists to generate a formula by which objective truth can be determined. After all, the linguistic mechanisms that we all make use of every day involve, extensively, relational propositions, universals, predicates, and other functions that fail to unambiguously possess any meaning in the physical world."

Existence of an External World, 2008.
A critical analysis of the arguments of Rene Descartes and John Locke with regards to the existence of an external world.

Abstract
This paper discusses the arguments of Rene Descartes and John Locke with regards to whether or not we can have knowledge of the existence of an external world. The paper shows that there are fundamental problems with both of their arguments and as such, the paper suggests that we are not yet in a position to demonstrate unequivocally that we can have knowledge of the existence of an external world.
From the Paper
"I thus conclude that neither Descartes nor Locke offer me sufficient proof that I can have knowledge of an external world. Descartes' argument fails on the basis that his argument for the existence of God is circular, and thus we have no particular reason to trust our own reasons. And Locke's argument fails because Descartes' arguments effectively destroy the foundation of Locke's argument. But as I have now have shown that I have no sound reason to trust the evidence of my reason, nor any sound reason to trust the evidence of my senses, it follows that there is nothing left on which I may base any confidence that we can have knowledge of the existence of an external world."

Abstract
This paper explores the relationship between globalization and security using the state and the individual as units of analysis. It argues that globalization has varying consequences on different actors. The paper challenges the assumption that globalization has a direct impact on state security. It shows that global processes challenge state security in an indirect manner but have direct effects on human security.

Appendix
From the Paper
"Globalization can be seen both as a historical project and as a process that affects social relations of peoples, groups and states.(Bello, 1998) It is conceived as a historical conjuncture of the modernist project (McMichael 1996) that promotes the ideological framework of neoliberalism (Kinvall 2002: 5-6). The principles of free market economics constitute the policy package called the Washington Consensus - trade liberalization, financial deregulation, privatization, and inflation and currency exchange stability policies - which became the cornerstone of structural adjustment policies (SAPs) implemented in many economies. While Latin America and Africa have severely suffered from neoliberal globalization, Asia stands as an exceptional case of successful integration in the global economy (Dittmer 2002). Asia Pacific projected itself to the world as the most dynamic region characterized by growth with equity: rapid and sustained economic growth, equitable distribution of incomes, and dramatic improvements in human welfare (Rigg 2003: Table 1.3: 10; World Bank 1993)."

Database Security.
This paper discusses the goals of security and common security threats, including Microsoft SQL Server security techniques and web application security measures.
2,715 words (approx. 10.9 pages), 18 sources, APA, $ 81.95

Abstract
This paper explains that database security is the protection of the database against unauthorized access, either intentional or accidental; security countermeasures should combat threats and the outcomes of such threats. The author points out that physical security means that a SQL Server system is running in a controlled-access environment in which only approved personnel have physical access to the system; whereas, appropriate physical security means that SQL Server should be isolated from web infrastructures and direct Internet access. The paper concludes that network and operating system security are not sufficient to defend against dynamic threats to a web application; therefore, database and web application server techniques are a necessity, but even with these extra layers of security in place, there's no such thing as a full-proof security system.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Access control prevents unauthorized persons from accessing a system to either obtain information or make changes. Like most databases, Microsoft SQL Server handles access control by allowing the creation of user accounts and passwords to control log-in. Additionally, Microsoft SQL Server supports the use of Windows NT Integrated Security where users are identified to the database by their Windows NT user accounts rather than user ID and password to access the database. Chapple states that this approach offers both the benefit of shifting the burden of account management to the network administration staff and it provides the ease of a single sign-on to the end user."

MIS Security, 2005.
This paper discusses the necessity for a computer security system for protection from various internal or external threats.
900 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 1 source, $ 35.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper notes the need for security and a security plan for the MIS system to be implemented. The writer looks at concerns raised over computer crime, threats from hackers, and threats from employees who abuse the use of the computer. Further, the writer notes the need to protect data from intruders from any internal or external source, with recommendations for the use of a firewall, passwords, and other means.
From the Paper
"The security of the computer system to be installed has to be part of the design from the start. The security system needs to take into account the threat of computer crime, hackers, and even employees who misuse the system. Key to the system has to be the protection of data from intruders from any internal or external source. Much computer crime today is an external threat. The types of fraud are numerous, in keeping with different types of business and with different degrees of vulnerability. Businesses suffer because of identity theft, hackers, computer viruses and worms, and employee abuse of the system."

"Introduction
From personal computers in the home used to track checking accounts and keep household inventories in databases to large supercomputers that control space missions and run the world's largest companies, computers have become commonplace. The number of individuals who have access to the information on those computers has increased as the communications industry has undergone a revolution in recent years, and uncontrolled access to information presents a very real threat in most business and some government information. Because of the highly significant role that computers play in modern life, there is a need to keep information on machines secure from tampering, from unauthorized dissemination, and from unauthorized removal. This research examines various threats facing society from inadequate computer security, and the prospect.."

Abstract
This paper utilizes Amazon and eBay to demonstrate that the Internet not only offers businesses a unique set of opportunities to reach customers in an unprecedented and successful manner but also creates a plethora of threats to their front-end and back-end systems. The author points out that front-end systems refer to a workstation or group of workstations, which supply operators with the ability to network with a large-scale computer system; whereas, back-end systems refer to business and legacy systems that support inventory, the order processing and receivables for both buyers and suppliers in business-to-business e-commerce. The paper examines the security analysis process and the associated assessment tools, which assist online businesses in eliminating or reducing these security vulnerabilities.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"These are emails that are sent to members supposedly from eBay. These emails assert that there is some type of problem with the member's account and their username and password is needed to address the problem. The individuals that send the emails then use this information to enter member accounts and in many cases charge the credit cards of members or place ads in their name. To combat this issue, eBay warns members to always log into the official eBay site because it provides a list of all the emails that have been sent to the member by eBay. If an email is not contained in the list, it is a fake email and should be discarded."

Security Versus Privacy, 2007.
A discussion on security versus privacy in the national security debate.
2,306 words (approx. 9.2 pages), 10 sources, MLA, $ 71.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The writer proposes that there is an erroneous assumption that the transformation of free societies into police states will ensure security from external and internal threats. The paper examines how the recent revelation, that President Bush told the NSA to start monitoring all international communications of people with terrorist links, is just one of the latest battles in the effort to balance security and privacy. The paper concludes that any proposal that is made in the name of national security should be carefully evaluated in terms of its actual, net effects.
From the Paper
"This ruling has not stopped the executive branch via the intelligence community to continue to attempt to use national security as an excuse to undermine privacy rights. For instance, on December 13, 2004, President Bush signed into law the Intelligence Authorization Act, which grants unprecedented power to the FBI to access private records without a court order (Swartz, 2004). This expansion of power has proceeded despite the fact that similar measures were struck down as part of the revised Patriot Act. The American people seem willing to accept greater and greater intrusions into their privacy."

Conclusions
From the Paper
"There are multiple threats that exist in society today capable of incapacitating an organization (Grassie, 2000; Schwartz, 2003). These threats if not identified early on lead to continuing business risk and the potential for catastrophic destruction of an organizations assets, including information systems, organization systems and even people within the organization.
Both internal and external threats are increasing in number as rapid technological advances provide opportunists with more ways to access organizational systems. It is important more than ever that organization work to identify with threats are plausible and develop security programs that will minimize the likelihood that a threat or catastrophe will occur in the near future."

From the Paper
"The focus of this discussion is company security systems. This paper details the design and implementation of an ideal internal and external security set-up, hardware, and policy.
The Protection or security of assets of an industrial organization against nonbusiness losses is a major management problem. This area has often been regarded as a low-grade policing activity, primarily involving security officers, burglar alarms, and armored cars. However, lack of proper attention to this area can be costly in terms of serious losses or even the complete destruction of an organization.
The need for companies to re-evaluate security is evident in the increasing numbers of office attacks, equipment thefts, as well as the availability of new safety techniques. Since the problem of theft is internal as well as ... "
