The Internet has grown faster than any telecommunications system in
history continuing to grow and become more ubiquitous. This is
particularly true with the advent of 5G networks. These networks are
attractive targets for intruders. The Open Systems Interconnection (OSI)
model and the standard of communication built on the TCP/IP protocol
coupled with the everywhere computing in all types of devices enabled by
5G will fundamentality change our society. We must face this with clear
security safeguards and thought into the implications of this for
society.
We live in a networked society, yet many are naive about how to
protect the security of the information we exchange and store via this
network. The pervasiveness of the networked culture often leads to
patterns of behavior where we may engage in risky data behavior whether
it is personal or work-related information that is networked. The
purpose of this case is to raise your awareness of these issues and how to begin to safeguard your networked systems.
First you will read the ACM code of ethics: http://www.acm.org/about/code-of-ethics
While you see that this code of ethics was adopted in 1992, the network security violation events continue to occur.

The chapter from Techtarget.com discusses the issues of computer
security. I want you to specifically address the issues in the context
of networks of the Internet of Things with the potential to monitor
every action of our daily lives and to replace many jobs with robotic
controls. How will these systems be secured?
When you have finished your research here, you will be able to write a short (5- to 7-page) paper discussing the question:
How can you as the network administrator use network security
principles to protect networked systems. You will use the principle of Defense in Depth where you use routers, firewalls, intrusion detection systems (IDSs) and intrusion prevention systems (IPSs).
