Importance of Information Security Laws and Regulations.

As a risk manager, should you approach regulations as a risk to information systems? Do you see regulations as important measures to strengthen information security or as ways to exert unnecessary control over organizations?

In response to your peers, research any organization as a point of reference or use your own place of work in discussing why regulations are important measures or ways to exert unnecessary control over organizations.

RESOURCE

Read Chapter 3 in our text, Managing Risk in Information Systems (Gibson 2010).

· Watch the Podcast, in Module 2, The Path from Information Security Risk Assessment to Compliance (26:17)

Allow your discussion posts to be detailed and capable of sharing knowledge, ideas and points. You must discuss the topic using your own words first. Using your own words indicate you understand the topic of discussions.

Secondly, you must cite your sources in-text. This is necessary to justify your points. Sources from several sources showed good research abilities. Lastly, you must provide references at the bottom of your post. A discussion post without justification with sources does not show proper research abilities.

A terse and not detailed discussions represent post that would not provide enough sharing of knowledge or proper understanding of the topic. DO NOT just copy and paste a sentence from online with citation at the end as your own discussion.

I have not asked for definitions, I asked for discussions and will not buy this. You must show understanding of the discussion topic by using your own words to describe the topic and then justify that with sources.

12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. Sources should be cited according to APA citation method (citation should be relevant and current). Page-length requirements:1 page at least.

Make sure you cite if you take a piece of someone's work, very important and your reference should relate to your writing (don't cite a reference because it relates to the course and not this very paper) at least 4 current and relevant academic references. No heavy paraphrasing of others work.
