Case Study 2: Plain View, Open Fields, Abandonment, and Border Searches as They Relate to Search and Seizures
Due Week 6 and worth 100 points

Officer Jones asked the neighborhood’s regular trash collector to put the content of the defendant’s garbage that was left on the curb in plastic bags and to turn over
the bags to him at the end of the day. The trash collector did as the officer asked in order to not mix the garbage once he collected the defendant’s garbage. The
officer searched through the garbage and found items indicative of narcotics use. The officer then recited the information that was obtained from the trash in an
affidavit in support of a warrant to search the defendant’s home. The officer encountered the defendant at the house later that day upon execution of the warrant. The
officer found quantities of cocaine and marijuana during the search and arrested the defendant on felony narcotics charges.

Write a one to two (1-2) page paper in which you:

Identify the constitutional amendment that would govern Officer Jones’ actions.
Analyze the validity and constitutionality of officer’s Jones’ actions.
Discuss if Officer Jones’ actions were justified under the doctrines of plain view, abandonment, open fields, or border searches.
Use at least two (2) quality references. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format.

Information Network Security

 

 

Information Network Security

 

Assignment

Background

XYZ Co. is a hypothetical small credit card processing company that has contracts with major U.S. banks. Last week, they had a major breach of their network security
and believe that all of their customer information was exposed. This week, stories are emerging across the nation of identity theft and credit card fraud that point
back to the data compromised at XYZ.

Obviously, lawsuits are expected. The CEO and CTO were fired two days ago by the Board of Directors. The CIO was not fired as it was known that he had been trying for
the past year to get the CEO and Board of Directors to allow him to hire an Information Security Officer (ISO) to manage XYZ’s overall network security planning and
implementation.

The Board authorized the CIO to hire you to be XYZ’s ISO. The CIO is definitely in “damage control mode” at present, but he also knows that in addition to fixing the
current problem, XYZ must close all possible security holes and ensure nothing like this ever happens again. Unfortunately, money is very tight due to all the expected
costs associated with the security breach.

The CIO needs to brief the Board of Directors on what has to be done immediately. The Board members do not understand networking and security, so technical jargon
cannot be used. The Board members lose interest if a briefing takes more than 10 minutes.

Your first task is to prepare a presentation for the CIO. He wants something that he can read once and then present. It must provide concise “cause and effect”
information so that the Board will authorize the money, policies, and resources needed to fix security. Time is of the essence!

You start by investigating the basic organization and infrastructure. You find:

1) XYZ has one location: They rent space on two floors in a commercial building. They rent approximately 90% of the 7th floor and 15% of the 6th floor. Their computer
room is on the 6th floor (the only room they have on that floor) and all their offices are on the 7th floor.

2) The front door to the building is open from 7am until 7pm daily. The elevators are operational at all times. Every XYZ employee has a key to the building front door
and the 7th floor offices. All executive and IT employees have a key to the computer room; other employees do not have a computer room key.

3) XYZ has 43 employees in total.

4) XYZ has 4 executive (you are one of them), 7 administrative, and 6 IT employees. They have flex time schedules, allowing them to start work as early as 7 a.m.
(leaving at 3 p.m.) or as late as 11 a.m. (leaving at 7 p.m.). The processing staff numbers 26 individuals, who work three shifts around the clock: 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.; 3
p.m. to 11 p.m.; and 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. Of the 6 IT employees, 3 are telecommuters with domain administrative rights because they are on call 7×24 in case of server or
network hardware problems.

5) The office door on the 7th floor is locked after 5pm and is opened at 8am. Outside those hours, everyone must use a key to enter the offices.

6) The door to the computer room is quite sturdy. In fact, it was built to be secure. But during the day it typically is unlocked because the employees find it to be
too much trouble to unlock and lock it each time they enter or leave. The spoken company policy is that the door must be locked at all times, but no one can show you
that, or any other IT or security policy in writing.

7) The building has suspended ceilings throughout and when you get a ladder and look in the ceiling in the hallway outside the computer room, you can see all the way
to the outside wall of the building in the direction of the computer room.

8) In the computer room, XYZ has:

a. One File Server (Microsoft Windows 2008 Server)

b. One Database Server (Red Hat Linux ES 3.0)

c. One Email Server (Microsoft Exchange). This server also provides VPN for the telecommuters.

d. Two Active Directory Domain Controllers (Microsoft Windows 2003 Server).

e. One Netgear managed switch

f. One Netgear router

g. One Netgear firewall.

9) In the offices, XYZ has:

a. One Netgear managed switch

b. A PC for each employee using a mix of Microsoft Windows XP Professional, Microsoft Windows 7 Professional, and Microsoft Windows 10 Professional.

c. All PCs are a part of the xyz domain.

d. Local printers on several of the computers.

On your first day, you stay late and on your way out at 8 p.m., you check the computer room door and find it unlocked with no one in the room – you lock the door
before leaving.

On your second morning, you arrive at 6 a.m. because you have so much to do and because you can’t sleep. Unfortunately, you have forgotten your door key. You pull out
your laptop planning to start roughing out your briefing, and notice that there is a wireless network available that has an SSID of XYZ and is unsecured. You connect
to the XYZ network and find that you can log onto the XYZ file server, mail server, database server and both domain controllers using your XYZ username and password.
You find that you can log onto XYZ’s router, firewall, and both managed switches using the username “admin” and the password “password”. You find that you can browse
the Internet, too. While poking around some more, you find that a PC named “CEO” and that you can read the files on that machine.

You decide to conduct some informal interviews with employees to find out what they understand about security and their permissions. You find that everyone has domain
administrative permissions and that most cannot explain what that means.

After lunch, you start preparing your presentation. Even though you’ve been “on the job” for only two days, you decide that there are glaring holes that need to be
fixed immediately and that a comprehensive security plan would be better done iteratively.

Assignment

Prepare a presentation for the CIO. This presentation should first and foremost, provide what the CIO has requested; and secondly lay out your immediate plan of action
in sufficient detail that you address each of the various problems you have identified already. It also should lay a foundation for additional research but should not
try to solve what you do not yet know.
