One of the things my fellow Norwich MSIA grads discussed during residency week was that we wished that we could review each other’s final papers. We all thought it would be very valuable because we learned so much from our classmates (cohort in Norwich terms) weekly postings, and thought we would learn even more from the final papers. The problem with doing so is that we signed an agreement to keep our company’s information anonymous, and the final papers were geared to be a consultant paper for our employers.
I changed employers part way through my coursework so I switched to a more generic approach to the topics. Therefore, I can post my final three papers here for anyone to review. I do claim copyright protection for them, but do allow anyone to use portions of the papers as long as you properly attribute the source.
I put links to the papers on my Resources page. The papers are:
- The Future of Information Assurance
A discussion about the value of trust in business and how IA ensures trust. - Computer Forensics: Steps to Ensure a Successful Outcome in the U.S. Legal System
- Creating an Information Security Plan for Small & Medium Sized Businesses I plan to build off this to write a how-to book for small businesses.
I hope posting these papers helps anyone considering a Norwich MSIA and hopefully adds to the general knowledge of IA. I also welcome any comments or suggestions.
