The significant purpose of any given government is to support its state and people through dissimilar measures including economic, political and military. However, this is the major reasons why during times of war or other threats to the country, the government takes the authority of applying extra ordinary measurers such as restricting freedom and freezing assets among others. Concurrently, I think that such measures are only relevant when there is a state of emergency in the country so that the government can safeguard its citizen but not throughout. Therefore, the government should note that such measures should only be ...

Introduction

In recent times, the advancement of technology has brought with it numerous changes to the manner in which business is transacted and the way people communicate. Several decades ago, any ordinary office had employees such as messengers and errand persons who would be employed for the sole purpose of taking information from one office to another and from one organization to the next. Operations largely depended on human effort to be completed and much of the work was done manually without the use of even the simplest machines that would make this work easier. However, with technology, many inventions ...

Ethics is important in research since it governs the conduct of people in disciplines such as law, medicine, business and engineering. Because research encompasses cooperation and coordination among people in various disciplines, ethics fosters values that are needed in collaborative work. While it is imperative to underscore the role of ethics in the practice of ...

Research paper

Permanent control over the work of local network, which is a fundamental of any corporate network, is needed to maintain it in working condition.

Abstract.

Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition systems (SCADA) are a subset of Industrial Control Systems (ICS), and they are used to automate the control and monitoring of processes and sets of processes. Such processes include industrial production lines, power grids, rail switching and other critical infrastructure. Traditionally, these systems were isolated and thus secure from cyber-attacks. However, modernization has led to increased complexity, interconnectivity, and digitization. In this regard, today's SCADA systems need to communicate and transfer data from one site to another via communication networks that are at times public e.g. The internet. This development has created security vulnerabilities ...
