real consideration of integrating Internet into emergency operations

real consideration of integrating Internet into emergency operations

Project description
Although emergency planning and operations have been conducted without a real consideration of integrating Internet into emergency operations, recent developments in

Internet and computer technology have made it possible to change the Incident Command System (ICS) to allow for stronger (an assumption) external control of all types

of emergencies.
There are obvious advantages and disadvantages to using Internet during emergencies. One problem is that the Internet was not developed with security in mind. There is

no governing body on the Internet to ensure compliance with security measures. Although freedom from authority fosters innovation, it has an adverse effect on

security.
The distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks in February 2000 illustrate how lax individual security can affect Internet security. Attackers used intermediary

sites to launch attacks on the targeted sites. These activities were not transparent to the intermediate sites. Consequently, the intermediate sites did not realize

they needed to implement security measures to prevent the attackers from using them to attack the targeted sites; further, they had no motive, other than general good

will, to close the vulnerabilities on their sites that facilitated the DDoS attacks.
Without some central authority to ensure full implementation of security measures, each organization is more or less on its own and can be at the mercy of other

organizations whose concern about security is far less than their own, or maybe even nonexistent. For local and state emergency response agencies to trust the Internet

with their most sensitive data, additional precautions must be taken to ensure the right people are accessing the emergency response networks and that only authorized

users can read transient data.
QUESTION: Based on this brief discussion, do you believe that the significant use of Internet in emergency operations will be limited until they can be conducted

safely on the Internet?
Please state your opinion with citations.
Assignment Expectations
References: At least three references should be included from academic sources (e.g., peer-reviewed journal articles). At least two direct quotes should be used.

Required readings are included. Use your own words to build on the ideas of others. The references should be cited within the text and also listed at the end of the

assignment in the References section in APA format.
Format: APA format is required.
The following items will be assessed in particular:
Relevance – All content is connected to the question.
Precision – Specific question is addressed. Statements, facts, and statistics are specific and accurate.
Depth of discussion – Points that lead to deeper issues are presented and integrated.
Breadth – Multiple perspectives and references, multiple issues/factors are considered.
Evidence – Points are well-supported with facts, statistics, and references.
Logic – Presented discussion makes sense; conclusions are logically supported by premises, statements, or factual information.
