In the news we are constantly hearing about security breaches, invasion of personal privacy, and the increasing prevalence of our digital footprint. The increased availability of digital information presents concerns and challenges of privacy, accuracy, intellectual property rights, security, and censorship. As a global citizen, you need to be aware of these issues and how they impact your life (CO6).
Your instructor will set-up two (2) conversation groups this week in which you will select one topic to discuss which interests you.
Conversation Group: Privacy

Privacy, as it relates to social media, video surveillance, drones, digital footprint or other topics as they relate to digital privacy.
How does the electronic environment impact one’s right to privacy?

Conversation Group: Security

Security, as it relates to social media, video surveillance, drones, digital footprint or other topics as they relate to digital privacy.
How does the electronic environment impact one’s personal security?

Using the Richard G. Trefry Library or another credible source, locate and read a quality article regarding digital privacy or security. Be sure to provide attribution for your source in the forum. As you are formulating your initial post consider the following questions:
What is the issue? Tell us about it as if we know nothing on the topic.
What are the pros and cons of the issue?
Why is the issue important?
How might the issue impact your life?
You are required to participate in one group, and are welcome to participate in the other. Once the conversation is flowing, participate substantively with your peers to teach from one another.

Part 2A: Major Events Documentation
Scenario: You visit a retail establishment, shop around, and finally carry several products to one of the point of sale (POS) terminals visible around the store. You produce a credit card and the salesclerk processes the transaction, bags your goods, and hands you the receipt. On your way to the exit, a store employee asks to see your receipt and inspects the contents of the store bag. Document each of the major events just described and then describe the events in terms of the PCI compliance standard. Include this report in your assignment.
Part 2B: PCI Compliance
This part will cover PCI. Please refer to Figure B-1A in your responses.
Respond to and address the following:
Suppose HGA’s data server, depicted in Figure B-1, stored cardholder data in the private databases. What steps should be taken to protect that data in order to be PCI compliant?
HGA’s data server has network connectivity. Assuming that cardholder data is transmitted across these networks, describe how data should be protected in transmission.
Users are located at various sites connected to the HGA network. Suggest appropriate access controls to restrict unauthorized users from looking at cardholder data.
The PCI specification notes that all systems and network devices connected to a system that stores, transmits, or processes cardholder data is in scope and must comply with PCI specifications. To avoid having the whole network subject to PCI specifications, how would you partition the network to reduce the scope of compliance?
 Submit the usual double-spaced APA-styled report. At least four pages of material are expected beyond the title page, table of contents, abstract, and references page.
