Chapters 5, 9, and 10 in the course textbook
Many business environments have both visible and invisible physical security controls. You see them at the post office, at the corner store, and in certain areas of your own computing environment. They are so pervasive that some people choose where they live based on their presence, as in gated access communities or secure apartment complexes. Alison is a security analyst for a major technology corporation that specializes in data management. This company includes an in house security staff (guards, administrators, and so on) that is capable of handling physical security breaches. Brad experienced an intrusion—into his personal vehicle in the company parking lot. He asks Alison whether she observed or recorded anyone breaking into and entering his vehicle, but this is a personal item and not a company possession, and she has no control or regulation over damage to employee assets. This is understandably unnerving for Brad, but he understands that she’s protecting the business and not his belongings.
When or where would you think it would be necessary to implement security measures for both?
Make sure to back up your statements with scholarly support.

Number of pages: 3+
For this assignment, review the article:
Abomhara, M., & Koien, G.M. (2015). Cyber security and the internet of things: Vulnerabilities, threats, intruders, and attacks. Journal of Cyber Security, 4, 65-88. Doi: 10.13052/jcsm2245-1439.414
and evaluate it in 3+ pages, using your own words, by addressing the following:
· What did the authors investigate, and in general how did they do so?
· Identify the hypothesis or question being tested
· Summarize the overall article.
· Identify the conclusions of the authors
· Indicate whether or not you think the data support their conclusions/hypothesis
· Consider alternative explanations for the results
· Provide any additional comments pertaining to other approaches to testing their hypothesis (logical follow-up studies to build on, confirm or refute the conclusions)
· The relevance or importance of the study
· The appropriateness of the experimental design
When you write your Assessment, be brief and concise. Also, you should include a complete reference (title, authors, journal, issue, pages) you turn in your Assessment. This is good practice for your literature review, which you’ll be completing during the dissertation process.
Your paper should meet the following requirements:
