Please choose a recent technical article from a referred journal or conference proceedings on the topic of threats and vulnerabilities of computer information systems. You are required to provide:
-A complete reference for the article
-A brief summary and a critical analysis of that article.
Learning Objectives
The purpose of this assignment is to describe and summarize the content and fundamental argument of an article in a concise format, and through this exercise to practice skills in critical reading.
Deliverable Format:
The assignment must include 2-3 pages (single-spaced, not counting quotations used) containing:
-A paragraph showing the summary of the article
-Your opinion of the article's quality and your own position. Did the writer do sufficient research? Is the article technically correct? Are there elements of the argument that could have been enhanced with more detail or more argumentation? What would a follow-up article contain to be useful to this one? Did you agree with the article? Did it support or change your opinion? If not, then why?
-Use the APA style for references and citations.
