you agree or disagree that Brazil’s problem is an ethical one that should be
corrected. Provide a rationale for your response.
Assess the levels of security deficiencies inherent in the
Brazilian Federal Data Processing Service original enterprise architecture.
Conclude whether or not Brazil could have previously considered its current
problem and built an original architecture that would have prevented the
problem in question. Provide a rationale for your response.
Evaluate the quality of the Brazilian Federal Data Processing
Service’s proposed architecture plan geared toward solving the security
problem. Suggest two (2) other possible architecture solutions that the
Brazilian Federal Data Processing Service should consider. Justify your
response.
Determine whether or not one (1) of the governments or
intelligence agencies that you researched has taken precautions to avoid a
security breach similar to the one that the Brazilian Federal Data Processing Service
had experienced. If this government organization or intelligence agency has
taken precautions to avoid a similar security breach, provide one (1) example
of such a precaution. If this government organization or intelligence agency
has not taken precautions to avoid a similar security breach, recommend one (1)
action that it can take in order to avoid a similar security breach.
