Title of article: Disaster at a University: A Case Study in Information Security
Information technology has been increasing in the online business market. This has been creating several opportunities for businesses. However, with several opportunities, various risks and threats have been combined with it. Information security has been the most growing security issues in the IT field. This paper has done significant researches in various data security issues in the IT field. This paper has discussed abut several managerial actives for ensuring IT data management issues in the business.
This paper has done secondary approach towards review of existing literature on management role in IT industry. Data has been collected from several online journals and databases. Recent journals after 2012 have been taken for collecting data and information related to IT security issues. Non-academic papers have been rejected for reliability and validity purposes.
Results and Conclusion:
After analysing data, various organization activates have been identified for ensuring security of data and Information. Installation of firewalls and VPN have been common approach for the companies for ensuring security of data. An effective information security governance policy have been implemented in several organization for ensuring security f data and information.

The Strength and Weakness, or issues and opportunities that you have discovered by studying this paper:
The paper has been able to research about various aspects of security issues in the IT management of data. Proper review of existing literature has been done. The secondary approach of the data collection has been able to find sensible data and information regarding IT data management issues. However, there have been some weaknesses including some keyword are used that may lead to some literature untouched (Soomro, Shah and Ahmed 2016). No alternative search protocol have been used. The paper has been published in English language only that might limits the knowledge of readers of other lingual activities. The future work of the researchers might get easy with the study of this paper as illustration of each security points have been provided.
This paper has been used as there has been an illustrated details about all the security concerns in IT data management issues. This paper has been able to identify al security concerns in the IT data management issues and so it is relevant to the selected topic. This paper has been also able to properly analyse data and provide proper solutions to data security issues those could be utilized for enhancing the securities.
Title of article: Managing Security Requirements in Practice: A Case Study
Smart grid has been a technological innovation that help in improving reliability, efficiency, economics and sustainability of electricity services. However, there have been several challenges in the smart grid including managing smart meters, power assets and managing huge amount of data. This paper has helped in building a hierarchical framework for securing data and information over the cloud.
The research has used secondary methods for data collection process. Data has been collected from secondary sources including online journals, articles and government database. . Recent journals after 2012 have been taken for collecting data and information related to smart grid security issues. Non-academic papers have been rejected for reliability and validity purposes.
Results and Conclusion:
This paper has described about critical issues in the smart grid cloud computing. The use of the cloud computing in the smart grid has been described. The researcher has not able to mention the security solutions in the paper in a practical way. The use of cryptography in the context has not been properly described in the report.
The Strength and Weakness, or issues and opportunities that you have discovered by studying this paper:
This paper has described about the benefits of the smart grid. The IT management in the smart grid has been analysed properly. The logical component of the smart grid process has been described in the paper ( Baek et al. 2015). The information flow in the smart grid systems has been explained. The paper has not able to minimize the security issues identified in the paper. The encryption policy in the smart grid concept in cloud environment has been discussed in the paper that might help in minimizing security challenges in the smart grid.
Annotated Bibliography 3
