The value chain model identifies primary and support activities within the organization relevant to the transformation process.What is the focus and principle objective of industry analysis applied to IS? Select two of the five competitive forces (new entrants, substitute products or services, bargaining power of buyers, bargaining power of suppliers, and the rivalry between existing competitors), and offer examples of firms that you believe have been able to influence those two forces by way of an IT-dependent strategic initiative. Justify your answers, and comment on the postings of your peers.Describe the focus and principle objectives of value chain analysis applied to IS. Why is it important to contextualize the value chain? Provide two examples of firms that you think have been able to create competitive advantage using IS. Identify the primary activities most affected by IS in these firms.For each barrier to erosion (IT resources, IT project, complementary resources, and preemption barriers), provide an example of an IT-dependent strategic initiative that, in your opinion, leverages the barrier. Discuss which response-lag drivers underpin the barriers to erosion in your examples. How do you think the lag can be shortened? Do you think this will reflect on the profit line? Why or why not?

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Case Study – The Google Attack, 20201Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are now commonplace. A DDoS attack will delay or fully block your online services—email, blogs, and everything else that connects to the internet—whether you’re a small non-profit or a large multinational corporation. Furthermore, DDoS attacks are often used to divert your attention away from other illegal activities, such as data manipulation or network infiltration.The first recorded DDoS attack took place in 1996, when Panix, now one of the oldest internet service providers, was taken down for several days by a SYN flood, a tactic that has since become a standard DDoS attack. DDoS attacks become more frequent over the next two years, and Cisco estimates that the overall number of DDoS attacks will double from 7.9 million in 2018 to over 15 million by 2023.Total DDoS AttacksThe Google AttackGoogle’s Threat Analysis Group (TAG) published a blog update on October 16, 2020, explaining how threats and threat actors are adapting their strategies in light of the 2020 US election. A notice was snuck in at the end of the post by the company:In 2017, our Security Reliability Engineering team measured a record-breaking UDP amplification attack sourced out of several Chinese ISPs (ASNs 4134, 4837, 58453, and 9394), which remains the largest bandwidth attack of which we are aware.The assault on thousands of Google IP addresses, launched from three Chinese ISPs, lasted six months and peaked at a breath-taking 2.5 Tbps. Damian Menscher, a Google Security Reliability Engineer, wrote:The attacker used several networks to spoof 167 Mpps (millions of packets per second) to 180,000 exposed CLDAP, DNS, and SMTP servers, which would then send large responses to us. This demonstrates the volumes a well-resourced attacker can achieve. This was four times larger than the record-breaking 623 Gbps attack from the Mirai botnet a year earlier.Case Discussion Questions:2. Why such a huge company like Google will be a target for DDoS?
