...Prestige Telephone Company Question 1: Appraise the results of operations of Prestige Data Services (PDS). Is the subsidiary really a problem to Prestige Telephone Company (PTC)? Consider carefully the differences between the reported costs and costs relevant for decisions that Daniel Rowe is considering. The current data indicate that the PDS is in operating loss. And going by the presented data, yes, PDS is a problem to PTC at this point of time. And this in spite of many major costs being absorbed by PTC while charging a sum towards corporate services to PDS. However the way data was collected, costs calculated and presented could be different from the actual reality. And moreover the trend in the 3 months is that the commercial sales is going up (marginally though) and losses are reducing. Also it is reported that PDS is operating with un-used capacity (which might be another reason for the projected loss). Though PDS is in loss currently, (a) a re-structuring of the cost accounting methods, (b) more marketing activities to increase sales and thereby using the free capacity available, (c) reducing the staff count by reducing the number of shifts, could see PDS being profitable in the long run. Shutting down vs. restructuring PDS The decision has to be based on the ROI and the opportunity cost. By closing down PDS, the lost (customer) sales are the opportunity cost. But the short term benefits could be from the sale of equipment, savings from resource cost, rental...

...REDEFINING COMPUTERS BY: LINCOLN NNAMDI CUMMINGS (133151009) Noah and his three sons built the ark using gopher wood.300ft long and 200ft wide, it stood 3 stories high and was built in 55 years (Genesis 6:14-16). The Titanic on the other hand was built in 2 years and 2 months even though they a relatively the same size. So comparably, the time Noah used to build The Ark could have been used to build 27 Titanics. What caused the time usage difference was the introduction of technology. The usage of computers (by computers I don’t just mean a rectangular box connected to a system unit with a mouse and a keyboard.) made productivity rate high. The first computers were used in building the pyramid in Ancient Egypt (constructed 2630 BCE–2611 BCE). The Khufu Pyramid stands 449ft high and is 755ft in width. The over 300,000 laborers used tools such as the plumb bob (a tool similar to a modern-day crane) which made a humanly impossible task possible. Throughout history, several man-made devices such as the abacus and slide rules have been built to aid people in calculating data. The original definition of a computer was any person who performed computation or was required to compute data as an integral part of their job. A computer is now universally defined as “a programmable “electronic device” that stores and processes data into meaningful information. In 1946, John Persper Eckert and John .W. Mauchly built the first digital computer (ENIAC) using vacuum tubes. Von Neumann designed...

...1. What is the difference between a. and a. One-month notice period before employee termination. High Moderate Significant Unauthorized data access or exfiltration by the departing employee. When an employee is terminated, they are given a one-month notice period as required by law. During this time, the employee retains full access to company information and systems according to their role. This situation poses a significant risk to the company, as the employee could potentially misuse their access to sensitive data. While this is taking place there is a compensating control in place where monitoring is conducted on two dimensions via EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response), tracking bandwidth usage and monitoring email traffic for unusual activity....

...OVERVIEW Physical security is primarily concerned with restricting physical access by unauthorized people (commonly interpreted as intruders) to controlled facilities, although there are other considerations and situations in which physical security measures are valuable (for example, limiting access within a facility and/or to specific assets and controls to reduce physical incidents such as fires). Security unavoidably incurs costs and, in reality, it can never be perfect or complete - in other words, security can reduce but cannot entirely eliminate risks. Given that controls are imperfect, strong physical security applies using appropriate combinations of overlapping and complementary controls. For instance, physical access controls for protected facilities are generally intended to: • deter potential intruders (e.g. warning signs and perimeter markings); • distinguish authorized from unauthorized people (e.g. using pass cards/badges and keys) • delay and ideally prevent intrusion attempts (e.g. strong walls, door locks and safes); • detect intrusions and monitor/record intruders (e.g. intruder alarms and CCTV systems); and • trigger appropriate incident responses (e.g. by security guards and police). It is up to security designers to balance security controls against risks, taking into account the costs of specifying, developing, testing, implementing, using, managing, monitoring and maintaining the controls. Physical access control is a matter of who, where, and...

...In 1969, Leonard Kleinrock , one of the chief scientists of the original Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET) which seeded the Internet, said: “As of now, computer networks are still in their infancy, but as they grow up and become sophisticated, we will probably see the spread of „computer utilities‟ which, like present electric and telephone utilities, will service individual homes and offices across the country.” This vision of computing utilities based on a service provisioning model anticipated the massive transformation of the entire computing industry in the 21st century whereby computing services will be readily available on demand, like other utility services available in today’s society. Similarly, users (consumers) need to pay providers only when they access the computing services. In addition, consumers no longer need to invest heavily or encounter difficulties in building and maintaining complex IT infrastructure. In such a model, users access services based on their requirements without regard to where the services are hosted. This model has been referred to as utility computing, or recently as Cloud computing . The latter term denotes the infrastructure as a “Cloud” from which businesses and users can access applications as services from anywhere in the world on demand. Hence, Cloud computing can be classified as a new paradigm for the dynamic provisioning of computing services supported by state-of-the-art data centers that usually employ Virtual...
