...Top Six Data Breach Trends for 2014 April 28, 2014 Article Reference Griffin, Joel. "Top six data breach trends for 2014." SecurityInfoWatch.com. N.p., 10 Jan. 2014. Web. 29 Apr. 2014. Summary This class has been absolutely phenomenal. I have been in the tech industry for about 5-6 years now and just recently started developing iOS apps and websites about 1-2 years ago and am still new and learning each and every day, but I haven’t really ever enjoyed a class this much. I have been reading articles each week for these research papers that are required weekly and due to the requirement of breaking them down and performing a “dive deep” on them, I have really been able to relate what we are learning in school to actual life and real life situations. The article that I choose for this week is from Security Info Watch and it discusses the future of data breaches this year and things that we could encounter over the time frame of this year and next decade as technology continues to grow at the rate it is growing. It compare the big breach with Target and aligns it to other situations that are possibilities with the way we use our technology. One of the big theories that the article through out was that we are going to run into issues with all of this cloud computing and big data and that society is very vulnerable to a big data cloud breach. Apple has started the whole ball rolling with cloud computing storing all of your...

...The Company Profile: Part of the Bid Process A business presentation is part of the bid process. It comes after you perform a bid/no-bid analysis, and after the decision to send a letter of intent (LOI). Writing the company profile is part of the offer you submit to respond to the call for tender. The content of the offer (and the content of the company profile) usually depend on the call for tender and on the buyer's needs/requirements. The content of the offer is sometimes organized beforehand by the buyer. The buyer may give bidders an official document with all the required criteria and documents. Here are examples of possible criteria for the company profile: official criteria company name head office address company status quantitative criteria number of employees sales figures other financial figures qualitative criteria references success stories certifications Writing a bid and particularly a company profile requires preliminary work: Acquaint yourself with the documents. Try to analyze your business from a strategic point of view. Think about all the components and ask yourself if you're the right applicant. If the answer is "yes," you're ready! Why Write a Company Profile for a Bid? Writing a business profile for a bid is useful for introducing your company to the buyer and creating a positive impression. The buyer must know who you are, whether you're the company that best fits to its call for tenders, and if it can trust you. So...

...Identify the main threats to the security of people, property and premises in a chosen public service People, premises and property: There are many threats to people, premises and property. This distinguishes from accidentally induced threats where there is no deliberate malicious intent to induce damage Whilst all threats aim to cause damage to people, premises or property the type of damage varies. Therefore it is important to understand the objectives of the individual/individuals responsible for inducing the threat. Often this will be done through a terror campaign aimed at causing as much fear as possible. However whilst often indiscriminate there will likely be a particular target it is unlikely that an act terrorism is random, it is more likely strategic as part of a campaign. Therefore for many countries that are at threat from terrorism they have to take into account for many building the threat from terrorism. Therefore it is important to understand the possible objectives behind each threat as they often determine the nature of the threat and its scale Tactics and targets: There are a multitude of different tactics that can be employed to escalate or more precisely use a threat. The sort of threat it is also determines the tactics that will be used. Of course he target itself is determined by who is doing it and the objectives they have, a group anarchists and a group of environmentalist will not have the same target. Therefore all threats to people, premises...

...Lab 2 – CSEC630 1. When running Snort IDS why might there be no alerts? When using Snort IDS, there are several modes that if configured properly, will generate alerts. Alerts are set by the user within the command prompt when initiating a rule set. There are five alerting options available with Snort IDS. According to (Roesch, 1999), Alerts may either be sent to syslog, logged to an alert text file in two different formats, or sent as Win-Popup messages using the Samba smbclient program. If there has been no alerts, the selected rule set was set may not have been enabled by the user. Another scenario where alerts may not occur is when another task is being performed. According to (Roesch, 1999) when alerting is unnecessary or inappropriate, such as when network penetrations tests are being performed. 2. If we only went to a few web sites, why are there so many alerts? Snort IDS performs numerous functions that would generate an alert. Alerts are generated based on any suspicious network activity. Although a user may have only visited 5 sites, snort may have generated 12 or more alerts that were generated due to anomalies detected from the 5 sites visited. 3. What are the advantages of logging more information to the alerts file? The advantage of logging additional information within the alerts file is that it can provide additional information as to the origination or source of what caused the alert. If the administrator is better informed on the...

...Running Head: ANALYZING MESSAGES Analyzing Messages Jonell Benson COMM/470 September 27, 2010 Susan Corliss Analyzing Messages The ability to compose, send and receive a message requires awareness and communication by both the sender and receiver. The sender should be aware of the tone of the message that is being composed and rather or not the point of the message is made. The receiver should be open to feedback both positive and negative, and be able to determine the difference between the two. Communication is critical when sending and receiving messages. How a message is created and received determines how others view it. Framing is the essence of targeting a communication to a specific audience (Raffoni, 2009, p. 3). Messages are informative and persuasive. A message is a form of communication between the receiver and sender that articulates the sender’s thoughts and opinions. Messages explain information and are generally used to inform, persuade or seek action from the receiver. Once a message is received the receiver should be able to fully comprehend the message and determine the intent of the message. Persuasion messages are sent with the intent to alter the receiver’s thoughts, and opinions. Action Messages encourage the receiver to perform specifically. This essay will further describe three messages and the response to one message as it relates to communication feedback.

...the organization and without a thorough analysis of its external and internal environment. Analyzing Organization Goals and Objectives Organizations must have clearly articulated goals and objectives in order to channel the efforts of individuals throughout the organization toward common ends. Goals and objectives also provide a means of allocating resources effectively. A firm’s vision, Mission, and strategic objectives form a hierarchy of goals that range from broad statements of intent and bases for competitive advantage to specific, measurable strategic objectives. Analyzing the External Environment Managers must monitor and scan the environment as well as analyze competitors. Such information is critical in determining the opportunity and threats in the external environment. We provide two frameworks of the external environment. First, the general environment consist of several elements, such as demographic, technological, and economic segments, form which key trends and events can have a dramatic impact on the firm. Second, the industry environment consists of competitors and other organizations that may threaten the success of a firm’s products and services. Assessing the Internal Environment Useful frameworks for analyzing a firm’s internal environment helps to identify both strengths and weaknesses that can, in part, determine how well a firm will succeed in an industry. Analyzing the strengths and relationships among the activities that constitute a firm’s value chain...

...Cisco Strategic Planning and Strategic Intent Introduction The purpose of this essay is to understand the core concepts behind strategic planning and strategic intent and then to compare and contrast those concepts in regards to the strategies of Cisco Systems Inc. Description of Theories/Core Concepts Strategic Planning Strategic planning is the process of identifying a desired future, then transforming that vision into goals or objectives, and then to establish a set of task lists or sequences to achieve the goals. Strategic planning starts with an end-state then works backwards to the organizations currents state. In general, the strategic planning process begins with identifying the mission and/or vision for the company, then setting up the goals and objectives, followed by analyzing the company’s current state, and then setting up a plan based on the current state to meet the established goals and objectives. Lastly strategic planning calls for the implementation of the plan while getting feedback and establishing controls to keep the organization on track. (Stacey, 2007) Strategic Intent Strategic intent is a different approach although there are some similarities. The main principle behind strategic intent is to establish “an obsession with winning at all levels of the organization and then sustained that obsession over the 10-20 year quest for global leadership.” (Hamel, 1989) Using Strategic Intent to provide the path ahead, organizational leaders...

...What is Art? One man’s trash may be another man’s treasure, but does this same rule apply to art? Among other things, art entices beauty through visual appeal, depth, technique and intent, and as no one person is guaranteed to see the same things as another, this can make it difficult to discern what is art, and what is not. Art is personal, but what separates the average man’s stick figure from world-renowned works comes from the artist’s intent and technique, ultimately leaving a lasting impression on its viewers, and my definition. Art: A creation that through technique and intent leaves a lasting impression on its viewers. First of all, the artist must have intent, a vision, and not just a superficial vision, but one that strives to inspire viewers and prompt questions. This comes from inspiration, and the creator’s drive to create something more than just an “object”. The Piss Christ, for instance, prompted uproar due to its content. At first glance, the picture is visually appealing, but upon further evaluation, it would seem that Jesus Christ is engulfed in what would appear to be urine, prompting questions as to the intent of artist Andres Serrano. What was he trying to say by his depiction? Was it that he is associating religion, and the idea of Christ with urine? Or was it a pessimistic world view in that we are dishonoring Christ’s sacrifice, hence the urine? Without the creator’s own take own his creation, it would appear that both could be viable explanations...

...RUNNING HEADER Can a Child Commit a Crime with Criminal Intent? Can a Child Commit a Crime with Criminal Intent? Edward W. Hargrave Forum 3 Case Study Liberty University PSYC 210 Can a Child Commit a Crime with Criminal Intent? Criminal intent by definition means, the intent to do something wrong or forbidden by law…intent refers to the state of mind accompanying an act…it is the outline of the mental pattern which is necessary to do the crime” (Criminal Intent). The question in this situation is whether it is or it is not possible for a child to commit a crime with criminal intent. I believe the answer to this particular question can be found in the argumentation within several of the factors that we have studied thus far in this course. These factors mentioned being biosocial, cognitive, and psychosocial growth. Introduction This particular little boy is considered to be in the stage of the ‘play years’, which is when children are between the ages of 2 and 6 years. As a 6-year-old child, his brain has not fully developed. The process of lateralization, which is when both the right and the left sides of the brain are being connected, has not yet been completed. The right hemisphere of the brain is engaged in reasoning, analyzing, and logical thinking and the left hemisphere of the brain is responsible for emotions, constant, and communication. According to the PowerPoint presentation, a child within this stage has insufficient muscle control along with lacking...

...methodology. Step one of the process was a round of qualitative research consisting of preparing and conducting pilot group sessions. The groups consisted of 25-50 year old housewives or heads-of-households, identified as the target consumer using Attitude and Usage (A&U) data, and helped gain the insights, behaviors and needs of this demographic. Step two of the process was a sequential round of consumer sessions where researchers used the knowledge from step one to develop themes for strategic positioning. This phase allowed researchers to get the rational and emotional benefits that the Italian-sausage-consumers are looking for: making a quick and wholesome meal that the family could enjoy together, despite their hectic schedules. By analyzing the themes of Family Connection, Clever Cooking, Confidence, Appreciation, Quick and Easy, and Tradition, the team was in a better position to decide where their company had the best opportunity to fit into the target customers’ lives. Step three of the process intelligently utilized the brand ladder diagrams in identifying and building the value proposition for Italian sausage. The core value was determined to be “Job Well Done” and the strategies were evaluated on their relevancy, emotional benefit, functional benefit, and product attributes to this value....

...Analyzing Messages Randy Koval COMM/470 April 19, 2016 Rosalind Raby Analyzing Messages When analyzing messages, the Basic Communications Model is the starting point for analyzing the communications process in terms of the intent of the sender, the needs of the receiver, and the elements of the communications environment. This paper will analyze three business related messages that one has sent or received and analyze these messages using the communication process. This analysis will include the descriptions of the purpose, sender, receiver, message, environment, technology, noise and feedback. While analyzing the messages, one will determine whether the explanations of the messages were appropriate as well as explain how the content, media and technology of the feedback are appropriate for the purpose of the audience. Message 1 (Face-to-Face) The first business related message is face to face between me and my immediate supervisor. My supervisor and I had a meeting in her office to discuss scheduling for upcoming projects which is the purpose of the message. My supervisor (sender) asked me how I (receiver) want to schedule staff accordingly in order to efficiently be able to manage the projects over the weekend. I responded with my ideas as to go about scheduling in order to efficiently staff for the projects. My supervisor then agreed with my proposal and I went on to schedule the staff after coming to our conclusions. Given the environment and purpose, the explanation...
