1. Define Risk to a business in your own words - The risk to a business would be considered as anything that would keep business from happening as business as usual. A risk could come from natural occurances to cyber attacks design to cripple the process of how a business function.

2. What would cause some Risk to be greater than others - how would you measure or score these Risks? The greater risk would be if the attack can be rebound from. I would have to rate a natural event as a greater risk especially if it is a flood or mud slide. Cyber attacks also are a great risk to operations because client information maybe stolen and this can cause life changing results. I would rank them at the top as far as damage to recovery goes.

3. In the technology growth we are in today - list 3 of the Risks that business or individuals face by doing business via the Internet. Identity thief, malware attacks, and viruses

4. How prepared are you for a disaster? How prepared do you feel most businesses are for a disaster? What could be done to minimize the effect of a natural or man-made business outage? I think that I am prepared for the risk as a use will face with the help of firewalls, anti-virus technologies, and backup of important data specific to me. Most businesses are well prepared for risk because this is somewhat the norm of doing business these days. They all use some sort of backup to systems and are deploying the help of IT departments from 3rd party outsources.

5. What are your expectations in taking this class? First is to learn that in which I do not know when it comes to security issues and solutions to the IT field. The Second thing is to get ideas on how to better protect systems and other data that are important to business needs.
