...are two types of environments, open insecure, and secure. The web site will be one or the other. It either has security or it has no security at all. After searching the internet I was unable to divulge any web sites that provided information as to the benefits of an open environment. This leads me to believe that there are no benefits to it at all. After thinking about it the only benefit I could even conceive would be faster access within the web site from page to page. I feel that most people would trade this for the security of a secure site. Even home computers have security, such as firewalls, and virus protection on their computers. The consequences of having an open environment are important ones. Viruses can be placed on the system which can cause the entire computer system to crash. Hackers can get into the system and obtain personal information from the site that can lead to identity thief. Hackers can obtain email lists from the site and send spam mail which would appear to come from the web site. Hackers can also place viruses on the web site, or steal banking information for customers. The web site could not be accessed if hackers were to place a virus that caused a “denial of service”. An overly secure web site can have benefits if the site is only open for a select group of people. The Department of Defense for example has an overly secure web site. They have information on the web site, much of which is private, which has to be protected from the...

...Assignment 2: Critical Infrastructure Protection Strayer University Introduction In the wake of a terrorist attack, natural disaster, or emergency, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is prepared to respond. DHS primary responsibilities are combatting terrorism, securing boarders, enforcing immigration laws, safeguarding cyberspace, and responding to natural disasters. Coordination with the federal response teams and partnerships with local, state, and private sectors, enhance the DHS response tactics in a national emergency. Department of Homeland Security Mission, Operations, and Responsibilities The Department of Homeland Security’s mission is to keep America safe, protected, and resilient from various elements that threaten the country. As identified by (dhs.gov, 2013) DHS has three key concepts that strategies are based upon security, resilience, and customs and exchange. The process that defines homeland security missions and incorporates the key concepts is the Quadrennial Homeland Security Review (QHSR). DHS missions are spread across the enterprise and do not only cover DHS. The delegated missions define in detail how to prevent, protect, respond, recover, secure, ensure resilience, and facilitate customs and exchange as noted by (dhs.gov, 2013). Department of Homeland Security operations encompass five core objectives. The objectives covered under DHS are prevention of terrorism and enhancing security; secure and manage our boarders; enforce and administer...

...interaction of faculty and students and the responsibility of learning now shifted to the learners. Also the faculty’s role changed to content providers and facilitator of learning. The students, faculties and educators should equip themselves to adapt to new roles to harness the benefits of using Technology in education. Many research studies highlight the inadequacies in e-learning systems resulting in disengagement of students from the learning process [1]. The researchers are skeptical about the self directed abilities of learners and report that research gap exists towards finding solutions to these problems [11]. This paper introduces a self regulating e-learning framework that provides solutions to the problems discussed. It is based on a Continuous Improvement Model as proposed by Deming who was instrumental for introducing TQM, a quality management concept in USA and Japan in the post war world. The Model facilitates faculties to design and deploy their course content in an e-learning website. Provisions are given to collect and analyze feedbacks...

...sufficiently highlighted in the research literature. The importance of mission statements to the effective strategic management of business organizations is well documented in the literature but it is quite surprising that minimal attention has been paid to the role of mission statements of socially responsible organizations. This paper attempts to fill this gap in the literature. It focuses on the socially responsible firms, which are listed in the Business Ethics' 100 Best Corporate Citizens Index, by selecting the firms whose mission statements could be seen clearly from their corporate websites. The mission statements are then analyzed to determine their components and the differences between the firms. Keywords: Mission Statement, social responsibility, content analysis It becomes apparent when appraising the some definitions of the mission concept is regarded as multidimensional concept by virtually all authors. Further, variations in conceptualization and the specific words used notwithstanding, it is possible to identify common elements that underlie most definitions of the concept. In contemporary literature especially different mission concept and definition were emphasized. These are (Sidhu, 2003;441): Company mission is defined as the fundamental purpose that sets a firm apart from the other firms of its type and identifies the scope of its operations in product and market terms (Pearce and Robinson 1991). Mission is the fundamental purpose and character of the organization...
