...Below is my quantitative data findings on the threats and vulnerabilities our qualitative research founded in our look into your company. First we will provide some recent attacks that have happened to other companies. Second we will let you know how likely the attack is to occur at your company. Third we will provide you the real number data to support the idea if you should spend money or not on improving your protection from this type of attack. Spoofing: In 2006 banks were targeted by attackers with a spoofing attack. An article written by McMillan (2006) stated that the attackers were able to hack into the banks' ISP servers and redirect traffic from the legitimate banks' websites to a bogus server. The attackers were able to affect about 20 customers by being able to get them to enter in PINs and other personal information (para. 2). There is an article by Zetter (2012) in which a mathematician noticed that several technology companies and other types of companies used a weak DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) that he was able to break and then use to pretend to be high up personnel in that company. In our report we noted you had in-house servers and the firewalls seem properly configured for outside attacks. In 2014, AOL had its mail service attacked, and the attackers used the email address book to send spam to everyone in the address book as the owner of the email. Spoofing is still a viable attack and even with properly configured network and validation methods human...

...Risk Management Principles CMGT/430 INTRODUCTION Riordan Manufacturing is a company that is commited to handling their business in an ethical and logical manner. In order to provide the proper risk management plan for the company there needs to be a conference with all of management and stakeholders to get an oversight on the company and what it needs for mitigation control and risk management.

Strenghts Allows one to project the future back into the present to help articulate the strategies necessary to achieve the point in future the scenario is conducive to success or help implement strategies to avoid the scenario in cases where it is not going to be successful - Allow a shared view of the future to be developed - Provide the oportunity for an organization to consider how they want to be positioned in that future - Promotes flexibility and responsiveness - Permit to see the mayor drivers of change: globalisation, economics, technology, - It can be used to do Risk assesment, identify early warning indicators and decide how will we respond. Weakness Simplification of the future: Difficult to predict the future as the number of variables used maybe less |than required for a better plan. Scenario planning is expensive because it requires a huge commitment of time: time consumer and there are necesary consultants Dificult to convince people about how useful could be to do the exercise, because it doesn't affect their daily job It could be too focused in the internal problems, how the participants think. A financial guy will be centered in things that affectsthe funtional area, problems that he understand and control It can be ambiguous, because it requires to think...

...potential in the industry, where profit potential is measured in terms of long-run return on investment capital. The six forces driving industry competition: 1) Threat of New Entrants New entrants to an industry typically bring to it new capacity, a desire to gain market share, and substantial resources, they are therefore, threats to an established corporation. The threat of entry depends on the presence of entry barriers and the reaction that can be expected from existing competitors. Entry barrier is an obstruction that makes it difficult for a company to enter an industry. Some possible barriers to entry are: * Economic of Scale * Product Differentiation * Capital Requirements * Switching Costs * Access to Distribution Channels. * Cost Disadvantages Independent in Size * Government Policy 2) Rivalry Among Existing Firms A competitive move by one fir can be expected to have noticeable effect on its competitors and thus may cause retaliation or counter efforts. According to porter, intense rivalry is related to the presence of several factors, including: * Number of Competitors * Rate of Industry Growth * Product or Service Characteristics * Amount of Fixed Costs * Capacity * Height of Exit Barriers * Diversity of Rivals 3) Threat of Substitute Products or Services Substitute products are those products that appear to be different...

It may be a change in average weather conditions or the distribution of events around that average. Climate change may be limited to a specific region or may occur across the whole Earth. Nowadays the impact of the climate change can be seen around the globe - seasons are shifting, temperatures are climbing and sea levels are rising. And meanwhile, our planet must still supply us – and all living things – with air, water, food and safe places to live. Weather related consequences, caused by climate change, present challenges that threaten the understanding of extreme weather and natural disaster related damages. Many natural disasters (like floods, earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions) all around the world have showed that people are now exposed to extreme weather events. The lack of financial preparation to face the risk of extreme weather events is particular concern at the moment. Many governments...

...Christine Lowe 3-1-14 NRS-429 Heritage Assesment The first defense against the "if" factor is to take charge of your health and learn what you need to do, and when you need to do it, to keep your body running at tiptop shape. After all, when you buy a car, you maintain it according to schedule. So why not have a similar schedule to maintain your body (Danoff 2013)? This statement makes a great point when addressing health maintenance. Health maintenance should be a priority for all of us, it allows us to do preventive medicine such as annual physicals, vaccines, safe sex, and a huge array of other health preventions. So often now primary physicians are increasing the push for maintaining healthiness. When I visit the doctor, the routine is to ask a variety of screening questions that it prompts the provider to offer health maintenance to each patient. Whether I’m over due for annual bloodwork, mammogram, or pap-smear these items are always discussed during any visits. Keeping their patients healthy hopefully will eventually allow the insurance companies to one day lower premiums. Health protection refers to "ensuring safe food and water supplies, providing advice to national food and drug safety regulators, protecting people from environmental threats, and having a regulatory framework for controlling infectious diseases in place. Ensuring proper food handling in restaurants and establishing smoke-free bylaws are examples of health protection...

...Dioxin, Furans, & PCB Emission for Residential Trash Burning MOS 5425 Advanced Toxicology Dr. Brooks McPhail October 7, 2014 Dioxin, Furans, & PCB Emission for Residential Trash Burning In the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimated in 2006 Americans generated 300 million tons, 12.5 percent burned in incinerators. Countless of the hundreds of thousands of tons are burned in residential backyard burn barrels in rural areas, are never accounted for. To the residential homeowner burning trash has been for centuries the means of disposing refuse in areas that do not have organized garbage collection. As the modern industrial chemical production continues to increase, making products that make everyday life in the modern world more accessible, burning that waste stream at low temperatures products highly toxic compounds releasing not only in the air via smoke but also in ash runoff, and smoke fume condensation on possible food sources. Countless toxicological studies have been conducted on dioxins, furans and polychlorinated biphenyl (PCBs). That information will be leveraged here to compliment the toxicity and pollutant effects of these chemicals, yet the emphasis is not political, environmental, nor humanitarian. It is about highlighting the non-industrial emissions, choices in some cases, and for others the realization, that these toxic chemicals are a result of disposing product we receive from the modern industrialized world. Dioxins...

...Information Security Management RISK ASSESMENT Information systems have long been at some risk from malicious actions or inadvertent user errors and from natural and man-made disasters. In recent years, systems have become more susceptible to these threats because computers have become more interconnected and, thus, more interdependent and accessible to a larger number of individuals. In addition, the number of individuals with computer skills is increasing, and intrusion, or “hacking,” techniques are becoming more widely known via the Internet and other media. Arisk assessment is not about creating huge amounts of paperwork , but rather about identifying sensible measures to control the risks in your workplace. You are probably already taking steps to protect your employees, but your risk assessment will help you decide whether you have covered all you need to. Think about how accidents and ill health could happen and concentrate on real risks – those that are most likely and which will cause the most harm. For some risks, other regulations require particular control measures. Your assessment can help you identify where you need to look at certain risks and these particular control measures in more detail. These control measures do not have to be assessed separately but can be considered as part of, or an extension of, your overall risk assessment. Although all elements of the risk management cycle are important, risk assessments provide the foundation for other...
