Barton should communicate in a clear tone. He must also acknowledge all of the IVK system issues. He should collaborate equally with the senior management team and his own staff. Ruben has frequently provided Barton with advice and knowledge to make key decisions. He should follow and trust what Ruben sent him in the PowerPoint slide. He must also answer any of the questions ethically. I found a great article from an ex-wallstreet analyst. https://www.cnbc.com/2016/10/12/ex-wall-street-analyst-and-ceo-how-to-have-an-insanely-productive-meeting.html What I’ve learned from this article is that Barton should not shy away from the tough questions that are asked by the analysts. He must make sure all his ideas have been “battle tested”. 2. How vulnerable is your company to a denial of service (DoS) attack or intrusion? What should be done about such vulnerabilities? …show more content…
What determines how vulnerable you are the preventative measure taken to reduce the likelihood of being a victim. IVK clearly had no proper system in place to reduce the likelihood of this attack. Barton best options are to revert back to the back-up system and lose a days worth of data or shutdown production for the 4 days. The advice given by the website above says that a company should have installed anti-virus software, install firewalls and follow good security
2. Multiple vulnerability scans of your servers on a monthly basis – Ask for the reports, they will gladly provide them for you.
To help resolve the issue it is highly critical to implement a trace route to see if all networks are intact and no network has been compromised. Next step would be to install anti-malware, anti-spyware as well as firewalls to help protect against the attacks. Other steps that could be implemented to protect against the attack would be to implement strong and lengthy passwords even consider encrypting the passwords since it correlates to sensitive data. Other safe practices that can be looked into is to have security access control measures where students and faculty have inside exposure of the website or in other words to be able to read/write and outsiders just have limited input.
The medical field is a vast land of beauty but with great beauty comes immense horror. There are many deadly viruses and diseases found in the medical field. In the novel, The Hot Zone by Richard Preston, the author discusses the many deadly viruses found in the field. The viruses are widespread due to the errors that occur when the viruses are in the presence of human beings. The effects of the errors performed by the human race include a decrease in population and wildlife. The viruses are spread in many different ways in the novel, but all are due to human mistakes.
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) of mental disorders is a widely used and popular text that lists and describes the various mental disorders and the criteria that resembles each one specifically. These series of manuals have had several major problems since their introduction and the latest edition which has yet to release still faces problems in terms of validity with the scientific community. By use of a diagnostic criterion they fail to incorporate many factors such as social influences, a scientific base, and distinction between the criteria for the different disorders. These are only a few of the problems facing the DSM but they may also be the most significant.
DoS attacks are defined as an effort to make a computer resource unavailable to its users. (Hackers usually use this type of attack on web servers for banks, credit card payment gateways or DNS root servers.) A DoS attack uses the IP address to flood the user’s network and obstruct the communication between the intended user and the victim. It has been proposed that a Shared Authentication Information (SAI) protocol could be used to offer a defense mechanism against DoS attacks, without incurring over- head at the ASN gateway and the base station.
Hackers have a multitude of tools and techniques to accomplish their goals, and as old tools and techniques become obsolete, new ones are created. Three questions regarding hacker tools and techniques are addressed here. What are the common tools used to conduct a denial of service attack (DoS)? What is a buffer overflow attack, and how does a SQL injection attack take place?
Daryl Buckmeister, CEO of The Chicken Coop, must decide whether to invest in market research, how much money to spend, and which programs to fund. His two vice presidents (of quality and marketing) have presented very different proposals.
Vulnerabilities occur when corrupted code or misconfigured hardware are on a network. This is why it is important for an organization to have an effective vulnerability assessment plan that includes regular scans of the network and annual penetration tests. These scans are very important to prevent hackers from “utilizing these flaws to gain access to your machines” (Houghton, 2003). An excellent source of information to get “summaries, technical details, remediation information, and lists of affected vendors” (US-CERT) is the Vulnerability Notes Database. Please view Appendix B for current threats.
He is not a good conflict manager; the example is that when he is dealing with Mr. Rod over some conflict he like to not talk as defensive way and frank is not a good negotiator e.g. when he was negotiating with Mr. Rod and asking him to support him by allowing him to use the senior operators in training to other junior operators on product plans the was unable in negotiating with him.
Security helps the organization meet its business objectives or mission by protecting its physical and financial resources, reputation, legal position, employees, and other tangible and intangible assets through the selection and application of appropriate safeguards. Businesses should establish roles and responsibilities of all personnel and staff members. However, a Chief Information Officer should be appointed to direct an organization’s day to day management of information assets. Supporting roles are performed by the service providers and include systems operations, whose personnel design and operate the computer systems. Each team member must be held accountable in ensuring all of the rules and policies are being followed, as well as, understanding their roles, responsibilities and functions. Organizations information processing systems are vulnerable to many threats that can inflict various types of damage that can result in significant losses (Harris, 2014). Losses can come from actions from trusted employees that defraud the system, outside hackers, or from careless data entry. The major threat to information protection is error and omissions that data entry personnel, users, system operators and programmers make. To better protect business information resources, organizations should conduct a risk analysis to see what
Unfortunately, hacktivists that were threatening DTL Power managed to penetrate our defenses and take over part of our system. This threat actor was not in our system for a long period of time but was still able to affect the uptime of our system.

iPremier once suffered a denial of service attack on 12th January 2007 that almost rendered the company’s site nonfunctional (Austin, 2007). Denial of service attack can be defined simply as an attempt to prevent the availability of computer resources to its legitimate users (Encyclopedia Britannica). This is achieved through halting an internet site or service from working efficiently, temporarily or permanently. Hackers had launched the denial of service attack on iPremier but luckily it was launched either by a script-kiddie or a competitor trying to ...
...eader, Fischer failed to protect one of the most precious resources of his organization: energy - more specifically, in this instance, his own energy. He should have delegated these duties to others, spreading the burden amongst many, instead of assuming responsibility for all of it. In essence, Fischer was performing more of a managerial role than one of leadership.
If you are considering using the Internet for a service that is absolutely time- or mission-critical, you should consider your fallback position in the event that the network is down or damaged. Microsoft has released hotfixes that address certain types of denial-of-service attacks such as SYN Flooding and giant Ping packets. Be sure to regularly watch for new Service Packs, because they offer new security enhancements that you should put on your systems.
