Defensive Counterintelligence Planning: Prunckun (2019) describes how a strong and robust defensive counterintelligence planning strategy revolves around six key principles, however, adaptations and modifications might be necessary. The formula begins with identifying and locating sensitive information in need of protection, Melendez (2019) contends that U.S. naval data like missile launch codes serve as an example of sensitive information. Second, Prunckun (2019), cites that identifying the threat agent is imperative, Melendez (2019) naval study investigated which terrorist organizations might attempt to acquire and utilize launch codes, citing the Taliban or jihadist extremists. Third, Prunckun (2019), explains how agencies must explore weaknesses or vulnerabilities to the threat, Melendez (2019) describes this in the U.S. Navy’s sheer size and screening process, exclaiming that terrorists could insert themselves into the military organization essentially slipping through the cracks. Fourth, Prunckun (2019), states that gauging the likelihood of an attack establishes a realistic framework for threat management. Melendez (2019) investigated this likelihood in the U.S. Navy fleet, indicating that well-armed ships at sea are a difficult target for terrorists. Fifth, Prunckun (2019), talks about the potential consequences a threat could have, clearly for Melendez (2019) terrorists acquiring launch codes, access to missiles, or a Navy boat would be severely adverse. Lastly, Prunckun (2019), suggests constructing a PPRR plan, a prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery plan. Melendez (2019) supports this notion, arguing that launch codes are sacred to the Navy requiring daily steps to prevent access, and preparedness initiatives to stop terrorists from gaining entry to U.S. Naval ships. Finally, Melendez (2019) claims that an armed response must be immediate, forceful, and solely intent on recovering any lost assets, utilization of special forces, seals, or delta being pertinent.
Logical Model for Threat: Prunckun (2019) begins with four board categories and two attributes for subcategories to best explain how a logical model for threat analysis is conducted, first desire, expectation, knowledge, and resources, then intent and capability. Wenjun & Lagerstrom (2019) explored threat models in cyber security, enhancing Prunckun (2019) breakdown of the logical approach. Wenjum & Lagerstrom (2019) concluded that hackers must first have the desire to commit crimes upon others before their capability to do so is imperative. Prunckun (2019) placed expectation or ability to commit such crimes into this broad category, as Wenjum & Lagerstrom (2019) confirmed, an unskilled hacker is not very dangerous. Subject matter experts describe knowledge according to Prunckun (2019), for example, a hacker who specializes in cryptocurrency will be relatively ineffective at infiltrating launch codes for a U.S. Navy vessel (Melendez, 2019). Lastly, accessibility to resources plays an interval part, Wenjum & Lagerstrom (2019), depicted the unfunded but highly skilled hacker who lacks financial support.
Defensive Counterintelligence Domains: Prunckun (2019) denotes four main defensive counterintelligence domains physical, personnel, information, and communication security to evaluate for a comprehensive strategy. Physical barriers, exemplify the purpose of counterintelligence domains, creating a visible structure to deter threats, attacks, or the idea of (Miller, 2019). Prunckun (2019) contends that examples like security doors, windows, checkpoints, safes, and CCTV loosely describe physical barriers and their wide-ranging impact on defensive counterintelligence efforts. Miller (2019) endorsed this mentality by explaining how the wall across the U.S.-Mexico border is more than just a wall, symbolizing, through a physical barrier, that America will not be taken advantage of by illegal immigrants. This student-researcher believes adamantly that a visible, impregnable, physical barrier has, and will always, represent the strongest form of deterrence amongst adversaries (Miller, 2019).
            The inclusion of the remaining three defensive counterintelligence domains beings with personnel security measures, Prunckun (2019) identifies people specific strategies like background checks, training, and citizenship as intervals. To fully trust and accept any person in the sensitive community of a U.S. federal agency’s house, a personalized background check interviewing neighbors, family, and previous employers proves worthwhile (Prunckun, 2019). Information security, the third item, accounts for an individual’s accessibility to big data, commonly described as security clearance (Prunckun, 2019). The process of vetting or evaluating a person’s potential security is similar to the personnel security process, for example, significant background checks, diving into social media, personal preferences, and bank records, summarize the tip of the iceberg (Prunckun, 2019). Lastly, communication security rounds out the list, Prunckun (2019) shows how telephone lines, digital encryption, and satellites encompass the protection of sensitive information transferred between parties. To help encapsulate this notion the Bible’s endlessly vital passages are called upon, “A wicked messenger falls into trouble, but a faithful envoy brings healing” (English Standard Version, 2001/2016 Proverbs 13:17).

You have conducted a preassesment based on the recommendations for applying for B Corp Certification, and you’ve evaluated the corporation’s current strengths and areas for improvement.
Now you need to develop a proposal for the board of directors that explains why prioritizing the triple bottom line (TBL) through working toward B Corp Certification has organizational value. You must also propose three high-impact initiatives to help strengthen the corporation’s commitment to people, planet, and profit based on your evaluations.
Directions

Part One: Justification of Benefits: Justify the value of working toward more intentionally incorporating the TBL framework into organizational decision making, specifically how ethical business practices regarding people, planet, and profit can benefit society, the environment, and the company’s profit. Specifically, address the following:

Key Components: Explain the three key components of the TBL framework and how each component benefits businesses and society.
Organizational Value: Provide a justification regarding the value and benefits of using the TBL framework to inform corporate decision making, and explain connections between the organizational mission and the organizational vision.
B Corporation Benefits: Briefly describe the organizational benefits of attaining B Corp Certification.

Part Two: Operational Recommendations: Read through the Preassessment Evaluation Summary (located in the Supporting Materials section) for each aspect of the TBL (people, profit, and planet). You will need to provide a detailed description of the initiatives that will create the needed improvement. You should note the organizational and societal value of the initiative along with the operational management techniques recommended to plan and complete each initiative. For each of your three initiatives, address the following:

Organizational behavior perspectives | Management homework help

  
Your course project is to identify potential organizational behavior problems and recommend solutions for an organization with which you are familiar. All your weekly, written papers will be course project tasks.
Early in Week 1, identify an organization you would be interested in studying. You will investigate the organizational behavior in this organization and research best practice solutions for any problems you observe. You may select your own organization, the organization of a family member, or an organization that interests you. Assume that the human resources department of your selected organization has received disappointing results on a job motivation survey administered to all employees at all levels. The results indicate that employees reported lower-than-industry-average job motivation, and management is concerned. Employee comments on the survey included the following:

My job is so boring!
My boss micromanages me but never tells me how I’m doing.
I’ve been in my position for fifteen years, but I am never allowed to provide any input about making the work better.

You have been tasked with writing a paper that reviews the theoretical perspectives relevant to the situation in your organization. In particular, you are interested in systems theory and job motivation for this week’s analysis.  Submit your three- to four-pg in APA style 
Tasks:
Write a paper addressing the following:

Summary: Identify the organization you select and provide a summary of it. What is it? What does it do? Cite research from a variety of sources, including the company’s website, social media sites, company blogs, industry and trade sources, and other sources. The summary should include the organization’s products or services, customer or client base, areas of operation or distribution, history, main competition, and current situation (whether it is an industry leader, a start-up, or a well-established corporation).
Analysis: Analyze the factors that affect job motivation and the internal and external consequences of low job motivation. At this time, you do not need to propose any solutions. Rather, you are using scholarly literature and data (e.g., observations, discussions, events, outcomes, reports, etc.) from your organization to analyze factors and consequences related to job motivation

CIS 333 Week 8 Assignment 2 – Identifying Potential Risk, Response and Recovery
In Assignment 1, a videogame development company recently hired you as an Information Security Engineer. After viewing a growing number of reports detailing malicious activity, the CIO requested that you draft a report in which you identify potential malicious attacks and threats specific to your organization. She asked you to include a brief explanation of each item and the potential impact it could have on the organization.
After reviewing your report, the CIO requests that you develop a follow-up plan detailing a strategy for addressing all risks (i.e., risk mitigation, risk assignment, risk acceptance, or risk avoidance) identified in Assignment 1. Further, your plan should identify controls (i.e., administrative, preventative, detective, and corrective) that the company will use to mitigate each risk previously identified.
Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:
1.      For each of the three (3) or more malicious attacks and / or threats that you identified in Assignment 1, choose a strategy for addressing the associated risk (i.e., risk mitigation, risk assignment, risk acceptance, or risk avoidance). Explain your rationale.
2.      For each of the three (3) or more malicious attacks and / or threats identified in Assignment 1, develop potential controls (i.e., administrative, preventative, detective, and corrective) that the company could use to mitigate each associated risk.
3.      Explain in detail why you believe the risk management, control identification, and selection processes are so important, specifically in this organization.
4.      Draft a one (1) page Executive Summary that details your strategies and recommendations to the CIO (Note: The Executive Summary is included in the assignment’s length requirements).

HIS 101 CCC Born a Crime Paper

Write a 2.5-4 page paper on ONE of the prompts below. Your paper must make use of at least six specific examples from at least three different chapters.  This is a book analysis paper.  Do not include information from outside sources.1.) As explained in Born a Crime, how did apartheid function in South Africa.  Your essay should deal in detail with specifics such as racial categorization, language, labor, etc.  What was so unique about Trevor Noah’s family situation?2.) By the time Trevor Noah was high school age, the apartheid system was over, but its legacies lingered.  His mother told him “You cannot blame anyone else for what you do.  You cannot blame your past for who you are.  You are responsible for you.  You make your own choices.”  But Noah then writes: “We were victims, me and my mom, Andrew and Isaac.  Victims of apartheid. Victims of abuse.” (271)  How did the legacy of apartheid impact Trevor Noah’s life growing up in South Africa?  What disadvantages did he face?3.) Patricia Noah (Trevor’s mom) faced both sexism and racism as she tried to carve out an independent existence in apartheid and post-apartheid South Africa.  What challenges did she face to be independent from her family, economically independent, and achieve freedom of mobility in a society that was the opposite of free.  How successful was she?Citing SourcesThis is a one source book analysis paper. Outside sources are not necessary. Your paper must make use of at least six specific examples from at least three different chapters. Page number citations are required for both direct quotes and paraphrasing.Example 1: Noah visited his father to reconnect with him.  “As soon as I arrived I started peppering him with questions. ‘Where are your from? Where did you go to school? Why did you do this? How did you that?’  He started getting visibly irritated.” (110)Example 2: Noah visited his father to reconnect with him, but his dad became irritated when he asked question after question. (110)In example 1, I set up the quote about the visit and then I use a direct quote from the book followed by a page number reference. Note also how use a double quote (“‘ ‘”) because there is a quote within a quote.  In example 2 I set up the visit and then paraphrase the quote.  Even though I am not directly quoting, I still include a page number reference because I am referring to a specific idea from a specific place in the book.
