Cyber Security Is a Fast-Paced and Constantly Evolving and Changing Industry Discussion
reply to discussion post belowAs we know and as we have touched on many times as a class, cyber security is a fast-paced and constantly evolving and changing industry. Our CIKR is almost completely entwined within it, and that means that we will always need people to learn the cyber skills necessary to protect and defend CIKR. Something I have seen increase over the last few years, and something I hope to push for and be a part of in the future, is an increase in basic cyber training that is available for everyone and anyone, especially youth. Of course with the increase in STEM programs, this is being made more of a reality which is fantastic. There are also some intelligence agencies who are beginning to hold summer cyber camps for elementary through college-aged students which is also great. With cyber classes being made available to more and more students, and the number of open cyber jobs increasing, many of these kids have a pretty secure future- however that is a bit of a way from now in most cases.The issue is currently we have a lot of cyber job vacancies, to include within various CIKR-related positions. Another issue is training for the rest of the workforce on best cyber practices in order to protect the systems they use and have access to. Most standard Internet safety training is a brief slideshow you click through, answer a small quiz every few sections or so, and then youre done with it and most likely brain dump it when you close it out. DHS offers its own cyber security training for businesses to give to their employees, though I am under the impression it is not incredibly well known. I would love to be able to revamp the awareness programs and get these trainings and other opportunities seen and utilized so that more businesses can improve and be more aware of best cyber security practices. Many private entities are involved in CIKR and the more we can get actively engaged in these programs and really take something home from it, the better.
BUSW 390 Embry Riddle Sallys Restaurant A Successful Expanding Business Questions
9.2 – Discussion: Developing a Strategic Growth PlanSally now has won three Michelin Stars and has become the first three-star restaurant in North America. The presentation of the Michelin Award goes to those ambitious chefs and restaurants for their culinary excellence. It’s the most prestigious international culinary award presented to qualified establishments and chefs.In its fifth year of operation, the restaurant has become the number one destination for foodies from all over the world. Food critics have poured in from all over just for the opportunity to experience the delights and write about the savory treats served in Sally’s signature dish. One savory treat included a specially formulated dessert created by Sally. The desert has become so popular that many customers have requested extra take-home orders. A substantial number of patrons have asked if the dessert would ever be sold separately in markets.Annual revenue from the restaurant is approaching twenty million dollars. The business has amassed direct ownership of fifty properties located around the country in high-density cities. Sales from the table app have steadily grown to over six million dollars in annual sales through subscriptions and advertising revenue. The company has invested in using the Kitchen-to-Door food delivery and Kitchen-Vision App that combines the delivery of ready-to-cook meal packages. This venture’s return on investment (ROI) has more than paid the initial investment and shows profit-level income. The company enjoys the highest credit ratings and has outstanding loans securing the original property and the other investment properties. The loans are in their final years, with projected restaurant revenue positioning the business in a favorable position that will enable the company to redeem the commercial paper before the due date, saving 12% of the outstanding balance. You and Sally agree that it’s time to develop a growth plan.Supplemental resources: Grow Your Business (SBA)Links to an external site.Get more funding | U.S. Small Business Administration (sba.gov)Review the Business Growth Questions (DOCX).Download Business Growth Questions (DOCX).Post and ReplyThinking about the course content and the questions in the Grow Your Business document, respond to the following prompts:Identify the indicators that your business is ready to expand.Identify and explain three growth opportunities that currently exist for Sally’s business.Discuss legal requirements associated with different growth opportunities.

Americas 16 Sectors Congressional Leaders Discussion
reply to discussionThe last week of class and all the reading we covered gave me a lot to think about. Professors Minetrees long road for search and rescue was a phonemical story. As with anything, first there is an idea then the idea needs support after that congressional leaders need to buy the idea and run with it. I find it amusing that FEMA gave no support, interest, or thought. However, later, after going to Capitol Hill; FEMA was forced to buy in and lead the program now known as Urban Search and Rescue. Also, this goes back to the American dream and how anyone can make a difference. As long as they have innovative idea, plan, and support; anything is possible and we see a great example of this. Think of the Industrial Age and Elie Whitneys Cotton Gin and how this machine changed the world. Bill Gatess Microsoft and Steve Jobs creation of Apple. I go could go on forever, but the point is these ideas changed the world and impacted millions of people. We all know Americas 16 sectors of CI/KR are at risk and vulnerabilities do exist. Maybe it will take an innovative mind to fight and step-up for what they believe in and try to change the way Congress and other government leaders think. Though I do not agree with anything she does or says, AOC is trying to make a difference by making everything green. As we know, this is due to Global Warming; her ideas are great but that price tag and time frame is asinine. But you never know maybe it will work and the planet may be saved sooner. Al Gore had this idea in the 90s, but AOC used it has her campaign to get elected. Eli Musk created the electrical car Tesla and it is making waves. I think the biggest issue is, there are around 48 million people in the U.S alone; smart phones, social media, and other innovative ideas are bringing people closer than ever before. This creates a bottle neck for truth, privacy issues, and a billion issues. Hypothetically speaking if I were to become and advocate, I would focus on finding better ways to educate and make the populace more aware of cyber threats. More specifically on malware and Social Engineering. Drive by down loads lead to Trojan Horses and loss of PII and is an effect of impatience. Think about it? In 2019, information is at our fingertips; all the data is there. People are still getting vishing scams from non-legitimate banks and the IRS. I still see stories on the news, old lady gets scammed four thousand dollars. Most of the scammers want Bitcoin or Apple Pay cards, some scammers threaten to call the police to arrest the victim. How can people believe this non sense? In government facilities and IT businesses, there needs to be more awareness training and reminder signs posted of the basics and high-level information that the end user can control. This is easy stuff; stop being tricked into giving information away. Granted these policies, procedures, guidelines are there; the person in the seat is the wrong person. I wrote on many perspectives; hopefully I did not lose anyone.

16 Sectors of Cikr in The United States Discussion
reply to discussion belowI have learned many things over the past seven weeks. Things that I did not know before taking this class. I am learning more and more about our country and how things work. There are 16 sectors of CIKR in the United States. We as a country know that we have these different places, but I dont think the majority really know what can happen if one of the sectors are taken out. As we learned earlier in this class our critical infrastructures are failing. The grades we have are not even close to what they need to be. More people need to be told how poorly our countries infrastructures are and they need to be improved. Currently in the neighborhood that I live in we are pushing for better roads. My household is becoming an advocate to improve our infrastructure. We are conducted our own studies on the amount of traffic that is coming by our house and the size of the vehicles. Currently the road is not wide enough in many places for dump trucks or tractor trailers to be driving on. Plus they go to fast for the curves and force cars into the ditches. There are other places within the county were entry and exit ways from side roads do not have the proper visibility. Our county is growing and the roadways have not been restructured or improved to handle the increase of vehicular traffic. Being an advocate for this improvement we are having to bring the information to our Board of Supervisors. We are also bring this information to the Virginia Department of Transportation.

Haitian Earthquake Team Rubicon Organization Discussion
reply to discussionThis was a fantastic article and really highlights the need for advocacy when one sees a problem and has a solution to fix it. Although it took several years to hit the ground and start running, in the end, there are now 28 Urban Search and Rescue Teams around the country. This very much resembles how the Team Rubicon organization was created. Following the Haitian earthquake on January 10, 2010, two Marines watched the slow relief efforts through traditional aid organizations. Jake Wood and William McNulty decided to act by deploying to Port-Au-Prince in the following days, bringing along a team of volunteers, first responders, medical professionals and supplies. This is the definition of the tenacity needed to believe in you mission and not stop until it is accomplished. Team Rubicon is now an international disaster response non profit that not only helps the victims of a natural disaster or terrorist attack, but also helps veterans find jobs, connect with other veterans and heal. Further, Team Rubicon keeps extensive records of its volunteers and hours worked so that they can help local, state and tribal governments in applying for federal grants in order to be better prepared for future disasters. The two Marines who advocated for helping the rural or overlooked populations now have a thriving non profit that aims to help all in need, no matter the location or financial level. Organizations like this prove that it is not just the federal government who needs to help in a disastrous situation, but local non profits, volunteers and other private sector organizations need to pitch in and help with recovery.
