Journey to International Human Resources Management – written by Sandra Slopinski

Rihanna Hernandez was so excited to have landed the Human Resources Consultant job at a top well known Global company! The interview process had been rigorous and took four rounds of interviews and testing to finally have the offer of employment from the Fiction Inc. division in Vancouver! The head office was located in Hollywood, California and they had locations in Texas, and New York, as well as Japan, and Australia. This new job would transition Rihanna from Domestic Human Resources Management, from which she had four years of experience, into International Human Resources Management. She knew this job would be far more complex and challenging working in a multinational context.

Rihanna reported to work at the head office extra early before 8:00 am to ensure she was not late on her first day. She had taken the public transportation earlier last week to make sure she knew how to get to the office building in Vancouver. She was looking very forward to meeting her colleagues and getting to know everyone. She had done her research about the business online before her interviews started and knew some of the key public things about Fiction Inc. which is a movie production company specializing in animation films.

Two months later Rihanna was run off her feet with the workload and all of the learning at a new company. Another project just landed on her desk that involved hiring production assistants who would work in Paris at MOWE Animation. Fiction had just signed an International Joint Venture with MOW Animation. Fiction Inc. was really expanding and had just acquired a movie company in Scotland called HOPSCOTCH Films in Glasgow as well. She needed to hire three new assistants for Paris and five for Scotland. She knew of about two employees at the Vancouver location that would be really interested in getting a global assignment. Perhaps some staff members would want the opportunity for a promotion to production assistant as well.

Rihanna went to get a coffee in the staff lounge and her colleague Brian could see she was looking a bit stressed. “What is going on?”, Brian asked.

Rihanna explained the situation with the new human resources projects.

“I think Kyle would be great for the Paris production assistant job! He has that same job here already and does such good work.” Brian said, supporting Kyle for this international assignment.

“Right, I know Kyle,” Rihanna said, “his kids go to school with my daughter and I know his wife.”

“I will have to contact Kyle.” Rihanna thanked Brian for his help and walked back to her desk and felt slightly better with some ideas for international staffing brewing in her mind. She sat down and took a sip of her coffee and looked out the window. At least she had a window in her office, she thought.

Rihanna was required to have “boots on the ground”, the new production assistants in place and on site by September 1st. That meant she had a month and a half to get going on this project, and in the middle of a heat wave in British Columbia. She had a lot to think about and refresh her mind on IHRM and international staffing, recruitment, and selection. She knew that sometimes the expatriate assignments fail and leave the employee and the company in a rough spot that can get expensive. Rihanna remembered a memo from the Vice President about the need to have more women in the production positions as well. She had also heard that there was a shortage of qualified animation production assistants in Scotland when the news of the acquisition was shared with her which was well after the start of the acquisition process. Right now, HOPSCOTCH Films focused on television, documentaries, and feature films. She wondered how to staff for those roles after the acquisition of that company. She wondered what approach to staffing she should take and what types of international assignments should be used. She knew that she had to avoid the expatriate staffing failures as she was still new to this job herself and needed to be successful. She knew she had to prove herself to her new boss.

Rihanna needed to come up with a plan, and fast.

Explain what Rihanna should do between now and the end of September to make sure everything runs smoothly for herself, the company, and the eight new production assistants. Include what Rihanna will need to ensure she does for International Human Resources Management and International Staffing and Selection. Also include some of the disadvantages and issues she will want to be aware of and ensure that they are avoided so she can be successful on this project.

Enterprise Network Security. Conduct a Policy Gap Analysis.

Enterprise Network Security

[MUSIC]

Good news: The media and entertainment company you work for has decided to acquire a media streaming company to complement the business. That means there’s a need to assess the financial strength and operational capabilities of the target company, including cybersecurity. The acquisition team needs to take a look at everything—operating systems, network infrastructure, data protection mechanisms, applications, patch levels, and all technology components to assess systems integration between the two companies. You are the cybersecurity engineering architect who will develop a strategy to mitigate risk, protect systems, and prevent threats to data. Your scope includes the enterprise network, data, architecture, and technology capabilities, operating systems, applications, and security processes of the streaming company.

Although the streaming company’s technology leader did not provide information on any system or trusted environments, you suspected that the company may be using older unsupported versions of Microsoft Windows and Adobe Acrobat. Another challenge: You know that your media and entertainment company doesn’t have the staff with the technical know-how, to assess the security of a technology-oriented streaming company. You will have to be detail-oriented and specific with staff members, to ensure the most important aspects of the integration of the two companies will be covered. You will develop a cybersecurity for a successful acquisition report that details the cybersecurity posture of the target company, trusted mechanisms to incorporate, and remedies to implement, to prevent threats and exploits. The report will be part of the larger assessment report the leaders of the acquisition will present to executives of both companies.

Businesses involved in mergers and acquisitions must exercise due diligence in ensuring that the technology environment of the future organization is robust and adequately protects their information assets and intellectual property. Such an effort requires time and open sharing to understand the physical locations, computing environment, and any gaps to address. Lack of information sharing can lead to a problematic systems integration and hamper the building of a cohesive enterprise security posture for the merged organization.

Often, the urgency of companies undergoing a merger and acquisition (M&A) impedes comprehensive due diligence, especially in cybersecurity. This creates greater challenges for the cybersecurity engineering architect, who typically leads the cybersecurity assessment effort and creates the road map for the new enterprise security solution in the future organization. However, the business interest and urgency in completing the merger can also represent an opportunity for CISOs to use additional resources and executive attention on strategic security matters.

In this project, you will create a report on system security issues during an M&A. The details of your report, which will also include an executive summary, can be found in the final step of the project.

Step 1: Conduct a Policy Gap Analysis

As you begin Step 1 of your system security report on cybersecurity for mergers and acquisitions (M&A), keep in mind that the networks of companies going through an M&A can be subject to cyberattack. As you work through this step and the others, keep these questions in mind:

• Are companies going through an M&A prone to more attacks or more focused attacks?
• If so, what is the appropriate course of action?
• Should the M&A activities be kept confidential?

Now, look at the existing security policies in regard to the acquisition of the media streaming company. You have to explain to the executives that before any systems are integrated, their security policies will need to be reviewed.

Conduct a policy gap analysis to ensure the target company’s security policies follow relevant industry standards as well as local, state, and national laws and regulations. In other words, you need to make sure the new company will not inherit any statutory or regulatory noncompliance from either of the two original companies. This step would also identify what, if any, laws and regulations the target company is subject to. If those laws are different from the laws and regulations the acquiring company is subject to, then this document should answer the following questions:

• How would you identify the differences?
• How would you learn about the relevant laws and regulations?
• How would you ensure compliance with those laws and regulations?

The streaming company that is being acquired has a current customer base of 150,000 users, who on average pay $14.99 in monthly fees. Based on the overall income, use PCI Standards DSS 12 requirements and the PCI DSS Quick Reference Guide to identify a secure strategy and operating system protections to protect the credit card data.

Select at least two appropriate requirements from the PCI Standards DSS 12 set of requirements and explain how the controls should be implemented, how they will change the current network, and any costs associated with implementing the change.

This policy gap analysis will be part of the final Cybersecurity System Security Report.

In the next step, you will review the streaming protocols that the companies are using.

Step 2: Review Protocols for Streaming Services

After reviewing the policies from the company and the policy gap analysis, the M&A leader asks you about the protocols used by the streaming company. He wants to know if the protocols used would affect the current state of cybersecurity within the current company environment. For this section of the report, review the protocols, explain how they work along with any known vulnerabilities, and how to secure the company from cyberattacks. Start with researching the commonly known streaming protocols and the vulnerabilities of those protocols. Some examples are the Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP), Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP), and the Real-Time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP).

Additionally, the leadership wants to know if any vulnerabilities identified would or could lead to a no-go on the M&A.

In other words:

• You need to identify the kind of streaming that such companies might be doing and the specific technology they would be using.
• What are the technical vulnerabilities associated with the protocols involved?
• Have those been mitigated? And to what extent (i.e., has the risk been reduced to zero, reduced somewhat, shifted to a third party, etc.)?
• What residual risk to the target company’s assets and IP remain?
• Would those risks extend to the current (takeover) company after the merger? Would that be bad enough to cancel the M&A?
• If the response to the last question is yes, then what should the target company do to further mitigate the risk? How should the takeover company mitigate the risk?
• What are the costs associated to the target company (implementing the appropriate mitigation)? If the takeover firm has to take additional measures, identify those costs as well.

After assessing and reviewing the streaming protocols, move to the next step, where you will assess the infrastructure of the merged network.

Step 3: Assess the Merged Network Infrastructure

You’ve just reviewed the streaming services of the companies, and now you will assess the infrastructure of the new network. The networks of the two companies could be configured differently, or they could use the same hardware and software, or completely different hardware and software.

You need to understand what tools the company is using, the benefits and shortcomings of those tools, and the gaps within the network. Explain in your security report what tactics, techniques, and procedures you would use to understand the network. You should identify firewalls, DMZ(s), other network systems, and the status of those devices.

When your assessment of the infrastructure is complete, move to the next step, where you will assess any existing policies for wireless and bring your own device (BYOD) within the companies.

Step 4: Review the Wireless and BYOD Policies

Within Project 2, you learned about and discussed wireless networks. An M&A provides an opportunity for both companies to review their wireless networks. Within your report, explain the media company’s current stance on wireless devices and BYOD. However, the company that is being acquired does not have a BYOD policy. Explain to the managers of the acquisition what needs to be done for the new company to meet the goals of the BYOD policy.

When the review of the wireless and BYOD policies is complete, move to the next step: developing a data protection plan.

Transcript

Image 1

The very next day at the tech conference, a conference attendee picks up a thumb drive in the parking lot of the conference hotel. “Hey, someone lost a drive! I bet I can find a name in one of the files … then the hotel or conference staff can make an announcement.”

Image 2

A few minutes later, the Blue Screen of Death is showing on the attendee’s laptop. The dismayed attendee takes the laptop to the cyber team for help. A few hours later…

Attendee says, “Hi! Did you figure out what happened to my laptop?”

You reply, “Yes, I sure did. That strange thumb drive had a rootkit hidden on it. It ran automatically as soon as it was plugged into the USB port. Fortunately, it was a flawed rootkit and froze your machine. It’s likely this was a baiting attack intended to take advantage of your good nature. So, we’ve removed it from your machine, and now we’re making sure it isn’t anywhere else on the network.”

Image 3

Attendee says with a puzzled look, “How did you know what it was?”

You say, “I searched for signatures of known viruses, rootkits, etc., and found a hex signature for a known rootkit on your machine and on the thumb drive…3F 6A 2B 7C, I think.”

“Okay, signature makes sense. But what’s hex?” asks the attendee.

You explain, “Um…computers use different counting systems like binary and hexadecimal. Binary only uses numerals 1s and 0s. Hex uses 1-9 but also uses letters to represent additional numerals. Just another way to count.”

Attendee puzzles, “Whaa..? How can you use letters to count? Okay, I don’t need to know. Pretty cool that you know all that. Seems like magic to me! Thanks for fixing that!” While walking away, the attendee thinks, “That’s the last time I plug in a random thumb drive.”

Step 5: Develop a Data Protection Plan

You’ve completed the review of the wireless and BYOD policies. In this step, you will develop the recommendations portion of your report in which you will suggest additional mechanisms for data protection at different levels of the acquired company’s architecture.

Include the benefits of defense measures such as full disk encryption (BitLocker is an example) and platform identity keys as well as the required implementation activities. You also want to convey to your leadership the importance of system integrity and an overall trusted computing base, environment, and support. Describe what this would entail and include Trusted Platform Module (TPM) components and drivers. How are these mechanisms employed in an authentication and authorization system? Include this in the report and whether the merging company has this.

In the next step, you will assess any risks with the supply chain of the acquired company.

Step 6: Review Supply Chain Risk

The data protection plan is ready. In this step, you will take a look at risks to the supply chain. Acquiring a new company also means inheriting the risks associated with its supply chain and those firm’s systems and technologies. Include in your report the supply chain risks and list the security measures in place to mitigate those risks. Use the NIST Special Publication 800-161, Supply Chain Risk Management Practices for Federal Information Systems and Organizations, to explain the areas that need to be addressed.

After your supply chain review is complete, move to the next step, where you will create a vulnerability management program.

Step 7: Build a Vulnerability Management Program

After your supply chain review, you conduct an interview with the company’s current cybersecurity team about vulnerability management. The team members explain to you that they never scanned or had the time to build a vulnerability management program. So, you need to build one. Use the NIST Guide to Enterprise Patch Management Technologies, Special Publication 800-40, to develop a program to meet the missing need.

Explain to the managers how to implement this change, why it is needed, and any costs involved.

The next step is a key one that should not be overlooked—the need to educate users from both companies of the changes being made.

Step 8: Educate Users

You’ve completed your vulnerability management program, but it’s important to educate all the users of the network about the changes. During the process of acquiring a company, policies, processes, and other aspects are often updated. So the last step in the process is to inform users in both the parent company and the acquired company of the changes. Within your report, explain to the acquisition managers the requirements for training the workforce.

When you’ve completed this step, move to the final section of this project, in which you will prepare and submit your final report.

Step 9: Prepare and Submit Your Report and Executive Summary

You’re ready now for the final step, in which you will compile and deliver the Cybersecurity System Security Report for a Successful Acquisition for the company leaders to enable them to understand the required cybersecurity strategy.

Again, keep in mind that companies undergoing an acquisition or merger are more prone to cyberattacks. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the security posture of both companies and to develop a plan to reduce the possibility of an attack.

The assignments for this project are as follows:

• Cybersecurity System Security Report for Successful Acquisition: Your report should be a minimum 12-page double-spaced Word document with citations in APA format. The page count does not include figures, diagrams, tables, or citations.
• Executive summary: This is a one-page summary at the beginning of your report.

Goal: You will develop a cybersecurity for a successful acquisition report during an M&A that details the cybersecurity posture of the target company, trusted mechanisms to incorporate, and remedies to implement, to prevent threats and exploits. You suspect that the streaming company may be using older unsupported versions of Microsoft Windows and Adobe Acrobat. Another challenge, you know that your media and entertainment company doesn’t have the staff, with the technical know how, to assess the security of a technology-oriented streaming company. Make sure that these are also addressed in your report.

Read the case given and answer the questions:

Fahad was a Sales Manager for Industrial Products Company in City branch. A week ago, he was promoted and shifted to Head Office as Deputy Manager – Product Management for a division of products which he was not very familiar with. Three days ago, the company VP – Mr. Salim, convened a meeting of all Product Managers. Fahad’s new boss (Product Manager Bandar) was not able to attend due to some other preoccupation. Hence, the Marketing Director, Saad – asked Fahad to attend the meeting as this would give him an exposure into his new role.

At the beginning of the meeting, Saad introduced Fahad very briefly to the VP. The meeting started with an address from the VP and soon it got into a series of questions from him to every Product Manager. Salim, of course, was pretty thorough with every single product of the company and he was known to be pushy and a blunt veteran in the field. Most of the Product Managers were very clear of Salim’s ways of working and had thoroughly prepared for the meeting and were giving to the point answers. Salim then started with Fahad.

Fahad being new to the product, was quite confused and fared miserably. Saad immediately understood that Salim had possibly failed to remember that Fahad was new to the job. He thought of interrupting Salim’s questioning and giving a discrete reminder that Fahad was new. But by that time, Salim who was pretty upset with the lack of preparation by Fahad made a public statement “Gentlemen, you are witnessing here an example of sloppy work and this can’t be excused”.

Now Saad was in two minds – should he interrupt Salim and tell him that Fahad is new in that position OR should he wait till the end of the meeting and tell Salim privately. Saad chose the second option. Fahad was visibly angry at the treatment meted out by Salim but he also chose to keep mum. Salim quickly closed the meeting saying that he found in general, lack of planning in the department and asked Saad to stay back in the room for further discussions. Before Saad could give any explanation on Fahad, Salim asked him “Tell me openly, Saad, was I too rough with that boy?” Saad said “Yes, you were. In fact, I was about to remind you that Fahad is new to the job”. Salim explained that the fact that Fahad was new to the job didn’t quite register with him during the meeting. Salim admitted that he had made a mistake and asked his secretary to get Fahad report to the room immediately.

A perplexed and uneasy Fahad reported to Salim’s room after few minutes.

Salim looking Fahad straight into his eyes said “I have done something which I should have never even thought of and I want to apologize to you. It is my mistake that I did not recollect that you were new to the job when I was questioning you”.

Fahad was left speechless.

Salim continued “I would like to state few things clearly to you. Your job is to make sure that people like me and your bosses do not make stupid decisions. We have good confidence in your abilities and that is why we have brought you to the Head Office. For everybody, time is required for learning. I will expect you to know all the nuances of your product in three months’ time. Until then you have my complete confidence”.

Salim closed the conversation with a big reassuring handshake with Fahad.
