Explanation Presentation

/in /by

Source Requirement: For this presentation you are required to use at least three (3) credible sources. If you fail to use the appropriate number of acceptable sources you may be penalized twenty (20) points on your presentation grade. Additionally, using websites such as Wikipedia, About.com, AskJeeves, or other such online encyclopedias will result in an automatic zero (0) for the presentation grade. Finally, although encouraged, interviews, personal correspondence, atlases, dictionaries and encyclopedias do not count toward your total number of sources—though they must be listed in the bibliography and properly cited within the outline.

 

Topic: The theme of this course is “Control” and “gun”

 

 Task: Students will explain a complicated subject related to the course theme in 4 minutes to a classmate. The listener will be randomly assigned on the day of the presentation. The listener must pay close attention to the speaker. The speaker will ask the listener a question regarding the explanation within the 4 minutes. For example, “can you give me an example,” “think of a way/time when you experienced this,” “how do you make sense of this.” This question should require the listener to apply the material from the explanation in a way that demonstrates their understanding. These questions should not be geared toward offering an opinion, such as the following: “How do you feel about this?” “What are your thoughts on this issue?” “Do you believe what I am telling you?” At the conclusion of the presentation the listener will also record his/her answers to a list of questions pertaining to his/her partner’s presentation. The “answers” will be part of the speaker’s grade as well as the listener’s grade. All students will have the opportunity to play both roles at least once.

for this discussion post explain how you think kantianism would respond to the following scenario

/in /by

Q: While sitting in your favorite restaurant, you overhear the owner tell a mildly racist joke to one of the other customers. You come here a lot and you know the owner in passing, while the person to whom he is speaking is a stranger to you but clearly is a friend of the owner. You have never seen (or heard) the owner do anything of this sort before.

What would the philosopher Kant, and his namesake moral theory suggest you should do? Use the principles of the theory to justify your decision(s) (i.e. the two formulations of the categorical imperative).

Remember: Don’t just tell us what they would suggest doing; show us why they would recommend doing it as well, citing relevant information from the case and the theory.

Cyber-attacks on the financial industry are happening more frequently at an alarming rate of 300 times more in comparison with other industries (Thomas, 2019). In preparation for the annual 3-day security meeting with Padgett-Beale Inc. (PBI), a background paper has been created to highlight the cybercriminal activity that may pose a threat to PBI’s business model. To perform the analysis of the potential threats, the CISO collected data from recent events that have negatively impacted the financial services industry. One current event of particular interest that will be highlighted in this paper is the Capital One Breach that occurred on 22-23, March 2019.

Analysis

Per the Capital One 2019 Facts security report update for its recent cyber incident: “On July 19, 2019, we determined that an outside individual gained unauthorized access and obtained certain types of personal information about Capital One credit card customers and individuals who had applied for our credit card products” (Capital One, 2019). Furthermore, it goes on to state that this attack impacted more than 100 million individuals exposing “addresses, phone numbers, and dates of birth, along with 140,000 Social Security numbers, 80,000 bank account numbers, credit scores, and transaction data” (CISO MAG, 2019). This attack was one of the most prominent attacks in recent history that could have been ultimately prevented if their firewall had been configured correctly according to security analysts (Thomas, 2019).

Per the CISO MAG (2019), the FBI charged a suspect, “Paige A. Thompson, with computer fraud and abuse. Thompson, who went by the hacker name ‘erratic’, allegedly exploited a misconfigured firewall to access the Capital One cloud repository and exfiltrate the data in March 2019”. As a result, Capital One sent out notices to all of its customers that were impacted by the security breach. Furthermore, the bank offered free credit monitoring and identity protection for all individuals that had their Social Security numbers and/or bank account numbers exposed (Capital One, 2019). There is no known or clear motive for her reasons for exploiting a server vulnerability and stealing Capital One’s customer data.

Should the company take actions or develop strategies to protect itself from similar crimes? What are your recommendations in this regard?

In response to the growing threats faced by the Financial Services Industry, PBI must be prepared to protect its digital assets from cyber-attack or other compromise. First, the M&A must continue its “due diligence” as evidenced in the Risk assessment, subsequent, Gap Analysis, and the development of a Cybersecurity Strategy. Compiling the data from the tools aforementioned will aid PBI in identifying security vulnerabilities and risk mitigation strategies to eliminate or reduce the risk to an acceptable level. Failing to do so, can open the company up to lawsuits, reputation damage and substantial cleanup costs. Furthermore, due to PBI-FS’s limited nature of experience in the Financial Industry, special care needs to be taken to address the impact a breach would have on its operations by , at a minimum, conducting a Business Impact Analysis (BIA).

Closing

In closing, the writing is on the wall and PBI-FS has been put on notice of impending attempts to compromise its security based on recent statistics and trends. As a new formed financial services division, they are a prime target for cyber criminals looking for an easy hit. Developing a Cybersecurity Strategy and Implementation plan will steer the team in the right direction. Likewise, PBI-FS must be extraordinarily vigilant in performing its “due diligence” in all aspects of its business model. Finally, by adopting the “best practices”/frameworks to harden their security posture against the looming threats, PBI-FS can avoid being a victim like Capital One.

/in /by

Sweeping structural changes have occurred in the American economy in the past few decades. These have had deep impacts on labor markets and middle-income households. The PBS Frontline documentary film “Two American Families” follows the lives of
two American households as they experience these changes from 1992 to 2012. It is available for free to view at the following

website:
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/two-american-families/
1) Watch the film documentary above. (It’s about 80 minutes).
2) Write a 2-3 page reaction paper to this documentary that applies concepts, knowledge, and economic theory learned during the class. Your reaction paper must say something meaningful and interesting using labor economics. It must be more than a summary of the film. It must use labor economics to explain what is observed in the film.
A paper receiving full extra credit does the following:
– Makes an interesting, thoughtful point
– Applies economic theory to make point
– Shows the student learned something about labor economics in the past month
– Uses examples from the film, refers to film to make point
– Shows the student put thought and effort into the reaction paper and film
– At least 2 pages in length, typed, one inch margins, uses paragraphs and complete sentences, etc
