...Discussion Board Unit 4 Busn105/1304 Discussion Board Unit 4 Two Challenges that Companies Face in Ethics One of the challenges is the company’s employees. Employees sometimes don’t follow the company’s policies. This issue can be a problem in so many ways. If employees are not following the rules it can reflect on the companies’ credibility. Bad credibility can cause sale loss and the company can lose their credentials. Another issue is the companies themselves. Changes within the company and communication with the employees can interfere. If Companies don’t have all the information and they pass it to the employees it can cause an impact on the ability of the employees to do their jobs. It is very important to make the proper changes so that there aren’t conflicts within the company. Two Challenges in the Area of Social Responsibility Resource investments can be an obstacle for business owners. Convincing investors or shareholders the company is worth investing in. Companies have to educate the shareholders and explain why they would benefit from investing. Another challenge is being successful in programs within the company. Programs that flop can cause company crisis and can result in damaging the company’s reputation. What is Management’s Responsibility in Addressing These Issues? Management has the responsibility to deal with these issues in a professional manner. Researching every aspect of the issues and deciding what would be more beneficial...

...The Discussion Board (DB) is part of the core of online learning. Classroom discussion in an online environment requires the active participation of students and the instructor to create robust interaction and dialogue. Every student is expected to create an original response to the open-ended DB question as well as engage in dialogue by responding to posts created by others throughout the week. At the end of each unit, DB participation will be assessed based on both level of engagement and the quality of the contribution to the discussion. At a minimum, each student will be expected to post an original and thoughtful response to the DB question and contribute to the weekly dialogue by responding to at least two other posts from students. The first contribution must be posted before midnight (Central Time) on Wednesday of each week. Two additional responses are required after Wednesday of each week. Students are highly encouraged to engage on the Discussion Board early and often, as that is the primary way the university tracks class attendance and participation. The purpose of the Discussion Board is to allow students to learn through sharing ideas and experiences as they relate to course content and the DB question. Because it is not possible to engage in two-way dialogue after a conversation has ended, no posts to the DB will be accepted after the end of each unit. Consider the following scenario: Lucy Shafer wants to borrow $100,000 to expand her dog-breeding...

...James A Bas IS 3230 Week 4 Discussion 1 Security Breach Evaluation Companies that have critical information assets such as customer data, birth dates, ethnicities, learning disabilities, as well as test performance data, the risk of a data breach is very likely than ever before. To monitor and protect information from hackers, malicious and well-meaning insiders, EducationS will need to select solutions based on an operational model for security that is risk-based and content-aware. Stop incursion by targeted attacks- To prevent incursions, it is necessary to shut down each of these avenues into the organization’s information assets. Core systems protection, IT compliance controls assessment automation, and endpoint management, in addition to endpoint, Web, and messaging security solutions, should be combined to stop targeted attacks. (Why) Because the top four means of hacker incursion into a company’s network are through exploiting system vulnerabilities, default password violations, SQL injections, and targeted malware attacks Identify threats by correlating real-time alerts with global intelligence- To help identify and respond to the threat of a targeted attack, security information and event management systems can flag suspicious network activity for investigation. (Why) The value of such real-time alerts is much greater when the information they provide can be correlated in real time with current research and analysis of the worldwide threat environment. ...

...Grade Received, "A" Information systems will definitely alter the way that healthcare organizations are structured. Information systems were made to aide a business in having an aggressive lead over competition by giving support and helping to shape the makeup and strategies of the business. Upgrades to information technologies have raised the productiveness of healthcare services as well as employees because an advance in technology lowers the usage of paper records. These alterations in technology enable data to be distributed and reserved in exceptional ways, enabling information to be traced, evaluated, and exhausted in a manner that aides in delivering more competent care. Due to the type of data that is attainable via healthcare information systems, the makeup of the healthcare business will conform in consensus to the pertinent information systems. These systems will not only affect direct-care services like doctors and nurses, but will also alter non direct-care fields like analysis and growth, invoices, medical records, and more (Fottler, Ford, & Heaton, 2010). Fundamental alterations due to information systems are inescapable because of the alterations in how the data is acquired, reserved, and fetched. Information systems are intended to reply to inquiries. Nurses might exhaust upgraded systems to keep track of patients’ vitals; thus, altering the method of how care is given as well as the effectiveness of responses to the failing health of hospitalized consumers...
