Introduction Leonard Bosack and Sandy Lerner, the married couple who met at Stanford University, founded Cisco in 1984 in San Francisco, California. During Cisco’s founding years at Stanford University, Leonard Bosack, Sandy Lerner, and a few others helped connect hundreds of computers throughout Stanford University on a wired network. They understood that they could take this technology and help other university and business, which helped Cisco grow into the $150 billion networking conglomerate it is today. Cisco multiprotocol router, Cisco’s first major product, was one of a kind package of a group of routers, switches, internetworking and other telecommunication devices that helps a group of computers multitask on a closed network. From here, Cisco’s management created a market where they could sell routers, switches, servers, data centers, and other telecommunication devices and software to help connect the world through electronic devices. Like many other technology companies, there were able to help bring this technology to the rest of the world because their hardware and software did not vary too much throughout different markets. They were able to become truly global and sell their products all over the world to enable billions of people enable them to connect into the digital world. (Boudreau) 2. Problems ...

...regret probabilities into a predicted value for that outcome. Risk is defined as a function of three variables: 1. The probability that there is a threat. 2. The probability that there are vulnerabilities. 3. The potential impact. What is risk management? Risk management is the means of balancing the costs and benefits of any business decision. The risk management process involves identifying, analyzing, and taking steps to eliminate or reduce the loss faced by an organization or individual. Risk management utilizes many tools and techniques, including but not limited to insurance, to manage a wide variety of risks. All businesses encounter risks, some of which are predictable and controllable, and others which are unpredictable and uncontrollable. Risk Management is particularly vital for any business. Common types of losses—such as theft, fire, flood, legal liability, injury, or disability—can destroy in a few minutes what may have taken the company years to build. Such losses and liabilities can affect the day to day operations, reduce profits, and cause financial hardship. These hardships can be severe enough to cripple or bankrupt a company. Through proper Risk Management a company has a better chance of not only identifying risks but also has a better chance of recovery if the risk is not avoided altogether. When we see the people around us start to get sick, we analyze this and take preventative measures to avoid getting sick ourselves, i...

...University of Maryland University College Final Exam Question 1 a) If I were to engineer a product that could be used to spy on users, the first thing I would install would be a rootkit. A rootkit is a clandestine kind of software that is designed to conceal that fact that an operating system has been compromised. They ultimately allow viruses and malware to hide from usual methods of detection, and permits continued privileged access to a computer. Rootkits allow for full control over a system, which means that existing software can be modified including detection software. Rootkit detection is difficult because a rootkit is activated before the operating system boots up and is able to subvert the software intended to find it (Vacca, 2013, pp. 53-54). The next step would then be to install spyware and use the rootkit to disguise it as necessary files that anti-spyware software will overlook. Once a user purchases this product and it is connected, off-site agents will be able to start collecting files and data and have the ability to access and control the infected devices. b) As a technology procurer for an organization, it is very important to do your research on your vendors. The legitimacy of the vendor needs to be verified and their workforce, production lines and supply chains need to be checked to ensure they have appropriate security measures and monitoring in place to safeguard against malicious activity. A security vulnerabilities assessment needs to be...

Political, Legal, and Regulatory Risks Politically, China faces some stability issues. China has a Communist government. In many cases, this regime has led to stability that has helped the country reach the more recent levels of economic improvement, despite some notable discontent among its people (Cai & Li, 2009). However, since reaching a more prosperous economy China has been at odds with itself. Balancing its communistic central government with capitalistic economic centers has been unsuccessful. Additionally, the development of the nation has led to a large disparity between the classes with some rural regions looking as they did decades ago whereas urban centers rival New York and Tokyo in excess (AMBest Co Inc., 2011). This generates a lack of trust in smaller regional centers and towns that threatens to create instability in China (Ke & Zhang, 2003). Political, Legal, and Regulatory Risks Management Companies that have plans of investing, operating or partnering with Chinese company must understand the political process of a Communist government and seek legal and regulatory advice from company, which currently operate in this region.

.... What business and social problems does data center power consumption cause? Data center power consumption economically affects businesses and environmentally affects society. Operating costs for data centers is very expensive. In the article, "Ubiquitous Green Computing Techniques for High Demand Applications in Smart Environments," the total operating costs, concerning electricity, of all data centers within the U.S. alone exceeded 7 billion dollars in 2010 (Ayala, J., Moya, J., Risco-Martín, J., Sanchez, C., Zapater, M. 2012). The article then explains that data centers consumed 61 billion kilowatt-hours in 2006;the Environmental Protection Agency provided this statistic to the US Congress in a report from 2007 (Ayala, J., Moya, J., Risco-Martín, J., Sanchez, C., Zapater, M. 2012). With this amount of energy being consumed by data centers, it is a cause for concern; consequently, data centers have an impact on the cost of business and negatively impact the environment via carbon footprint. As the carbon footprint grows, there is a need to realign the way businesses looks at managing their data centers. Several companies including Cisco, Dell, Google, HP, IBM, and Intel have announced efforts to reduce the environmental footprint of their product offerings (Chang et al., 2012). Large technology companies are starting to understand that being environmentally friendly is good for the wallet and good public relations. Understanding how to manage and build better data centers...
