...RUNNING HEAD: ONLINE THERAPY Online Therapy Technology in Human Service The value of online therapy varies because of specific reasons and treatments therapy is utilized and type of services needed for particular clients. Online therapy can be very beneficial to those who cannot access transportation or might be homebound. This makes online therapy convenient and opens flexible scheduling but if you are not disabled or homebound it may be difficult to resolve issues faced due to non face to face interaction. Sometimes it is better to be face to face with someone to sort out obstacles because the therapist can read body language, facial expression, and vocal signals. These are very important to understand what the therapist is working with and how they can help you. Face to face encounter also gives the client a preview of what potential the therapist has and what kind of relationship bonding will take place. While evaluating online therapy three sites where reviewed; the content of each site and the site interaction for therapy will be discussed. During this discussion the view of state regulatory boards and advantages and disadvantages of online therapy will be analyzed. People are capable of genuine change because there is always an explanation of human thought and motivation. Online therapy seems to provide motivation to those who prefer to be in the comfort of their home for a number of...

...than 20% of enterprises will rely only on firewalls or intrusion prevention systems to protect their Web applications — down from 40% today. By year-end 2020, more than 50% of public Web applications protected by a WAF will use WAFs delivered as a cloud service or Internet-hosted virtual appliance — up from less than 10% today. Market Definition/Description The Web application firewall (WAF) market is defined by a customer's need to protect internal and public Web applications when they are deployed locally (on-premises) or remotely (hosted, "cloud" or "as a service"). WAFs are deployed in front of Web servers to protect Web applications against hackers' attacks, to monitor access to Web applications, and to collect access logs for compliance/auditing and analytics. WAFs are most often deployed in-line, as a reverse proxy, because historically it was the only way to perform some in-depth inspections. Other deployment modes exist, such as transparent proxy, bridge mode, or the WAF being positioned out of band (OOB) and, therefore, working on a copy of the network traffic. The primary WAF benefit is providing protection for custom Web applications that would otherwise go unprotected by other technologies that guard only against known exploits and prevent vulnerabilities in off-the-shelf Web application software...

...Risk Assessment in Information Technology Risk Assessment in Information Technology This paper will address risk assessment in Information Technology and discuss factors used to identify all kinds of risks in company network diagram. It will also assess the risk factors that are inclusive for the Company and give the assumptions related to the security data as well as regulatory issues surrounding risk assessment. In addressing the global implications, the paper will propose network security vulnerabilities and recommend the mitigation measures for the vulnerabilities. Cryptography recommendations based on data driven decision-making will be assessed, and develop risk assessment methodologies. Risk assessment in Information Technology Risk assessment is one of the mitigation methods for the Networks design. The scanners or vulnerability tools are used to identify the risks or vulnerabilities within the network design. The risks can be identified by these tools as they extend beyond software detects to incorporate other easily vulnerabilities including mis-configurations (Rouse, 2010). The shareware assessment tools are accessible online and can be used to supplement commercial scanners. Framework of risk assessment * Step 1 – categorizing information and information systems. Here unique department traits are highlighted and assigned impact levels (high, medium or low) in line with the security FISMA’s security objectives (confidentiality, integrity and availability)...

...only way to reach it is over the Internet or WAN connection. I do believe like we covered in class a lot of companies are now offering services over the Cloud. They prefer to have control over their product and prevent copyright infringement and piracy. Plus it’s very beneficial for a company to offer additional services when they already have you hooked. The “Holy Grail” of the internet has always been the ability of a Website to drive traffic toward it and maintain their presence for prolonged periods. But what about businesses, how do we drive business traffic toward our website? Yes a company can have a Facebook page or a twitter account but I don’t think many mangers want their employees surfing Facebook under the guise of social networking for the company. So what can we do to drive business traffic to a site and yet have employees be productive and most importantly charge them a fee? Enter; Cloud offerings but before we get into that let’s take a look at a little history. What made the cloud possible? You have to be a big player to offer cloud offering to millions of people simultaneously but more than just a backend sever with some useful software you also need infrastructure. This would not have been possible 10 years ago when the...
