...McBride Financial Website Security Plan Reggi CMGT/441 April 7, 2014 University of Phoenix McBride Financial Website Security Plan Introduction McBride financial services is upgrading their website to be more interactive with clients. The goal is to create self-serve options for clients though the website and through kiosks located in the offices. McBride wants to reduce the number of employees needed to handle client accounts using this new business plan.

...Evaluating a Website for Credibility Rashida Kapasi Chamberlain College of Nursing August 26, 2014 Evaluating a Website for Credibility A website chosen for the evaluation is KidsHealth.org. The purpose of this website is to provide information about the health of children and teenagers in a manner that is easy to understand. This website claims to be the most-visited site on the Web for information about health, behavior, and development from before birth through the teen years. All the information is divided in four sections, providing information for parents, children, teenagers, and for educators. This website is easy to find through the Google search engine. That is understandable, taking into account the fact that Kids Health gets a million visits on a daily basis. The Web Address of this site follows the HTTP pattern. The uniform resource locator is http://kidshealth.org. The domain of this site is org., meaning that the domain extension is used by a non-profit organization called The Nemours Foundation's Center for Children's Health Media. The rationale behind the selection of the website is verifying of the website’s claims of being the most-trusted source for physician-reviewed information on children's health. Empirical evidence for the decision comes from the online library Caphis, which puts Kids Health in the Top 100 List of “Health Websites You Can Trust”, and Time Lists (Buenchner, 2004) name this site to be among 50 best...
