Imagine you’re a senior executive for a large company. You’ve just been put in charge of your companies Information Security (IS) Program and told that your mandate is to prevent cybercrime through developing sound policy. Your primary challenges are twofold: 1) You are a transnational company and employees travel all over the globe; and 2) Your company has no active audit program in place to quantify vulnerabilities and potential losses from attacks to information systems. Attack them one at a time…

 

Realizing that when employees travel they are exposed to risk and possible cyberattack… You need to put information security protocols in place for individuals traveling abroad; specifically what other steps will you put in place to ensure that information (and equipment) will be secure? Will your plan vary depending on the countries your employees visit or is it one security plan works for all countries visited? Why? What steps must employees take before leaving and how will you measure that those steps have been taken?

 

Your other immediate challenge is to discuss with management the challenges associated with quantifying vulnerabilities and potential losses from attacks to your company’s computer systems. What’s involved in doing that and what are some of the biggest challenges involved in accomplishing that kind of assessment?

 

Week 6 Discussion 2

 

Because Discussion 1 this week is quite substantial, this one is a little lighter… What is your take on the “Why Leaders Should Care About Security” podcast you listened to this week. Are the perspectives espoused in the podcast naive and idealistic, or spot on?

Please write a short reflection paper of at least 1300 words (12pt, double space, 1” margin, conformed to Turabian or to the style guide native to your major field of study) reflecting on one of the texts we have discussed in the class. Please avoid generic paper topics (i.e. “Plato’s Politics”) and strive to write a paper that explores the issue with significant narrowness, creativity and depth (i.e. “Responsibility and Plato’s Use of the Myth of Gyges”). Rather than attempt to reflect on an entire reading, pick one narrow theme within the text. Your paper should take an exegetical approach to the readings, utilizing quotations and explanation to demonstrate both an engagement of the text and a thoughtful opinion on the thesis. External research is acceptable but not required.

 

The best papers have a thesis that is abundantly clear, a progression of thought that is obvious and forecasted in the introduction, and a strong conclusion that gathers together the observations and arguments of the paper. Significant grading deductions will be incurred for spelling/grammar errors, improper documentation, etc. Papers will be graded according to the following rubric:

 

  • Grammar, spelling, sentence structure, readability, consistency of notations/spacing (20%)
  • Careful engagement of the text(s) under consideration (20%)
  • Logical connectedness of the paragraphs/points, visibility of a structure/outline, transitions between points/paragraphs (20%)
  • Thesis development, quality of argument, appropriate length/word count (20%)
  • Strength of conclusions, scope of argument (20%)

 

tests: 

 

Plato, Five Dialogues (The Meno), 72-92

 

The Bhagavad Gita, 71-122, 203-24

 

The Dhammapada, Chapters 1-8, 19-26

 

Tao te Ching, Chapters 1-25

 

Confucius, The Analects, Books 1-10

 

What is AFIS?   In your own words, please describe it’s purpose, functions, & capabilities.  In your description, name an advantage and a disadvantage to the system.

Discuss the primary factors that motivate companies to expand internationally.

 

1. Culture

 

The cultural difference can be crucial   to consider when expanding globally. Understanding the culture and it needs come to play when expanding internationally as the businesses cannot ignore the needs to the new market, the community and what they value. It would be neglecting to underestimate the effects of cultural differences. The businesses need to invest a considerate amount of time and energy to pursue an overseas venture to be able to achieve their business goals and get a share in the local market. 

 

2. Legal and regulatory barriers

 

Legal and regulatory barriers can be a big barrier for the business who are expanding in international markets. This can be due to the sensitivity of the product that is planned to be served, the regulations of the current government, and the business’s flexibility around navigating around these factors.

 

It is very crucial to invest time and budget on legal counsel before even planning to expand overseas. It could be seen a costly action; however, it would be more expensive to expand in a new market and not being able to sustain the business. 

 

3. Foreign government consideration

 

In addition to legal and regulatory barriers, the economical flexibility and the stability of the local government play a big role in the success of the international business. Here are a few aspects to consider are:

 

  • Currency exchange rates
  • Access to needed resources and materials
  • Communication and transportation options
  • Government assistance programs for businesses
  • Immigration and Employment Laws

 

4. Business case

 

It is important that the services of the business respond to the challenges of the new market. To be able to make this judgment, here are some of the strategies to consider:

 

  • Perform a market study to understand the market’s personality, economic feasibility, market trends, financial cost patterns, and market forecasts
  • Do a financial feasibility study to determine if the move makes financial sense
  • Look into Partnership and liaison relationship development to get the know-how on the local market and the consumer behavior
