Answer preview

The more aggressive form of a cyberattack on Chinese interests takes the form of coordinated and targeted ransomware attacks on critical institutions. Banks, schools, ministerial departments, and other governmental agencies are lucrative targets for hackers. In one of the most prominent cyberattacks in recent years, Chinese government officials were targeted in a coordinated ransomware attack by an international cyberattack racket (Staff, 2017). In a situation dubbed as one of the most outrageous extortion schemes of 2017, hackers would spam government officials with emails purporting to deliver critical information to get them to download attachments (Mohurle & Patil, 2017). Once downloaded, the malware would encrypt vital details and require the officials to pay a ransom.

The need for information technology in hotels is extremely necessary. Technology can be leveraged across all hotel departments to streamline operations, enhance guests, improve communication, and manage post-Covid 19 protocols. Here are various reasons where new technology is demanded in the hotel business.  First, the new technology will improve convenience.  According to Bilgihan, Okumus, & Kwun, (2011), the guest is more interested in convenience.  They prefer a check-in process to be quick and painless. A hotel should allow guests to make online check-in, which more convenient and easier for them.  New technology allows hotels to provide a technology-driven, seamless, and contactless experience to guests. It enables customers to make check-in via an online platform or go to digital kiosks where they can fill information about themselves without the help of staff.  New technology will, therefore, counter the need to queue or leave their room to order a meal. Hotel guests want a smooth and easy experience which can be made possible by new technology. Secondly, the new technology improves communication.  Technology is key for facilitating communication with the hotel.

In sales and marketing, the ERP supports operations like sales plan preparation and monitoring, invoices, and sale offers.  I will use ERP to manage the prices and the discounts of the goods or services that the company offers and register the customers’ inquiries (Kunath, & Winkler,2019).  The introduction of ERP has presented various benefits to the organization. One of the advantages of ERP is it has improved collaboration among different departments in the organization.  ERP allows the different organization departments to work together, share information, and collaborate when there is a need. The most impressive feature of ERP is that it updates data in real-time so that any department can access accurate information anytime (Abd Elmonem, Nasr, & Geith, 2016).

You will demonstrate what, how, why, where and who related to these cyber attacks. You will include details on how these attacks take place to attack specific targets with various motivations.

12 times new roman, 5 pages, double spaced.:

Answer preview

Defining research procedures is critical when evaluating buffer overflow attacks. To identify what, how, why, where, and who related to buffer overflow attacks, a literature review was carried on the previously written articles that addressed the issues of buffer overflow attacks. The articles were searched from the university databases. In this case, a given criterion was used to determine the eligibility of the hacking cases published. One of the criteria used to evaluate the articles is determining the type of cyber-attacks. All articles that discussed other types of cyberattacks, such as phishing, were excluded from the research. In this regard, only ten articles were searched from the university database. After critical evaluation, only four articles met minimum requirements.

The creation of Google inspired the progress of computer science in significant ways. Google has facilitated the learning of computer science at all levels by creating a powerful infrastructure that facilitates virtual reality technology. Computer science researchers and higher education students can also conduct their analysis in a faster way using Google solutions. Google has also shaped the progress of computer science by facilitating research on artificial intelligence so that computer scientists can be able to provide the world with new ways of solving global challenges (Pirie, 2019). Unlike the previously used search engines before Google was created, anyone can search for words or terms for free using Google. This illustrates the way Larry Pages’ innovation has made it easy for everyone to instantly access any kind of information. The creation of Google also contributed to the progress of computer science by revolutionizing data science. This is because the creation of Google improved big data analytics, making companies increasingly make use of the availability of enormous datasets (Gibbs and Hern, 2018). Computer science plays a significant role in expanding communication. The creation of Google also influenced communication by creating various avenues for people to communicate through the internet.

Explain in your own words what some of the challenges are with the Change Management Process for IT security.

Requirements: post must be between 250-300 words

Answer preview

Ideal visions without equivalent resources and preparation lead to frustrations in the change management process. An ideal change management process requires an elaborate plan that details all the resources required and the appropriate procedures to be followed (Fonseca & Domingues, 2017). In some organizations, the change management process is not correctly detailed or prepared enough. In others, some of the vital steps are omitted or wrong structured. Faults in program execution negatively affect the change management process. Besides, there are numerous uncertainties in the change management process. Anything from price spikes or workers turnover can have severe impacts on a change management process. Change managers in an IT department must vision all probable uncertainties and prepare a course in advance.

To adopt this new technology, our organization will have to look for a competent cloud provider. It is because a third party who manages virtual resources is the one who will provide the cloud services. The provider will also help the organization in transitioning to the cloud by providing the needed support to ensure the organization benefits from the new technology. The organization will also need to create a change management plan to make people understand how the new technology will change the way they go about their duties. For instance, a change management plan can explain why the change is happening, how, and with whom to share information. The organization will also need to perform a smooth cutover to ensure the technology shift does not disrupt the organization’s operations.

Advances in healthcare technologies have led to better management of patients. The usage of high-resolution data has revolutionized personalized medicine. A wide spectrum of data concerning an individual such as medical history, heritage, genetic information, and lifestyle are collected and used to make healthcare decisions. The personalized medicine approach does not follow the one-size-fits-all approach, and this gives patients better healthcare outcomes. Artificial intelligence and Big data are technologies that have made personalized medicine possible. Gameiro et al. (2018) also say that advances in genomics like rapid DNA sequencing have improved precision medicine, which positively impacts patients’ health.

Impact of Whistleblowing

/in /by

One topic that continues to draw a great deal of attention are whistleblowers.  Through unit 5 and the entire course we are learning the importance for the enterprise to have a strong reporting mechanism and whistleblower protection program.  Sherron Watkins, former Enron Vice President, was the primary whistleblower leading to the collapse of Enron. IT Academic Technologies published a presentation delivered by Sherron Watkins.  Please watch this presentation located at

Directions:

Write a response paper that summarizes the main points and analyzes/critiques the main points.  What were the strong points and the weak points of this film?  What was interesting, relevant, and connected to our readings in unit 5, what are the advantages and disadvantages to reviewing this presentation, and finally who should be an audience for this presentation?  Your paper is required to be written in APA format including a cover page and reference page.  Your paper main content must be at least two full typed written pages, not including the cover page and reference page.

Answer preview

Interestingly, it was worth noting that organizations like Enron, where leaders engaged in fraud schemes, treat employees well by offering good pay and treats. This can be termed as a bribing strategy to gag them from asking questions. Regardless, it is relevant to note that employees have the right to whistleblower protections. According to Moeller (2011), employees and leaders should know about whistleblower processes to reduce the vast risks that emerge once the fraud scheme becomes public. Overall, the presentation was of significant benefit since it raises the importance of reinforcing whistleblowing protection policies in a company. Such measures give stakeholders the confidence to report a strange practice in the organization without fear of intimidation. However, a downside regarding this speech is that Watkins talks of poor leadership in Enron and fails to consider that she could have ordered a risk investigation to save the firm (Moeller, 2011).
