Introduction
The reason why NAICS system doesn’t treat cybersecurity as an industry is that it doesn't know how to give businesses cyber insurance regarding cybersecurity. Cyber liability insurance has started and is off to a good start and it’s also expected to grow dramatically over time as business gradually become more aware ("Cybersecurity", 2016), but the current policies that are in place does not adequately cover any of the cyber attacks that plague businesses today. When more cyber systems fail due to cyber attacks, is when business start to become aware of these issue and want to get cyber insurance. Awareness is growing, but as stated before cyber insurance has not caught up to cyber security and therefore their policies do not cover or represent most of the issues that plague the cybersecurity world. NAICS does not treat cybersecurity as industry because the policies and insurances have yet to match the industry itself.

SIC codes are four-digit numerical codes assigned by the U.S. government to business establishments to identify the primary business of that establishment ("What is a SIC Code?", 2016). This classification was set forth in attempt to collect, present, analysis, promote and compare business statistical data which covers all economic activities. NAICS codes will also have information on the size of the business, its annual revenue and just general information about that company. Having these codes also allows you do business on a federal level which can open many doors to
As a member of the Homeland Security Assessment Team for our organization, we will attempt to build a program that will allow us to meet the goals of our business plan as well as the needs of our Homeland Security Assessment that we will create from the results of our evaluation of our organization (Fisher, 2004). We will utilize the Baldridge Criteria to combine our two-goal seeking areas of our business plan as well as our Homeland Security Assessment goals that we are identified at the conclusion of our Homeland Security Assessment. When we do our Baldridge Criteria measurements of our organization we will be able to determine the areas of our organization that we are already protected from weaknesses and vulnerabilities; and will be able
1. CJCS fulfills the role of principal military adviser in the National Security Council system. The CJCS is the senior most military advisor to the President and in such provides that guidance directly to the President, and by participating in National Security Council Principals meetings in person. During these meetings he provides his best professional military advice to the President and the other cabinet members of the NSC. Additionally, he will send his senior most policy advisor the Joint Staff J5 to sit in on Deputies committee meetings and give his guidance at this next level down.
If spent correctly, this should enable the United States to continue to maintain its competitive edge against strategic competitors. However, even with the increase in the defense share of federal R&D, the overall federal R&D budget declines because the nondefense portion is slashed by 19.2 percent. Similarly, while the FY 2019 budget increases total cyber funding for the Pentagon by 4.2 percent to $8.5 billion, it cuts the R&D budget of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, which creates cybersecurity standards for the government and private sector, by 18 percent. Reducing R&D and cyber funding for nondefense agencies in order to allow the government to pay for increases in the defense budget will not enhance America’s overall security. Meanwhile, the budget asks for $9.2 billion for the Missile Defense Agency an increase that is about $1.9 billion more than what was previously planned even though these programs are so plagued with problems that there are serious doubts as to their effectiveness.
Everyone isn’t expected to see rates go down or stay the same because the cost of insurance premiums vary by the region. Insurance industry profits are not a significant driver of

Yes, the Cybersecurity should be a priority not only in Target but also in any other businesses because without the cyber security the PC systems have dependably been the objective of offenders, and it is likely that the risk of digital security breaks will just increment later on as these systems extend, however, there are sensible safety measures that associations can take to limit misfortunes from the individuals who steal the information. With the
In conclusion, since there is a high demand for cybersecurity professionals, there
The legal issue would be whether Target security is allowed to accuse customers of stealing before having proof. Mr. Johnson could argue that Target security falsely accused him of stealing. Another issue would be whether Target security is allowed to accuse customers of stealing loud enough for others to hear. Mr. Johnson could argue Target security humiliated and embarrassed him as well as falsely accusing him of stealing loud enough for others to hear.
After reading the case study of the PCNet Project, we will examine how critical success factors apply to the case study. The first area is setting clear objectives for risk management. With this factor we set strategic, financial, operational, and other objectives during the strategic and annual planning processes and throughout the year for a company. With these objectives we need to ensure that there is the process of identifying risks to our objectives, evaluating the impact of those risks and choosing a response. Some of the actions the company needs to be ready to respond to are avoidance, mitigation, or acceptance.

Missing Issues One of the major challenges facing various companies today is the issue of cyber security. In her interview, she claimed that IT in Royal Mail has been under-invested and if this is so, then security was also under-invested but she failed to address this issue in the interview. Moreover, outsourcing so much of the IT services could lead easy security breaches. While it may not be a deliberate nefarious act from the outsourced company, an attack on the outsourced company would affect Royal Mail.
I am a good candidate for Cybersecurity because I work well with all people, am passionate about technology and safety, and have some understanding of modern technology from research and computing classes, most notably AP/PLTW Computer Science Principles, which Mrs. Kude taught. I belong to a very STEM-oriented family; logical, quantitative analysis and description is essential in conversation and experimenting with the environment is highly encouraged. I learned early that everything around me is math, science, and later, engineering. I also realized quickly that it is crucial to have good communication and persuasion in order for concerted efforts to happen efficiently. Furthermore, for a plan to be foolproof, it must be critiqued upon from
Cybersecurity has become a growing cause for concern in the United States and indeed countries around the world. On February 9, 2016 President Barack Obama announced his Cybersecurity National Action plan (CNAP) to further the nations efforts to protect government agencies, citizens, and businesses from cyber threats domestic and abroad. However, cybersecurity is not a new issue in fact it is as old as the internet itself. With that said, I keep thinking back to that warm September day stained with the image of an enormous fireball engulfing our small TV set. This horrific day changed the course of history forever along with my future career path.
Mass media, national and international security, and the IT industry have focused their energy, time, and resources to deal with the threats posed by cyber terrorism. Journalists, novelists, films, and security experts have come up with different scenarios focusing on the possibility of cyber terrorists electronically breaking into computers that control the airline systems and nuclear power plants, causing major destructions, endangering millions of lives, and putting the national security at risks (Gordon & Ford, 2002). Most important infrastructures United States are networked through computers, causing the potential threat of cyber terrorism to be alarming. Computer hackers have demonstrated their expertise in gaining access to sensitive information and information that involve critical service. In theory, terrorists could follow hacker’s footstep, break into government computer systems, and cripple the military and financial sectors of United
Personal vision about the future of cyberwarfare Cyberwarfare already exists in reality and has been spread out among countries or organizations over the past few decades. The rising technologies including artificial intelligence and computational neural networks used by future computers will not only be significant in a new era of power and communications, but will also broaden the channel for cybercrimes, attacks and warfare. Future cyberwarfare will continue to scale up attacks against governments, corporations and even civilians in the next decade where it will be on par with traditional military and will might surpass these tactics. Future cyberwarfare will not just be targeted against military agencies or other government agencies.
