Your discussion is very good; I think you have listed great ways for a security officer to prevent fires as well as going above and beyond the fire marshal to prevent them. The encouraging employees to report any hazards is also a very good one.
Fire is a huge concern in any organization for everyone in the organization as well as everything inside it. As a security officer you must ensure the safety of everyone inside and outside of the organization as well as the personnel in it, to ensure this you have to go above and beyond the fire marshals’ requirements of approval.
Ways a security officer can go above and beyond the fire marshal is by making sure that your focus is more towards the areas in the building that are at a higher risk of fires. This includes rooms with electrical in it or places like a kitchen with fire causing materials such as the stove. You must also be able to easily access any electrical panels in the building.
Another would be to ensure all the fire safety equipment is tested regularly and also that it is up to date to ensure that it will function properly if it is needed. This is things like the smoke alarms and the fire extinguishers located in the facility.
You can also and should, make sure that every employee goes through a fire safety training course, it should also include different ways to go around it if one way is not possible in the situation. They should also be updated on where the fire safety equipment is located in the building in case the organization decides to switch places for it.
The company should also have detailed records over anything that is flammable or can prevent fires in any way. They must check if anything is leaking that may be flammable and everyone in the organization should be taught how to properly dispose of anything like this.
Fire safety is very important, if it is not treated as so it can lead to loss of life, equipment and the building itself. The security officers should do everything listed and more to make sure this does not happen.
This devotional discusses how Jesus has the authority over the evil in our lives or in this case, Legions. Jesus helped relieve Legion of his evil spirits and this led to legion finding peace in his life finally. This story is telling me that only Jesus has the power to relieve someone who lives in despair and lift them up to their highest. This also helps me to understand that asking for help or just admitting you need help in life is better than living with the despair of not seeking help. Legion was able to get help from Jesus because he confided in him, he reached out when he needed it and Jesus answered just like he would do for anyone that can admit they need help.
Your story was awesome! It was such a great read and a great way to explain a data breach in a story! You have great information, and I think your story really tells the importance on a data breach.
Cybersecurity crimes are all bas but this one I feel is important, it is called “The scary truth behind Identity Theft”. This story is based on someone named Steve because no one ever found out who did it. Steve set up a carefully well thought out plan with means, opportunity, and motive, his plan was to steal one of his main top bosses from work’s identity. Steve’s means were somewhat personal as he was close with this boss, he figured out a way to gain access to his information.
Steve’s opportunity was when everyone was going out to lunch and his boss was in front of him and accidentally dropped his wallet, Steve picked it up and managed to take photos of all his information including is ID, Social Security, and his banking information. In his wallet was also all his passwords into the company’s financial records. He then placed the wallet back and left work. Once he was home, he had the chance to get into all of this information.
Steve’s motive was to gain access to all the money that his boss had along with the company’s money. Steve wanted that money and was able to hack into the banking spots in both his boss’s financial records and the company’s. He thought this would give a better life and so he used his bank account to open himself an account and make fraudulent purchases in his bosses’ name.
This story is to tell that identity theft in an organization can lead to financial losses and legal consequences and this has an impact on both the employees along with the company itself.
Awesome discussion post, you have some great ways here on how to prevent any disasters. I like the ones you have picked, and I too believe that they are the most important.
Security officers prevent disasters in many ways by taking the correct protective measures as well as having a response plan. A security officer has to develop a plan, and they can do this by working with the emergency planners as well as the management team. By having these plans, it helps because it gives communication protocols and evacuation routes if needed. This is very important as a disaster can lead to financial and data loss if not prevented in time.
Security officers can also look into installing more types of security into their company. This can be many things such as more cameras as well as controlling who can have access in and out of the building. They can also do training drills to ensure no one without any authority can access the building as well as drills on training what to do to prevent disasters quickly.
Third, they can build an outlined procedure to follow such as some communication protocols. This can help in a disaster because having an organized step plan is easier to follow for most. This is also a way to help the security officers and employees to follow it so they ensure they do not make a mistake that costs a fortune.
Lastly, they should be training both the new and old security officers, so they are up to date on the procedures. This will help them to understand the correct ways to prevent disasters, they should be contacting the emergency team, and they should also be listening for any strange things going on to report as soon as they can if they may think it is a threat of some sort.
This devotion is telling me that no matter the “storm” or hard times you face that Jesus will be there to help you overcome it. It also seems that if you are in a tough spot about to drown in your sorrow, reach out to God and ask for help, because he will be the one to bring you comfort and peace through your storm of hardship. This is a beautiful devotional to describe, and it tells me that God will help you even when you do not have the faith in yourself, God does, and he is there. If you seek out to God, he will forgive you for whatever it may be that you need help with if you can admit you have done wrong.
Your discussion is greatly worded, and I think you put a lot of good information into this discussion. Great job on explaining the attacks and the ways to prevent each of them.
There are a few more advanced attacks in cybersecurity and they each have their own problems towards the security officers or the SO’s. The ones that are “more advanced” are the advanced persistent threats, the AI cyberattacks, and the Zero-Day exploits along with a few others. The advanced persistent threats are made basically to steal any important data from the company this is also considered one of the advanced ones because it usually is not detectable for the SO’s for a longer time. The AI cyberattacks are the use of attackers using AI or (Artificial Intelligence) to make their attacks look more realistic to whoever they are aiming to attack, this makes it more believable because the use of AI in general is to make things look real that are actually very fake. This also makes the company think it is trustworthy because the use of the AI. Lastly, the Zero-day exploits are attacks that are used to also steam important information from company’s and this is named “Zero-Day” because they have no time to go back and correct the harm caused from these attacks, so this means that the damage is already done before anyone even knows its damaged so this is a very important one to watch for.
The SO’s or Security Officers can help prevent these attacks by doing a few things including having extra security over the important information. They can also make sure that all the trainees or new people have the correct training and are not given full access until fully trained to be able to help prevent the attacks. Security officers also need to make sure that they encrypt their information by making it unreadable to those without permissions to read it.
Some databased issues that I have encountered or heard about from others would be things like when you go onto certain websites, sometimes they want you to fill out personal information like your email, phone number, or sometimes you address or credit card information just to use the site. This is a major security issue, and you should never use websites that ask things like that unless you know for certain it is a real site. This has happened to me as well as family members and some of them have filled it out then started getting fake emails from people. This is dangerous to do because that site can save your information even if you delete it and this can lead to you getting hacked or something worse. Another that I experienced and still do from time to time would be I get fake emails and text messages saying things like “your package cannot be delivered due to insufficient information”, and they would want me to put my address in it, I don’t know why or what it is for exactly but I am a very cautious person with things like that so I never do it but if someone were to their personal information could be stolen. I also one time was out of town, and someone took three hundred dollars out of my account, and no one could figure out why and my brother had the same thing happen same amount and everything. This is the only thing that I ever had happen bad.
To me this devotional means that God is doing the ultimate thing by protecting his people from Satan. That God made a dedication to free or rescue us from Satan’s power. The saying above for Mark 3:24-27 means to me that nothing can stand forever if it becomes divided by something, not even us. Also, since Jesus is confident Satan will fail up above, this to me means that he can beat Satan and be able to give freedom to those under him. This devotional is kind of confusing to me to understand completely but to me the main point of it is Jesus is stronger than Satan therefore he wins, and that Jesus is freeing his people from Satan’s grasp. Such as this devotional saying that when Jesus builds a church Satan will prevail against it this to me is the meaning of the division between things behind destroyed, but Satan will be the one to fail in this sense.
The Software Development life cycle is important because it is one of the most important and main frameworks within the whole software development process. The Software Development life cycle or the SDLC is a crucial part of an organizations system and their development. The SDLC is known for doing multiple tests at every stage throughout the life cycle and this is because they must ensure that their organization as well as their customers have the best quality products. This is also crucial because it helps to let the organization know of any threats early and this is great because it allows them to reduce the chances of project failure and other things. The SDLC is simply a very important and effective way to organize the organizations data and keep it secure at the same time; it is also easily manageable and also has both scalability and manageability so their company can in fact produce the best quality product.
