If security can never be perfect, how should you manage against malicious threats?My classmate answers1-Clearly a major concern in IT today is not only the threat of malicious attacks, but the growth rate and ease it can be these days for a relatively low computer knowledgeable person to execute one. There are communities out there strictly created to understanding viruses and other attacks and how to execute them; some even put a package together with a client and software for people to download and share and then attack a target. In my opinion this question isnt just how you should manage the attack through what devices you should have in place, but also establishing policy. A threat can come from anywhere, but malicious attacks usually come through your network. Having a strong security parimeter up with firewalls, and intrusion detection systems is a start. It would also be best to utilize anti-virus software and ensure they are up to date. Many framework packages are available from a variety of security vendors that help you establish all possible entry points, but first you must know where those entry points are. Your IT department needs to know every protocol port that's open, an audit log tracking every user and so forth. Every hardware system, database, disk storage should all be clustered and/or have redundant drives; utilizing RAID to have fail-over, and so forth. Establishing a security policy in your company is the best way to make sure your internal users are following documented and strict guidelines. This can be as simple as establishing strong password protection practices, and ensuring that they understand the rules against external storage devices, copying data, or abusing their privileges & access. Policy is basically setting laws around your users to ward off any internal attacks.2-Being able to manage against malicious threats will be no easy feat, since obtaining a perfect IT system security is not achievable.  For the organizations particular system the need have the appropriate amount of money invested in IT security is important.  A security audit must be done to assess the systems vulnerabilities and then the IT leaders or management can determine which portions pose biggest threats to them and how they want to handle it.    Staying up to date with anti-virus and spyware software setup within the IT infrastructure will help to manage against malicious threats.  That may seem like an “easy” thing to do but an organization would want to make sure they have implemented the most beneficial anti-virus and/or firewall software to complement their systems.  The “better” the software the more it will cost as well.  Some organizations may not need the more advanced software, with all of the features available out there.  If the software is not managed properly what they need or want it to do it could possibly hurt them in the long run. A well documented procedure must be established on how the security department and IT infrastructure will operate in the event a security issue or malicious threat.  The identification of the responsibilities will be very important to make sure the appropriate teams take ownership of their realms.  This procedure will have to be very detailed as it could have a huge impact on the business operations if the appropriate business practices are not put in place to ensure continuity. 

I need in basic english and as much as you can normal words since my english is my second language so if you make it advanced words i might be in trouble write a 4 page paper that will do four things: 1) Discern what the author’s argument is; 2) Identify the sources that the author relies on to make his or her argument; 3) Explain the author’s conclusion, and; 4) Explain why you chose this particular topic about which to write your paper. The paper should be presented in essay-format that demonstrates your ability to write a university-level paper.  That means that your paper must have a point to it, have an introduction, a body, and a conclusion, as you focus on the main points outlined above.  You must use Standard English in your writing, avoiding colloquial expressions, contractions, and passive voice, while maintaining good grammar usage, proper capitalization and punctuation, correct verb conjugation, and appropriate word choices at a sophisticated level.  Your essay should be 4 pages, double-spaced, and have page numbers printed on every page (except the title page and the first page, neither of which take a page number).  It must have at the top of the paper a formal bibliographic citation for the article according to the Chicago Manual of Style (available in Reference Section of Cook and on the Cook home page; Cook also has an electronic subscription to the Chicago Manual of Style). Failure to include a proper citation for your article will result in a loss of 5 points on the paper. The paper should have as few quotations by the author as possible, because such usage takes away from my ability to see how you read the material and synthesize it and then write about it.  Your paper should reflect what you understand from the article, allowing your reader to grasp what the article is about without having read it (because I will not have read every possible article out there from which you are choosing). 

IT is a major part of all businesses. I consider it to be the backbone of a business. In order for IT to contribute to the overall success of a business, they have to be completed involved in all aspects of the business decisions. IT is very diverse and has a lot of different technical areas. So, there just can't be one leader in IT. Different personnel have different areas of expertise. Everyone in IT must be a leader so that all of these technical areas have a voice in the business decision-making. This quote is stating just that. Everyone in IT must step up and take a leadership role to support the business. Everyone in IT has to contribute to the business strategies and make sure the business reaches its goals. A business must establish a supportive work environment. Everyone must be open-minded and willing to listen to new ideas from there colleagues. The business will increase its efficiency when they have all of IT acting as leaders.A business must be willing to take the approach that makes them the most competitive in the business market. If they stay on the track of making sure that there whole IT staff takes a leadership role, they will definitely be competitive in their line of business. For those companies that don't have their whole IT staff as leaders, it will be hard for them to stay competitive. They will be at a disadvantage because they are not maximizing the technical knowledge they are paying for in there employees.
