Information Brief

Read the following scenario and use it as the basis for your answers to the associated essay questions:

Scenario

You are an information system security professional for CCS International, a company that provides IT personnel for a variety of government and private contracts. The organization to which you are currently contracted hires a new chief security officer (CSO) after the previous CSO retires. Although the new CSO is in charge of security for the organization’s data assets, networks, and computer systems, her background and most recent experience is in physical security, and she knows very little about information security. Your manager explains that you have been assigned the task of preparing an information brief for the new CSO, which will provide her with the basics of cyber security, acquaints her with the current threats facing your organization’s data infrastructure, and the legal issues related to protecting the enterprise. Prepare a slide presentation covering (at a minimum) the following topics:

What is cyber security, and what are some of its key concepts?
What are the most significant threats to your data, and what are some of the root causes of those threats?
Are cyber criminals a real danger to your enterprise? Why or why not?
What is risk management, and how can the risk management process help you protect your infrastructure and data?
What are some computer security best practices that you would recommend, and how will they help protect your IT assets?
If your organization does become a victim of a cyber-crime or a security incident, how will you respond? What types of evidence would be important to your investigation, and how would they be used? What would law enforcement’s role be in your incident response plan?
Are there any laws at the local, state, federal, or even international level that protect your organization by imposing penalties on cyber criminals? Provide at least one example of a cyber-crime court case, and explain both its outcome and its significance.
What do you need from the CSO to best protect your organization? Justify your requests.

Virtue Ethics in Professional Life or Social Contract Theory in Professional Life

You can choose either topic (whichever one you are more comfortable with).

If you would like to go with the VIrtue Ethics I was thinking something along the lines of talking about how moral virtue comes about as a result of habitat and intellectual virtue comes with experience and time and how lacking or having those good habits can affect someone in the workplace.

If you would like to choose Social Contract Theory in the workplace you can write about whatever you please as long as it follows the rubric (both of these topics were covered in class)

How do ethics impact the environment of the fire department and fire service?

When it comes to building a strong workplace culture, fire service has significant advantages. Work in the fire service naturally comes with a shared mission, rituals and traditions, and everyday experiences. All of this provides the foundation for a strong, unique culture in the fire service. But individual departments still have to work to foster a healthy culture in every station and every section of the department. Ethics in the fire service are not a given. Even with the strong overall culture in the fire service, individual departments can become toxic places to work if a healthy culture isn’t maintained. Fire departments must create and sustain a culture that encourages integrity, open communication, trust, and ethical behavior.
