The Cybersecurity Threat Landscape

Advanced persistent threats (APTs) have been thrust into the spotlight due to their advanced tactics, techniques, procedures, and tools. These APTs are resourced unlike other types of cyber threat actors.

Your chief technology officer (CTO) has formed teams to each develop a detailed analysis and presentation of a specific APT, which she will assign to the team.

Review the APT document and respond to these questions in a 2 to 3-page eassy format

: Ethics in Cybersecurity

o Do you think the vulnerability(ies) exploited by the APT constitute an ethical failure by the defender? Why or why not?

o For the APT your group studied, were there identifiable harms to privacy or property? How are these harms linked to C-I-A? If not, what ethically significant harms could result from the scenario your group researched?

o For the APT your group studied, when the targeted organization identified the breach, was the disclosure made with transparency? Do you feel the organization acted ethically? Why or why not?

Essential Elements

Students will develop a PPT that will demonstrate substantive understanding of the six components of reading as a process: Oral Language, Phonological Awareness, Phonics, Fluency, Vocabulary, and Comprehension.

The Essential Elements of Reading Instruction PPT will include an overview of EACH of the six components of reading including:

  1. Definition of EACH component: (Minimum 1 paragraph/ 1 slide)
    • Define the component in your own words as if you are explaining it to a parent. (Do not copy and paste from your source)

    Assessments for EACH component: (3 separate slides, 1 paragraph for each assessment)

    • Identify at least 3 assessments, or which 1 must be formal and 1 must be informal.
    • Provide the name for your assessment and the type (formal or informal).
    • Provide a brief description of your assessment (How do you do the assessment, how do you score, how can you monitor progress?)

    Evidence-based strategies for EACH componenet: (3 separate slides, 1 paragraph for each strategy)

    • Identify at least 3 evidence-based strategies that are specifically for the selected component. (e.g., “guided practice”, “eye-contact”, “repetition” are not specific strategies for any Essential Element)
    • Briefly describe the strategies (do not just list them)
    • Explain how the strategy can be extended for home learning

    Credible Resources

    • Use at least 5 related websites and/or resources
    • At least 3 must be from different sources

Discuss how e-learning, competency frameworks and improved knowledge-sharing at Meltos Co. might help to cut costs and make the HRM at Meltos Co. more strategic. How might the firm seek to ensure a return on investment for its learning and development activity?

CASE  STUDY

Read the case given below and answer the questions:

Meltos Co.is one of the world’s largest bakery businesses with a significant market share in many of the world’s biggest bakery  markets, including many emerging markets. It has a long and proud tradition, stretching back more than 150 years, including a long history of developing its employees, which has remained part of its ethos during its progress to becoming a global company.

Despite very positive sales figures over the last 12months, Meltos Co. has prioritized streamlining the business to make it more competitive and has placed a strong emphasis on reducing costs over the next 18 months. Despite being keen to preserve its longstanding reputation as a firm that is committed to developing all its employees, in respect of learning and development, this ‘streamlining’ activity has focused on:

  • ensuring a clear return on investment in training activities
  • changing the way that learning programs are delivered and being more creative in developing approaches to learning.
  • connecting training activities to the strategic needs of the firm.

The most important driver of the assessment of its training provision at Meltos Co.is change. Whilst performing well in the marketplace, senior management continue to express discontent with levels of productivity and employee performance. Moreover, senior management has determined that the company needs to become more flexible and adaptable to respond to change in its market context, for example by an ability to adapt organizational structures to meet new business needs or through the introduction of technological innovation. Therefore, Meltos Co. wants to move towards a system of continuous improvement by creating a culture whereby workers are empowered to implement small incremental changes, rather than have substantial change imposed on them from time to time.

Traditionally, training needs analysis at Meltos Co. has been ‘gap-led’. In other words, training tends to be focused where Meltos Co. identifies a gap in capability – for example, where the introduction of new technology requires worker skill to be updated, company policy is changed or a key worker leaves the firm, requiring training to be provided to their replacement. Typically, this gap-led identification of need is conducted at a local level, with little reference made to the wider national or international workforce.

Currently, the company runs several large training events each year designed to update manufacturing staff on everything from health and safety changes, business strategy and company performance to the adoption of new production technology. This is sometimes coupled with skills training for these workers as and when appropriate.

The head of learning and development, (L&D)responding to a call to cut costs from the HR director, is now of the opinion, however, that such long training programs, often of up to three or four days, are no longer the most cost-effective and efficient means by which to develop the staff. Such training has the dual problem of requiring regular investment and repeat sessions to cover workers on different shifts or at different plants, as well as leading to undesirable downtime of certain aspects of production. In particular, the head of T&D is keen to reduce the reliance on external training providers to design and deliver interventions to different workforce groups, from senior management to shop-floor workers.

Nabeel , the head of learning and development at Meltos Co. recently attended a seminar at a local university on ‘the changing nature of workplace HRM’. He was slightly alarmed to find out that much of the company’s practice was seen as outdated. In particular, he was interested in examining how some more contemporary approaches and techniques in HRM could help the company both reduce costs and better performance through continuous improvement.
