Cybersecurity Consultation

For this interactive assignment you will take on the role of a newly appointed data security consultant for a mental health clinic. The clinic has adopted a new system that allows clinicians to take and store notes from individual counseling sessions in their clients’ files in a far more effective and efficient manner. This new system has lessened operational costs for the clinic allowing them to lower client costs per session, as well as allowing for more integrative care within the clinic. This system has shown improved benefits in the standard of care for all patients. In a recent news report, however, this same system was cited as having been recently breached by hackers looking for personal data. This system has been adopted for use in thousands of clinics across the country and this is the first report of a security breach. The clinic now faces the dilemma of whether to continue using the current, beneficial system, or revert to the older system that had time-tested security benefits.

In your role as a consultant, you have been tasked by the clinic’s board of directors to make a recommendation about whether to keep the current system, or to switch back to the old system. Evaluate the ethical and legal issues related to the clinic’s dilemma and create a presentation for the board.

For your initial post, you will create a three-five minute screencast video of a PowerPoint presentation for the clinic’s board addressing the security issues related to the system and providing them with your recommendation. For the screencast video portion, you may use any screencasting platform you wish. (Quick-start guides for Screencast-O-Matic (Links to an external site.) and Jing (Links to an external site.) are provided for your convenience.)

Your PowerPoint presentation must include the following elements.

Explain your recommendation about whether to keep the current system or revert back to the older system.
Describe at least one ethical and/or legal issue that the clinic must consider as a result of your recommendation.
Describe at least one additional technique that the clinic can utilize to further protect itself against cyber crime.
Explain the basic legal rights of the clinic if it is affected by cyber crime in the future.

Why don’t you see Shasta brand trucks and delivery people, as you do for Coke and Bud? Why has Shasta elected to use a different channel of distribution?

Distribution channel

Consider each of the following products
Coca-Cola classic
Shasta brand cola
Budweiser beer
Schwan’s ice cream
Used CD of Lady Gaga
Dell notebook computer

To the best of your ability (using your textbook and Internet sources as your guide), consider the distribution channel of each of these products from their original source of manufacture to the place where the final consumer would purchase and/or consume them. Assume we visited each product at every stage throughout the distribution channel. Think about the following: What would we see? Who, in the channel, would be involved? How would they be involved?

After considering the issues noted in the bullet points above, answer any three of the following questions:

1) Have you ever noticed Budweiser and Coca-Cola trucks in the parking lots of grocery stores? Their drivers are dressed in Bud or Coke uniforms, and are responsible for stocking the products on grocery shelves. Although there are similarities, the channels of distribution for Bud and Coke are quite different. How are they different? Think about where the product is “made.”

2) Why don’t you see Shasta brand trucks and delivery people, as you do for Coke and Bud? Why has Shasta elected to use a different channel of distribution?

3) Why does Schwan’s elect to sell door-to-door? Wouldn’t it be less expensive and more efficient for them to sell through conventional grocery outlets?

4) Is it advantageous or disadvantageous for Dell to sell its computers on-line as well as in discount stores?

5) What are the means by which “used” products (e.g., Lady Gaga CDs) are distributed? How is the channel different than for new products? Or, is it different?
