Your week 1 discussion short paper assignment is to write a workplace newsletter article. As you work on this type of discussion item, think about the newsletters you receive in your workplace. Are they engaging? Do they capture and keep your attention? Are they interesting?
Prepare a newsletter article where you identify and discuss the growing reliance upon digital (online) delivery of government services. Your audience is a group of federal agency managers and contractors who receive a monthly newsletter on “Best Practices for Digital Government.” Your article will appear in a special issue dedicated to addressing the measures taken to reduce COVID-19 exposure for employees and customers of federal agencies.
The readers of the newsletter may not be fully aware of how the closure of physical offices for walk-in service and the shift to digital government services has created cybersecurity issues, so you should consider explaining these concepts and giving examples. The primary purpose of your newsletter is to identify and discuss the growing risks associated with the implementation of digital government services.
Your newsletter article should be 5 to 7 paragraphs long and may contain bullet points if appropriate.
Provide in-text citations and references for 3 or more authoritative sources. Put the reference list at the end of your posting.

Greetings class,
Organizing IT security policies by domain offers improved clarity and focus, ensuring that each policy is tailored to address specific security needs and risks associated with distinct areas of the organization. This approach allows for more relevant and actionable guidelines, making it easier for employees to understand and adhere to security measures. Additionally, segmenting policies by domain enhances manageability, as each domain can be independently updated, audited, and revised, streamlining the compliance and review processes. Organizing IT security policies by domain ensures comprehensive coverage, clear responsibilities, and scalability, enabling the organization to adapt its security measures as it grows or changes.
While organizing IT security policies by domain offers clarity and focus, it also presents the disadvantage of potential fragmentation and inconsistency. Each domain-specific policy might develop independently, leading to overlaps, gaps, or contradictions between policies in different domains. This can confuse employees navigating multiple policies, potentially undermining overall security effectiveness. Maintaining and updating numerous domain-specific policies can also become resource-intensive and complex, requiring coordinated efforts to ensure alignment and coherence across the organization.
Due to its dynamic and boundary-spanning nature, applying security policies can be particularly challenging in the “Remote Access” domain. Remote access involves securing connections from various locations, devices, and networks, each with different security postures. The diversity of endpoints, from home offices to mobile devices, introduces numerous vulnerabilities that are harder to manage and control. Ensuring secure remote access requires robust encryption, multi-factor authentication, and constant monitoring to detect and mitigate threats in real time. Moreover, the difficulty is compounded by the rapid evolution of remote work technologies and the increasing sophistication of cyber threats. Employees’ adherence to security practices while working remotely can be inconsistent, adding another layer of complexity.

As the CIO your job is to educate and keep your employees and the corporate information  safe and private.
CyberSecurity Management is a complex field. In any company you will encounter employees who know very little about the field and how to manage their own security. Careless or uninformed staff  are the second most likely cause of a serious security breach, second only to malware.
Sometimes personnel may take cybersecurity requirements too lightly, leading to dramatic consequences for the organizations they work for.
Your job is to create a short 3 minute  “Educational ” video, with audio, that will be shared with all new employees, designed to teach them about the importance of cybersecurity and their responsibility to keep CyberSafe.
Please include the following information:
1. As your employees are new to the concept of cybersecurity, you will need to provide information about the field.
2. Information about the top cyber threats targeted at your employees and how to avoid becoming a victim.
3. A copy of your script for the video.
4. Always remember to include all of your references in APA or MLA formatting. 
(Moreover just a script for me to read and make the video)

This assignment requires that you review the article, Tammy Pettinato Oltz, ARTICLE: Educating Robot-Proof Attorneys, 97 N.D. L. Rev. 185 (2022) and deconstruct it into its primary elements, namely:
The Research Question;
The Thesis;
The Claims or argument;
The Evidence or supporting facts; and,

1. Locate  the article using NexisUni and save it into a Microsoft Word document. Locate the elements by annotating with the “highlight” tool and/or using the Comments tool (available on the “Review” tab on the top of the page) to provide remarks in the margins.  
2. Briefly critique the article by identifying both its strong elements and those that were less compelling.
3. Finally, assess this resource’s utility to you after you have broken it down through this deconstruction process and understand the argument and facts that the author used to support his/her claims. Provide your answers in a separate Word document. Your critique should be no longer than a single double-spaced written page.
Please provide a complete citation for your chosen resource in either Bluebook or APA format (do not mix the two styles).
THIS EXERCISE WILL PREPARE YOU TO WRITE YOUR PAPERS.

Case Study Analysis
Networks and personal computers are under continuous assault from hackers. The types of attacks vary widely in complexity and severity, but according to the text, hackers generally have one of three motives for compromising network:
Financial fraud,
Political reasons, or
Personal reasons.
Search the Internet to find an example of a hacking activity or situation that represent a cyber-crime, but is different from any examples you used in other assignments for this course.
Write a critical essay that meets the following requirements:
Cite and briefly describe your example.
Apply what you have learned from the course to this point to identify arguments both in support of and are critical of the behavior of the attackers.
Discuss which of the three motives best describes the hacker’s intentions and why that motive is the correct one.
Discuss how an information security policy or planning could have impacted the outcome of this event.
Your paper should be 3-4-pages in length and conform to APA guidelines. Include at least two credible references
