Intel is one of the most reputable technology brands within Silicon Valley but also worldwide. Our reach expands to every corner of the globe, hence the information we possess is crucial. Whether it be information about buyers or the code that helps make our technology superior to every other company’s. Our cyber security needs to be the strongest possible. Many companies and technology giants such as Sony, Lenovo, and Equifax have had their information stolen or altered. Although, the odds of our systems being hacked are low we must always be aware that the possibility lies very near us. As a company known for its incredible prowess in the technology world we must make our cyber security the pedigree of the industry. McAfee our former …show more content…
Our action was swift and immediate, the money we invested into equality should be matched and invested into cyber security. The payout on this investment would be nearly as astounding as the return on our investment into diversity and equality. Intel needs to spread its power through the cyber security world once again and show the technology world why Intel is so highly regarded. Companies like Elon Musk’s Tesla, will soon be looking to hire companies for cyber security for self driven cars (Morgan 5). Intel could easily create a new division for self driving cars and create a new market for cyber security. By getting ahead of this idea, Intel will be able to monopolize this cyber security sector and gain contracts with a plethora of companies interested in the new self driving technology. This cyber security could also be implemented with companies like Uber which have a massive user interface and are interested in utilizing self driving cars in the near future. Their security and the security of their passengers is one of their highest priorities so selling them a security system for their automobiles would be viable. While pitching companies from Uber to Toyota, we can also show the clients our technology which could run their cars smoother faster and allow the processor to be more powerful. This sales pitch allows our entire company's product range to be displayed and will hopefully increase
I was personally confronted with this very issue a few hours after attending the recent NACD Research Triangle Chapter session “Why Board and C-Suite Alignment is Critical to Managing Cyber Risk.”
While working as the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) at the Army Materiel Command, the command was under constant attack by hackers. The Army’s current network defense system was woefully inadequate for protecting the commands 140 locations worldwide. After sustaining a couple of very high profile attacks using these tools, it became evident that something else was needed. One of the command’s subordinate commands was the Army Research Labs and is on one the foremost research labs in the world. One of the labs mission was Cyber Defense and came under my preview as it program manager. The lab had developed several cyber security tools and had been testing them very successfully on a several platforms. The power of this tool
“In reaction to these challenges, they’re being more proactive about preventing security incidents and breaches by learning about new threats, regularly educating employees about risks, and investing in more advanced security solutions,” says Sanjay Castelino, vice president at Spiceworks, a professional network for the IT industry.
The ITF tries to make the public and private sector work together more effectively. It also ensures that the policies are adopted widely among security enterprises. It is understood that protecting critical infrastructures is in the interest of both the government and the private sectors. In reality, private sectors usually have different business priorities that need to be addressed before security. Even though there are independent market-base incentives already in place that organizations can take advantage of, cyber risks outgrow the pace of security improvements. To address the problems and to coordinate with the private sectors and provide incentives for them, the Incentives Working Group was created to study different incentive options and their cost benefit to encourage best security practice implementation across organizations (“Analytic Report: Executive Order 13636 Cybersecurity Incentives Study” 4). To encourage organizations to create and provide security products and services for the Framework, the government provides grants for R&D and allows these organizations to recover their investments with special rates. For the Framework adopters, they are provided with financial and tax incentives to offset the cost of adoption (6). Furthermore, the government introduces regulations that place capped security liabilities for adopters and
American management has the same problem as Nortel's management as described in the video; American management doesn’t see any threats yet because there is no real evidence of what is being stolen so nobody knows what is being copied and used in china and no one can prove where its coming from, what is being taken, and how its being used. The ignorance of American management in the category of cyber espionage and what is really going on behind the scenes of their networks is what is causing a lot of cyber espionage to continue to happen and continue to drive American businesses to
To begin, security is now becoming a more contentious issue in developed nations as globalization begins to gain momentum. Cyber security in particular is now entering the forefront of popular conversation as it is now becoming a threat to security. With the advent of the internet, possible threats arise from seemingly everywhere. The internet provides nearly unlimited amounts of access points for individuals to steal or corrupt data. The same is true for high tech components in automobiles. Undoubtedly many of these components will be used to provide luxury or value added services to consumers. These services might include streaming video within the auto mobile, the ability to access the internet, GPS, or other internet based technologies. As these technologies become more ubiquitous, the threat of a security breach or hack becomes more profound. As such, proper measures must be taken to insure the safety of the both the manufacturer and the consumer (Mack, 2013).
In the previous five years, cybersecurity has turned into the most looked for after calling around the world. More than 90 percent of respondents to an overview directed by the Ponemon Institute (2011) detailed being a casualty to cyberattacks amid the most recent year, costing all things considered more than $2 million for each association. This number keeps on ascending as the two programmers and security devices progress. As indicated by PwC, roughly 33% of all U.S. organizations are as of now utilizing digital protection (Lindros and Tittel, 2016).

Security departments can also add value to an organization by sharing knowledge within the company to better build a place for its customers. With so many aspects of a person’s daily life going digital, understanding how cyber security is vital to every person is important. An example of this would be Apple’s value of personal security through its value of corporate security.
Two key concerns are being prime hacking targets, and reputational damages and loss of proprietary data from cyber-attacks. The latest huge cyber-attack on Equifax has to do with lack of skilled cybersecurity talents, with security tools not being properly managed a company’s ability to respond and mitigates breaches or attacks is compromised. The most alarming problem is that in certain cases it takes companies more than three months to figure out that their systems have been breached , this is as a result hired cybersecurity professional not being able to determine the scope of an attack and how to remediate the damage. At the rate of cyber-attacks, skilled cybersecurity professionals should be every company’s priority.
In today’s world technology has evolved to the point where a large amount of information is stored in cyberspace. It is because of this type of storage people around the world have an easier time at accessing information than ever before. The time before the late 20th century gathering information was long and tedious to get a book that the library did not own would take at least a couple of weeks depending on the time period or it may not have been possible to obtain that book. But now people can access a vast amount of information in a matter of minutes. Example, in modern times if someone wanted to know about a different culture they could simple look up the information on a computer or any device that had access to
A final portion of our information security review revolves around specific policy enhancements we would recommend for the organization. Due to the unique nature of our recent acquisitions, their operating location, and the Board’s recent decision to emphasize a migration to the cloud, this study strongly
In this modern world, Information Technology forms the integral part of any kind of business. In the 21st century, countries across the globe have come to rely on complex computer networks that form the infrastructural backbone of even the most basic necessities of life, including electric power grids, global finance, food distribution, medical care, clean drinking water, petroleum production, and most types of communication. The protection of such networks, known as cyber security, is among the highest priorities in the civilized world, alongside planning and operations for major contingencies, including antiterrorism and land warfare. (Al-Saud, 2012:75).In Middle East region, the IT industry is dynamically growing along
Almost all kind of large and small organizations might face increasing number of attacks into their network or intellectual property. This may lead to data disclosure, data destruction, and damage of organization’s reputation. There are numerous threats in the cyber space which might be capable of stealing, destroying or making use of out sensitive data for financial and non-financial gains. As the amount of computer, mobile and internet users increases, so does the number of exploiters.
The connection between our company’s network security and end users is clear with data that has been reported. We should not only provide antivirus software, but create an education program emphasizing prevention, detection and adopting a “security” way of life. Everyone, at all levels, is responsible for our security.
