How Information Security Has Become A Critical Function Within All Organizations Across The World

Intelligence analysts in the IC, DHS, and FBI are tasked with the primary responsibility of developing threat assessments against the United States and national critical infrastructure. The

The EO13636 directs the Attorney General Office (AG), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the Director of National Intelligence shall create unclassified, and in some cases with respect to the classification of the material, will share all Cybersecurity threat intelligence. The report will only contain threats and will not contain any names, any current or future operations, law enforcement, current and pending investigations, or methods which were (Tehan, 2013).

Despite the presence of network security devices such as firewalls and other security appliances, today's corporate networks are still vulnerable to both internal and external attacks by hackers intent on creating havoc. By proactively

The most recents detections of how cyber warfare is inevitably coming was the accusations of Russia hacking the the Democratic National Committee and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s email’s releasing damaging evidence against them which ultimately lead to Donald Trump being named the President of The United States (Diamond, 2016). The effects of cyber warfare have leaked over in to televise series, forming shows such as CSI cyber, and the gaming world, Call Of Duty Infinite Warfare. Neglect regarding cyber security can: undermine the reputation of both the government and elected officials; force unacceptable expenditures associated with the cost of cleaning up after security breaches; cripple governments' abilities to respond to a wide variety of homeland security emergency situations or recover from natural or man-made threats; and disable elected officials' ability to govern (Lohrmann, 2010). Classified information such as overseas operators and attacks, missile locations, response plans and weaknesses, and much more cripples America’s ability to defend itself from enemies both foreign and domestic. To combat cyber terrorism is the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act, or CISA. In an article titled “Why Cybersecurity Information Sharing Is A Positive Step for Online Security” it is discussed that under CISA, the Department of Homeland security will have more responsibility for domestic cybersecurity. CISA’s fundamental purpose is to better enable cybersecurity information to be shared between the private and public sectors (2016). The sharing of threat information between public and private sectors can give the the United States a head start by allowing them to share information rapidly and more often to combat enemy threats while still providing safety for privacy and civil

Among one of the missions of The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is to protect and preserve the security of the Cyberspace in the country. The principal objective of this Security Plan is to give instructions and direction for the Department’s workers and help the Homeland Security to create best practices and strategies in the IT security system.

H.R. 1731, the National Cybersecurity Protection Advancement (NCPA) Act, is bipartisan bill passed unanimously by the Committee on Homeland Security. This pro-privacy, pro-security bill ensures the sharing of cyber threats is transparent and timely. It strengthens the NCCIC’s role as the lead civilian interface for cyber threat information sharing by: Providing liability protections for the voluntary sharing of cyber threat indicators and defensive measures with the NCCIC or private-to-private. Granting liability protections for private companies to conduct network awareness of their own information systems. Allowing companies to operate defensive measures and conduct network awareness on information systems they own or operate. The NCPA Act also ensures personal information

This specific federal agency continually focuses on the importance of information sharing; it is committed to ensuring that all levels of law enforcement and those on the front lines have this information available (Homeland Security, d). This information gathering/sharing relies on using Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF), preventing and combating serious crime agreements (PCSC), and agreements to share information on lost and stolen passports. DHS also works closely with the FBI to increase sharing of information with partners. In addition, the other resources that are relied on to help with this include working with national network of fusion center, nationwide suspicious activity reporting initiative, national

Romans belonged to an ancient culture where both religion and law took place. However, religion played much higher role in their life. Hannibal is the text that can easily prove that the religion but not the law was in favor for Roman culture. The reason why Romans should honor Romulus is that he founded Rome. However, by the will of heaven, his code was incommensurate with Romans’ greatness: “If it be true, as no one doubts, that the Roman people excelled all other nations in warlike merit…”.

Without a doubt, cybersecurity is one of the biggest threats the DHS faces. As technology evolves, this threat will continue to grow. What is the department doing about it? A cyber-attack could cause serious damage to our critical infrastructure if it was done properly. This is something that must be protected! The first step is to protect our federal networks and critical infrastructure. “The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) works with each federal civilian department and agency to promote the adoption of common policies and best practices that are risk-based and able to effectively respond to the pace of ever-changing threats. As systems are protected, alerts can be issued at machine speed when events are detected

Since the attacks on September 11th, 2001, intelligence activities has been one of the most controversial issues facing this country with one of the most controversial being the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Created in November of 2002 and concepted just two weeks after the attacks, the DHS focuses in five goals; prevent terrorism and enhance security, secure and manage the borders, enforce and administer immigration laws, safeguard and secure cyberspace,

As organizations reliance on technology continues to grow so has the amount of cyber attacks which occur compromising organizations information systems and networks. These cyber attacks can have drastic effect on organization financially including downtime or even regulatory fines. Due to this the need to be able to properly identify assets, their vulnerabilities and threats, and the risk they pose to the organization has become a must for ensuring the protection of organizations information systems and networks. This have gave way to the creation of threat modeling process to aid organizations beater identify and mitigate the risk to their organizations security.

I have always had an interest in art growing up, but I never took any classes until high school. In high school, I took three years of art class where I absolutely fell in love with art where I could create a work of art of my own from my own ideas. When I first applied to LSU, I registered my major as Undecided Arts, but I didn’t know exactly what I could do with an Art degree. I then decided to change my major to General Business because I thought it was very broad and an easy major. While taking my business classes, I realized that I did not have any interest in business and that I should do something I truly loved. I knew I wanted to do something with art, but I wasn’t quite sure of what major I wanted to major in. I did research into what

Safety of information is the most valuable asset in any organization particular those who provide financial service to others. Threats can come from a variety of sources such as human threats, natural disasters and technical threats. By identifying the potential threats to the network, security measure can be taken to combat these threats, eliminate them or reduce the likelihood and impact if they should occur.

This short fiction-based fable may seem to be suited to the younger demographic. The deeper meaning and moral lesson, however, applies to everyone in general. It educates on one of the most important aspects of human living and hence it is applicable to everyone who can understand its contextual meaning. The Five Boons represents the five fundamental choices a man was offered by a fairy. These include Fame, Love, Riches, Pleasure and Death (Mark, 2016). The man made four consecutive wrong choices before finally realizing the most valuable of all. He realized when it was too late, and he succumbed to his death. The story, therefore, concludes with a very tragic ending.
