If a corporate IT director has been asked by their boss to program software so revenue will appear higher than it really should you have several options? Basically you have three main paths to choose. You could do what you have been asked to do and program the software. You could simply tell the executive that you are not comfortable doing it and just leave it alone. Or you could not do what you have been asked to do and report it to human resources and or the proper authorities.

Personnel receiving bomb threats or warnings from callers should, to the degree possible, should attempt to get as much information from the caller as he can. Take good notes when talking

The Department of Defense (DoD) is America 's oldest and largest government agency, with military traces dating way back to pre-Revolutionary times. The Department of Defense has since grown and evolved with the nation, hence becoming the national’s largest employer with over 1.4 million active duty soldiers, 1.1 million National Guard and Reserve forces, and 718,000 civilian personnel. With such a huge organization does come with a huge network, and security infrastructure network, and the burden to protect the information transferred or stored on that network. This means information is a strategic asset to the Department of Defense; it’s therefor the goal of this security policy to provide guidelines of implementing

It is the responsibility of all staff to promote and maintain a safe working environment. In the event of a confrontation with an irate staff member over the request of a status update on assignment I would attempt to utilize the following techniques to diffuse the situation. The steps would be listening, approach with an open mind, speak in a calm voice and use appropriate body language, control emotions, document, and work through the current DBO workplace violence processes.

These type of warning signs can only be attributed to someone who is affiliated with a department of organization, there is also the distinct threat from a random attacker. In order to stay prepared for an attack or an active shooter there must be steps taken to ensure a fire department is prepared to react to a possible mass casualty attack. When developing a preparedness model there are a few steps that must be followed, planning, organizing, training, equipping, exercising, evaluating, and taking corrective actions.

If the first person makes the threat just because of a fellow employee or shareholder. This will enable the victim to make a disclosure that aims at his or her protection from threat.3

On Wednesday March……….during lunch Joanne Svec in passing said that she had seen Mary Herrick when she was delivering the mail and explained that Tim came into the office earlier that morning very agitated and complaining. He told her he was going to “blow”. She indicated to us that she was, “very afraid” and that he has an arsenal of weapons. She also indicated that Jane Hayes, who was eating lunch with us as well, felt the same way although Jane was not in the office when this exchange occurred. Tracey and I were both stunned by this information and really didn’t know what to say. After lunch Tracey and I spoke about what was said and from my perspective I could not understand why Joanne did not bring this matter to Tracey, her immediate supervisor. Based on all of our training on safety protocol if Joanne felt the possibility of imminent danger existed Tracey should have been notified.

It is always a scary prospect of someone or a group using something like a weapon of mass destruction on our home soil. It should be a high priority to be prepared in case of the unimaginable and our country needs to face the reality of our modern times with those who are out there that want to cause us harm and take proper steps to prevent or stop this. Some of these ways are creating government acts in order to help different agencies allocate resources or stockpile in case of emergencies or educating agencies on the realization of the possibility of an attack and help with training their employees.

At this point of the incident, it has not been classified as an incident until human resources determines that an incident had occurred. Then the most appropriate incident reporting method will be used to notify the incident response team, preferably a telephone communication method should be used instead of email to avoid tipping the attacker off. The incident response team will assume the responsibility to alert and assemble required resources needed to begin incident handling

and alerts have been conducted to familiarize staff with the procedures developed to prevent violence. Hopefully, the concerns are brought out in the open and acknowledged by the entire staff; therefore, any foreseeable problems will be prevented with no

In order to properly prepare for a terrorist incident at the strategic or tactical level there must be a threat assessment taken for each of an organizations assets. This assessment will ask a few basic questions. What are the capabilities of the terrorist organizations? What type of terrorist attack is most likely to occur against this asset? What can be done to protect against this type of terrorist attack (GAO 2002, p.4)? In order to answer these questions an organization must have a thorough knowledge of the vulnerabilities of the different types of its assets which include fixed, mobile, and personnel. Once the vulnerabilities are determined, steps must be taken to secure the assets focusing on the most critical.

There were a number of factors that contributed to the breach, which had they been addressed or had corresponding mitigation responses in place, would have reduced the likelihood that the breach would have taken place, or at a minimum reduce the impact of the attack. These items range from policy related issues, technology implementations, and security management and maintenance. Although I believe a number of these areas were in the process of being addressed, based on the information gathered regarding the details of the incident, it appears that it was still in many areas insufficient and would not have prevented an incident even if there had been more time available to perform the implementations.
