Why I Learned New Techniques

An aspect of my teaching that I am interested in making more effective is my ability to engage and involve parents in their children’s learning and development.

Since the onset of the first packet switching event that many believe to be beginning of the internet, no other technology besides the printing press has ever transformed the ability to deliver information. Although the internet is used by a large percentage of the civilized world, few Americans realize how vital cyberspace is to our national infrastructure. Today, we are faced with even more threats although it has been a recognized problem since 2009, when President Barrack Obama said “The cyber threat is one of the most serious economic and national security challenges we face as a nation. It’s also clear that we’re not as prepared as we should be, as a government or as a country (Obama, 2009).” Every industry that operates in the United States is dependent on the internet for some aspect of their business. Commerce, transportation, financial institutions, military, as well as industrial control systems are all interconnected. This interconnectedness has created vulnerabilities within their infrastructure that have increasingly become targets of terrorists, script kiddies, foreign governments and hackers of all types.

Cyber-security demands are ever increasing in the field of Information Technology with the globalization of the internet. Disruptions due to cyber-attacks are affecting the economy, costing companies billions of dollars each year in lost revenue. To counter this problem

At this stage in evolution, society cannot escape its dependence on information technology. The need to protect sensitive data will continue as long as this persists. Amazingly, a recent poll of 4,100 enterprises revealed that 70-percent didn’t have a contingency plan for cyberattacks. The firms reported that they had the resources to purchase what was needed to secure their networks, but couldn’t find trained specialists to deploy the

During the course of the investment time, I’m not only a trader but also an investor. At the beginning of the game, I really did a lot of works for preparation. First step of my preparation is read the textbook carefully and tried to fully understand it. At the same time, I asked help from my classes and friends who are skillful at stock market. When I turn to the game, first of all, I made trades quite frequently and was constantly checking stock prices to see how they were fluctuating over the course of a single day. During this time I would consider myself as a trader because I traded on almost a daily basis and was constantly looking at possible new trades. But when the game progressed a series of trades that I was suffered plenty of losses. That is because my growing understanding of certain stocks. During the game I was looking to hit the highs and get out before the lows came. Almost no the halfway of the semester I have to switch to the investing strategies. In view of that, I no longer pay attention to the short term gain, I prefer to follow the trading rules.

Cybersecurity is one of the most important topics in business today; It is something that must be accounted for by all businesses, large or small, due to its ability to disrupt or even paralyze all business functions. What vulnerability and threats are drawing the most attention today? Why? What changes have occurred in Cybersecurity during the past decade or so? What protective and preventative measures are available today? How well do they work? What are their limitations? Who are the hostile “bad actors” today? Does this represent a change? What are potential motivations of the “bad actors”? What advice would you give businesses regarding these threats and protecting against them? What advice would you give individuals regarding these threats

In 1817, the NYSE opened, making itself a huge part in the US economic system. Going into this game I was a bit nervous because I never had any prior knowledge of stocks, but throughout the game I started to understand this risky business. My philosophy at the beginning of the game was to play it safe, and invest in some commonly known blue chip stocks, such as Google and Disney. As the game progressed, I realized that trading stocks is a tricky thing to do. Since we learned about stocks in class, I had a better understanding of how to approach the game. I realized that there is no way to play it safe, so I started to take more risks and it was paying off. I started to invest in a wide variety of stocks such as Gilead Sciences Inc. and

After analyzing the financial statements of the four different companies, I have decided to invest my funds in Southwest Airlines Co. (NYSE:LUV). The decision to invest this $10,000 in Southwest Airlines was based on the conclusion that it is a reliable, fast growing company that unlike most airline companies sees a return on your investment. When deciding whether or not to invest in this company each ratio category was taken into account, by comparing & analyzing the 2013 and 2014 fiscal years. The ratios given the most attention include the Total Assets Turnover Ratio, Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio, Net Profit Margin, Operating Profit Margin, Current Ratio, Quality of Income Ratio, Cash Flow to Capital Expenditures Ratio, and the PE Ratio.

Computer and cybersecurity go hand in hand in today’s evolving business world; if neither of these things are done well, a business has the potential of

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).

My initial stock picks consisted of four purchases. I purchased stocks in Wal-Mart, Nike, Microsoft, and Apple. I chose Wal-Mart because it is one of the most well-known corporations to me. I initially purchased 500 shares of Wal-Mart. I preceded to buy 200 shares of Apple. I chose Apple because the price was rising at the time, and I saw an opportunity to gain money. I spent the remaining amount of my money on 400 shares of Nike and 375 shares of Microsoft. I purchased Nike because it is a corporation I am interested in. When I bought Microsoft it was in the negatives, but I thought it would make a come back. This was a risky decision, as is every decision in the stock market.

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.

Imagine having 1 million dollars given to you; this is the life of a stockbroker, but the only thing is that they have to invest into what they believe will make their clients more money. It sounds like the dream job, but on the contrary it is actually super stressful. My experience with using market watch was definitely interesting, because of the ability of being able to invest in what ever you wanted. This was an informative and productive way of learning how to manage my portfolio around the stock market world.

Cybercrime has become a fast growing concern for the 21st century as businesses, institutions and individuals grow into an interconnected web of computer networks. Online business transactions, along with the sharing of personal information, are vulnerable to a host of disasters that can reap economic and social havoc. Some sources say that today, cybercrime costs more than $1.0 trillion to society--Global Industry Analysts, Inc. forecasted the world cyber security market to reach $80 billion by 2017 (Gale, 2011).

As global security continues to grow exponentially in response to threats of cyber terrorism, the field of computer security continues to proliferate into many adjacent socioeconomic and technologically-based areas of society. Gartner Group, a leading market research in the enterprise IT industry, has stated that the worldwide market for security software will reach $21B in 2011, rising to $15.8B in 2015 (Karjalainen, Siponen, 2011). This rapid growth of computer security is also driving the development of entirely new patents in the areas of cryptography, enterprise security management strategies, and extensive support for more advanced programming features for securing enterprise networks (Albrechtsen, 2007). The pace of development in this market is accelerating as the sophistication and variety of threats continues to also exponentially escalate (Liang, Xue, 2010).
