Threats & motives:
Some common threats that humans contribute to consist of hacking, phishing, malicious
software, etc. Those who engage in these threats either have the motive of defacement where
it is politically motivated, or Denial of Service where it could be either political or economic.
Most who commit these threats sometimes have little to no knowledge & technical skills, and
those who do tend to form networks with one another.
Training:
A Chief Information officer challenges executive leadership to think strategically about
digital disruptions that are forcing business models to change and technology’s role in mission
delivery. They drive for transformation, manage innovation, develop talent, enable the use of
data, and take advantage of evolving technologies. I would need electricity and wi-fi so that
would be one deduction in funds. Then I would train the employees in a course in how to
identify cyber threats. In order to know when there’s a threat, they have to be able to
understand vulnerabilities and threats. They would also need to be trained to be able to
identify those threats before it progresses. Make sure they are trained to not respond to emails
they do not recognize. Invest in a great software system and monitors and what else is ever
needed. I would train them in a course that would last for 6 weeks to make sure they have
everything.
