The NIST Cybersecurity Framework provides businesses with a structured approach to managing and reducing cybersecurity risks through its five primary functions: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. It encourages the growth of a strong cybersecurity culture, improved risk control, and clearly stated security objectives.I would utilize it in my future role to find security flaws, enhance encryption, access controls, and monitoring systems, and make sure staff members receive security best practices training. In addition, I would develop a thorough incident response strategy to lessen the damage and disturbance brought on by hackers. This strategy would improve the organization’s capacity to stop and recover from cyberattacks.

In order to preserve seamless business operations, safeguard our firm’s brand, and adhere to legal requirements, it is imperative that we, as the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) of a publicly traded company, make sure that our systems are operational. A strong, multi-layered strategy is what I would use to ensure system availability.In the event of a system failure or disaster, I would first create and regularly test business continuity (BCP) and disaster recovery (DR) plans to make sure that critical operations could be quickly and minimally disruptively restored. In addition, I would implement cloud services, redundancy, and failover to prevent any single point of failure from disrupting corporate operations. Keeping our systems updated and ensuring that patches and updates are applied would be another essential objective.

CRISPR gene editing has a lot of potential to improve both agriculture and health, despite the fact that it poses many ethical issues, especially in the area of biosecurity. As stated in the article “Malicious Code Written into DNA,” there is a significant chance that malevolent actors will change DNA in order to do damage.Unexpected repercussions could affect ecosystems, human health, and bioweapons. According to “Hacking Humans: Protecting Our DNA from Cybercriminals,” because DNA has been digitized, it is vulnerable to cyberattacks. This information could be used by hackers to alter DNA or steal identities.CRISPR presents ethical issues of authorization and equity since gene editing may affect future generations, and not everyone may have access to these drugs. Notwithstanding the technology’s enormous potential, rigorous laws must be followed when using it.
