Name Instructor Course 13th October 2020 Protecting a Company from Ransomware Attacks As a technology student and an aspiring cybersecurity specialist, I believe that any article concerned with data security is of utmost interest. I find eWeek Editors’ article “How to protect your company from ransomware attacks” the most interesting and ideal for my career and education. This article, which can be retrieved from https://www.eweek.com/storage/how-to-protect-your-company-from-ransomware-attacks, presents five strategies to protect a company from ransomware attacks. These strategies include deploying a real-time malware detector, deploying a backup solution that supports comprehensive data analysis, conducting forensic analysis including machine learning, not paying a ransom, and implementing ideal cyber-recovery practices. Reading the respective feed allowed me to appreciate that malware attacks are among the most difficult cybersecurity issues the technology industry is currently facing. Even though numerous of these attacks exist, the editors chose to base their analysis on ransomware, in which an attacker denies users access to certain computer resources until they pay some amount of money known as a ransom. The article’s most critical parts are the five strategies that the…

Ethereum After bitcoin, Ethereum is the second-largest cryptocurrency. It was created out of Bitcoin since the ethereum founder felt that Bitcoin hadn’t reached its decentralized capacity. Ethereum is a digital currency that works both as a currency and as a platform. Hence making the coin unique from other coins. This virtual coin likely to be staying with us for a long period. What makes Ethereum different is that it works as a platform on a smart contract, for example, forage and lion share. ethereum, like Bitcoins, also uses blockchain technology, whereby all transactions are stored under a public ledger.

forensic investigators When conducting an investigation, the crime scene should be used preserved. Nobody without relevant authority should be allowed to enter or exit free from a crime scene. A forensic crime investigator may be able to get much substantial evidence from a crime scene. According to Dr. Edward Locard’s exchange principle, it states that whenever a perpetrator enters or leaves a crime scene, they exchange material. A perpetrator will leave something behind and take something with them. A suspect may leave tracing evidence, such as hair, fibers, latent prints, or semen deposits. Such trace evidence is crucial as it can be used to be linked to a suspect. For forensic investigators, it is advisable to be the first at the crime scene. The first move should seal off the crime scene completely. It would be best if you also documented the time of arrival of any other officer present at the crime scene. In case of emergency, evacuate any possibly injured person. Again, in case of a possible bomb threat or fire, try to keep a safe distance to…

Nike Strategy Analysis SWOT Analysis A SWOT analysis can be used to carry out a detailed analysis of the internal and external environment of the company, which can provide management with useful information for decision making. The analysis of the strengths of the organization can enable the organization to know how it creates value and where it excels in different areas of its operations. Key strengths of the organization include the strong brand value of the organization, a loyal customer base, a diverse range of products, and financial stability that can be used by the company for growth. The strengths of the company act as the basis for the strategy selected by the company, as growth can only be attained by leveraging on the company’s strengths (Reading, 2019).

Key weaknesses identified by the company include a reputation for unfair labor practices, overreliance on one market, and high long-term debts. These weaknesses can be taken into consideration…

What Is a Static Code Analysis Tool? Without automation, it would take a long time to read, understand, and debug codes. With various static code analysis tools that you can use, we introduce you to static code analysis and identify the types of analysis tools used in the process. So, what is a static code analysis tool? A static code analyzer is an automated software system used by software engineers to check for any codes‘ flaws. Using specific tools for analysis, an organization can detect defects in codes and debug them early, which saves them the cost of fixing it later. These tools are useful in reviewing codes before the program can be implemented. There are various static code analysis tools available, and each is unique in structure and functionality. It may be a challenge to choose the one that works best for you. Let us go into the details of static code analysis tools and find some of the most effective ones you can deploy.  What Is Static Code Analysis Static analysis is the use of computer software to…

The roles of the private sector in policy formulation and implementation The devolution revolution in the united states sought to give each state in the country some autonomy to make policies that affected them. The federalism tradition means that the states are in a position to make policies that are unique to their population and can answer to specific demands for the region. For example, some policies are only unique to Texas, such as those put in place to curb illegal border crossing from Mexico and other Latin countries. Contrastingly, states such as Pennsylvania do not deal with illegal border crossing but with other issues such as traffic jams, which require local attention. In this regard, there is a need to give the states autonomy to implement their own policies to deal with the locals’ issues. Granting state governments the role of policy-making does not mean that the national government is robbed of their role (Francis and Francis 82). There are other crucial policies that can only be made by the national government so that they are uniform for the…
