I’m studying and need help with a Computer Science question to help me learn.

Industry experts believe blockchain is a technology that has the potential to affect the business of most IT professionals in the next five years. Pick an industry you feel will be most affected by blockchain and how blockchain may be used in that industry. As an IT manager, how would you embrace blockchain? For instance, how would training occur for your team, what strategies might you use, what security methods may you recommend be used?

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

• Be approximately four to six pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.

• Follow APA6 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.

• Support your answers with the readings from the course and at least two scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations

• Be clearly and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing.

I need an explanation for this Psychology question to help me study.

Part 1

Hofstede’s cultural dimensions are used to characterize the differences between cultures. Hofstede’s (1980) study explored work-related values. He collected data from business employees in numerous countries and used factor analysis to see the outstanding variables that emerged. He originally identified four dimensions, one of which was power distance. This concept has been applied for practical purposes. For example, Malcom Gladwell’s Outliers: The Story of Success discusses how the power distance index relates to safety in the airline business.

In your response, address the following:

• Using the South University Online Library and the Internet, research the term “power distance.” Research power distance in different cultures. Are there any surprising results? Compare countries that are often lumped together under one title. For example, people from Japan, China, and India are all called Asian. When such countries are compared, what differences emerge?

• Given that Hofstede’s cultural dimensions inventory was designed for a work environment and that the data were collected from the employees who fall into specific demographic categories, can the findings be generalized to other settings? What about generalizing the findings for the groups that were not in the study? Do you think that it is appropriate to apply the data to the airline business?

• Do you think that the study is valid for all countries? When was the study initially conducted? Do you think that the findings would be the same if the people in the countries were assessed again?

Part 2

Large cultural groups within a geographic region often share similar subjective cultural elements. However, these groups are rarely homogenous and can be divided into distinct subgroups. For example, Africa is made up of different countries, and within those countries, there are numerous distinct cultural groups. Although many of these subcultural groups are dissimilar with regard to particular beliefs and practices, there are times when an overriding issue makes another common group identification more salient and important. For example, in 2003, Christian and Muslim women from different subcultures in Liberia banded together to fight back against oppression and stop the civil war. There were widespread killings; the survivors were deeply traumatized and abused; the children were robbed of their childhood, with many being recruited to fight; and women had been dominated and raped. The women’s movement was featured in the Documentary Pray the Devil Back to Hell. This discussion question focuses on the cultural subgroups that often supersede the familial cultural groups.

In your response, address the following:

• Do you think that clusters characterized by gender are valid subcultures? Do you self-identify with gender before your ethnic group? If you could design a study to investigate an issue related to women and culture, what would you study and why?

• What caused the women of Liberia to ignore their familial cultural inheritance and band together? Do you think that biology and environment interact to create a women’s subculture? What did the women do to force the men to change in Liberia? Explain your answers.

exercise problem:

A disgruntled former hospital employee with exceptional computer skills hacks into the hospital network from their home computer and plants a very aggressive computer virus into a Computer-Aided Facility

Management (CAFM) system. The computer virus activates at 1:00 a.m., shutting down the Hospital

Ventilation Air Conditioning (HVAC) system, security system, building automation, and patient medical

monitoring system. Please explain how the hospital’s cyber security team (CST) went about resolving the

problem.

case projects problem:

Let’s look at a real-world scenario and how the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) plays into it. In the scenario, the United States will be hit by a large-scale, coordinated cyber attack organized by China. These

attacks debilitate the functioning of government agencies, parts of the critical infrastructure, and commercial

ventures. The IT infrastructure of several agencies are paralyzed, the electric grid in most of the country is

shut down, telephone traffic is seriously limited and satellite communications are down (limiting the

Department of Defense’s [DOD’s] ability to communicate with commands overseas). International commerce

and financial institutions are also severely hit. Please explain how DHS should handle this situation.

Exercise Problem:

A diversified Fortune 500 corporation that provides products and services to domestic and foreign

governments and commercial customers suspected that a deceptive intruder was in their network; however,

they knew neither the extent of the compromise, nor what (if any) data had been breached. The persistent

deceptive intruders used tools and techniques that left trace evidence on each computer system they

compromised. These host-based indicators of compromise are present every time the intruders attack a

network. The corporation (client) called a team of advanced persistent threat (APT) experts to validate their

concerns, scope the intrusion, and provide a remediation strategy. APTs are used to identify, scope, and

remediate the APT in the government and defense industrial base. The APT consists of skilled and

sophisticated deceptive hackers who deploy a complex arsenal of deception malware against specific targets in

the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), financial, manufacturing, and research industries. Please explain how the

APT went about resolving the problem.

Case Project Problem:

Yahoo! is focused on delivering fast and reliable commerce, communications, and social networking services to

millions of users around the world. With one of the world’s largest network and cloud infrastructures, Yahoo!

faces unique challenges as it fulfills its vision to be the center of people’s online lives by delivering personally

relevant, meaningful Internet experiences. Yahoo!’s traffic volume and application complexity has grown

rapidly over the past decade, driving the company to build out a massive network and application

infrastructure to support more and more load. The company continues to invest in high-capacity servers, load

balancers, routers, and switches, plus massive firewalls. Previously, however, Yahoo!’s security team had no

way to stress this enormous critical infrastructure and measure its resiliency to ensure performance, stability,

and cyber security. Yahoo! needed a solution to validate the performance, functionality, and capacity of its

systems under a wide mix of real-world traffic, including video, instant messaging, and web applications, as

well as live cyber security attacks and load from millions of users. Please identify how Yahoo!’s security team

stressed their enormous critical infrastructure and measured its resiliency to ensure performance, stability, and

cyber security.

Please provide 250 words for each question and references.
