I’m trying to learn for my Science class and I’m stuck. Can you help?

The future is a bright one for smart devices like voice activated smart home controllers and smart thermostats. Including smart devices in our renovations keep us on the cutting edge and competitive with our competition. These devices enhance our customers lives by automating tasks and allowing them more free time to enjoy the things they would rather be doing. Unfortunately, our company may be liable for damages if our customers lose privacy due to the insecurity of these devices.

A simple hack could expose our customers’ data if the manufacturers do not build them with security in mind and continue to provide security updates throughout the life of the product. Concerning mobile health smart devices that transmit client health data to doctors, Arabo says that the manufacturers are not concerned with security and do not put effort into making them secure (Ararbo, Brown, & El-Moussa, 2012). Even when care is taken by the company providing the smart device to include better security features, it is still up to the consumer to activate or use them. Security features such as Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) which, besides a password, requires another medium such as a phone registered to the account in order to authenticate can help protect devices from being hacked. But, these require the consumers to set up or elect to opt in to that feature in the first place.

Due to the nature of most smart devices requiring access to and from the internet, they pose a risk that those devices will be accessed by someone other than the intended party. In a recent study of 34,686 “controlled experiments”, 72/81 smart devices were monitored “talking” to a destination that was not the manufacturer. This study also revealed that all of the devices that were tested exposed at least some information in plain text, allowing anyone listening to easily read the data. Information Exposure From Consumer IoT Devices:

There are many recent cases of consumers suing companies for negligence when installing smart devices that are not well protected or easily hacked to leak personal data. Toyota and Chrysler installed devices were claimed to be controlled remotely and “exceedingly hackable” by the plaintiffs. Even the home security company ADT has been taken to court with the plaintiff claiming that ADT’s wireless security systems can be remotely turned off or used to spy on the owners (Gorman, n.d.). Baby monitors are even a target now too. Many wifi connected baby monitors are cloud enabled so that the parents can view their children from anywhere. This internet connectivity creates risk and several camera models have been hacked over the internet allowing the hacker to view, listen, and talk through the camera (Vaas, 2019). Beyond the financial impact associated with lawsuits, we risk our reputation and client trust if we knowingly install insecure equipment and we don’t take the time to ensure our customers know how to effectively secure them. A smart thermostat may record daily activities in order to save the owner money on energy costs. But if the device has not been updated from the default password the owner risks losing that data to a hacker using a simple password guess. The question then is who is liable for the damages?

If we decide to install a smart fridge that can order groceries when the customer is running low on milk, we need to inform the customer of the risk associated with their data and provide security measures the customer can take to protect their data. We should have a team or task force designated to research the security of the smart device products we install to make sure we provide our customers low risk options.

Need help with my Writing question – I’m studying for my class.

All submissions are to be submitted through turn-it-in. Drop-boxes linked to turn-it-in will be set up in the Unit of Study Moodle account. Assignments not submitted through these dropboxes will not be considered. Submissions must be made by the due date and time. The turn-it-in similarity score will be used in determining the level if any of plagiarism. Turnit-in will check conference web-sites, Journal articles, the Web and your own class member submissions for plagiarism. You can see your turn-it-in similarity score when you submit your assignment to the appropriate drop-box. If this is a concern you will have a chance to change your assignment and re-submit. However, re-submission is only allowed prior to the submission due date and time. After the due date and time have elapsed you cannot make re-submissions and you will have to live with the similarity score as there will be no chance for changing. Thus, plan early and submit early to take advantage of this feature. You can make multiple submissions, but please remember we only see the last submission, and the date and time you submitted will be taken from that submission. Your document should be a single word or pdf document containing your report. This research study requires in-depth reading and analysis of a single specific topic. This one topic can be of your choice, but the topic must have been covered in this course. You require to take one research paper of that topic and make a small report on that research paper which should contain the following: • Introduction to the topic • Introduction to that paper, their main work. • Detail description of the methodologies employed in that paper. • Comparison of the results reported in that paper with others. • Your comments on the advantages/disadvantages/superiority of that paper’s methodology. • Suggest your changes/future-directions for that paper to improve it (if any). • Conclusion. • References. The research paper you need to choose should be published work in well-reputed Journ

I’m working on a English exercise and need support.

Blake Glover’s recent job performance needs to be addressed. You hired Blake over a year ago because he was highly qualified for the job, and in his first year, you and other managers were impressed by his excellent work and potential for leadership in the company. However, over the last three months, Blake has been regularly late to work, has called-in sick more than five times, and when he is at work, he has spent most of his time away from his desk, chatting with other employees and otherwise off-task. Upper management agrees that his personality fits well in the company, and you want to keep him; however, his recent behavior cannot be ignored.

As the manager of Blake’s department, you have the task of disciplining him with a formal, written warning, which must include an assessment of Blake’s performance to date and a specific improvement plan. Your plan should include measurable goals for Blake that will allow both Blake and the company to track his improvement within the timeframe you see fit. The warning should also articulate the consequences for Blake if he does not meet these goals.

I don’t know how to handle this Law question and need guidance.

You need submit a 150-200-word summary [not a copy] of a news story from any reputable state or national news source in print, on radio, on TV, or online. Use Times New Roman, 12-pt. type, double-spaced. The story will be about the intersection of media and the First Amendment in the United States—no stories from foreign countries. Not part of the 150-200 words will be a description of where you found this news item (N.Y. Times, CNN on TV, etc.), the title of the story, the date, and URL, if applicable, although I need to have this info. Just don’t count these words toward you 150-200 range. The story must appear in the news media during the week you will be submitting it. In addition to the summary of the story, I’m looking for any insights you might have on why this is an important case or issue and any implications for journalists, organizations, the media in general, corporations, etc. Be sure to include your contact info at upper left: name, date, which week’s summary, email address. Remember: If your story has nothing to do with the First Amendment or nothing to do with the media, it will count as a zero. The story must include BOTH.

The following documents are bad examples, so don’t make similar mistakes when you’re writing.

I need help with a Economics question. All explanations and answers will be used to help me learn.

Question:

T or F why

1- Assume that when $80,000 cash enter the banking system, the money supply ultimately increases by $320,000. Assume also that all banks do not hold excess reserves and that the entire money supply consists of demand deposits. Then the total legal reserves for all banks will amount to $40,000, and total loans and investments for all banks will be equal to $ 280,000.

2- Banks cannot affect or contribute to changes in the money supply if they were required to hold all deposits in reserve.

3-Nowadays, a credit card is similar to a check, in money definition, according to macroeconomics.

I’m studying for my Science class and need an explanation.

Homeland security is a generic term which is used to describe a unified, organized and concerted approach to protecting our nation from terrorist attack. That means that America’s vulnerability to terrorism will be reduces and in the event of such an attack, it would cause minimized damage. The homeland security office was created in October 8, 2001 by the Bush administration, as a result of the horrible events of 9/11. (What is Homeland Security, n.d.)

National security is a term that covers both national defense and foreign relations of the U.S. National security refers to the protection of a nation from attack or other danger by holding adequate armed forces and guarding state secrets. (US Legal, n.d.)

The difference between the national security and homeland security. After looking at the information about national security it covers national defense and foreign relations. Homeland security is generally associated with preparing and protecting the nation against terrorism and other hazards like natural disasters and public health emergencies.

The distinctions serve the interests of the citizens and institutions is a more focused manner. The security of the entities by government has to be an all-round one, rather holistic. This prerequisite is better fulfilled due to the above.

Help me study for my Business class. I’m stuck and don’t understand.

Create your own example for a project. Follow the instructions, and submit a no less than four-page Word document answering the questions for the project.

Create a risk register for your example project. Categorize each risk, list potential causes, and list potential responses for each cause, as shown in Exhibit 10.9

Describe what each project success measure (from Exhibit 10.1) looks like on your example project. Identify at least three risks to each success measure, determine which are major risks, and for each major risk develop one or more contingency plans. Identify whether the contingency plan is an avoidance plan (reducing the probability of the risk), a mitigation plan (reducing the impact of the event), or both.

Facilitate a discussion with the sponsor and other key stakeholders of your project. Have them determine the relative importance of their priorities and document them, as shown in Exhibit 10.2.

Perform a risk review for your example project. Use at least three (3) types of review, as shown in Exhibit 10.8. Which of these types gave you the most useful information? Why?

Be sure to use APA format and cite your work. When you get to the facilitating a discussion with the sponsor, use your imagination to create a discussion with a fictitious sponsor.
