Managing organizational risk : Describe the objectives and main elements of a CIRT plan.

No longer than a decade ago, IT security professionals had to work hard to persuade organizational leaders about the importance of developing effective risk management plans. Nowadays, due to the plethora of cautionary tales that organizations history provide, business leaders are informed on the need to manage risk and understand the crucial role of an organization’s IT infrastructure on its ability to perform business.
A computer incident response team (CIRT) plan can help prepare organizations for incidents that might occur.

Write an eight to ten (8-10) page paper in which you:

1. Describe the objectives and main elements of a CIRT plan.
2. Analyze the manner in which a CIRT plan fits into the overall risk management approach of an organization and how it supports other risk management plans.
3. Provide at least two (2) examples of how CIRT plans define the who, what, when, where, and why of the response effort.
4. Analyze the manner in which the development of a CIRT plan enables management to adopt a more proactive approach to risk management. Include recommendations for remaining proactive in the continual improvement and update of CIRT plans.
5. Infer on the evolution of threats over the last decade that organizations must now consider.
6. Predict the evolution of regulatory requirements mandating risk management processes and plans.
7. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

• Create a Computer Incident Response Team (CIRT) plan for an organization in a given scenario.
• Use technology and information resources to research issues in IT risk management.
• Write clearly and concisely about topics related to IT risk management using proper writing mechanics and technical style conventions

Discuss factors that are considered when termination of parole is determined

Many factors are considered when termination of parole is determined. When an offender is discharged from prison and reenters the community, he or she remains on federal parole for a specified period of time. During the reentry process, many types of supports are incorporated into the reentry plan along with risk assessments, to measure the level and predictors of the offender reoffending again. The most important step after reentry occurs is determining an appropriate time to release the offender completely from judicial supervision.

Review the policy regarding the termination of federal parole by the U.S. Department of Justice.

Create a 5-slide presentation that responds to the following:

• Provide an introduction to the issue, including an explanation of the role of mentorship (1 slide)
• What are some examples of circumstances where a probation officer might decide to approve a parolee for early release from his or her parole period? (1 slide)
• Do you feel a maximum timeframe of 5-years is sufficient for termination of federal parole services? Explain. (1 slide)
• Is it fair to require a parole to enter a halfway house upon reentering society? Provide insights into your response. (1 slide)
• Is it fair to not allow most people who commit felonies to carry firearms? Why or why not? (1 slide)

Format any citations in your presentation according to APA guidelines.

Add speaker notes that are differennt from the slide. Citations added to speaker notes as well. At least 3 references are required.

How can products produced by high-wage workers in the U.S. compete with products manufactured by African workers who earn much lower wages?

Workers in the U.S. earn much higher wages than those in Africa. How can products produced by high-wage workers in the U.S. compete with products manufactured by African workers who earn much lower wages? Apply the Ricardian Model to answer this question.

Hint: Is it possible for the U.S. to both have higher wages and a comparative advantage in a good? You may want to a numerical example to illustrate your point.

1. In the last several decades, increased participation in international trade by the U.S. has been accompanied by increased income/wage inequality. First, use the Heckscher-Ohlin Model to explain the association between increased trade and increased income/wage inequality (hint: think about two factors of production, skilled labor and unskilled labor). Second, some economists doubt that increased trade has led to increased inequality. Do some research and summarize their ideas (please cite your sources). Third, based on your research, present your own view of whether trade has contributed to increased inequality in the U.S., and defend your view.
3. When increasing returns to scale is introduced to trade theory, we find many results that are distinct from those in traditional trade theory (such as the Ricardian Model and the Heckscher-Ohlin Model). Please list two new results that arise from trade theory based on economies of scale.
