  To discuss your communication plan, you want to hold the most productive meeting possible. You know that, in general, women look for equality among other team members when speaking. Men tend to interrupt and speak more frequently during meetings, taking up more time and space. There are many communication differences between men and women. Because your staff includes 6 men and 6 women, gender communication differences are important. With your colleagues, discuss ways to ensure that everyone at the meeting has the opportunity to fully communicate their ideas. Discuss the following: 1 nonverbal difference between males and females 1 verbal difference between males and females.

How would it benefit you, the success of those health care teams—and, most importantly, patient care—to have clarity on the foundational beliefs that guide your practice, and that of others

Part 1: Research Remote Access Policies (0/1 completed)
Note: In this part of the lab, you will review internet resources on remote access policies in order to form a basis for their purpose and usage. Understanding the reason behind a remote access policy is key to understanding the component policies and procedures. Please take the time to review the research thoroughly and think through the concepts of the policy itself.
1. In your browser, navigate to and read the ?Remote Access Policy? template at https://www.sans.org/information-security-policy/.
2. Using your favorite search engine, locate a remote access policy for a higher education institution.
3. Using your favorite search engine, locate a remote access policy for a healthcare provider.
4. Write a brief summary of the information during your research. In your summary, focus on the key elements of the remote access policy. You should also identify any unique elements of remote access policies for higher education and healthcare institutions. Be sure to provide links to the remote access policies you identified in steps 2 and 3.
 
Part 2: Create a Remote Access Policy (0/7 completed)Note: As you found in your research, different industries have similar but different policies. When using a policy template, it is important to ensure that the template matches the needs of your specific industry and business.
Review the following risks and threats found in the Remote Access Domain:

The organization is a local credit union that has several branches and locations throughout the region.

Online banking and use of the internet are the bank?s strengths, given its limited human resources.

The customer service department is the organization?s most critical business function.

The organization wants to be in compliance with the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) and IT security best practices regarding its employees.

The organization wants to monitor and control use of the internet by implementing content filtering.

The organization wants to eliminate personal use of organization-owned IT assets and systems.

The organization wants to monitor and control use of the e-mail system by implementing e-mail security controls.

The organization wants to implement security awareness training policy mandates for all new hires and existing employees. Policy definitions are to include GLBA and customer privacy data requirements, in addition to a mandate for annual security awareness training for all employees.

1. Identify a security control or countermeasure to mitigate each risk and threat identified in the Remote Access Domain. These security controls or countermeasures will become the basis of the scope of the Remote Access Domain policy definition to help mitigate the risks and threats commonly found within the Remote Access Domain.
2. Review the following characteristics of the fictional Healthwise Health Care Provider:

Healthwise has several remote health care branches and locations throughout the region.

Online access to patients? medical records through the public Internet is required for remote nurses and hospices providing in-home medical services.

Online access to patients? medical records from remote clinics is facilitated through a virtual private network (VPN) and a secure web application front-end over the public Internet.

The organization wants to be in compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and IT security best practices regarding remote access through the public internet.

The organization wants to monitor and control the use of remote access by implementing system logging.

The organization wants to implement a security awareness training policy mandating that all new hires and existing employees obtain remote access security training. Policy definition is to include HIPAA and electronic protected health information (ePHI) security requirements and a mandate for annual security awareness training for all remote or mobile employees.

1. Create an organization-wide remote access policy for Healthwise Health Care:

Healthwise Health Care
Remote Access Policy for Remote Workers and Medical Clinics
Policy StatementDefine your policy verbiage.
Purpose/ObjectivesDefine the policy?s purpose as well as its objectives and policy definitions
ScopeDefine whom this policy covers and its scope. What elements, IT assets, or organization-owned assets are within this policy?s scope?
StandardsDoes the policy statement point to any hardware, software, or configuration standards? If so, list them here and explain the relationship of this policy to these standards. In this case, Remote Access Domain standards should be referenced, such as encryption standards and VPN standards; make any necessary assumptions.
ProceduresExplain how you intend to implement this policy for the entire organization.
GuidelinesExplain any roadblocks or implementation issues that you must overcome in this section and how you will surmount them per defined guidelines. Any disputes or gaps in the definition and separation of duties responsibility may need to be addressed in this section.
 
Challenge Exercise Note: The following challenge exercise is provided to allow independent, unguided work – similar to what you will encounter in a real situation.
For this portion of the lab, you will create training documentation for remote employees of Healthwise Health Care. This training will provide remote employees with methods they can use to secure their home network before connecting a company computer, as well as guidance on how to access the corporate network while traveling.
Use the internet to find information about remote access policies and home network protection, and then use this information to create a training document for remote employees.

Identify the target market and your secondary market for your company. Note: Be as specific as possible (e.g., women 30-45, with a high school education and some college; people working full time and living in the Midwest, etc.). 2.Describe your unique selling proposition (USP). Explain the key factors that make your company different than competitors within your industry. Describe the primary way in which the USP for your company targets the two (2) markets you identified in Question 1.

Journal 2: Marketing Plan Part C:Unique Selling Proposition
 
Due Week 6 and worth 100 points
You will now complete your secondary market research and consider what distinguishes your company from your competitors, their products, and / or the price of their products and services.
The key word in Unique Selling Proposition (USP) is “unique.” There are very few products or services that are truly one of a kind. In order to target the demographic for your company, you need to pinpoint what makes your business standout among the competitors (e.g., Charles Revson, founder of Revlon, always used to say he sold hope, not makeup. Neiman Marcus sells luxury and customer service. Wal-Mart sells bargains. Amazon is earth’s biggest bookstore.)
Use the Internet to research two (2) of your favorite companies and two (2) companies that are similar to your company. Identify the USPs of these companies, and consider what the USPs mean to you. Next, prepare to create a USP for your company.
 
Tips on creating a USP for your company:
•   Put yourself in your customers’ shoes. Consider what your customers really want. Consider what could make them your repeat customers and instead of your competition‘s.
•   Research what motivates your customers’ behaviors and buying decisions. You need to know what drives and motivates customers.
•   Uncover the real reasons why customers buy your product instead of a competitor’s. As owner of a start up, ask people why they buy your future competitors’ product. This will help you uncover why they might buy yours. Ask yourself the following questions:
•                   What does our product or service do better than anyone else?
•                   How is our business model different from that of our competition? How could our product or service be different?
•                   What market category or niche is not being served by our industry?
 
Write a four to six (4-6) paragraph journal entry in which you:
1.Identify the target market and your secondary market for your company. Note: Be as specific as possible (e.g., women 30-45, with a high school education and some college; people working full time and living in the Midwest, etc.).
2.Describe your unique selling proposition (USP). Explain the key factors that make your company different than competitors within your industry. Describe the primary way in which the USP for your company targets the two (2) markets you identified in Question 1.
Example of a USP:
 
•   My product is t-shirts and coffee mugs with fun and empowering logos for women.
•   My target market is women ages 35-55, college educated, working full time. My secondary market trends a little younger at 25-35, women passionate about their professional life and their personal pursuits.
•   My USP is “Be Authentic, no Apologies.”
•   My reasoning is I want women to buy my sassy slogans, because they want to show their authentic voice on a shirt or mug.
Note: Insert the information from the completed Journal 3 entry into “Section 3: Unique Selling Proposition” in the provided Marketing Plan Template (located in Week 4).

Suppose Alice, Bob, and Carol want to use secret key technology to authenticate each other. If they all used the same secret key, K, then Bob could impersonate Carol to Alice (actually any of the three could impersonate the other to the third). Suppose instead that each had their own secret key; so Alice uses KA, Bob uses KB, and Carol uses KC. This means that each one, to prove his or her identity, responds to a challenge with a function of his or her secret key. Is this more secure than having them all use the same secret key? Hint: What does Alice need to know in order to verify Carol’s answer to Alice’s challenge?

Please review the below.  Your responses for each prompt must be submitted as two to three paragraphs and as a Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and at least three sources cited in APA format.

Assume a cryptographic algorithm in which the performance for the good guys (the ones that know the key) grows linearly with the length of the key and for which the only way to break it is a brute-force attack of trying all possible keys. Then, suppose the performance for the good guys is adequate (e.g., it can encrypt and decrypt as fast as the bits can be transmitted over the wire) at a certain size key. Finally, suppose advances in computer technology make computers twice as fast. Given that both parties— the good guys and the bad guys— get faster computers, does this advancement in computer speeds work to the advantage of the good guys? The bad guys? Or does it not make any difference?
