Abstract

With the increase in security problems on the Internet, people gradually realize the importance of cybersecurity (Ghorbani and Ahmadzadegan ,2017). The incident response is essential in cybersecurity strategy, efficient cyber response could reduce the loss and strengthen the business continuity (Snedaker, 2013). This paper is based on the case that happened at the University of Calgary on May 28, 2016, critically analyzing the incident response taken in terms of immediate response, communication, and business continuity. At the end of this paper, we provide an ideal solution to face ransomware attacks.

In discussion part, I will illustrate the definitions about outsourcing and inhouse production, and identify the outsourcing activities and inhouse production based on the given case. Then, I will use ECCO case as reference to compare outsourcing with inhouse production based on the key drivers of sourcing action (McFarlan & Nolan, 1995). Besides, the risks (Aron & Singh, 2005) acts in sourcing decisions and some extra factors should be considered as well.

At the same time, importance should be attached to the security and privacy problems of AI with the growth of basic data and AI using population. This essay points out the security and privacy problems in the process of programming in terms of input, training model, and output with some examples and analyses the feasible solution aiming to different threats. The result reveals that the AI should pay attention to the security and privacy issues by adding a self-testing procedure and introducing the standard of input and output data to avoid relevant security and privacy issues.
