Financial abuse – Like emotional abuse, this may not leave physical signs of abuse caused by the abuser, but should the victim withhold money or property that the abuser may want, then there may be bruises or scratches from being hit or punched. The victim may turn to self-harm as a way of dealing with stress.

The Whole School Policy for Safeguarding Incorporating Child Protection (Updated April 2015) from the school where I work (adhere to child protection procedures agreed locally through the Norfolk Children’s Safeguarding Board), clarify roles, procedures for managing concerns, training given to adults working there, guidance for safer recruitment and assistance for a safer working practice. All these procedures ensure the protection of children and of the adults working with them, by guaranteeing good support and training and by ensuring that everyone working on the setting is really aiming to protect the children as best as they can.

medicines, leaving a burning stove unattended, poor hygiene, confusion, unexplained weight loss, and dehydration may all be

How information technology can be effectively integrated with company’s "production, marketing, human resource, research design and finance" to take the advantage of core competence, as well as leveraging the quality and speed to help company business continuity.

Today there is a huge demand for information technology in most types of business. With

One of the overall concerns regarding easily accessible technology is our dependency on it. When we take a closer look, we see an interesting dynamic: we feel a sense of isolation and danger if we are without our technology, so much so that we risk even further greater danger (literally and figuratively)

To begin with, I started with two courses in the EMSISS program - ISOL 633 - Legal Regulations, Compliance, and Investigation and ISOL 533- Information Security and Risk Management. I also got an internship opportunity of a part time CPT with Sapot Systems Inc as a Software Engineer. The knowledge and interest I had along with these courses, helped me to go that extra mile in my day to day job responsibility.

There are many complications caused by the recent advancement in technology. In recent years, the people of the world have experienced this technological advancement firsthand. Though, even with all the upgrading, we, as a worldwide community, aren’t using machinery to better the world. People have become too connected to technology, we need to get off it every once in awhile.

Traditionally, IT (Information Technology) security focused on securing the IT assets within the organization’s IT framework. However, with the advent of smart mobile devices, cloud computing, and remote connectivity, the IT landscape has changed dramatically in the last few decades. With these changes, the frequency of attacks by cyber criminals has increased as well. We constantly hear news reports of large-scale cyber attacks targeting financial, government and healthcare organizations. Moreover, the type of attacks has evolved to become more sophisticated and untraceable, making it difficult for security analysts to keep up with the every changing technological demands of creating and maintaining an effective security. This has now led many security experts to believe that having an effective defense mechanism in place is a much viable option than to be reactive to threats. This also makes sense from a business perspective. Companies want their IT investments to further their business goals and not to be constrained too much by focusing heavily on IT security, which could potentially lead to an increase in operational costs to tackle security issues.

Changing technology can be a threat for us… as it can end up in high investment from us..

Next, AAE will use the NIST SP 800-39: Managing Information Security Risk to generate a response for each risk.

As a growing majority of middle class families fall victim to the economic devastation of the Great Recession, suffering from prolonged unemployment, depleted job markets and a rising cost of living, the threat of potential terrorist attacks striking America and its interests seems to have faded into the proverbial background of our collective consciousness. With a transfer of power from the hawkish Bush Administration to President Obama and his more diplomatic approach, major media outlets in print, on television and in the blogosphere, which just a few years ago regaled with patriotic fervor while espousing the possible peril awaiting the nation, have all but abandoned their coverage of terrorist activity. This reversal in focus by both individuals and institutions may simply be a natural response to the reduced capabilities of al-Qaeda and other terrorist networks, as confirmed by the leading authority on terrorism and its effects, and national security analyst for the CNN network, Peter Bergen, who observed recently that "the Obama administration has played a large role in reducing terrorist threats by continuing and scaling up many of former President George W. Bush's counter-terrorist methods" (Bennetch 1).

Information technology efforts in these areas have improved the way businesses are run. The day to day operations of business disciplines have been improved by the efforts of IT personnel and the developments of information technology as a science. The

Exponential technologies can potentially pose great dangers to the human race. Although, not to the extent people believe. Simply put, “The wrong technology in the wrong hands leads nowhere good.” This brings us to topics such as bioterrorism, cyber attacks, and Robotics or artificial intelligence leading to potential unemployment for skilled workers.
