The government’s quest to fight COVID-19 has led to the establishment of a PPE production factory in the Greater Accra region. The factory is classified as a high risk working environment and the workers are paid an hourly rate of GHs 30 for regular hours per week and any extra hours are paid one and one-half times that of the regular hours. From the worker’s gross pay, 6% is withheld for social security. 7% is withheld for tax and 3% is held for union dues. Each employee is supposed to work for 40 hours for normal time per week and a maximum of 20 extra hours per week. Write a JAVA program that will: a) request for the number of hours worked in a week. b) compute the weekly wage, social security, tax and dependents insurance (if any) c) display the results in “b” above.

Cyber Security
The National Security Agency (NSA) works to detect and prevent threats to National Security Systems, which includes systems that handle classified information or are otherwise critical to military or intelligence activities. The NSA plays a vital role in our national security by providing America's leaders with critical information they need to defend our country, save lives, and advance U.S. goals and alliances globally. Tailored Access Operations (TAO) is a group of super hackers within the NSA that collects intelligence about foreign targets by breaking into their computers, stealing data, and monitoring communications. TAO is also responsible for developing programs that could destroy or damage foreign computers and networks via cyberattacks if commanded to do so by the president. What sort of personal characteristics would be important in selecting a candidate for the NSA super-secret Tailored Access Operations organization? What would be some of the pros and cons of such a…
2. Assume an asset has a Single Loss Expectancy (SLE) due to the threat of power failures of S1000, and is estimated to occur once per week, prior to any controls being put in place. A particular battery backup system is estimated to reduce the power outages to once per month, with the same estimated cost per event. If the battery backup system costs $35,000, is the control worth adopting? Show your Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) calculation to support your answer. Remember from the notes that CBA = ALE (prior) - ALE (post) - ACS
While society expects businesses to be prepared for disasters and to recover using their own resources, it does not appear that individuals are equipped to endure a crisis. Should we expect the government, at any level, to be in charge of catastrophe recovery, whether at the personal or commercial level? If so, why or why not? What kind of concessions would a company have to make if the catastrophe recovery process was handed over to a government agency?
Nearly a decade has passed since the National Academy of Engineers declared Cyber Security a "grand challenge for the next century." Every day there is news on ways in which cyber security challenges and responses are complicating every aspect of our lives. Can the challenge be solved? As a first step to solving any problem, one must understand its nature. So, it is important for all cyber security analysts to keep on top of news stories in the field. In this discussion forum we will do just that with the hope that everyone will make it a daily habit throughout their career. Today, some cyber news has been flooded out of the headlines by Hurricane Harvey, but as noted in this article, cyber concerns are front and center as students return to school.
Accelerated digital transformation of businessesThe world is straining under the weight of the global Covid-19 pandemic. Covid-19 and the subsequent isolation have shaken the core of societies, the business world and the economy throughout the world. Unfortunately, South Africa is no exception. Although somewhat later than Europe the global catastrophe has also hit South Africa and the number of infections is still on the rise.Many businesses had to close down during the lockdown announced by government. Some businesses permanently closed their doors, and about 1.8 million people lost their work and income. Volatile industries such as the hospitality, travel and airline industries have experienced one of the most difficult times in history since World War II and were hard hit by the Coronavirus and government lockdown.But the old saying “every dark cloud has a silver lining” is also true of Covid-19. There is something positive that resulted from these very disturbing times. Suddenly…

The term "cybersecurity" refers to the practise of protecting computer systems, networks, and sensitive information from unauthorised access, theft, or damage. The implementation of cybersecurity measures is of utmost importance in today's digital age, as cyber threats have become increasingly sophisticated and prevalent. Cyber attacks can result in significant financial losses, reputational damage, and even compromise national security. Therefore, it is imperative that individuals, organisation
Charlie sat at his desk the morning after his nightmare. He had answered the most pressing e-mails in his inbox and had a piping hot cup of coffee at his elbow. He looked down at a blank legal pad, ready to make notes about what to do in case his nightmare became reality. What else should be on Charlie's list?
Q3 Three major concerns of computer system and network builders and users are dis- aster, security, and human error. Natural disaster, such as flood, may severely pose great threat to the infrastructure. Cyber security has never been so challenging, even now with most expensive protection programme, any reputable consultant won't guarantee it from any breach. The last but not least, human errors from the internal computer network users also may create major headaches for a chief information officer. (а) Propose ONE (1) course of action to at least mitigate each listed threat below from happening, towards more sustainable computer security and system operation; i) Sudden flooding ii) External hacking iii) Internal sabotage
Hacktivists often use DDoS attacks against organizations that they perceive as being opposed to them. This includes not only government but also journalists, publications, and human rights groups. Google's parent Alphabet has stepped up to help with thwarting DDoS against these groups. Since 2016 Project Shield has thwarted DDoS attacks against hundreds of websites in over 80 countries. These attacks were directed at websites in order to silence important information. Project Shield was offered for free to journalists, small publications, human rights groups, and others. But Google is doing that from its own initiative at a relatively high cost. Should there instead be a tax on computer hardware and/or software that goes towards a fund that is then used for organizations like this to have permanent DDOS mitigation?
