PAD 502: Organizational Dynamics
Final Project – Learning Assessment of a Real-World Organization
The purpose of this assignment is to create an opportunity for students to apply the ideas and concepts
discussed in the class and the readings in the analysis of a real-world organization. Your choice of an
organization will be an important one, and may be drawn from your own experience or be an organization
were information is readily available.
Be sure to maintain a professional stance in relation to matters that are sensitive and confidential. When
necessary, you should disguise the source of your project (unless the case is drawn from public records)
through use of appropriate pseudonyms. Confidentiality and the general conduct of the project are entirely
your responsibility, so proceed with caution and ethical care.
In essence, the case study invites you to do the following:
1) Identify an organization to be assessed based on the principles of organizational learning (overall
course theme).
2) Consider the three organizational perspectives and the associated materials as lenses for such an
assessment.
3) Engage in research activity that allows you to test the relevance of the different ideas through the
accumulation of relevant information and data.
Formal Requirements
1. Part 1 – Organizational Overview (25 Points)
(Due 10/16 at 11:59 PM)
The aim of part 1 is to get you started on the project and to get you into a frame of mind that is
analytical, takes the ideas discussed in the class and applies them to the organization being studied.
This report should be no more than 6 double-spaced typewritten pages (APA format) and include the
following:
A brief account of the organization being investigated, providing sufficient information for the reader
to understand the nature of the organization and its context. This section should include relevant
background information as well as a clear statement of the focus of your case study. For example, it is
appropriate to provide information on the age, size, and history of the organization, the product or
services it provides, and the general nature of its environment.
The account should also offer a clear, concise argument as to the value of assessing this organization
based on the principles of organizational learning. This is a critical dimension of your paper and cannot
be overemphasized. Recall that our objective in this course is always to demonstrate the relevance of
sound theory to real-world organizations. Part 1, then, should be demonstrate the potential value of
organizational learning principles specifically for your chosen organization and more broadly for good
government.
Make sure that the report is written in a professional manner. It will be judged according to the quality
of analysis and presentation, in accordance with the criteria listed later in the grading rubric.

1.Being sure that one has the resources necessary to accomplish the goals is an essential step. Preparation is very important. Without all of the necessary resources one cannot succeed. I know people that are very organized with their life and the time that they have every day. The values and mission are clear and their goals and objectives align with their life course. Each hour of the day is focused on using their short-term goals to reach their long-term goal that is consistent with their mission and values. The key here is that they took the time to do the work to explore what it is they really wanted in life and what was important in all of their roles to arrive at this plan. How many of us have a well-crafted life plan?

A 52-year-old obese Caucasian male presents to the clinic with a 2-day history of fever, chills, and right great toe pain that has gotten worse. Patient states this is the first time that this has happened, and nothing has made it better and walking on his right foot makes it worse. He has tried acetaminophen, but it did not help. He took several ibuprofen tablets last night which did give him a bit of relief. Past medical history positive or hypertension treated with hydrochlorothiazide and kidney stones. Social history negative for tobacco use but admits to drinking “a fair amount of red wine” every week. General appearance: Ill appearing male who sits with his right foot elevated. Physical exam remarkable for a temp of 101.2, pulse 108, respirations 18 and BP 160/88. Right great toe (first metatarsal phalangeal [MTP]) noticeably swollen and red. Unable to palpate to assess range of motion due to extreme pain. CBC and Complete metabolic profile revealed WBC 14,000 mm3 and uric acid 8.9 mg/dl. The APRN diagnoses the patient with acute gout.

1.1Arguments, Premises, and Conclusions
How Logical Are You?
· After a momentary absence, you return to your table in the library only to find your smartphone is missing. It was there just minutes earlier. You suspect the student sitting next to you took it. After all, she has a guilty look. Also, there is a bulge in her backpack about the size of your phone, and one of the pouches has a loose strap. Then you hear a “ring” come from the backpack—and it’s the same ringtone that you use on your phone. Which of these pieces of evidence best supports your suspicion?
Answer
The best evidence is undoubtedly the “ring” you hear coming from her backpack, which is the same ringtone as the one on your phone. The weakest evidence is probably the “guilty look.” After all, what, exactly, is a guilty look? The bulge in the backpack and the loose strap are of medium value. The loose strap supports the hypothesis that something was quickly inserted into the backpack. In this section of the chapter you will learn that evidentiary statements form the premises of arguments.
Logic may be defined as the organized body of knowledge, or science, that evaluates arguments. All of us encounter arguments in our day-to-day experience. We read them in books and newspapers, hear them on television, and formulate them when communicating with friends and associates. The aim of logic is to develop a system of methods and principles that we may use as criteria for evaluating the arguments of others and as guides in constructing arguments of our own. Among the benefits to be expected from the study of logic is an increase in confidence that we are making sense when we criticize the arguments of others and when we advance arguments of our own.
An argument, in its simplest form, is a group of statements, one or more of which (the premises) are claimed to provide support for, or reasons to believe, one of the others (the conclusion). Every argument may be placed in either of two basic groups: those in which the premises really do support the conclusion and those in which they do not, even though they are claimed to. The former are said to be good arguments (at least to that extent), the latter bad arguments. The purpose of logic, as the science that evaluates arguments, is thus to develop methods and techniques that allow us to distinguish good arguments from bad.
As is apparent from the given definition, the term argument has a very specific meaning in logic. It does not mean, for example, a mere verbal fight, as one might have with one’s parent, spouse, or friend. Let us examine the features of this definition in greater detail. First of all, an argument is a group of statements. A statement is a sentence that is either true or false—in other words, typically a declarative sentence or a sentence component that could stand as a declarative sentence. The following sentences are statements:
Chocolate truffles are loaded with calories.
Melatonin helps relieve jet lag.

1.0. Introduction Effective project management is consid.docxbraycarissa250
1.0. Introduction
Effective project management is considered an essential part of a company’s way to
success, as, to put it simply, its main purpose is to predict any risk that might affect a
project of a company and prepare the latter for it (Lock, 2013).
Since 2010, Netflix, world-leading subscription video on-demand streaming service,
has been producing its own content, such as series and full-length movies (Netflix,
2019). Such Original series or films could be considered as separate projects, which
are now the key to attracting new audiences and keeping existing Netflix subscribers
(Schomer, 2018). Therefore, it is critical for Netflix to make sure that all these projects
are carefully planned and are executed in a way as smooth as possible.
The aim of this report is to analyse the project management process of “Bird Box”, the
most successful Netflix movie project by far, thus gaining useful transferable
knowledge and providing recommendations for future similar projects.
1.1. Project Background
“Bird Box” is a 2018 movie produced by Netflix, which makes the film a so-called Netflix
Original, meaning it is available only on Netflix (Netflix, 2019; Netflix Media Center,
2019).
“Bird Box” is a sci-fi psychological drama thriller, which tells a story of a woman and
two children trying to survive in an apocalyptic world (Netflix, 2019). It premiered on
21st December 2018 (Netflix Media Center, 2019).
The movie is based on the eponymous novel by Josh Malerman, published in 2014
(Slauer, 2018).
Leading role in the film is performed by Sandra Bullock with the director being Susanne
Bier – both Academy Awards® winners (Netflix Media Center, 2019).
“Bird Box” became the most successful Netflix Original movie so far. Although it was
not highly appraised by critics, it generated significant amount of conversations and
feedback in social media and is the most watched Netflix Original movie at the moment
of writing (Lee, 2019).

2.0. Project Management Landscape
According to Wysocki (2014), “a project is a sequence of unique, complex, and
connected activities that have one goal or purpose and that must be completed by a
specific time, within budget, and according to specification”. Following from this
definition, every project should have a goal and a solution.
Regarding goal, Netflix creates its own movies and series as a part of its vertical
integration strategy. Indeed, replacing licensed content with its own not only eliminates
the cost Netflix would otherwise have spent on licensing but also helps make the
service unique, thus keeping existing subscribers and attracting new ones (Ball, 2013).
Therefore, it could be stated that the goal of “Bird Box” is to support Netflix’s “worth-
to-watch, unique content” strategy and encourage more subscriptions to the service
(Nicolaou, 2019).
As for solution, firstly, the movie is based on a novel, which has alr.

In this section of the chapter you will learn that evidentiary statements form the premises of arguments.
Logic may be defined as the organized body of knowledge, or science, that evaluates arguments. All of us encounter arguments in our day-to-day experience. We read them in books and newspapers, hear them on television, and formulate them when communicating with friends and associates. The aim of logic is to develop a system of methods and principles that we may use as criteria for evaluating the arguments of others and as guides in constructing arguments of our own. Among the benefits to be expected from the study of logic is an increase in confidence that we are making sense when we criticize the arguments of others and when we advance arguments of our own.
An argument, in its simplest form, is a group of statements, one or more of which (the premises) are claimed to provide support for, or reasons to believe, one of the others (the conclusion). Every argument may be placed in either of two basic groups: those in which the premises really do support the conclusion and those in which they do not, even though they are claimed to.

1.0. Introduction Effective project management is consid.docxbraycarissa250
1.0. Introduction
Effective project management is considered an essential part of a company’s way to
success, as, to put it simply, its main purpose is to predict any risk that might affect a
project of a company and prepare the latter for it (Lock, 2013).
Since 2010, Netflix, world-leading subscription video on-demand streaming service,
has been producing its own content, such as series and full-length movies (Netflix,
2019). Such Original series or films could be considered as separate projects, which
are now the key to attracting new audiences and keeping existing Netflix subscribers
(Schomer, 2018). Therefore, it is critical for Netflix to make sure that all these projects
are carefully planned and are executed in a way as smooth as possible.
The aim of this report is to analyse the project management process of “Bird Box”, the
most successful Netflix movie project by far, thus gaining useful transferable
knowledge and providing recommendations for future similar projects.
1.1. Project Background
“Bird Box” is a 2018 movie produced by Netflix, which makes the film a so-called Netflix
Original, meaning it is available only on Netflix (Netflix, 2019; Netflix Media Center,
2019).
“Bird Box” is a sci-fi psychological drama thriller, which tells a story of a woman and
two children trying to survive in an apocalyptic world (Netflix, 2019). It premiered on
21st December 2018 (Netflix Media Center, 2019).
The movie is based on the eponymous novel by Josh Malerman, published in 2014
(Slauer, 2018).
Leading role in the film is performed by Sandra Bullock with the director being Susanne
Bier – both Academy Awards® winners (Netflix Media Center, 2019).
“Bird Box” became the most successful Netflix Original movie so far. Although it was
not highly appraised by critics, it generated significant amount of conversations and
feedback in social media and is the most watched Netflix Original movie at the moment
of writing (Lee, 2019).

2.0. Project Management Landscape
According to Wysocki (2014), “a project is a sequence of unique, complex, and
connected activities that have one goal or purpose and that must be completed by a
specific time, within budget, and according to specification”. Following from this
definition, every project should have a goal and a solution.
Regarding goal, Netflix creates its own movies and series as a part of its vertical
integration strategy. Indeed, replacing licensed content with its own not only eliminates
the cost Netflix would otherwise have spent on licensing but also helps make the
service unique, thus keeping existing subscribers and attracting new ones (Ball, 2013).
Therefore, it could be stated that the goal of “Bird Box” is to support Netflix’s “worth-
to-watch, unique content” strategy and encourage more subscriptions to the service
(Nicolaou, 2019).
As for solution, firstly, the movie is based on a novel, which has alr.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Personal data breaches and securing IoT devices
· By Damon Culbert (2019)
The Internet of Things (IoT) is taking the world by storm as
interconnected devices fill workplaces and homes across the
US. While the intention of these devices is always to make our
lives easier, their ability to connect to the internet turns them
into ticking time bombs, lying in wait until their weaknesses
can be exploited by opportunistic hackers.
Personal data breaches are skyrocketing in America, increasing
by 60% in the last year and by 157 percent since 2015. As our
interconnectivity grows, so do the opportunities that our
technology will be hacked. Since every IoT device is connected
to the internet, each one is vulnerable to external access if not
secured properly. In the rush to manufacture these devices and
get them onto the market, security has been an afterthought
which needs to be urgently addressed if the number of yearly
data breaches is to be tackled.
Not only is the actual security of IoT devices under constant
debate but recent news stories surrounding both the Amazon
Alexa and Google Home products -- central machines to most
home IoT set-ups -- show that even when used properly, the
security implications of these devices can be suspect.
Though many expect IoT to revolutionize our everyday lives,
the potential holes they open up in our security infrastructures
could become an insurmountable problem if not dealt with soon.
Workplace IoT
12. IoT in the workplace can range from integrated systems such as
air conditioning and security systems to Wi-Fi enabled coffee
machines. But every point of access in a system has potential
for weakness, meaning the more connected devices there are the
harder it is to protect. Many believe that blockchain technology
has the answer for IoT security issues due to its decentralized
nature and the ability to timestamp and identify each connected
device, allowing for more accurate access records and a more
stable network where no central point is vulnerable.
The other key issue with workplace IoT is the necessity of
regular updates to keep all devices secured. In working
environments where machines are working 24/7, there is no time
to take machines out of service to complete updates, meaning
identified weaknesses can be left unresolved. This allows
hackers multiple opportunities to exploit the insecurities in an
individual device and gain access to the central network from
there.
Creators of IoT devices will need to address the concerns of
their consumers in order to create products which can be
routinely secured and hold a high base standard of security.
Integrated homes
With an explosion of interconnected devices for the home
comes a unique challenge that consumers are often completely
oblivious to. Some IoT devices have no way to securely store
the Wi-Fi password which connects them, meaning that a hacker
who is able to gain access to this device can find the Wi-Fi
password and exploit the entire network, risking data such as
banking and personal details as well as general internet activity.
It’s unrealistic to expect consumers to use blockchain security
for their washing machines and digital cameras so necessary
security changes are going to have to start with the brands
making the products. Ensuring that safety is properly considered
before marketing any IoT device is the surest way to keep
consumers’ data safe within their own network.
Google Home and Amazon Alexa
While not directly at the mercy of hackers, the recent
13. revelations that recordings taken by both Amazon’s Alexa and
Google Home devices have been sent to human listeners within
the company raises different privacy concerns. The companies
have assured that the recordings have been shared with human
employees for training and research purposes but as the recent
leak shows, holding personal data on recordings makes it
susceptible to malicious actors online.
Amazon have taken further steps to allow users to control how
Alexa stores their data and have it deleted using voice
commands, making it slightly easier to protect what you say in
your own home. However, many consumers buy these products
without thinking of the implications of keeping a device that is
always listening in their home. Companies who produce home
assistant speakers need to be more transparent with how they
use consumer data and take further steps to ensure no sensitive
personal data is kept in recordings to help reduce the number of
data breaches each year.
Trials are set to begin in the UK by Natwest bank where Google
Home users will be able to check their balance with their voice.
As this follows immediately on from the leaked recordings, it
seems there is still little concern for the ways in which we share
our personal data with the devices we use. However, online
security will likely become a much bigger topic in the future as
the number of internet-enabled devices rises.
The Internet of Things is proving that technology continues to
advance at a rapid pace. Although consumers will need to
ensure that security is a high priority in order to protect their
own data and data handled by organizations, the first step must
be taken by manufacturers to ensure these products are created
to high security standard.

Final Research Project - Securing IoT Devices: What are the
Challenges?
14. Internet security, in general, is a challenge that we have been
dealing with for decades. It is a regular topic of discussion and
concern, but a relatively new segment of internet security is
getting most attention—internet of things (IoT). So why is
internet of things security so important?
The high growth rate of IoT should get the attention of
cybersecurity professionals. The rate at which new technology
goes to market is inversely proportional to the amount of
security that gets designed into the product. According to IHS
Markit, “The number of connected IoT devices worldwide will
jump 12 percent on average annually, from nearly 27 billion in
2017 to 125 billion in 2030.”
IoT devices are quite a bit different from other internet-
connected devices such as laptops and servers. They are
designed with a single purpose in mind, usually running
minimal software with minimal resources to serve that purpose.
Adding the capability to run and update security software is
often not taken into consideration.
Due to the lack of security integrated into IoT devices, they
present significant risks that must be addressed. IoT security is
the practice of understanding and mitigating these risks. Let’s
consider the challenges of IoT security and how we can address
them.
Some security practitioners suggest that key IoT security steps
include:
1. Make people aware that there is a threat to security;
2. Design a technical solution to reduce security vulnerabilities;
3. Align the legal and regulatory frameworks; and
4. Develop a workforce with the skills to handle IoT security.
Final Assignment - Project Plan (Deliverables):
1) Address each of the FOURIoT security steps listed above in
terms of IoT devices.
2) Explain in detail, in a step-by-step guide, how to make
people more aware of the problems associated with the use of
IoT devices.

What are the Challenges of IoT Security?
IoT has many of the same security challenges that other systems
have. There are, however, some challenges that are unique to
IoT.
1. Embedded Passwords. Embedding passwords in IoT devices
make it easy for remote support technicians to access devices
for troubleshooting and simplifies the installation of multiple
devices. Of course, it also simplifies access to devices for
malicious purposes.
2. Lack of device authentication. Allowing IoT devices access
to the network without authenticating opens the network to
unknown and unauthorized devices. Rogue devices can serve as
an entry point for attacks or even as a source of attacks.
3. Patching and upgrading. Some IoT devices do not provide a
simple (or any) means to patch or upgrade software. This results
in many IoT devices with vulnerabilities continuing to be in
use.
4. Physical hardening. Physical access to IoT devices can
introduce risk if those devices are not hardened against physical
attack. Such an attack may not be intended to damage the
device, but rather to extract information. Simply removing a
microSD memory card to read its contents can give an attacker
private data, as well as information such as embedded
passwords that may allow access to other devices.
5. Outdated components. When vulnerabilities are discovered in
hardware or software components of IoT devices, it can be
difficult and expensive for manufacturers or users to update or
replace them. As with patches, this results in many IoT devices
with vulnerabilities continuing to be used.
6. Device monitoring and management. IoT devices do not
always have a unique identifier that facilitates asset tracking,
monitoring, and management. IT personnel do not necessarily
consider IoT devices among the hosts that they monitor and
16. manage. Asset tracking systems sometimes neglect to include
IoT devices, so they sit on the network without being managed
or monitored.
Most of these issues can be attributed to security being an
afterthought (if a thought at all) in the design and
manufacturing of IoT devices. Even those IoT developers who
consider security in the design process struggle with
implementation. Most IoT devices are limited by minimal
processing power, memory, and data transfer speeds. This is a
necessary evil in order to keep the size and cost of the devices
small. Accordingly, security controls must be implemented to
compensate for these inherent weaknesses.
The first step to implementing security controls is to determine
where those controls are needed. This is another challenge for
protecting IoT devices. Since IoT devices are often not
recognized as network devices, they get overlooked when
inventorying or mapping the network. If you do not know it is
there, you cannot protect it.
Fortunately, IoT device manufacturers are beginning to address
these issues, but organizations that are planning or currently
using IoT cannot sit back and wait for that to happen. There are
measures that organizations can take right now to protect their
IoT devices and networks from attacks.Security Requirements
of IoT
Manufacturers and implementers must implement security
practices to mitigate IoT risks. Steps can be taken to better
secure IoT and address known risks.
Security Challenge
Solution
Embedded passwords
17. Rather than embedding passwords in their products,
manufacturers should require users to create a strong password
during device setup.
Lack of device authentication
Manufacturers should provide a means for their devices to
authenticate to the network. IT personnel should require devices
to authenticate before joining the network.
Patching and upgrading
Manufacturers need to make it easy for devices to be upgraded
or patched. Ideally, this would be an automatic or one-click
process.
Physical hardening
IoT devices should be made tamper-proof. Devices should be
monitored to detect time offline and inspected after
unexpectedly dropping offline.
Outdated components
Vulnerable devices should be updated or replaced. This can be
difficult to remedy, especially in environments that have many
IoT devices in remote locations. In those cases, tighter security
controls and more vigilant monitoring should be implemented.
Device monitoring and management
Ensure that all IoT devices are included in asset tracking,
monitoring, and management systems. Manufacturers should
provide a unique identifier for each device.
18. Clearly, many of these security issues can only be resolved by
the manufacturer. One that organizations’ security, IT, and OT
teams can address is device management. It is up to those
planning and/or implementing the rollout of IoT devices to
ensure that they are accounted for in asset management, systems
monitoring, security monitoring, and incident response systems.
Breaches and Hacks
There are two broad categories of attacks that involve IoT
devices: those in which the IoT devices themselves are the end
target of the attack, and those that use IoT devices to attack
other targets. We have seen both types of attacks used in the
real world and by security researchers as a proof of concept.
In October of 2016, an attack against Dyn, a company that
provides DNS services, made much of the internet inaccessible.
Twitter, Spotify, Github, Netflix, The New York Times, Paypal
and other major websites were down for hours.
The attack used the Mirai IoT Botnet, taking control of over
600,000 IoT devices to flood Dyn with traffic in a massive
DDoS attack. The devices seemed to be mostly routers and IP
cameras. IP cameras are frequently targeted IoT devices.
In a scary example of an attack where the IoT device was the
target, the “device” was a car. Fortunately, this was a controlled
demonstration by security researchers Charlie Miller and Chris
Valasek. They demonstrated the attack for Wired writer Andy
Greenberg, who was driving a Jeep Cherokee.
19. Miller and Valasek, from miles away over a cellular internet
connection, remotely turned on the A/C, radio, and windshield
wipers. That was just the beginning. Next, they caused the Jeep
to slow, remotely rendering the accelerator useless.How to
Secure IoT Systems and Devices
It is clear that IoT attacks can have serious consequences.
Securing IoT systems and devices must be done by both the
manufacturers and the organizations using them. The security
controls that organizations can put in place are similar to the
controls they already use on their network. The key to securing
IoT is to know what IoT devices are on your network and where
they are in your network topology. Until you know that, you are
flying blind. You cannot protect what you cannot see.
One way to identify IoT devices on your network is to require
all hosts and devices to authenticate when joining the network.
Devices that fail authentication can then be identified. If they
belong on the network, authentication can then be configured
for that device. If they do not belong on the network, you have
discovered a rogue device.
You can further secure IoT devices by segmenting the network
and dedicating one segment to IoT. This will allow you to
firewall that segment and apply IoT-specific rules. It would also
allow you to quickly block traffic from that segment in the
event that an IoT device is compromised.
Once you have IoT devices authenticated, you can then gain
20. visibility into their activity using a cloud-native security
monitoring and analytics platform like Sumo Logic. The Sumo
Logic platform helps you make data-driven decisions and reduce
the time to investigate security and operational issues so you
can free up resources for more important activities. For even
greater visibility into security events, integrated threat
intelligence from Crowdstrike is included for up-to-date IOC
data that can be quickly cross-correlated to identify threats in
your environment.
