1st discussion:

In today’s world, both government and the private sector are struggling to provide a secure, efficient, timely, and separate means of delivering essential services internationally. As a result, these critical national infrastructure systems remain at risk from potential attacks via the Internet.

It is the policy of the United States to prevent or minimize disruptions to the critical national information infrastructure in order to protect the public, the economy, government services, and the national security of the United States.The Federal Government is continually increasing capabilities to address cyber risk associated with critical networks and information systems.

Please explain how you would reduce potential vulnerabilities, protect against intrusion attempts, and better anticipate future threats.

2nd Discussion:

Chapter 13 discussed managing complex systems and chapter 15 introduced the advantages of visual decision support. Discuss how you would combine the two concepts to create visualizations for an ABM-Based Gaming simulation for policy making. First, describe what specific policy youâ€re trying to create. Letâ€s stick with the Smart City scenario. Describe a specific policy (that you havenâ€t used before), and how you plan to use ABM-Based Gaming to build a model for simulate the effects of the policy. Then, describe what type of visualization technique youâ€ll use to make the model more accessible. Use figure 15.9 and describe what data a new column for your policy would contain.

NOTE: NOTE: These discussions are kind of informal discussions (NOT research papers). So, it would be fine to write one page for each discussion. If you MUST directly quote a resource, then cite it properly. However, I would much rather simply read your words. Need to references (in APA format)

In your initial response for this week, explain why a diversified portfolio can eliminate some, but not all, of the risk of the individual securities. Describe how the variance terms are effectively diversified away in a large portfolio, but the covariance terms are not. Given your assessment on the mechanics of a diversified portfolio, how would a portfolio with a large percentage (i.e., 25 – 40%) of Kimberly-Clark shares, need to be protected or adjusted in terms of accounting for portfolio risk? Or would it? Base your answers on your assumptions and documented portfolio theories, as noted in the textbook (Ross, et al., 2016). Additionally, would shares of Kimberly-Clark within a portfolio be considered a defensive stock? To answer this question, consider whether the company generates a significant amount of cash flow, and how much of it is used for dividends and share repurchases. How is Kimberly-Clarkâ€s distribution policy impacting the company and is it increasing or decreasing its EPS and dividends-per-share?
