Introduction

 

My names are Emily Okero, I reside in Dallas Texas. I'm married to my wonderful husband George Okero. We have been blessed with 2 beautiful daughters. I have a MS in Cyber Security from the University of Dallas. Currently pursuing my Doctorate in Computer science in the concentration of Cyber security and Information Assurance. I work as a Cyber Security Engineer here in Dallas Texas. This is my 4th semester into my doctoral journey, I'm looking forward to acquiring all the information as possible as I aspire to be a great scholar.

Currently as we can evidently see, things are changing and technology is rampantly moving to the next level unchangeably, most companies and organizations are stepping up their game to have secure protocols in place to protect their data and information accordingly. Cyber security has been incorporated and is universally used today, whereby everyone is becoming aware of the importance of securing their activities as they regularly browse and conduct businesses online. The standards and major role of cybersecurity is skyrocketing, due to the high demands of the activities (Siegel, R. 2019).

Information Technology is a complex field, which requires someone to have solid analytical skills, also be experienced with modern computer hardware and software and the outstanding communication abilities both verbally and written. Working in cybersecurity sphere also implies having high ethical standards and systems. Information technology is challenging and at the same time extremely rewarding career which I got attracted to for a long time, where I was undecided if I could be able to pursue it with my non IT background, because to me it was a huge and a big of a task for me because growing up, we had no computers, I had no idea of what happens beyond what I saw in front of me. Back home in Kenya I aspired to be a teacher, and that is what my undergraduate was. I never dreamt that I will be a Cyber security Analyst or engineer. It was during My internship at Pioneer Natural Resources that I confidently started learning more about IT disciplines and technologies, and this helped me to develop a desire of growing deep and sharpening my abilities in IT concentrating more on Cyber Security.

Futuring and Innovation II

Uncontrollable circumstances Any organization's strategic forecasting depends on its ability to adapt. It takes very short time for an organization to become a total disaster if it fails to adapt to technological changes, market changes, and competitor innovations. Blockbuster, Enron, Blackberry, Kodak, Pan-Am, Blockbuster, Enron, and Enron are examples of giant corporations that failed to adapt to the changing environment. In the imaging industry, Kodak is the leader, in aerospace, Myspace is the leader in social media networking, Yahoo provides internet email and internet websites, Polaroid is the leader in cameras, and Xerox is the leader in copy machines. A revolutionary technology and a brand-new business model caused each of the above corporations to fail because they could no longer compete. For example, Facebook introduced a better user experience than MySpace, which was once the most prominent social networking platform. It seemed like Myspace's adaptation would only h...

The Socio-technical Plan in Robotics

Image
We live in a dynamic and energetic world that is undergoing rapid change, while being surrounded by chaos and uncertainty. There is almost no way to predict what the future will be like based on what is known now. Business organizations realize that innovation of existing systems with the interaction between humans and technology such as robotics is crucial, particularly in the computing world, in an aggressively competitive business environment as shown below. Introduction In organizational development, a social-technical plan involves a system of arranging and designing complex work that integrates technology with human interaction in the workplace. (Long, 2013). Complex infrastructures and human behaviors interact to form the social-technical system. This refers to the interrelatedness of organizations or societies as a whole in terms of social and technical aspects (Trist, & Bamforth, 1951). The use of technology to advance learning and creative expression is a topic that aca...

Cyber Security Innovation for the Future

This Video is about cybersecurity, which is my line of concentration. Cybersecurity helps in mitigating malicious activities like social engineering, phishing, and many other malicious web traffic activities. All cyber-attack events are illicit and the only way to mitigate this kind of activities is by monitoring the risk factors by using Intrusion Detection System. Every organization faces threats that they try to mitigate with reliable and appropriate plan. This kind of plan is known as a threat mitigation plan. The goal is to stay focused and try on seeking for better security parameters by improving the challenges that most organization face today. Cybersecurity challenges are accelerating, thus, causing high and critical impact on an organization. In this video the 1st picture portrays the step and analysis for mitigation plan to assist in providing guidance in these attacks that are associated with the challenges faced by implementing ways for analysis and mitigation of threats. ...
