Assignment:
Overview
A blog is written in an informal or conversational style and usually accessible through a blog owner's individual or business website or social media. Blogs typically include text, pictures, videos, and links to other sites. It is often meant to share information on a specific topic.
For this discussion assignment, you will write a high-level, informational blog directed to the general public. This blog should align to the same industry (financial or healthcare) that you chose for Part 1 of your midterm. We will use the discussion forum format for you to post your blog and comment on at least one classmate's blog.
Direct your blog to a non-technical audience and consider, how you will make your write-up "catchy" to grab a reader's attention. At a high-level, you should answer the following questions in your blog:
- What are security and privacy?
- Why do organizations (in either healthcare or financial services) need to worry about security and privacy?
- What resources (laws, regulations, standards) are available to people to find out more about compliance requirements?
- Why should the average person be concerned?
