Cybersecurity Program White Paper
Cybersecurity Program White Paper
Assignment:
You are the first Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) for your organization, and on your first day, you realize there are no impactful cybersecurity practices established or implemented, and decide to submit a white paper to the CEO, calling for action. Develop a project plan to stand up a brand new cybersecurity program in the form of a 10-13 page White Paper, referencing the course material, industry best practices, and NIST guidance.
Guidelines:
10-13 pages of content. In lieu of an abstract, write an executive summary. The executive summary, title page, and references page, are not included in the total.
At a minimum, 10 references should be used. All cited articles, journals, books, and research, should be from credible sources and current within the last five years. Note: Wikipedia or personal blogs are not credible.
Tables and graphics, if used, will count for no more than 1 page in the total. Anything more is welcome, but the space used will be deducted from the total page count. Remember that tables and graphics require in-text citations.
APA formatting is required throughout – running head, page numbers, appropriate font, citations, etc.
Content Tips:
Understand the scope and value of your project.
Describe the problem you are fixing by proposing this new cybersecurity program. This would include potential threat, financial loss, etc, that the organization faces due to lack of cybersecurity.
Reference the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (v1.1) to build the structure of your program. This framework details each vital function of cybersecurity – Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover – and will guide your research.
Specifically, incorporate the steps detailed in section 3.2: Establishing or Improving a cybersecurity program.
Keep in mind NIST is a starting point, but other resources are required (see Guidelines below).
Be sure to include the following details:
Include methods and best practices that satisfy each function in the framework. The categories and sub-categories offer more details for ensuring your program is robust. You do not have to list out and talk to every single sub-category; view them as data points to drive your vision.
Write a security policy for your organization. The purpose of a security policy is to safeguard the confidentiality, integrity, and availability, of the organization’s systems and information. Be sure to include objectives, scope, specific goals, and consequences in the event of noncompliance.
Create a team. Define roles and responsibilities of all stakeholders, including those of the CISO.
Describe the access control methods you would implement for your building and network.
Develop a method to track performance and report metrics.

Effects of Nursing Staff Shortages to the Health Care System
There has a been a rise in the number of nurse shortages in the health care systems. Most of this is due increase in nurse turnover especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. The nurses are complaining of lack of job satisfaction and motivation (Haddad et al., 2022). They are overworking themselves as they try to take on more shifts. The patient-nurse ratio is not even making the nurses have burnout. The nurses are not also allowed to take leaves or off days so as to rest from stressful work environment. Most of the nurses are female and therefore have to take maternity leaves after pregnancy so as to take care of their kids and families (Holmberg et al., 2018). This has to clearly stop since has led to a number of negative effects. The leading effect is the increase in mortality late. Since not every patient can access a nurse easily, some are forced to be taken care by care givers who do not have the nursing knowledge and skills. The patient ends up dying. There has also been an increase of medical errors (Haddad et al., 2022). This is mostly due to overworking the available nurses. If the number of nurses is increased the medication errors will reduce.
There are a number of ways that can increase the number of nurse availability. The most common of them is increase in their wages and benefits. The government should work on ensuring that the nursing profession should be held with at most priority (Holmberg et al., 2018). They should put aside enough funds to cater for the salaries of the nurses, the nursing teachers and their benefits. The benefits should also include hardship allowances for the nurses who work in the rural under developed areas. Finance aids should also be set aside for nursing students so that they do not suffer in the midst of their studies due to finance problems (Haddad et al., 2022). This will encourage more people to join the nursing profession. Men should also be encouraged to take up the profession seeing that it was previously female dominated. This will be helpful when women have to take leaves to take care of their families. Male patients will also feel more comfortable when been taken care of by male nurses. Do you think the government is capable of setting aside more funds for the nursing profession? Do you think that the government setting aside funds for nursing fields will attract more people to the career? Will the stereotype of nursing being a females profession ever die?
