Critical Thinking Activity: Module 01

Question 1

Look at the section and table earlier in this module on the 12 categories of threats. Which of the categories best fits what is going on in the situation JJ described in the opening scenario of this module?

Answer 1

From the opening scenario and from what I can understand from reading the module I would guess that it could be one of two threats ether “Information extortion”, or ‘Espionage or trespass”.

Question 2

How does the exchange between JJ and Paul earlier in this module indicate that this company has thought about contingency planning?

Answer 2

The company has conducted awareness training.

Question 3

Ethical Decision Making

At the start of this module, suppose Paul’s initial response to JJ was, “Thanks for telling me. I’ll think about it and get back to you later.” When he says this, Amanda looks startled and almost speaks.

Should JJ push the issue or initiate the event review process himself?

Answer 3

Without knowing Paul’s credentials its hard to say, but id say that JJ should push the issue and if it seems its not going anywhere then initiate the review process himself.
