Psalm 122:7 states, \u201cPeace be within your walls and security within your towers\u201d (ESV). The writing of Psalms is generally attributed to King David in ancient Israel. The verse is referring to a city, Jerusalem. This is very clearly indicating a physical threat, possibly a surrounding unfriendly nation or group of people. However, threats may come from a variety of attackers and in many forms. Psalm 9:10 says, \u201cThose who know your name trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you\u201d (NIV).\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p> a.) Review the specific Bible passages. <\/p>\n<p> b.) Be sure to address the following prompts in your paper: <\/p>\n<p> \u00b7 In the context of our world today, and particularly technology, where are today\u2019s threats likely to come from? <\/p>\n<p> \u00b7 Security is \u201cwithin your towers,\u201d so how can we work to assure that \u201cpeace,\u201d or security? <\/p>\n<p> c.) Considering your cultural\/religious background, what is your personal view regarding God protecting us humans? Explain your opinion and provide examples if possible. <\/p>\n<p> d.)

The Scriptures warn us about evil practices. When one thinks of information systems security, a biblical verse that encourages us to prepare for a hacker or attacker is not usually considered, but consider Proverbs 2:11, \u201cDiscretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you\u201d (NIV). In addition, Psalm 34:19 states, \u201cThe righteous person may have troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all\u201d (NIV). When we are vigilant, God promises to bless our efforts. <\/p>\n<p> a.) Review the specific Bible passages. <\/p>\n<p> b.) Be sure to address to the following prompts in your paper: <\/p>\n<p> \u00b7 Considering your religious\/cultural background, what do you see as God\u2019s role in our security efforts? <\/p>\n<p> \u00b7 What does the Bible say we need to do for God\u2019s blessing? <\/p>\n<p> \u00b7 How would you apply the principles of these verses in your workplace? <\/p>\n<p> c.) Your paper should be at least 250 words in length. <\/p>\n<p> &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;- <\/p>\n<p> 3.1 Assignment\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p> During the COVID-19 stay-at-home requirements, many people worked from home. To carry on business, companies utilized various web-based meeting tools (such as Zoom). Some of these tools lacked robust security. A company, being proactive, sought to assure security against those attempting to take over such sessions. <\/p>\n<p> In Christianity, God brings to mind those things we need to ensure protection against, including issues related to computer security. We again look to the word of God for Scripture that tells us that safety can be found in the Lord. Psalm 140:4 says, \u201cKeep me safe, Lord, from the hands of the wicked; protect me from the violent, who devise ways to trip my feet\u201d (NIV). We find in the Bible the admonition to seek the Lord in our activities as protection from those that would trick us. <\/p>\n<p> a.) Review the specific Bible passages. <\/p>\n<p> b.) Be sure to address the following prompts in your paper: <\/p>\n<p> \u00b7 How do you see this verse applying to the attackers\u2019 attempts at social engineering? <\/p>\n<p> \u00b7 How would you apply the principles of these verses in your workplace? <\/p>\n<p> c.)

Training is considered important in maintaining a healthy perspective in life. So too can training of employees provide many benefits. A security awareness program provided to employees is designed to teach the user community to recognize someone attempting to compromise their system. Training is suggested as a good method of being prepared. 1 Timothy 4:7 says, \u201cHave nothing to do with irreverent, silly myths. Rather train your yourself for godliness\u201d (ESV). We do not wish to be uninformed, and therefore we train ourselves. Deuteronomy 4:9 goes on to encourage us to \u201conly take care, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things that your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life\u201d (ESV). The Bible recommends preparing oneself for knowing what is right, through training. <\/p>\n<p> a.) Review the specific Bible passages. <\/p>\n<p> b.) Be sure to address the following prompts in your paper: <\/p>\n<p> \u00b7 How does keeping your soul diligently and training for godliness compare to training used in the workplace? <\/p>\n<p> \u00b7 How might you apply the principles presented in these verses to prepare a security awareness program? <\/p>\n<p> c.) Your paper should be at least 250 words in length. <\/p>\n<p> &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;- <\/p>\n<p> 5.1 Assignment <\/p>\n<p> One of the most interesting verses in the Bible\u2019s Old Testament that concerns preparation is found in Proverbs 24:6, where we read, \u201cIn their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps\u201d (NIV). The verse seems to indicate that nothing we do is really of our own design, but rather that the Lord has a plan for us. However, we also see the need to plan emphasized when we compare that verse to Proverbs 13:6, \u201cA wise man thinks ahead; a fool does not, and even brags about it\u201d (NIV). <\/p>\n<p> a.) Review the specific Bible passages. <\/p>\n<p> b.) Be sure to address the following prompts in your paper: <\/p>\n<p> Compare the two verses from Proverbs above to the discussions on security of our assets. <\/p>\n<p> How might you apply the principles emphasized in these verses in your own workplace? <\/p>\n<p> c.) Your paper should be at least 250 words in length. <\/p>\n<p> &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;- <\/p>\n<p> 6.1 Assignment <\/p>\n<p> The Scriptures encourage we live in honesty, in truth. This applies to work as well as our interactions with friends and family. We should always be practitioners of honesty and ethical behavior. One of our guiding principles should be that we are concerned with the truth. How do we know the truth? Psalm 1:2 says, \u201cBut his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night\u201d (ESV). \u201cHis delight is in the law of the Lord\u201d refers to our constant, vigilant effort to maintain our integrity. <\/p>\n<p> a.) Review the specific Bible passages. <\/p>\n<p> b.) Be sure to address the following prompts in your paper: <\/p>\n<p> How might this verse impact your work as an IT professional? <\/p>\n<p> How would you apply the principles of this verse to your personal life as well as professional? <\/p>\n<p> c.)
