Homework: Seasonal Employees and Cybersecurity
Welcome to Padgett-Beale and your first week as a management intern.
Before you begin working on this paper, make sure that you have read the readings!
The Chief of Staff will be hosting a working lunch this week for your group of interns. In addition to the usual introductions and "getting to know you" discussions, you've been advised that there will be a discussion of the article "Seasonal Employee Security Risks: Present Danger, Proactive Defense" By Douglas Bonderud.
Each intern has been asked to write and bring a discussion paper containing their written responses to the following questions:
o Do you agree or disagree with the author's assertions regarding seasonal employees and cybersecurity risks in the work place? Why?
o What steps can (should) managers take to reduce security risks associated with hiring seasonal or temporary employees? (Consider whether or not the Secure Computer User training course would be appropriate for these employees.)
o How can managers show leadership in the area of cybersecurity defenses and best practices?
As you write your response, remember to provide examples from the article and other readings for this week. Explain why you agree or disagree and provide examples, if appropriate. Your examples should be relevant to the hospitality industry and hotel operations. Consider the ways in which these types of companies are likely to use seasonal employees and the types of digital assets / information to which these temporary employees may have access.
Format your homework according to the following formatting requirements:
o The answer should be typed, using Times New Roman font (size 12), double spaced, with one-inch margins on all sides.
o The response also includes a cover page containing the title of the homework, the student's name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
o Also include a reference page. The Citations and references must follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
