Target lesson learned why Small business need cyber insurance
http://news.softpedia.com/news/target-to-pay-18-5-million-to-47-states-for-2013-data-breach-516007.shtml
It has always been my opinion that all business need to plan for unforseen issues via insurance. Just as consumers have car, home and etc.... This TARGET settlement highlights the need for or at the very least demonstrates the liability that business incur when operating in cyber space. Target can absorb this but i imagine my account or cleaners that operate via the WWW as a critical business component and what would be their recourse in a similar instance. Despite recent regulation for POS and health there is no over arching regulation for PII (personable identity information) and small business best business practices. This leaves a considerable gap for the small business that operates in cyber space. As a tangent is there a need for retailers to warn buyers of vulnerabilities in IOT?

FIOS internet is down
Just spoke to a representative to let her know that my FIOS has been out and that I do not have access at the ONT. Apparently the technicians had not informed customer service of wide spread outages in VA, PA and MD.
Verizion is in need of some process improvements. I hope they get ahead of this before the morning rush in about 3 hours. I didnt ask if there is a differentprocess for buisness customers, I hope so.
Fios internet is down but TV still works I know they utilize MoCa between boxes in the house to stay synced for time and DVR.

(Draft in progress) National_cyber security_workforce_framework and Cyber career paths
Aligning the NCWF and Cybersecurity career paths
Ultimately the goal is to do something you like to do, provide for your family and take care of your responsibilities; although I have had genuine success in meeting this three objectives I can also say that i understand simply wanting to move into a career field that has momentum. (insert job forecast)
I hope that by discussing both the National framework and the various career paths that I can demystify what cyber security is in respect to Information Technology as well as provide some ad hock guidance to prepare cyber workforce prospects for a very rewarding career
cyber-security-workforce-framework 2016
"The National Cybersecurity Workforce Framework provides a blueprint to categorize, organize, and describe cybersecurity work into Specialty Areas, tasks, and knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs)." It represents the broadest overarching dialogue on jobs, skill sets and workforce expectations in respect to each distinct functionality. This does not, however represent a strict skill set trajectory, since individuals may have multiple functions based on the size and strategic objectives of the organization. The Investigate and Operate/ Maintain functions are a practical example where an organization could benefit from combining the functionalities into one Job requirement.
The NCWF also "provides a common language to speak about cyber roles and jobs and helps define personal requirements in cybersecurity."
