Assume you have just accepted the position as CIO for a small but growing firm and are tasked with developing a plan for your organizations’ existing telecommunication structures and computer networks. The organization needs to protect the valuable information it has but be flexible enough to accommodate employees as they go about executing their jobs and getting business done. It needs to address security aspects such as remote data access, enterprise mobility, and internal communications such as email.

In a minimum 4 pages APA formatted paper (excluding title and reference pages) using the lecture, supplemental resources, and your research, discuss the following elements.

Illustrate the general architecture (centralized or distributed) to support the goals of the organization.
Using information from the course and your research, develop an outline of your security policy and plans that address the areas identified such as remote data access, smartphone access, and internal communications. Be as specific as possible.
Examine and compare the security policy differences between users who work remotely to users who work on-site in a traditional office environment.
Evaluate the elements critical for a successful implementation of such communication systems. Are they more technical such as hardware, software, network infrastructure, security, and cloud computing or more managerial such as project management, change management, logistics, and user involvement? Your list can be different from the list above. Provide the reasons for your arguments.
Include a minimum of five resources, one of which may be the textbook. Of these sources, three must be from the UAGC Library or IT industry standard periodicals.

Remote User Security Policy: Remote users should adhere to the same security policies as on-site users, however there may be additional considerations for remote access.

he CEO should focus on fostering ongoing dialogue. Conversations must be 2-way and scheduled to occur on a regular basis with members of the leadership team to allow them to follow up on feedback from their staff and give them the support they need to perform their roles effectively. Individualized consideration is where the leader provides a supportive environment to help coach followers through the personal challenges (Manns). Consideration should be given for individual differences among the leadership team in order to provide better coaching experiences and delegate responsibilities more effectively. These discussions allow for concerns to be addressed immediately and a timeline for resolution and accountability to be established. Employees feel more supported by their leaders when leaders are concerned with their personal feelings and needs (Nouri, 678).

The CEO needs to set up and follow a plan of action about what specifically needs to be changed or improved in order to create a higher degree of performance. He should also communicate clearly the timeline in which the team is expected to accomplish these changes. The CEO needs to be more specific when assigning tasks in an effort to guide the leadership team toward more specific goals. These changes would lead to a focus on inspiration, which in turn will lead to higher performance. A transformational leader should have a clear vision of the future that is simple, understandable, and energizing (Manns)

Having members of the leadership team on each unit make rounds at least weekly to discuss with staff any concerns that they may have about the organization or their current role and then having the leadership team debrief each other monthly on staff and environmental needs. Transformational leadership is based on having a clear vision of the future that is simple, understandable, and energizing (Manns) This process would follow the tr
