We saw that risk management involves playing the devil’s advocate and asking, “What could go wrong?” Creating scenarios and thinking through situations will help you understand the nature of the risk better. This is your exercise for the week.
Create three fictional incidents for the risk area you selected in Assignment 4. Write about each scenario in not more than 2 pages. Include the following information about each scenario:
Details of the incident—What, where, when, and who?
Explain the cause—How and why?
Include an introduction, conclusion and reference page to this assignment.
Scenario 2:
In April 2021, Target’s headquarters were targeted by a ransomware attack which resulted in the shutdown of all IT systems across its network. The company quickly notified its employees and took steps towards resolving the issue quickly; however due to the severity of the attack they were unable to recover certain files or documents stored on their servers. This caused disruption in operations as employees were unable to access crucial information required for day-to-day tasks while other departments were also affected due to lack of communication between teams.
Scenario 3:
In May 2021 an employee at one of Target’s retail locations reported fraudulent activity taking place within the store. After further investigation it was discovered that a group of individuals had gained unauthorized access into one of target’s Point Of Sale (POS) systems and managed to steal customer credit card information over a period of time before being detected. Following this incident,Target took quick measures such as disabling POS terminals as well as providing extra security around physical stores in order ensure similar incidents don’t occur again.
such things but never always (Begby et al (2006b), Page 326-31). This is supported by Frowe, who measures the legitimate tactics according to proportionality and military necessity. It depends on the magnitude of how much damage done to one another, in order to judge the actions after a war. For example, one cannot simply nuke the terrorist groups throughout the middle-east, because it is not only proportional, it will damage the whole population, an unintended consequence. More importantly, the soldiers must have the right intention in what they are going to achieve, sacrificing the costs to their actions. For example: if soldiers want to execute all prisoners of war, they must do it for the right intention and for a just cause, proportional to the harm done to them. This is supported by Vittola: ‘not always lawful to execute all combatants…we must take account… scale of the injury inflicted by the enemy.’ This is further supported by Frowe approach, which is a lot more moral than Vittola’s view but implies the same agendas: ‘can’t be punished simply for fighting.’ This means one cannot simply punish another because they have been a combatant. They must be treated as humanely as possible. However, the situation is escalated if killing them can lead to peace and security, within the interests of all parties.
Overall, jus in bello suggests in wars, harm can only be used against combatants, never against the innocent. But in the end, the aim is to establish peace and security within the commonwealth. As Vittola’s conclusion: ‘the pursuit of justice for which he fights and the defence of his homeland’ is what nations should be fighting for in wars (Begby et al (2006b), Page 332). Thus, although today’s world has developed, we can see not much different from the modernist accounts on warfare and the traditionists, giving another section of the theory of the just war. Nevertheless, we can still conclude that there cannot be o
