The world we live in is modern, and being in a modern time pleasurable. Technology is becoming more reliable and always evolving to make life easier. When using the internet can be tricky due to the fact that it’s not truly safe to use. When there is a cyber attack that occurred, private information will be breached. There are several ways to help control it so it won’t lead to a crisis.

 

Incident Response

When a tech company is established, the company will have a security team. In that security team, there will be few members in that team that will be specializing in handling any potential cyber attack – this is called Incident Response. If there is an attack happening, it needs to immediately be resolved so it won’t escalate to a bigger issue. Collapse systems, data breaching, viruses, worms, and more threats are examples of possible outcomes if it left untreated. The manager or whomever is in charge of the security team will be the overseer and then the person beneath the position will help and assist. Legal actions can happen, but, it all depends on the severity.

 

Six phases

Each tech company should have a plan. The first phase is preparation and this when the training begins and the employees will be able to see what is going on. The second phase is identification and this is when where it is coming from or who is causing it. The third phase is containment and this is when not letting it spread anywhere else and able to restrain it. The fourth phase is the eradication and this is when to ask questions and removing the damaged ones away. The fifth phase is the recovery and the un-damage systems can be still use and restore anything that was affected. The sixth phase is lessons learned and this is when not to repeat it again. This plan will definitely help the tech company won’t have a tarnished reputation.

 

Communication

Communication is essential is ant tech company because it will smooth everything out. “But first you need to know who to communicate with, how to reach them, and how to do it with the least friction and fewest resources possible“. Knowing who can talk to will relieve the stress. When the tech company is being alerted that there is a problem, the authoritative positions will be informed. Once every employee knows what is going on, answering any inquiries from the customers can be easy.

 

The Financial Side

This is when to get important things such as insurance or lawyers. There are ways to help reduce the upfront expense of being prepared while simultaneously reducing the cost. The first important thing is to get cyber insurance early so when it does happen the situation will be covered. When hiring a lawyer, he or she has to be experienced and need to get public relations because the public relations will know how to answer the questions correctly.

Building a tech company from the ground up can be hectic and rewarding. The foundation needs to be solid to run smoothly. Knowingly on how to handle potential downfalls can be a piece of cake.

Japan has had a huge impact on the American automotive landscape. Not just by the increased ownership of Japanese cars, there are plants in America and lots of Japanese cars have gained popularity in the U.S. due to films such as The Fast and The Furious series. Needless to say, Japan has made taking the automotive industry in America by storm.

Here are three ways Japanese Manufacturers have changed America

 

More Jobs for Americans

Many Americans earn a living in Japanese manufacturing plants. Many of them have been operating in the Southern United States for decades. People who are employed working at these plants are making significantly more than minimum wage become loyal to them. It isn’t a shock that the top 6 best selling cars in the US of 2018 were Japanese.

So not only does this boost the local economy with jobs, but it builds brand authority across a foreign company. manufacturers such as Pontiac, Saturn and Oldsmobile have fallen by the waist side, while Honda, Toyota, and Nissan, to name a few, have flourished in America. Tennessee, Georgia, Kentucky, and Texas all have plants and Indiana, Ohio and Mississippi have two.

In other words, there are as many Ford plants in America as all of the Japanese plants combined. And GM isn’t too far ahead but is gradually shutting factories and divisions, while more Japanese factories being built.

 

The Impact on American Racing

NASCAR is a surprising example. of the major American companies have always dominated the landscape of racing. until recently that is. Since joining NASCAR Toyota has recently won 2 Cup Series Championships and plenty of races. Meaning their Camry has bested cars such as Chevy’s Impala and Camaro, Ford’s Fusion and Mustang, and Dodge’s Charger, which doesn’t even compete in NASCAR anymore.

There’s an old saying, “Win on Sunday, Sell on Monday” and it definitely true among racing fans. And regardless of whether you watch racing, the teams that win more races can spend more money on advertising, research and development.

But it doesn’t end there since corporations have more faith in their product when beats the competition at the highest levels of racing.

Honda has their hands in Formula 1 as an engine supplier for Red Bull Racing. In Indy Car Racing, they have been the dominating force for many decades and are the reigning manufacturer’s champion, an honor that belonged Chevrolet for the past 6 seasons. This is all the proof some people need when car shopping. It’s no wonder that Toyota and Honda alone own 25% of the American market.

 

Many Americans Own Japanese Cars

But this doesn’t go both ways. While there are millions of Japanese cars on the roads of America, there are not nearly as many American cars being driven in Japan. The previous two topics might explain why so many Japanese cars are seen in America, but not why it’s so rare to see an American riding around in Japan.

The best way to explain this is quality. Americans aren’t mindlessly buying Japan because the internet tells their good cars, it’s the other way around. There are massive databases of reviews online. Most people want the best value on the most reliable car. It just so happens to be the Japanese vehicles such as the Toyota Camry and the Honda CRV.

Japanese manufacturers have changed the way people view Japanese cars by building more plants, dominating racing, and building quality vehicles. And while America plans on building plants in Japan, It’s doubtful that it will instantly change the landscape right away.
