In this information age, every sector depends on information technology for safe storage and transmission of information. Importance of management information systems (MIS) course taught me many skills; one of them is problem-solving skills. This paper explains how I will use such skills toward increasing success in my career in a real-world scenario as an account manager in the finance field.
Reputation is significant to any business organizations. Thus, businesses need to protect their data to keep this and ensure they do not become vulnerable to hackers or information falling into the wrong hands. Therefore, to increase success in my career, I will work together with the technical staff in designing and implementation of cybersecurity plans to protect the financial statements and other information related to finance. The design will focus on three essential issues. Prevention measures which deal with the identification of the solutions, procedures and policies that would minimize or eliminate the risks of attacks.
Another aspect is the resolution. The resolution focuses on remedies if a security breach occurs. The significance of this plan is to avoid confusion when such cases arise. The last issue is restitution which will hand the repercussion of the breach that affects the firm, customers, and staff. Thus, the importance of the whole plan is to ensure information safety of a firm. Other activities that I will undertake include changing default passwords in my department whenever it is deemed necessary, pushing for computer software systems updates, and backing up data to enable recovery in case of data loss. In summary, problem-solving skills learned in the MIS course will improve my efficiency as accountant manager by taking of threats to information and data loss.
