Identifying Your Company and Your Role

Identifying Your Company and Your Role

The company is in the business of selling software. They sell a software product, an application that allows users to input information, and then the application will output the results. Anyone can use the application, but small businesses primarily use it. The company has been around for a while, and they have been growing consistently. Their main products are cloud-based applications, which means they are not limited to one location like other companies (Martini et al., 2018r). This makes it easier for them to provide more services to their customers without moving their office whenever they need to expand their business.

Mountain Tech Motion also sells software that helps people manage their finances better. This includes budgeting, tracking expenses, and credit cards (Camacho et al., 2021). These programs benefit small businesses because they do not have the resources necessary to do all these things themselves; instead, they rely on outside help or even hire an accountant if necessary. They sell these products through a website called “MyMountainTech,” where customers can order them online and have them shipped directly to their homes or office. The company also provides training for people who want to learn how to use their software program to take advantage of all its features. Mountain Tech Motion has other services like web design and development and marketing services (like social media management).

The Cybersecurity Specialist role is a newly created position in this company. The Cybersecurity Specialist will be responsible for managing the cybersecurity program for the company.  My role as a Cybersecurity Specialist in the above company is to ensure that the company's security is at the highest level. This is done by performing regular audits on the entire network and systems and penetration tests (Tüzün et al., 2019). I am also responsible for ensuring that all employees know best practices regarding cyber security. The Cybersecurity Specialist will also need to write policies and procedures for the company's network to define how users can use the web.
