“Evaluating the Use of RFID Wristbands for Children’s Purchases at Hotel-Sponsored Events” “Security and Privacy Considerations for Implementing an Event Management Platform with RFID Technology: A Comprehensive Report for Padgett-Beale’s IT Governance Board” “Navigating the Legal and Ethical Boundaries of Competitive Intelligence: Protecting Intellectual Property and Preventing Data Exfiltration”
Scenario
The Entertainment Team (ET — part of Resort Operations
at Padgett-Beale, Inc.) is excited about a new event management platform and is
ready to go to contract with the vendor. This platform is a cloud-based service
that provides end-to-end management for events (conferences, concerts,
festivals). The head of Marketing & Media (M&M) is on board and
strongly supports the use of this system. M&M believes that the data
collection and analysis capabilities of the system will prove extremely valuable
for its efforts. Resort Operations (RO) also believes that the technology could
be leveraged to provide additional capabilities for managing participation in
hotel sponsored “kids programs” and related children-only events.
The arm of a hotel guest wearing an RFID band while
sitting poolside
For an additional fee, the event management platform’s
vendor will provide customized Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) bands to
be worn by attendees.
The RFID bands and RFID readers use near-field
communications to identify the wearer and complete the desired transactions
(e.g. record a booth visit, make a purchase, vote for a favorite activity or
performer, etc.).
The RFID bands have unique identifiers embedded in the
band that allow tracking of attendees (admittance, where they go within the
venue, what they “like,” how long they stay in a given location,
etc.).
The RFID bands can also be connected to an attendee’s
credit card or debit card account and then used by the attendee to make
purchases for food, beverages, and souvenirs.
For children, the RFID bands can be paired with a
parent’s band, loaded with allergy information, and have a parent specified
spending limit or spending preauthorization tied to the parent’s credit card
account.
The head of Corporate IT has tentatively given approval
for this outsourcing because it leverages cloud-computing capabilities. IT’s
approval is very important to supporters of this the acquisition because of the
company’s ban on “Shadow IT.” (Only Corporate IT is allowed to issue
contracts for information technology related purchases, acquisitions, and
outsourcing contracts.) Corporate IT also supports a cloud-based platform since
this reduces the amount of infrastructure which IT must support and manage directly.
The project has come to a screeching halt, however, due
to an objection by the Chief Financial Officer. The CFO has asked that the IT
Governance Board investigate this project and obtain more information about the
benefits and risks of using RFID bands linked to an external system which
processes transactions and authorizations of mobile / cashless payments for
goods and services. The CFO is concerned that the company’s PCI Compliance
status may be adversely affected.
The Chief Privacy Officer has also expressed an objection
about this project. The CPO is concerned about the privacy implications of
tracking both movement of individuals and the tracking of their purchasing
behaviors.
The IT Governance Board agreed that the concerns
expressed by two of its members (the CFO and CPO) have merit. The board has
requested an unbiased analysis of the proposed use cases and the security and
privacy issues which could be reasonably expected to arise.
The IT Governance Board has also agreed to a request from
the Chief of Staff that the management interns be allowed to participate in
this analysis as their final project. Per the agreement, their involvement will
be limited to providing background research into the defined use cases for
cashless purchases.

“The Treaty of Troyes: A Historic Accord to End the Hundred Years’ War” Title: The Treaty of Troyes: Reinvigorating the Hundred Years’ War and the Dauphin’s Cause The Treaty of Troyes, signed in 1420, was a significant event in the Hundred Years’ War between England
1-Create a 350 to 400 word article disccussion post on the following: Treaty of Troyes and use the following article to write the post:
Treaty of Troyes: Hundred Years’ War
General Resources – Reference Articles
Concluded in May 1420 at Troyes, a town on the Seine in northeastern France, the Treaty of Troyes was a historic Anglo-French accord whereby Henry V of England became regent and heir to the throne of France. By creating the prospect of a dual monarchy within the English House of Plantagenet, the treaty promised an end to both the Hundred Years’ War and the French Civil War.
In the spring of 1418, John the Fearless, Duke of Burgundy, recaptured Paris, driving out Dauphin Charles and his Armagnac supporters and regaining custody of Charles VI. Since the English victory at Agincourt in 1415, the civil war between Burgundians and Armagnacs had divided the French nobiility. In September 1419, during the Montereau Conference to discuss reconciliation, the dauphin’s men murdered John, thereby thrusting Philip III (“the Good”), the new duke of Burgundy, into firm alliance with England and allowing Henry to denounce the dauphin as unfit to inherit the Crown of France.
On December 2, after a month of negotiations with the English, Philip announced his willingness to recognize Henry as Charles’s rightful heir. Although ambivalent about the prospect of English rule, Philip found it preferable to acknowledging his father’s murderer as king. In January 1420, Henry dispatched representatives to the French court in Troyes and authorized them to draft a formal agreement. This document was ready by early May, when all parties agreed to meet in Troyes to ratify the treaty.
Largely dictated by Henry, the terms of the agreement called for his marriage to Charles’s daughter, Catherine of Valois, whom Henry took without a dowry; his recognition as Charles’s heir in place of the dauphin, who was thereby disinherited; and his exercise of the French regency until Charles’s death. The treaty envisaged a union of Crowns, a dual monarchy, not a union of kingdoms. France and England would retain separate administrations, laws, and institutions, but the dispute over the French Crown and over the status of English territories in France would be resolved—the king of England and his heirs would rule all.
On May 20, Philip met Henry outside Troyes and conducted him to a meeting with Charles, his wife Queen Isabella of Bavaria, and their daughter Catherine. Next day, Henry arrived at St. Peter’s Cathedral in Troyes with a party of about 400. Isabella and Philip, acting as deputies for Charles, who was too ill to attend, led a French party of similar size. The text of the treaty was read at the high altar, each party giving assent thereto, and the seals of each king were affixed to the document, with Henry employing the seal Edward III had used to ratify the Treaty of Brétigny 60 years earlier. Led by Philip, the nobles present swore to uphold the treaty (that is, to recognize Henry as heir to the throne) and to obey Henry as regent. Peace between the two realms was then officially proclaimed in both French and English. Next, Henry and Catherine were solemnly betrothed, with the wedding ceremony following on June 2 at the Church of St. John in Troyes.
The treaty was widely if not enthusiastically accepted in Paris and most of the English and Burgundian regions of northern France, where war weariness and economic distress made the conclusion of peace, on whatever terms, a welcome prospect. However, in most of the realm south of the Loire, loyalty to the dauphin was equally widespread, if often equally unenthusiastic, and the treaty was repudiated there as a settlement forced upon a captive king. How well the treaty would have worked is hard to say, for, to everyone’s surprise, Henry predeceased his father-in-law, dying at the end of August 1422. When Charles VI died in the following October, the Treaty of Troyes made a nine-month-old infant, Henry VI, ruler of both kingdoms, a circumstance that reinvigorated both the war and the dauphin’s cause.
