Explanation / Answer

i believe ipremier company did well during the 75 minutes attack,the situation handled by all parties involved.Mr.leon from the ops performed excellently by bringing to the cio's attention the mater at hand as quick as possible and had to make that drastic decision call the CIO's attention the matter at hand as quick as possible and hand to make the drastic decision to call the cio in the middile of the night.joanne ripley the technical operations leader did great on her side by responding swiftly at that time of the night and heading straight to the colocation facility to find out and try to resolve the

problem.the CEO ,VP of business development the company's CTO all did well by calling in and all bringing in ideas to address and resolve the issue.Even though they handled the matter professionly,there is point that i strongly feel the CIO didn't handle it too well.He is responsible for whatever that happens to company's reputation be it good are bad.At the monment they were not sure if their systems have intruded or if there was some sort os DOS attack.

if i was bob turley i would have ordered that the plug be pulled even if it means losing the data that would help the company figure out what had happened.if the website was hacked,it means customers such as creditcards,social security numbers would have been compromised.i feel pulling the plug would have been a better move in managing the potential risk.the company did not have any emergency procedures or equipment such as binder and proper firewall to help tackle the problem.if the attack had not come a halt on its own,and coupled with a possible intrusion attack,even though it will have its own public relations consequences,which could have been managed

Additional Procedures
