INTRODUCTION
Professionalism is known as a formal work of conduct which helps in the better functioning of
the business and this can also impact in the career of any individual. Being professional in the
business is important for maintaining the decorum of the business and this also helps in building
a positive environment in the business. As there are many characteristics for being professional
in the business for the better performance of the business and the individual in the business. AS
this report is basically a professional reflection on the strategies which is related to the
cybersecurity and which is performed and delivered for the better functioning of training and this
can also help the employees for the reduction of the rate in cybercrimes. As Cybercrime is the
important part to be considered in a business as this is against the growing changes for cyber-
attack. As by protecting the employees form this threat can improve the security of the team
members and this can also help in enhancing the performance level of the business. These can be
reduced by training and development of the employees.

TASK
Reflective practice
As on the organisational context I was facing the issues regarding cybercrimes and it is important
to control in an organisation for the better an effective environment of business as cyber security
is important to be imposed in the business as this helps in the better protection with the
unauthorized data and the networks and technologies presented in the business. As per my
observation there are basically three fundamentals as these are viability, integrity and
confidentiality(Kimani, Oduol, and Langat, 2019). As organisation is requires to provide the best
security to their employees and this can result helpful and also helps in attaining the
organisational aims and objectives of business as in an organisation their various kind of cyber
crimes which is faced by the employees and this can also impact in decreasing the customer base
of the business and this can also impact in the revenue growth of the business. As there are
various breaches which can impact in the business and this can also see on the way of data loss,
leaking and hacking of the data of the clients in the clients in a business as this is considered as
the basic and on going issue in the business which is impacting in the profit of business.
Gibbs Reflective cycle
As this is the model which I usually prefer to use for the organisational problems which is related
to the cyber crimes occurring in business as this model is considered as the better way of
working in an experience as there are various situation which can be applied for managing and
analysing the experience as there are various stages which is involved in this model and this has
helped me in dealing with various situations in the organisations(Nayyar, Jain, and Singh, 2019).
As these stages are description as it is the cybercrime issue which is facing by the team members
of the business and next stage is feeling as the employees are not feeling secure with there job by
seeing the increasing cybercrimes in the business as it is increasing in high rates and they are not
unable to manage effectively. As evaluation is the next stage of this model as this involves all the
experience which is collected for the final decision and observation as the majority has resulted
bad for this issue in the business and assisted for the new strategy for the better understanding of
this issue. Next stage is analysation as this is a step in which all the situation make sense for the
better analysation of the issue. After this conclusion is made of the things learned and the
changes made regarding the issues which can impact in the action plan of the business so that

these issues and situations so that they can not face the same issue again and this also help in
managing the business operations and the functions effectively and this model can also make
changes in the business and this can be done in these stages and this can also solve the issue
regarding cybercrimes in the business(Barreto, and Amaral, 2018, September)

Critical discussion of challenges encountered in the construction of each section of the
proposal.
As with the research I found many challenges in organisation regarding cyber crimes as this has
created a major issue for the organisation. As an business is required to be crime free for the
better and this creates an issue in creating various problems in the business(Kaberuka, and
Johnson, 2020, June). As there are various role of cyber crimes as it is required to have proper
training for the employees to prevent the issue of cyber crime as this is being a problem to the
employees of the business and this also attacks all the confidential information of the business as

on the basis if external and internal related information in the information technology as this is
also impacting in the reputation of the business and for this training and development program is
launched for the better and effective formation of the resources and this can also secure the
business from the attacks and the data breaches and this also impacts in the cybersecurity of the
business and this also creates an bad environment and this is also giving an bad experience to the
customers as this can also impact in the information technology as this can occur an stolen
information and also creates an issue for the unauthorized data as this is also impacting in the
business operations and functions and this is also effecting the profitability and productibility
level of business(Culot, Fattori, and Sartor, 2019). The influenced performance can be in the form
of development and management of business. As in an organisation I had faced many issue
regarding the cybercrimes problems facing by the employees of the business and this is also
impacting in the performance of the employees and this is also leading in the decreased level of
productivity(Carnovale, and Yeniyurt, 2021).
Critical discussion of your interaction and use of support supervisors/ peers and tutors.
As per the research topic I had observed that all the support and analysed as per the support of
the tutors in the business as this is considered as the important topic which is required to take
into consideration and this can be done by top management and it is proceeded by analysing all
the current issues of the organisation in the meeting as this can also helps in attaining the
organisational goals and objectives effectively by giving training to the employees and this is
also imposed with the meeting with top management and in this it involves all the source of
knowledge and motivation to the employees and as tutors are most helpful and this is created a
proposal for the better maintains and this also helps in developing the changes in the organisation
and in between team members in an effective manner as because of this issue facing by the
employees effecting by cyber crimes and this can be done by proper training and development
program and this can also be resolved by using various strategies which can help in reducing the
rate of the cyber crime in the business as the training of the employees will let them know about
the IT vulnerabilities and the regarding risk as this can impact in reducing the rate of cyber crime
in the business and this can be provided on online which will be more convenient to the
customers and for the better management as by training session and the development it also helps
in encouraging all the standards and this also helps in strengthening all the framework in the

business and this also creates an mechanism for protecting the society and also the confidential
information regarding the same and this can also protect the employees from the threat. As in an
organisation it is important to manage all the activities according for the better functioning of the
business operations and this can also help in strengthening the standard of the business and by
training system of the employees helps in securing the ecosystem of the business and this also
strengthens the framework of the business(Idrissi, Mezrioui, and Belmekki, 2019, October). As it is
important to have an story cyber system of eco in the business for developing the better structure
and this can also helps in the authentication, automation and interoperability of the business
effectively(Arora, Manglani, and Choudhary, 2022, March).
Critical discussion of skills required for the successful construction of the proposal.
As there are various skills which is required for making the cyber security training session to the
employees for the better development and progress and knowledge to the employees(Thakur,
Hayajneh, and Tseng, 2019). As risk assessment is the first skills which is important to be in the
top management for the better results of the skills and management in the business as it is
important the decide the matter and methods which is required for analysing the issue and this
can also result helpful in finding the trouble as this skill basically analyses all the skill set
regarding this issue in identifying and prioritizing the defence system and this can also solve the
risk of the business and can also resolve this in an proactive and effective manner for the better
adjustment of the issue(Mandal, Sabitha, and Mehrotra, 2022). As Linux server administration is
also the skill as this also help in the familiarizing the issue regarding the cyber issue of the
business as this is basically the skill set of framework which helps in the better understanding
and this also helps in adapting the employees of the business as by this skill set they can easily
scan there network and also helps in operating the system of the business effectively and this is
an important skill which can be modified according to the issue and this can also make the
professional working on the cybersecurity tool(Yu, and Guo, 2019, August).
Critical discussion of lessons learnt from the process and strategies to adopt to move
forward.
As by implementing the above strategies and the process of the cybersecurity I have learned that
this could helps in the better functioning of the business operations and the functions which can

helps in increasing the level of profitability and productibility of the business and this can also
help in operating the functions and protections easily and this can also be done by strategy name
Waracle ltd. As there are various options which can be applied as a solution as this also helps in
ensuring the risk of the business as this eliminates the threat of the business and this can also
increase in the potential output of the business as this can be done by focussing on the skill set
which can solve the issue as this can also prevent the sensitive information as this can also helps
in preventing all the tracking and snooping all the employee data as this can also increase the
brand reputation(Suryotrisongko, and Musashi, 2019, November).
