According to the definition digital asset it can stated that this are the electronic objects which
consists of a value for a particular reason. This might be crated digitally or might have been
digitalized from a non-digital original source. The digital assets mainly includes the processing
of the documents, database, websites, organizational records and the digital recordings and many
more. Two of the major digital assets that are owned by the students includes the various
software programs which are used by the student in order to complete their assignments like the
Microsoft word, Microsoft Excel and many more and the second one is the electronic devices
where they store their information, videos, pictures and many more. The digital electronics
mainly includes the laptops and other smart devices. The software is generally considered as a
form of code and the deployed services. This type of assets are very much important because
they are associated with helping the students in conducting their daily operations inside the
university. Without the presence of software the working of the students would become much
more difficult.
According to the Bible Ephesians 4:28 “He who steals must steal no longer; but rather he must
labor, performing with his own hands what is good, so that he will have something to share with
one who has need.” The digitals are assets are owned so any usage of the assets without the
consent of the user is considered as a type of theft. Being digital various types of risks are faced
by the assets which includes the tampering of stealing of the dat. Along with this according to the
Leviticus 19:11 “'You shall not steal, nor deal falsely, nor lie to one another.”. One way of

protecting the data is by encryption of the documents created by making use of the software.
Another way of protecting media file present in the laptops is by using of strong passwords.
Other type of security measures are also to be adopted by the students in order to protect

Thank you Mr. Kevin Graham for your letter (Importance of Digital assets for the organization).
The digital assets are associated with providing a lot of benefits which opens up numerous
direction for the employees to work in a proper way. Besides this the digital assets contains
many information which are very vital for the organization as well as for the employees.
The organization should be thinking of more innovative ways to utilize the digital assets and
along with this they should also think of protecting their digital assets like the other companies
are doing in order to protect their assets from any kind of thefts.

Thank you Mr. Matthew Geiser for your letter (Digital Assets and Theft).
The digitals assets of the Liberty University are the logos and the website. This two assets have
been associated with providing service on a regular basis not only for the employees but also for
the students as well. The students have to access the websites every day for all their class
assignments. The security risk is one of the major issue which can affect the overall organization.
The University should think of more ways in order to protect the assets that they are having by
making use of appropriate protocols along with adaptation of other innovative methods.
