The NTEC are separated into two groups and the HNTEC are also separated into two groups.
One of the instructors from school of ICT are also teaching IT for engineering course students because of the lack of IT instructors for their course. School of ICT also has seconded instructors from other school of ICT to teach the NTEC students due to the shortage of instructors.School of ICT are offering courses which are:Program name Duration of programHNTEC in computer networking 2 Years (21 months in school, 3 months attachment)HNTEC in information and library studies HNTEC in information technology NTEC in information technology 1 year (9 months in school, 3 months attachment)About the office furniture used in the school and make recommendations.4038602505710Figure SEQ Figure * ARABIC 1Figure SEQ Figure * ARABIC 140386022397300In the office, the arrangement of furniture (tables and chairs) are not good, causing the office to look crowded and hard to move around.

It is executed by hackers who try to access an individual’s information for their own personal gain.
The effects of cyber threats are sometimes not very obvious and are often very deceiving and misleading.Cyber threats come in many forms and function in different ways. It attacks in the form of malware, phishing, ransomware and many more in the form of virus attacks.In the School of ICT, the cyber threat issues are divided into two parts, Software and Hardware:SoftwareLink securityDirect contact is one way to create a vulnerability in the system such as checking an email from an unknown email or website because the objective is to get the user to click on a link.76962063500077754151769Figure SEQ Figure * ARABIC 13Figure SEQ Figure * ARABIC 13RecommendationBy making sure the security settings for the browser the owner is using is secure from all kinds of unwanted attacks.
Unknown devices4343402761615Figure SEQ Figure * ARABIC 140Figure SEQ Figure * ARABIC 14348333884001400Devices such as a pen drive, external hard disk, memory card and many more can be a threat to a computer because the devices are maybe carrying a virus that can corrupt the software inside, causing many more problems.4350664644600Recommendation Installing a powerful antivirus that can immediately detect and remove unwanted viruses.Old technologyOld devices such as computers are easily attacked by viruses because of the security vulnerability in the windows operating systems. Newer computers may not get this problem but with constant flow of newer, much harder viruses, old and new computers alike may be at risk.RecommendationBy tracking the devices, blocking certain software and applications and by constantly checking for software upgrades. Upgrading the computer is also an ideal solution.HardwareMalfunctionComputer peripherals such as keyboard, mouse, monitor, CPU and projector are prone to malfunction because of the constant use by many users at the school.37985702070100044577020701000449580255905Figure SEQ Figure * ARABIC 150Figure SEQ Figure * ARABIC 15RecommendationSetting up a rule where the computer peripherals must be well cared when in use and by constantly checking the peripherals if its broken or not.
Conclusion:In conclusion, this assignment teaches on how to do the research, providing the students doing the report with enough understanding and knowledge on the school of ICT’s organization and programs. The students also learned about the nature of the existing office and classroom furniture, the effect it has on the ergonomics and to prevent unwanted events and the impact of cyber threats in the computer software and hardware and giving recommendations on how to overcome or to counter the problems that arise. 424116545148500227942845104200Appendices:4754245159893000134366014751050054610143065500left869950034036002413000513875421242500318168140976700308496410389610034073437286001499670912400left942400495681020701000206933121316000499948812245140034937701195705001847750108020200185821189800595574946001889960-14364400References:(For more details, see the eschoolnews’s official website)By earl D. laing (2017) The top 5 cybersecurity threats in schools.
