*Welcome to Padgett-Beale and your first week as a management intern.
Before you begin working on this discussion paper, please make sure that you have read the Week 1 readings!

*Each intern has been asked to write and bring a discussion paper containing their written responses to the following questions:
*State why you agree with the author's assertions regarding seasonal employees and cybersecurity risks in the work place? Why?
*What steps can (should) managers take to reduce security risks associated with hiring seasonal or temporary employees? (Consider whether or not the Secure Computer User training course would be appropriate for these employees.)
*How can managers show leadership in the area of cybersecurity defenses and best practices?
*As you write your response, remember to provide examples from the article and other readings for this week. Explain why you agree and provide examples, if appropriate. Your examples should be relevant to the hospitality industry and hotel operations. Consider the ways in which these types of companies are likely to use seasonal employees and the types of digital assets / information to which these temporary employees may have access.

Include information from the Week 1 readings to support your responses / arguments. Remember to cite your sources using a consistent and professional style (APA recommended but not required).
