Reflective learning
In this weeks lecture we discussed the safety and security measurements taken to protect the information systems of a business. We also discussed how there can be external threats  to the business rather than just internal threats and some of these examples were natural disasters such as floods, or just power outages. This will be more disadvantageous towards companies that rely more heavily on IT systems to store their data and information. We found out that the most common crimes were by hackers who have unauthorised access to the data or even from the employees themselves that work within the business. There were also definitions of different viruses and other spam in computers at the business and how they differed from each other.

Seminar
The seminar work concluded of more functions that we could use on Microsoft Excel to save time typing out the data in each individual cell and we put it to practice in some business data tables. We focused on a cash flow of a business once again
