What is Process Essays (Examples)?

A process essay is fundamentally different from other types of academic writing assignments. In fact, it is closer to technical writing than to other types of academic writing. That is because a process essay describes a process that leads to a specific outcome. There are two approaches to the process essay. The first approach is often referred to as a directional process essay and is the simpler of the two approaches; it describes the steps necessary to complete a task. The second approach to the process essay does more than outline steps, it also analyzes or explains the steps involved in the process. The wording of your assignment will be important when you are trying to determine which approach to take while writing your process essay.

The introduction of your process essay needs to accomplish several things. First, it needs to introduce the process you are going to describe, and give background information about that process, when such information is necessary. Next, it needs to identify your audience. Identifying your audience does not require actually saying the targeted audience for your essay, but, if your reader needs a certain educational, technical, or professional background to understand the essay, then the introduction provides a great opportunity for you to provide that material.

The body of the essay involves your actual descriptions of the process. For simple directional process essays, the body of the essay involves a step-by-step description of each part of the process. For analytical process essays, in addition to outlining the steps you might explain them to the reader or analyze whether the steps are necessary to the process and make the process more efficient, or should be eliminated or changed in order to maximize efficiency and performance.

Finally, the conclusion of your essay will reiterate what you hope to achieve with the process described in the essay. If you have analyzed the process and found it lacking, the conclusion may also describe suggestions for further study or review.

Information security principles and practices

One of the most potent and potentially disruptive threats enterprises face is the use of peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing between various departments and those outside the company, linked via the P2P Service. The devastating impact of having P2P software running on internal workstations, servers and laptops is seen regularly in theft of corporate digital assets, but identity theft of the actual users of these services as well (Bailes, Templeton, 2004). Even the most inexperienced hackers can gain access to private IP addresses using P2P services, which routinely show the full OP address, subnet mask and if the IP address is status, the name of the person and their location (Bailes, Templeton, 2004). This situation has become so pervasive and potentially lethal to intellectual property, the U.S. government now forbids its use in any government-related organization (Swartz, 2007). While departments within companies routinely download these applications and use them for sharing digital assets of imagery, music and applications, it is often at great risk to both the identity of the person doing the downloading the company they are a member of. P2P connections punch a hole in the firewall of a business and make it easy for intruders to gain access to advanced databases and corporate information (Becker, Clement, 2006). Downloading applications for sharing content may appear to be a very inexpensive way to gain access to many different digital assets ranging from images to music and video, the risks it puts companies at is too significant to risk. The intent of this analysis is to provide a Technology Evaluation Matrix to guide your organization through the process of eradicating P2P software and the inherent threats it presents. In addition there are a series of recommendations in the conclusion of this document to resolve the security challenges inherent in having P2P software already installed, in addition to prescriptive guidance for resolving the most major forms of threats.
