Fundamentals of Business Research Session 6 Validity and Reliability Content Validity Content validity focuses on the examination of the relevancy of the research tool in the study (Bell, Bryman, & Harley, 2018). The findings of my survey depict that the device incorporated throughout the analysis process was significant in the research. I utilized a questionnaire that was essential in identifying particular experiences that individuals encounter when engaging in home business. Besides, the instrument was vital in obtaining first-hand information from respondents rather than making generalizations. Criterion Related Validity The activity involves examining the correspondence of various assessments in research (Hair, 2015). I can predict the outcomes for establishing home businesses using the primary findings of my current study. For instance, the first and second respondents depicted positivity in online ventures. Many people can engage in-home businesses and thrive based on the survey results. The participants have significant knowledge in participating in online ventures because they have experience in connecting with digital agents and incorporating technology.

ETHICAL HACKING AND PENETRATION TESTING Introduction Penetration testing and ethical hacking are applied means of analysis or testing web applications by executing attacks which are allied to a factual attack that might transpire on a particular day. They are performed in a meticulous tactic to find as numerous security faults as imaginable and to offer a response on exactly how to alleviate the threats posed by such imperfections. However, security-conscious organizations have instigated incorporated penetration testing, susceptibility assessments, and source encryption appraisals in their software progress sequence. Thus, once they release an innovative or new application, it has previously been over several phases of analysis and remediation.  Consequently, organizations undertake penetration trials to reinforce their company protection systems, all processor structures, and accompanying the Information Technology substructure. Moreover, penetration tests aid organizations in advancing their cybersecurity. They ought to thus be conducted on an even basis since cyber delinquents continually search for new feeble points of emergent systems, packages, and applications (Bertoglio & Zorzo, 2017). Additionally, these tests might not offer complete security solutions for the organization, but meaningfully minimalize…
