Journal Assignment Four - Software Bug

I decided to write about a software glitch in Toyota Prius hybrid because it displays how software runs all types of mechanics, including vehicles. The Toyota Prius had a software glitch that made the car stall while going at high speeds. Not only do we have to test our software for the security of data but for the security of people. Since computers are running on more products, we have to put more testing into the product for the safety of people.

With this mention, Toyota met the NIST 800-14 principle. The principle stating that organization must have security responsibilities outside their own organization. Toyota met customer satisfaction by giving free towing to customers who were stranded on the road at any time and of course, free software upgrades to all customers who came to a Toyota dealership.
