week 6

 In order to prevent common web-based attacks such as cross-site scripting (XSS), Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), and SQL injections, organizations need the right tools to detect and prevent these issues before code goes to production. Both Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) and Static application security testing (SAST) tools are often integrated into an organization’s CI/CD pipeline to scan for vulnerabilities. For this week’s assignment, discuss the differences between DAST and SAST. Include any pros and cons for each type, how organizations can benefit, examples of what issues can be found, and any specific tools in your response. Your assignment should be 2-3 pages in length, with two or more references in APA Format cited in your response.

Research project on k-d trees

K-dimensional trees or k-d trees organize and represent spatial data. These data structures have several applications, particularly in multi-dimensional key searches like nearest neighbor and range searches. Here is how k-d trees operate:

  • Every leaf node of the binary tree is a k-dimensional point
  • Every non-leaf node splits the hyperplane (which is perpendicular to that dimension) into two half-spaces
  • The left subtree of a particular node represents the points to the left of the hyperplane. Similarly, the right subtree of that node denotes the points in the right half.

You can probe one step further and construct a self-balanced k-d tree where each leaf node would have the same distance from the root. Also, you can test it to find whether such balanced trees would prove optimal for a particular kind of application. 

CIS 500 WEEK 8 STATUS REPORT

 

Week 8 Status Report

Discussion 7

Stanford University medical researchers conducted a study on the correlation between the use of fertility drugs and ovarian cancer.  Their study, published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, concludes that the use of the fertility drugs, Pergonal and Serophene, may increase the risk of ovarian cancer by three times.  The lead author of the studies, Professor Alice Whittemore, stated, “Our finding in regard to fertility drugs is by no means certain.  It is based on very small numbers and is really very tenuous.”

FDA Commissioner David Kessler would like the infertility drug manufacturers to disclose the study findings and offer a warning on the drug packages.  He notes, “Even though the epidemiology study is still preliminary, women have a right to know what is known.  We’re not looking to make more of this than there is.”

If you were a manufacturer of one of the drugs, would you voluntarily disclose the study information?
