 Our IoT definition: a network of connected devices with 1) unique identifiers in the form of an IP address which 2) have embedded technologies or are equipped with technologies that enable them to sense, gather data and communicate about the environment in which they reside and/or themselves. 

Features of IOT

The most important features of IoT on which it works are connectivity, analyzing, integrating, active engagement, and many more. Some of them are listed below:

Connectivity: Connectivity refers to establish a proper connection between all the things of IoT to IoT platform it may be server or cloud. After connecting the IoT devices, it needs a high speed messaging between the devices and cloud to enable reliable, secure and bi-directional communication.

Analyzing: After connecting all the relevant things, it comes to real-time analyzing the data collected and use them to build effective business intelligence. If we have a good insight into data gathered from all these things, then we call our system has a smart system.

Integrating: IoT integrating the various models to improve the user experience as well.

Artificial Intelligence: IoT makes things smart and enhances life through the use of data. For example, if we have a coffee machine whose beans have going to end, then the coffee machine itself order the coffee beans of your choice from the retailer.

Sensing: The sensor devices used in IoT technologies detect and measure any change in the environment and report on their status. IoT technology brings passive networks to active networks. Without sensors, there could not hold an effective or true IoT environment.

Active Engagement: IoT makes the connected technology, product, or services to active engagement between each other.

Endpoint Management: It is important to be the endpoint management of all the IoT system otherwise, it makes the complete failure of the system. For example, if a coffee machine itself order the coffee beans when it goes to end but what happens when it orders the beans from a retailer and we are not present at home for a few days, it leads to the failure of the IoT system. So, there must be a need for endpoint management.

Preamble

An organization chief executive officer (CEO) was suspected of fraud, and digital forensic investigators were assigned to acquire a forensic duplicate of his laptop without his knowledge, and his laptop was configured with full disk encryption. 

Restrain 

The best option was to shut down the laptop, create a forensic duplicate of the hard drive, and decrypt the hard drive using an administrative decryption key. Notably, investigators had insufficient time for such laid down approach. 

Plan of Action

The forensic duplicate of the data must be acquired from the live laptop while the system was left running in the chief executive Officer’s unit. The CEO was called out for an interview germane to the suspected fraud charges. The digital forensic investigators were then, able to interact with the CEO’s laptop, made changes to the system, acquire vital data on the laptop hard drive in an unencrypted format, including deleted data. 

Lack of Decorum 

During the acquisition process, digital investigators documented findings and enabled unauthorized access to concluding evidence. It must be recognized and acknowledged that the fundamental principle for handling forensic investigation in the most unstable environment, such as the CEO’s office, is not a smooth sailing event. Also, forensic investigators must be incredibly careful not to violate any laws and give rise to liability.

Answer All Questions (1:1 – 1:6)

Question 1:1 Do you, as an investigator, believe that forensic investigators charged with the case vehemently violated the laws and rise to liability?

Question 1:2 Do you, as an investigator, have confidence and willing to support digital forensic investigator’s conclusive evidence of this case in court?

Scenario: Try extremely hard to make allowances for forensic investigators’ operation in the most uneven crime scene to avoid breaching the fundamental principle of forensic investigation. 

Question 1:3 Provide a comprehensive plan of action to guide digital forensic investigators in an unbalanced crime scene of this nature. 

Question 1:4 Do you support the option that digital forensic investigators charged with this case should have obtained extra search warrant?

Question 1:5 Describe the Benefits and Drawbacks of Search Warrant on the organization’s Chief Executive Officer in such a given situation.

Question 1:6 Describe the Benefits and Drawbacks of extra Search Warrant on forensic investigators in the same given situation.

Hello,

i need this paper by 12/16 afternoon.

Strictly No plagiarism please use your own words.

300 words

In a few short paragraphs, explain which cloud services you use (Google, Amazon, iCloud, Verizon, Microsoft One, Dropbox, etc) and what type of information you store (docs, photos, music, other files?). How much space do you have and what does this cost per month?

Make sure Strictly No plagiarism content should not match and even the reference should not match in plagiarism 

Part 1

A principal wants to determine if a new ACT preparation program is effective. The data are contained in the schools.sav data file. Open the schools.sav file in SPSS. Use SPSS to determine whether a significant improvement existed between student performance on ACT tests in 1993 (act93) and ACT tests in 1994 (act94). Assume that the same students were involved in 1993 and 1994 testing. (This requires a t-test. Review Chapter 10 of the Green & Salkind text for information on paired t-tests and reporting APA results interpretation and writing.)

Create a report that answers the principal’s question. Write these conclusions in formal APA results format. Include your SPSS output to support your conclusion.

Part 2

A pharmaceutical company wants to determine whether there is a need for a new medication based on the data in the electric.sav file. Specifically, they want to determine whether a person is alive or dead 10 years after a coronary incident and whether that is reflected in a significant difference in the patients’ cholesterol levels (chol58) taken when the event occurred. Use chol58 as a dependent variable and VITAL10 as your independent variable. Complete the following:

• Analyze these conditions to determine whether there is a significant difference between the cholesterol levels (vital10) of those who are alive 10 years later compared to those who died within 10 years.
• Include the SPSS output, which validates your conclusion.
• Write a brief paragraph describing your conclusions.

Refer to Unit 6 in the Green & Salkind text for specific information about SPSS tests and APA results interpretation and writing. Pay attention to the Levene’s test throughout for determining whether the assumption of equal variance was met when you make your final decisions about the analysis.

What conclusion did you reach? Write these conclusions in formal APA results format. Include your SPSS output to support that conclusion.

Part 3

Occasionally, you have 1 independent variable that has 3 or more levels or groups. For a parametric data set, an analysis of variance (ANOVA) is the proper calculation. Use an ANOVA to address the following scenario:

A financial planner is interested in understanding the relationship between the dependent variable of the income level of respondents (rincdol) and the independent variable of their education level (ndegree) from the gss.sav data file. Use SPSS to complete the following:

• Run an ANOVA to determine the overall conclusion.
• Use the Bonferroni correction as a post-hoc analysis to determine the relationship of specific levels of degree level to income.
• Explain the overall conclusions based on the analysis, and describe the relationship(s) between the levels of the degree earned and income.
• Write your conclusion of the findings based upon the output using proper APA formatting.

Submit both the SPSS output file and your Word summary. (Refer to the Green & Salkind section about a one-way ANOVA for information on APA results interpretation and writing.)
