Abomhara, M., & Koien, G.M. (2015). Cyber security and the internet of things: Vulnerabilities, threats, intruders, and attacks. Journal of Cyber Security, 4, 65-88. Doi: 10.13052/jcsm2245-1439.414

Address the following:

  • What did the authors investigate, and in general how did they do so?
  • Identify the hypothesis or question being tested
  • Summarize the overall article.
  • Identify the conclusions of the authors
  • Indicate whether or not you think the data support their conclusions/hypothesis
  • Consider alternative explanations for the results
  • Provide any additional comments pertaining to other approaches to testing their hypothesis (logical follow-up studies to build on, confirm or refute the conclusions)
  • The relevance or importance of the study
  • The appropriateness of the experimental design

When you write your evaluation, be brief and concise, this is not meant to be an essay but an objective evaluation that one can read very easily and quickly. Also, you should include a complete reference (title, authors, journal, issue, pages) you turn in your evaluation. 

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

  • Be approximately four to six pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.
  • Follow APA 7 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.
  • Support your answers with the readings from the course and at least two scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook.
  • Be clearly and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing.

700words: organizational culture and leadership

After reading the reference documents attached, 

  1. Discuss what power in the context of leadership is and how it relates to bullying within organizations.  Also note how this impacts productivity.
  2. Discuss what organizational culture is and how it impacts work productivity.  Also, note how organizational culture impacts the success of innovation implementation.
  3. How does culture impact leadership? Can culture be seen as a constraint on leadership?

Security Policy Plan

 

This is a two-part deliverable using MS Word and MS Project, or their open source equivalents. This assignment focuses on information as an asset and logical security techniques for a hypothetical law firm. The goal of this deliverable is to secure an information security policy, suggesting the fundamental guidelines should an untoward event occur. It can be seen that information assets security management can be reduced down to three basic principles: integrity, confidentiality, and availability. Structure a policy around and within computers and associated equipment, as well as the people using it. Note: You may create or make all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of this assignment.

Submission Requirements

 

Write a 3–5 page paper in which you:

  • Create a cybersecurity policy describing the principle, the objective, and policy statement for the law firm’s company network.
  • Describe the roles and responsibilities by groups (e.g., position director of network security, the network security manager, network security engineers, IT area), defining roles and responsibilities.
  • Suggest the cybersecurity policy statement, an explanation of the policy statement, and the reasons why the policy statement may be controversial.
  • Determine the security testing methodology you would use to facilitate the assessment of technical controls.
Section 2

Complete the following:

  • Use Microsoft Project, or an open source alternative such as OpenProj, to create a security project plan for the law firm. The project plan should include:
    • Tasks, subtasks, resources, and predecessors.
    • An outline of the planning, analysis, design, and implementation phases.
    • The use of cybersecurity in the information systems development life cycle.

Demonstrating the Gap

Proper network design provides for compliant security, not only isolating users and their traffic, but also preventing attackers from easily traversing a network.

Using Microsoft Visio or another online network diagramming tool, diagram the network that was analyzed in the Topic 1 “Quantify the System” assignment.

Then, create a diagram for a better approach for compliance, based on one of the following frameworks: PCI, HIPAA, NIST, or any other accepted framework.

Ideally, the network will be an Enterprise class consisting of 1000+ clients for various corporate departments, with 50-100 servers providing typical network services. The network infrastructure will be using Layer 3 switches and layered routing to provide separation of subnets.

Your diagram, at a minimum, should include the following secure network design elements: Firewalls, IDS/IPS, DMZ, Vlans, Border and Gateway routers, private IP addressing, Isolated Server Subnets, Network Access Control, and VPN concentrator.

APA style is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

Refer to “Demonstrating the Gap Scoring Guide,” prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

Also, I don’t except to see 50-100 servers on your diagram. However, your diagram, at a minimum, should include the following secure network design elements: Firewalls, IDS/IPS, DMZ, Vlans, Border and Gateway routers, private IP addressing, Isolated Server Subnets, Network Access Control, and VPN concentrator.

This is an assignment that many students forget to label or include what is required. That said, I want everyone to do their best and get the best possible grade.

VPNs

  • Explain some of the security risks associated with VPNs.
  • Describe how organizations can mitigate these risks.
  • Determine the effect of penetration testing and any applicable laws on VPNs.
