Write a C++ program that asks the user for the number girl scouts in their troop and the number of weeks they sold boxes of cookies.The program should collect the following information using nested for loops:•The first name of each girl scout.•The number of boxes of cookies sold each week by each girl scout.The program should calculate and display the following information:•The total boxes of cookies sold by each girl scout.•The total boxes of cookies sold by the entire troop.•The average boxes sold per week by the troop.•The name of the girl scout who sold the most cookies.Cookie Counter ProgramLab 7 –More LoopingSample Program Output on the next page.Make sure to include the following input validation:•Validate that the number of girl scouts is greater than zero.•Validate that the number of weeks sold is greater than zero.•Display an error message if either condition above occurs.

Conduct your own social engineering experiments.1) While at a restaurant, convenience store, bank, place of business, or any shopping location, ask you waiter or waitress, bartender, server, sales clerk, or cashier personal questions about their family or their interests.How much information are you able to obtain about this person you do not know?Name, address, age, religion, political beliefs, place of birth, pets, hobbies, number of children, type of car they drive, or any other information you think you can obtain.Write your findings in either a list or in paragraph form. 

It is time to complete your sales tracker application. Your marketing department would like the current dollar amount of goods sold this year to be calculated. Total of the goods sold is the combined total of supplies, services, and paper sold, for all sales accounts. This information will be used to promote the success of the company.
Your application needs to be modified to allow all sales personnel to enter their sales data.
For each sales personnel in the company, complete the following:
F1: Accept a sales person’s entry for the dollar amount of office supplies sold, books sold, and apparel sold.
The sum of these three categories will be the total of their supplies sold.
F2: Accept a sales person’s entry for the number of hours of service hours sold and rate per hour.
F3: Accept a sales person’s entry for the number of pounds of paper sold and the price per pound.
Displays the total current sales to date in all 3 categories for the sales person: supplies, books, and paper.
Modify the application to display the total aggregate sales for all sales personnel combined.
Example: Total sales for 2010: $12,500,552
Your application will use the Accounts inheritance hierarchy designed previously to compute the total of goods sold.
There are three types of sales accounts that track sales for your company:
Supplies
Services
Paper.
Each has their own formula for computing the current sales:
Supplies = office supplies sold dollar amount + books sold dollar amount + apparel sold dollar amount
Services = number of hours * rate per hour
Paper = number of pounds * price per pound

Scenario

You are an information technology (IT) intern working for Health Network, Inc. (Health Network), a fictitious health services organization headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Health Network has over 600 employees throughout the organization and generates $500 million USD in annual revenue. The company has two additional locations in Portland, Oregon and Arlington, Virginia, which support a mix of corporate operations. Each corporate facility is located near a co-location data center, where production systems are located and managed by third-party data center hosting vendors. 

Company Products 

Health Network has three main products: HNetExchange, HNetPay, and HNetConnect.

HNetExchange is the primary source of revenue for the company. The service handles secure electronic medical messages that originate from its customers, such as large hospitals, which are then routed to receiving customers such as clinics.

HNetPay is a Web portal used by many of the company’s HNetExchange customers to support the management of secure payments and billing. The HNetPay Web portal, hosted at Health Network production sites, accepts various forms of payments and interacts with credit-card processing organizations much like a Web commerce shopping cart.

HNetConnect is an online directory that lists doctors, clinics, and other medical facilities to allow Health Network customers to find the right type of care at the right locations. It contains doctors’ personal information, work addresses, medical certifications, and types of services that the doctors and clinics offer. Doctors are given credentials and are able to update the information in their profile. Health Network customers, which are the hospitals and clinics, connect to all three of the company’s products using HTTPS connections. Doctors and potential patients are able to make payments and update their profiles using Internet-accessible HTTPS Web sites.

Information Technology Infrastructure Overview

Health Network operates in three production data centers that provide high availability across the company’s products. The data centers host about 1,000 production servers, and Health Network maintains 650 corporate laptops and company-issued mobile devices for its employees.

Threats Identified

Upon review of the current risk management plan, the following threats were identified:

· Loss of company data due to hardware being removed from production systems

· Loss of company information on lost or stolen company-owned assets, such as mobile devices and laptops

· Loss of customers due to production outages caused by various events, such as natural disasters, change management, unstable software, and so on

· Internet threats due to company products being accessible on the Internet

· Insider threats

· Changes in regulatory landscape that may impact operations 

Management Request

Senior management at Health Network has determined that the existing risk management plan for the organization is out of date and a new risk management plan must be developed. Because of the importance of risk management to the organization, senior management is committed to and supportive of the project to develop a new plan. You have been assigned to develop this new plan.

Additional threats other than those described previously may be discovered when re-evaluating the current threat landscape during the risk assessment phase.

The budget for this project has not been defined due to senior management’s desire to react to any and all material risks that are identified within the new plan. Given the company’s annual revenue, reasonable expectations can be determined.

All project submissions should follow this format:

• Format: Microsoft Word or compatible
• Font: Arial, 10-point,      double-space
