Residency Project 3 – Governance and Strategic Planning for Security

Strategic planning and corporate responsibility are best accomplished using an approach industry refers to as governance, risk management, and compliance (GRC). GRC seeks to integrate these three, previously separate responsibilities into one holistic approach that can provide sound executive-level strategic planning and management of the InfoSec function.

Governance is the set of responsibilities and practices exercised by the board and executive management with the goal of providing strategic direction, ensuring that objectives are achieved, ascertaining that risks are managed appropriately, and verifying that the enterprise’s resources are used responsibly.

Strategic planning is the process of defining and specifying the long-term direction (strategy) to be taken by an organization, and the allocation and acquisition of resources needed to pursue this effort.

For this project, using https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/computer-science/security-governanceLinks to an external site. and https://securityintelligence.com/the-importance-of-building-an-information-security-strategic-plan/Links to an external site. , prepare a 2-3 page paper (not counting your title page and references page) that addresses the following:

(a) Indicate in detail, what is InfoSec Governance?

(b) Indicate in detail, what is the importance of building an information security strategic plan?

Database management systems are key element of information technology systems that are used on a day-to-day basis by many organizations. The keys to using a database management system are to collect the necessary requirements for the database, translate these requirements into a database design, create the database from the design, load data into the database, and finally to perform manipulations of the database. The purpose of this final assignment is to ensure that you understand and can carry out the necessary tasks in order to manage a sample database.

From a high-level standpoint, this final project consists of the following steps:

1. Selection of a database.

2. Identifying the requirements for the database based on the purpose for the database and the data to fill the database.

3. Create a database design based on the requirements for the database, create the physical database, and load data into the database.

4. After loading the database, carry out sample queries that would be performed on the actual database. Show the results of the sample queries.

This project will consist of a series of steps defined in the prompts of the assignment. Some of the prompts are necessary to properly prepare for the manipulation of the database whereas others will be necessary for you to complete to demonstrate your competence with the concepts of this topic. The answers to these prompts will be examined against the actual expected answers to the prompt. All prompts that will be assessed against a answer key, meaning that you will get either full, partial, or no points per prompt.

This week’s written activity is a three-part activity. You will respond to three separate prompts but prepare your paper as one research paper.

Start your paper with an introductory paragraph.

Prompt 1 “Data Warehouse Architecture” (2-3 pages): Explain the major components of a data warehouse architecture, including the various forms of data transformations needed to prepare data for a data warehouse. Also, describe in your own words current key trends in data warehousing. 

Prompt 2 “Big Data” (2-3 pages): Describe your understanding of big data and give an example of how you’ve seen big data used either personally or professionally. In your view, what demands is big data placing on organizations and data management technology? 

Prompt 3 “Green Computing” (2-3 pages):  The need for green computing is becoming more obvious considering the amount of power needed to drive our computers, servers, routers, switches, and data centers. Discuss ways in which organizations can make their data centers “green”. In your discussion, find an example of an organization that has already implemented IT green computing strategies successfully. Discuss that organization and share your link.

Conclude your paper with a detailed conclusion section. 

The paper needs to be approximately 7-10 pages long, including both a title page and a references page (for a total of 9-12 pages). 

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

• Be approximately seven to ten pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.

• Follow APA7 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, the course textbook, and at least three scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook. 

 Enterprise Models 

Explain why each metric will help the business or IT department determine success and can improve business decision-making in the long term. 

Analyze, design, and document a simple program that utilizes a good design process and

incorporates sequential, selection and repetitive programming statements as well as at least one

function call and the use of at least one array. The specific problem you need to solve for the final

2. Use meaningful names for variables
3. If there are two words in the variable use first word lowercase and first letter of second wordupper case i.e., firstName or underscore between 2 words i.e first_name
4. Include appropriate comments in the code
5. Output should be displayed exactly as mentioned against each problem
6. Indent the lines of code appropriately

1.numeric.py  (20 Points)

Write a program that prompts the User to enter a number between the range of 1 through 10. The program should display the Roman Numeral version of that number. If the number is outside the the range of 1 through 10, the program should display the error message. The output should display the data in table as shown below:

Hints:

Prompt user to enter a number.

Use a ‘if /elif’ to verify if the number entered is within the range and display output accordingly. 

If the number is out of range, display the following error message : ”Error: Invalid Number’.

Output should look like:

Number                   Roman Numeral

1                                 I

1. dollar.py   (30 Points)

Write a program that finds number of Dollars, quarters, dimes, nickels, pennies given an amount.

Hints:

              Prompt user to enter an amount

              Find number of one dollars (remember to convert total amounts to pennies)  

              Find number of quarters in the remaining amount

              Find number of dimes in the remaining amount

              Find number of nickels in the remaining amount

              Find number of pennies in the remaining amount

              Display results

Expected Output:

Your amount 10.63 consists of

               10 dollars

               2 quarters

               1 dimes

               0 nickels

               3 pennies

3. dates.py   (20 Points)

Design a program that asks the user to enter a month (in numeric form), a day, and a 2 digit year. The program should then determine whether the month * day is equal to the year. If so, it should display a message saying the date is magic. Otherwise, it should display a message saying the date not magic.

Hint:

Prompt user to the month, day, and year in two digit format

Verify the month input if it is between 1 and 12. Display error message otherwise.

Verify the day input if it is between 1 and 31. Display error message otherwise.

Verify the year input if it is between 0 and 99. Display error message otherwise.

If the inputs are valid, evaluate the magic date.

Expected output: 

If user enters a month as 7, day as 3, year as 21, the it should display as follows:

The date is  7 / 3 / 21
This is a magic date.

4. leapYear.py (30)

Write a program that asks the User to enter a year. The program should display the number of days in February that year. Use the following criteria to identify leap years: 

   1. Determine whether the year is divisible by 100.  If it is, then it is a leap year and if only if it is also divisible            by 400. For example,        

        2000 is a leap year but 2100 is not.

    2. If the year is not divisible by 100, then it is a leap year and if only if it is also divisible by 4. For example, 

         2008 is a leap year but 2009 is not.

Hints:

              Prompt user to enter a year

             Use nested if to verify if the year is divisible by both 100 & 400

                  determine if the leap year is ‘True or False’

            Use Else to o verify if the year is divisible by 4  (if year %4 == 0: )

                  determine if the leap year is ‘True or False’

             Now use IF and Else to print if the year entered is a leap year or not.

Output

If entered 2008, the output should display: That is a leap year. February has 29 days.

If entered 2009, the output should display:  That is not a leap year. February has 28 days.
