Learning Objectives and Outcomes

• Create a report documenting various aspects of how risk management impacts the business model.

Scenario

You work for a large, private health care organization that has server, mainframe, and RSA user access. For the third week in a row, Sean comes into your office at 5:00 p.m. on Friday and needs you to write a report describing some of the risks associated with not having all the security items in place. He needs you to research a generic risk management policy template and use that as a starting point to move forward. He also asked you to search for risk outcome examples from organizations similar to theirs.

You realize that your organization does not have much in the way of an information security strategy, and is missing many of what you think are critical components. Your organization is compliant with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and follows other external compliance requirements. 

Assignment Requirements

Research templates, and look for risk outcome examples from organizations of a similar type as your organization. Write a report identifying the risks associated with the current position your organization is in, and how your organization can mitigate risk by using information security systems policies. Include an introduction explaining the following: Who? What? When? Why? Be sure to add a conclusion with a rationale detailing how risks can be mitigated. Reference your research so that Sean may add or refine this report before submission to senior management.

Submission Requirements

• Format: Microsoft Word
• Font: Times New Roman, 12-Point, Double-Space
• Citation Style: Your school’s preferred style guide
• Length: 2–3 pages

1)

This week’s journal articles focus on empowering leadership and effective collaboration in geographically dispersed teams, please answer the following questions:

1. How do geographically dispersed teams collaborate effectively?
2. Please find at least three tools on the market that teams can use to collaborate on a geographically dispersed team.  Please note the pros and cons of each tool. 
3. Based on the research above, note which tool you would select if you were managing the geographically dispersed team and why.

Be sure to use the UC Library for scholarly research. Google Scholar is also a great source for research.  Please be sure that journal articles are peer-reviewed and are published within the last five years.

The paper should meet the following requirements:

• 3-5 pages in length (not including title page or references)
• APA guidelines must be followed.  The paper must include a cover page, an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.
• A minimum of five peer-reviewed journal articles.

The writing should be clear and concise.  Headings should be used to transition thoughts.  Don’t forget that the grade also includes the quality of writing.

2) Choose any two questions  Discussions Initial post (goal: by Weds) + 2 responses (100-300 words). 

 Discussion #1: What is an artificial neural network and for what types of problems can it be used? Discussion #2: Compare artificial and biological neural networks. What aspects of biological networks are not mimicked by artificial ones? What aspects are similar?

 Discussion #3: What are the most common ANN architectures? For what types of problems can they be used?

 Discussion #4: ANN can be used for both supervised and unsupervised learning. Explain how they learn in a supervised mode and in an unsupervised mode. 

Using a web browser,perform some reasearch on a newer malware variant that has been reported by a major malware containment vendor.Using a search engine,go to the vendor’s web site,this could be symantec,McAfee or any of their competitiors.Visit one malware prevention software vendor.Search for the newest malware varianta and pick one.Note its name and try to understand how it works.Now look for information about that same malware from at least one other vendor.were you able to see this malware at both vendors?If so,are there any differences in how they are reported between the two vendors?

Twitter discussion board

1818 unread replies.1818 replies.

Twittering became virtually an overnight sensation, but some question its usefulness.

Do you want to know the routine activities your friends (or other individuals you choose to follow) are doing during the day?

Do you follow anyone on Twitter or do you tweet regularly?   Why or why not?

Because Twitter updates have to be very short, some may think that twittering on the job does not take up enough time to be a concern, but what about the distraction factor?

Should employers allow employees to use Twitter, Facebook, and other popular online activities during work hours? Why or why not?

The final portfolio project is a three- part activity. You will respond to three separate prompts but prepare your paper as one research paper. Be sure to include at least one UC library source per prompt, in addition to your textbook (which means you’ll have at least 4 sources cited). 

Start your paper with an introductory paragraph.

Prompt 1 “Blockchain” (2-3 pages): Explain the major components of blockchain. Be sure to include how blockchain is affecting a global economy and how you see it growing in the future. 

Prompt 2 “Big Data” (1-2 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?  How does big data affect a global economy.

Prompt 3 “Government and Policies” (1-2 pages):  Discuss the role government plays in a global economy.  Also, look at what policies are currently in place and then discussion what policies should be put in place..

Conclude your paper with a detailed conclusion section. 

The paper needs to be approximately six to eight pages long, including both a title page and a references page (for a total of eight to ten pages). Be sure to use proper APA formatting and citations to avoid plagiarism.

Your paper should meet these requirements: 

• Be approximately six to eight 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. The UC Library is a great place to find resources.
• 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.

I need a runnable full program with output (Assembly 8086)

Select from the following list four (4) topics and discuss. Use only 70-words max per topic to discuss and present your answer. The discussion questions this week are from Chapter 8  (Jamsa, 2013). Chapter 8 topics:

• Define and describe virtualization.
• Defend the following statement: Virtualization is not a new concept within computer science.
• Describe the various types of virtualization.
• List the pros and cons of virtualization.
• Discuss the attributes of applications that are not well suited for virtualization.
• List reasons why companies should virtualize.
• List the benefits of blade servers.
• Define and describe the hypervisor.
• Define and describe green computing.
• Describe the concept of the desktop on-demand, and include the benefits of such a system.

NOTE: You are required to use at least two-peer reviewed sources (besides your textbook) to answer the above questions. 

1Draw the corresponding ERD for the following Employee Database

You will review both quantitative and qualitative research.  The topic is up to you as long as you choose a peer-reviewed, academic research piece.  I suggest choosing a topic that is at least in the same family as your expected dissertation topic so that you can start viewing what is out there.  There are no hard word counts or page requirements as long as you cover the basic guidelines.  You must submit original work, however,  and a paper that returns as a large percentage of copy/paste to other sources will not be accepted.  (Safe Assign will be used to track/monitor your submission for plagiarism. Submissions with a Safe Assign match of more than 25% will not be accepted.) 

Please use APA formatting and include the following information:

• Introduction/Background:  Provide context for the research article.  What led the author(s) to write the piece? What key concepts were explored? Were there weaknesses in prior research that led the author to the current hypothesis or research question?
• Methodology:  Describe how the data was gathered and analyzed.  What research questions or hypotheses were the researcher trying to explore? What statistical analysis was used?
• Study Findings and Results:  What were the major findings from the study? Were there any limitations?
• Conclusions:  Evaluate the article in terms of significance, research methods, readability and the implications of the results.  Does the piece lead into further study? Are there different methods you would have chosen based on what you read? What are the strengths and weaknesses of the article in terms of statistical analysis and application? (This is where a large part of the rubric is covered.) 
• References  

 Locate a dissertation on a Topic related to your Concentration in the ProQuest Library Database at the University of the Cumberlands.  Read the literature review section and provide a one paragraph summary of the literature review – discuss the structure of the literature review and what was achieved with the literature review.  Be sure and provide the reference to the Dissertation and attach a pdf of the dissertation to the discussion. 

 Note: Minimum 300 words not including title and reference page. References should be taken from peer revived
