Prepare a short “talking points” paper in which you answer the question: What best practices should Sifers-Grayson follow when establishing a SOCC?

In your talking points, you should address how your selected best practices support the phases of the incident response process (i.e. Incident Detection, Containment, Eradication, & Recovery) and discuss the role of that a Security Operations Center will play in making sure that incidents are handled and reported in an effective and efficient manner.

Your “talking points” should be 3 to 5 paragraphs long (15 – 25 specific bullet points).

Your audience is a group of Sifers-Grayson executives who are reviewing the plans for establishing an internal SOCC. (Outsourcing the SOCC was considered and that option was rejected.)

Provide in-text citations and references for 3 or more authoritative sources. Put the reference list at the end of your article.

Then

Nofsinger Consulting has recommended that Sifers-Grayson invest in an Enterprise Architecture tool to help it document the assets, processes, and network infrastructure that comprise its information enterprise. Based upon past experience with such recommendations, the Nofsinger team knows that it must be prepared for debate amongst the client’s managers and executives as to the relative merits of such tools.

To help your team prepare for the expected debate, you have been asked to write a 3 to 5 paragraph response to the question “Why does Sifers-Grayson need an Enterprise Architecture tool?”

You should focus on the benefits of having a tool that can help guide the creation of an enterprise architecture.

Provide in-text citations and references for 3 or more authoritative sources. Put the reference list at the end of your posting.

Then

You are approaching the end of your time supporting Sifers-Grayson. Your team leader has asked you to prepare a 2 page research and analysis brief (“briefing paper”) for the company’s executives in which you identify the five most important technologies which the company should adopt in order to improve its security posture.

Provide specific details as to why each technology is required (what is the vulnerability or weakness that the technology will address). Then, make a recommendation for how the company should implement that technology. You must provide specific, actionable information. Your recommendations must also be based upon recognized best practices. Include the following steps in your research and analysis as you select and evaluate technologies, products, and services that will help improve the company’s security posture:

·  

o Identify Candidate Technologies

o Research Products and Services which implement the technologies

o Identify Vendors

o Evaluate Products & Services (use existing market research)

Cite the sources of information used in your research and analysis (document where you obtained your information from). Use a professional citation format and provide a reference list at the end of your briefing paper.

Complete the assignment below using Microsoft Excel.

You have been hired by an engineering firm needing a senior level data analyst. Upon accepting this position, your supervisor has a variety of data analysis task for you to complete using PMT and What-IF-Analysis functions. In this process, your supervisor wants you to complete all steps below:

1. Open a new Microsoft Excel workbook and rename any sheet tab of choice to “My Car” or “My Truck.”
2. Use the illustration and further steps below to set up and format your worksheet.

1. Merge and center cells A1 and I1 and then enter a title “My Car” or “My Truck.”
2. Using a color of choice, fill in cells C3 through I10 and in this colored region, include any picture of choice to represent a car or truck of choice. Nicely format and place this picture within this area.
3. Then from cell A4 through A10, enter the following labels:
   1. Purchase Price
   2. Down Payment
   3. Trade-in
   4. Amount Financed
   5. Term of loan (in years)
   6. Annual Interest Rate
   7. Monthly Payment
4. Then from cell B4 through B6, enter a purchase price, down payment, and trade-in value of choice. Then create a formula to calculate amount financed in cell B7. For example, a formula to use in this case would be “=B4-(B5+B6)”.
5. Then from cell B8 through B9, enter the term of loan in years and an interest rate of choice. Then use a PMT function to determine the monthly payment in cell B10. For example, a formula to use in this case for cell B10 would be “=-PMT(B9/12,B8*12,B7)”.
6. The illustration below will offer more support on input of all required formulas along with sample data input:

1. Once all data and calculations are working, do any other housekeeping to include professional format of choice to enhance presentation of data.
2. Repeat steps 4 through 12 creating another similar model for a house of choice and place this loan analysis model in the same workbook but in a new worksheet naming the worksheet “My Home.”
3. Once both PMT_Models are complete, go back to My Car or My Truck worksheet and use the illustration below and further enhance the loan analysis using What-IF-Analysis.

1. In cell A12, type the label Annual Interest Rate. Then merge and center cells B12 through I12 and enter the label Term of Loan (in years).
2. In cell A13, equal this to cell reference B10. Fill this cell with a color of choice and use the same color for the text color to hide this value.
3. Starting with cell A14 and ending with A35, enter some interest rates. Make sure data is centered and formatted as a percentage.
4. Starting with cell B13 through I13, enter some additional term of loan options in years and make sure data is centered.
5. Using your mouse, select all cells in the range from A13 through I35. Then select the data tab and then the What-If-Analysis tool. From the What-If-Analysis options select Data Table. At this point, a small dialog window will appear asking for Row and Column input cells. For the Row Input, select the value associated with years in the loan which would be an absolute reference as $B$8. For the Column Input, select the value associated with interest rate which would be an absolute reference as $B$9. 
6. To get a better understanding of the purpose and uses of the What-If-Analysis, be sure to explore www.youtube.com and the keywords “Microsoft Excel What-If-Analysis” to see additional demonstrations.
7. Once all data and calculations are working, do any other housekeeping to include professional format of choice to enhance presentation of data. Below is an illustration of what your My Car or My Truck worksheet will look similar too:

1. Repeat steps 11 through 18 creating another similar What-IF-Analysis model for the My House worksheet.
2. Save and be sure the name of the Microsoft Excel Workbook is “M7_YourLastName”.
