• Describe how machine learning and data analytics could have detected and/or prevented the APT you analyzed had the victim organization deployed these  technologies at the time of the event. Be specific.

Write a program in pseudocode that inputs from the user the number of hours worked and hourly pay rate for employees and outputs their total pay. the program should process an arbitrary number of employees : the user will terminate input by entering 0 for hours worked and pay rate. use a class called Worker with attrributes: hours rate and total. methods computetotal() and access methods sethours, gethours, setrate, getrate, settotal,, and gettotal for each of the attributes

1. Clearly define the main problem and list all sub problems

2. Make a direct connection between major sub problems and the main problem. Use a Fish Bone diagram.

3. Identify all stakeholders by title and association (i.e. department, outpatient etc.) and connect them to the main problem or a sub problem. Use the stakeholder template and the Problem template.

4. Which Elicitation tools would you use to gather additional information and gain a better understanding of the problem (List two 2). Give specific examples. (for instance if you are using ethnography which stakeholders  will you observe (at least two), and what you are looking for. If you are using an Interview provide the stakeholders (at least two) you will interview and sample questions)

5. Include a Glossary of all specialty terms

6. You do not need to solve the problem or propose solutions 

Discuss in 500 words or more best practices for incident response in the cloud. Refer to at least one incidence response framework.

Use at least three sources. Use the Research Databases available from the Danforth Library not Google. Include at least 3 quotes from your sources enclosed in quotation marks and cited in-line by reference to your reference list.  Example: “words you copied” (citation) These quotes should be one full sentence not altered or paraphrased. Cite your sources using APA format. Use the quotes in your paragaphs.  Stand alone quotes will not count toward the 3 required quotes.

Research Paper: Develop a Computer/Internet Security Policy

You have been hired as the CSO (Chief Security Officer) for an organization. Your job is to develop a computer and internet security policy for the organization that covers the following areas:

• Computer and email acceptable use policy
• Internet acceptable use policy
• Password protection policy

Make sure you are sufficiently specific in addressing each area. There are plenty of security policy and guideline templates available online for you to use as a reference or for guidance. Your plan should reflect the business model and corporate culture of a specific organization that you select.  Include at least 3 scholarly references in addition to the course textbook.  The UC Library is a good place to find these references. At least two of the references cited need to be peer-reviewed scholarly journal articles from the library.Your paper should meet the following requirements:

• Be approximately four 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 and at least three 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. 

Discuss in 500 words or more the differences between and advantages of MAC, DAC, and RBAC.

Use at least three sources.   Use the Research Databases available from the Danforth Library not Google. Include at least 3 quotes from your sources enclosed in quotation marks and cited in-line by reference to your reference list.  Example: “words you copied” (citation) These quotes should be one full sentence not altered or paraphrased. Cite your sources using APA format. Use the quotes in your paragraphs.  Stand alone quotes will not count toward the 3 required quotes.

Problem:

1. Describe the general processes that should be followed in managing risks throughout a project. Be sure to include the general sequence in which these processes are carried out.
2. Prepare a sample risk register for a project to put humans on Mars (four or five risks).
3. What is the difference between qualitative and quantitative risk analysis? Which one is always done? Why is the other one not always done for every project?

Title: Project Management 

Subtitle: https://opentextbc.ca/projectmanagement/ 

Authors: Adrienne Watt 

Publisher: BCcampus Open Education 

Publication Date: 2019 

Edition: 2nd Edition

  Using a Python Slicing And Python Functions 

The paper is an old but important publication in the history of operating systems. The paper is A. Bensoussan and R. Daley, “The Multics Virtual Memory: Concepts and Design”, Proceedings of the Symposium on Operating Systems Principles, 1969.” As usual, I would like a summary, followed by a separate section containing your reaction. As I continue to read your submissions, in many cases the summaries are better than the reaction sections, in the sense that they were given more attention, or they are so commingled that I can’t tell the summary and reaction apart. Please physically separate the two sections (using ‘Summary’ and ‘Reaction’ headings would be a good way to do that) and give some serious, critical thought to what you have read.
