Assignment Content

1. STOP: Have you watched the Week 2 video? Do not continue to the assignment until this is complete. 

   ASSIGNMENT
   Step 1: Brainstorm: Think about your field of study as a master’s student. Use one of the two methods taught in Week 2 and find two news articles that report on relevant problems related to the industry associated with your master’s degree program (you can think about scandals or major issues reported in headlines within the last 5 years). Come up with two proposals using the format in the attachment below in a simple Word document; no need for APA 7 basics yet.

   STOP!!! TO FIND YOUR ARTICLES, YOU MUST USE PP. 2-3 IN THE FOUNDATIONS TEXT IN COURSE RESOURCES FOLDER on the CONTENT page. 

   You may also use the Monroe College databases: (1) LOG INTO MYMONROE; (2) paste the following link and search! https://icof.infobase.com/

   Step 2: Proposal with Research Question: 
   You will propose TWO research questions using the attached template directly below. Please fill it out and submit it here.

   Issue_problem proposal template.docx

   I will APPROVE ONE of the proposals to be explored throughout the semester. 

   Grading:
   Issue/Problem 1 = 50 pts
   Issue/Problem 2 = 50 pts

Research on the difference between Data Analytics and Data Science and describe in your words. Find 15 or more analytics / data science related job titles and write one sentence about the primary job responsibility of each of them. The post should be 500 words or more

 NOTE: The exercise instructions here are LONG — please read them all carefully. If you see an internal scrollbar to the right of these instructions, be sure to scroll down to read everything.

Write an arithmetic expression that calculates the average of 18 and 46.

You may already know that:

• the average of two numbers is their sum divided by 2
• the symbol for division is /, thus 10 divided by 5 is written as 10/5
• division has higher arithmetic precedence than addition
• parentheses (()’s) may be used to override precedence

Thus, one correct solution would be:

(18+46)/2Try it– enter the above solution and click the submit button!

Even with an exercise as simple as taking the average of 18 and 46 it is still possible to make mistakes. For example:

• we might forget to use parentheses:
  18+46/2
• or, we might use the wrong arithmetic operator:(18-46)/2

Try these and see the system feedback. Also try entering some of your own incorrect answers, and see what you get.

Again, what makes programming so interesting is that there are also MANY ways to be right. For example, we could reverse the 18 and 46 and still have a correct answer:

(46+18)/2

One of the most essential components of all learning is experimentation. Nowhere is this more true than in learning programming. Students should be encouraged to experiment with solutions even after “getting it right”.

Having submitted a typical correct solution, a student might experiment with:

(18+46)/(3-1)

Requirements for Phase 2, Design with Test Cases Requirements

Repeat the information from your plan, edited to address issues identified in your instructor’s review of your plan. You may make other changes to your plan at this time, such as additional variables that were not identified in Phase 1. Your design should be consistent with your revised plan.

Provide a flowchart for the data acquisition module.

Provide complete pseudocode, with appropriate and adequate comments. Your pseudocode must be structurally sound (that is, pass all the tests in the Pseudocode Checklist. Your pseudocode must also be correct; that is, if it were to be translated into some appropriate programming language and compiled and run, it would likely work correctly.

Provide at least three complete test cases, including both inputs and expected outputs.

Your organization has identified several projects for possible development: A customer relationship management solution; an enterprise resource planning solution; and an inventory and tracking management solution. Discuss how you would go about selecting one of these projects and the evaluation criteria you would use.

Instructions

Week 3 Project Paper Outline:

Write an outline for your paper addressing a course-related topic, such as operating system security issue, such as hardening, malware removal, establishing proper policies and permissions, protection against network threats, etc.

The outline should:

1. Be 1-2 pages or about 500 words

2. Include a title page

3. Include an introduction paragraph

4. Include paragraph headers and subheaders – write a paragraph for each header/subheader explaining what you will plan in writing in the particular header/subheader

5.Include a references page

6. All in APA format

 Here are some things to consider:

1. Identify a topic in your specialization. (For IT students, Information Technology is not a topic, however, Millennial’s perceptions of smart phone technology could be a topic.  For leadership students, leadership or leadership styles would be too broad.  You could, however, compare leader and followers perceptions of leadership styles in private four year institutions. These are examples).  
2. What is the cited problem? The problem you want to address has to come from the literature, and be cited, who are saying there are problems.
3. What is the population you would like to address?
4. What methodology are you planning on using? (If you are unsure, do you plan on a quantitative or qualitative study?  You will determine your methodology in 839).
5. Locate at least one article related to your topic. What was the research question in the study? Who were the participants in the study? What findings were reported?

Part 1: Research Security Awareness Policies (0/1 completed)

Note: In this part of the lab, you will review an example of a security awareness training policy in order to form a basis for their purpose and usage. Understanding the reason behind a security awareness training policy is key to understanding the component policies and procedures. Please take time to review the research thoroughly and think through the concepts of the policy itself.

1. Review the security awareness training policy at the following website:

• Health care: State of North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (https://policies.ncdhhs.gov/departmental/policies-manuals/section-viii-privacy-and-security/manuals/security-manual/@@display-file/policy_file/DHHS%20Security%20Manual.pdf)

2. For the sample security awareness training policy that you reviewed in the step above, discuss the policy’s main components. You should focus on the need for a security awareness program and its key elements.

Part 2: Create a Security Awareness Policy (0/6 completed)

Note: A strong security awareness policy is a key component of a strong organizational security posture. The effectiveness of a security awareness training policy and program will directly influence how well employees will value and protect the organization’s security position. When writing a security awareness training policy, consider the following questions:

• Is the policy statement as concise and readable as possible? For example, no more than one to three sentences.
• Is the entire policy as concise and readable as possible? For example, no more than two to three pages.
• Does the policy align well with other governing documents?
• Does the policy speak directly to the target audience?
• Does the policy state the “why” with only the minimal detail, and rely on standards or guidelines for the “how”? Policies should be written in such a way that they will not need frequent updates.
• Does the policy adequately describe scope and responsibilities?
• Are the policy’s revision, approval, and distribution documented?

After the policy has been approved, its success relies on proper delivery and understanding. To simply give a new employee 5 minutes to read and sign a policy during orientation is not enough. Focused and interactive “policy understanding” sessions should guarantee every employee understands the policy’s reasoning and necessity. Customizing these sessions according to department or function can drastically increase how much employees retain of and apply the training during their work. Repeat sessions reinforce the policies and keep material fresh in their minds.

1. Review the following scenario for the fictional Bankwise Credit Union:

• The organization is a local credit union that has several branches and locations throughout the region.
• Online banking and use of the internet are the bank’s strengths, given its limited human resources.
• The customer service department is the organization’s most critical business function.
• The organization wants to be in compliance with the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) and IT security best practices regarding its employees.
• The organization wants to monitor and control use of the Internet by implementing content filtering.
• The organization wants to eliminate personal use of organization-owned IT assets and systems.
• The organization wants to monitor and control use of the e-mail system by implementing e-mail security controls.
• The organization wants to implement security awareness training policy mandates for all new hires and existing employees. Policy definitions are to include GLBA and customer privacy data requirements, in addition to a mandate for annual security awareness training for all employees.

2. Create a security management policy with defined separation of duties for the Bankwise Credit Union.

Challenge Exercise (0/2 completed)Note: The following challenge exercise is provided to allow independent, unguided work – similar to what you will encounter in a real situation.

There are many vendors that provide security awareness training software to organizations that do not have the time nor the resources to create their own. When selecting a software vendor, many organizations will issue a Request for Information (RFI) to potential vendors, outlining the details of what the organization would like to learn about the vendor’s solution. You can read more about RFIs here: https://www.smartsheet.com/free-request-for-information-templates.

As a security manager at eChef, an online marketplace for high-end kitchenware, you have been tasked with selecting a security awareness training software provider.

Use the internet to research real security awareness training software providers.

1.Identify three security awareness training software providers.

2.Identify 10 questions that you would include in your RFI.

Explain why there are two types of legal systems in the United States: State and Federal systems. How are they similar and how are they different?
