Hide Assignment InformationTurnitin®Turnitin® enabledThis assignment will be submitted to Turnitin®.Instructions

Your boss wants you to draft a two- to three-page vulnerability process and assessment memorandum addressing the main points of a VM process for Mercury USA. You will cover the main elements of a vulnerability management process, tailored to Mercury USA’s business in the transportation sector, evaluate the OpenVAS scanning tool, and provide recommendations for mitigating the vulnerabilities found within the OpenVAS report.

The third-party pen tester used the free tool Open Vulnerability Assessment Scanner (OpenVAS) to scan Mercury USA’s network. Review the report from the OpenVAS Scan.

As you review the scan, consider some important points from Lesson 5.6, Remediation:

  • Priority
  • Difficulty of implementation
  • Communication/change control
  • Inhibitors to remediation
    • MOUs
    • SLAs
    • Business process interruption
    • Degrading functionality

How Will My Work Be Evaluated?

An important part of your duties as a cybersecurity analyst will involve analyzing data from multiple sources and sensors such as antivirus/antimalware scanners, firewalls, insider threat monitoring systems, intrusion detection/prevention systems, SIEMs, vulnerability scanners, web application scanners, and other tools. You will also process logs from applications, auditing, network infrastructure devices, internet of things (IoT) devices, mobile communications devices, printers, servers, security appliances, and generalized logging collectors like syslog and Windows Event Logs.

As a cybersecurity analyst, you will be considered the subject matter and technical expert. A large part of your work will focus on identifying, analyzing, and mitigating vulnerabilities. For this assignment, you are asked to provide your supervisor with a technical evaluation of the organization’s vulnerabilities and propose a vulnerability management process. By summarizing your results in a short memorandum, you are showing how you use your technical knowledge to convey your ideas to others in a professional setting. Your ability to express your findings using the right mix of technical detail in a business context using an accepted format is an important workplace skill.

The following evaluation criteria aligned to the competencies will be used to grade your assignment:

  • 1.1.1: Articulate the main idea and purpose of a communication.
  • 1.3.1: Identify potential sources of information that can be used to develop and support ideas.
  • 1.4.1: Produce grammatically correct material in standard academic English that supports the communication.
  • 10.1.1: Identify the problem to be solved.
  • 10.1.2: Gather project requirements to meet stakeholder needs.
  • 12.1.2: Formulate policies, processes, and procedures based upon identified business needs.
  • 12.2.1: Identify systems for the risk assessment.

You will use this report to write a two- to three-page memorandum for your manager, Judy. Follow the instructions in the VM Process Overview Template to record your work.

Delete the instruction text before you submit your project.

Create an interface called Player

  

Create an interface called Player. The interface has an absract method called play() that displays a message describing the meaning of “play” to the class. Create classes called Child, Musician, and Actor that all implement Player. Create an application that demonstrates the use of the classes. Save the files as Player.java. Child.java, Actor.java. Musician.java, and UsePlayer.java

Among one of many reasons to target the Android platform, first and foremost is cost. On average you can get an Android smartphone for a fraction of the cost of an iPhone. They may not have commensurate features, but thrift is a major component for new smartphone buyers. Next is flexibility.    Developers can often find on cheap and imported Android devices a version of Google Play that is maintained by the manufacturer.  Developers should develop as if they expect their app to be available to all Android devices.

  1. Besides cost, why should mobile app developers target the Android platform?
  2. Why is Android competition to itself?
  3. Describe key ingredients needed to create mobile applications on the iOS platform.

Programming Paper

Write a 3 page paper on any future technology that involves computer programing 

Use APA style. Make sure to have an appropriate title page and reference page. The paper itself should be 3 pages APA style.

cybersecurity in health care

 

Using the topic and the tpic is” cybersecurity in health care systems”, you will design a quantitative instrument that could potentially answer your topic/research question if it were to be applied to a quantitative study. Keep in mind, this may take some stretching if you wrote your question leaning quantitatively. The purpose here is not to box you in but to ensure that you have a solid understanding of both methodologies. This assignment functions similar to 3.1 but in a quantitative format. 

Directions:

You will develop a word document to include:

  1. Your research question in the form of a quantitative question (if it was not already).
  2. An instrument or protocol (survey, questionaire, archival data, etc) that could be used to answer the quantitative version of your research question. 

*Special note for those using archival data, you will describe the process of data retrieval for your archival data.

  1. A one paragraph description/justification of how your chosen instrument/protocol is the best choice for answering the quantitative version of your research question. This should include citations from the literature to support justification.
