Need help with Microsoft Access

For the Week 3 Microsoft Access Module 1 Lab Assignment, you will develop a database for the gift shop at your local science museum. Use skills/techniques/concepts learned in the Microsoft Access Module 1. HINT: The finished Lab Assignment should include: 2 tables, 1 query, 1 form, and 1 report.

Problem: The Milledgeville, Georgia, science museum operates a gift shop that sells science-related products. The gift shop purchases the products from vendors that deal in science-related games, toys, and other merchandise. Currently, the information about the items and the vendors is stored in two tables. You are to create a database that will store the item and vendor information.

Perform the following tasks:

1. Create a new blank database in which to store all data for the gift shop and save the database as LastnameFirstnameAccessLab1.accdb
2. Import the Vendor table AND the Item table from the database (Module 1 Lab Assignment.accdb) into the new blank database you created in Step 1.
3. Open the Vendor table.
   • Change the field size for the Vendor Code field to 2
   • Change the field size for the Vendor Name field to 25
   • Change the field size for the Telephone Number field to 12
   • Assign the caption VC to the Vendor Code field
   • Resize the columns to best fit the data
   • Save the changes to the table and close the table
4. Open the Item table.
   • Change the field size for the Vendor Code field to 2
   • Change the field size for the Item Number field to 4
   • Change the field size for the Description field to 28
   • Add the caption Wholesale for the Wholesale Cost field, the caption Retail for the Retail Price field, and the caption VC for the vendor code
   • The On Hand field should be an Integer field
   • Resize the columns to best fit the data
   • Save the changes to the table and close the table
5. Create a query for the Item table. Include the Item Number, Description, Wholesale Cost,
   Retail Price, and Vendor Code. Save the query as Item Query.
6. Create a form for the Item table. Save the form as Item.
7. Create a report for the Item table. Include the Item Number, Description, On Hand, and Wholesale Price. Save the report as Item Status Report.
8. Change the telephone number for Asherton Wholesalers to 999-999-9999.
9. Update the author (use your name) and title (use ‘Week 3 Microsoft Access Module 1 Lab Assignment’) in the document properties.

Scenario

ABC Insurance Company is one of the largest insurance companies in U.S. It has several branches/agents across the nation. Their branches can communicate with the central company headquarters and with each other through computer network. Customer information and company sensitive data has to be protected at all times. ABC Insurance Company has database servers, J2EE application server, and web application server for its employers to access. It allows the customers to access insurance policy information, purchase, and change or cancel insurance policies online, and other services. The customers include individual policy holders and business policy holders. 

The company employees and the customers need login accounts to access the company servers. The company adopts the JRA architecture for the log-in capability. This infrastructure has many components. Many of the components consist of active directories, web servers, and databases. Each of the JRA architectures has a Business to Enterprise connection which is internal, Business to Customers which is individual policy customers and Business to Business which is business customers with the insurance company. These connections are called realms. Each realm is located at a different physical location. 

ABC Insurance Company holds customer information which is a valued asset to the company. The company has to ensure that this information is confidential to have the customers’ trust. The company has to protect the customers’ insurance policies which are the drive for the company’s success. Agents’ login credentials and data needs to be secure too. 

A problem with ABC Insurance Company is the amount of hours needed to maintain the architecture. ABC Insurance Company wants a different way to implement this architecture. It was suggested to virtualize the JRA architecture. Virtualization can enable processes to share resources more efficiently. This would have different operating systems, web servers, and databases run on a virtual machine. Each realm would run on one machine as a virtual realm. This would cut down component costs, and cut down manpower to maintain the architecture. Two or more realms can run on one machine if they face the same kind of risks.

Case Objectives:

• Identify the vulnerabilities involved      in implementing a new technology. Refer to NIST RMF as you will need to      include this plan for this assignment.
• Determine the      likelihood for a potential vulnerability. 
• Create a plan for Enterprise      Governance, Risk and Compliance (eGRC) which shall also include a support      plan.
• Should include process integration      for eGRC, workflows and enterprise change processes. For example, could      look ServiceNow Enterprise Management platform.
• Assess risk considering the      likelihood of the occurrence of vulnerability, the information asset      value, current controls and the uncertainty of current knowledge.
• Determine the      adverse impact resulting from a successful threat exercise of      vulnerability.
• Formulate a      cost benefit analysis on adopting a new technology.
• Assess risk      level according to the likelihood of a vulnerability being exploited, and      the impact of the vulnerability.
• Recommend      risk mitigation strategies for controlling risks.
• Evaluate      the risk mitigation strategies.

 If an attacker can retrieve the API and libraries, then use these to write an agent, and then get the attacker’s agent installed, how should Digital Diskus protect itself from such an attack? Should the business analytics system provide a method of authentication of valid agents in order to protect against a malicious one? Is the agent a worthy attack surface?  500 words
