CyberSecurity IT

 

Your assignment will be to first to identify and conduct investigation using (Google, news report, government report, and any other valid source) into a data breach incident of an organization in the past several years. *** NO CASE That was reviewed during class will be accepted! Ensure you select new case, not one covered in class. Assignment done on cases covered in class will get immediate zero***
Then, develop a written paper that will provide the following sections:

  • Data Breach Overview: Provide an overview of the data breach incident you selected, the organization that it occurred in, and indicate if any prior data incidents occurred in that organization previously (Use references to support your claims).
  • Cybersecurity Failures: Analyze the cybersecurity failures and identify the specific dimension(s) of cybersecurity and their related principles (Hint: McCumber Cube and it’s dimensions + relevant principles on each dimension!) that have been violated during the identified data breach incident (Use references to support your claims).
  • Cyber Risk Management: From recent industry and/or government reports (i.e. less than three years old) and in your own words (no quotes, but use references to support your claims) identify the cyber risk management factors (Likelihood – also known as ‘rate of occurrence’ + estimated impact) associated with the specific cyber incident that occurred for the organization you’re investigating. (Use references to support your claims). Include a simple table to highlight the cyber threat, risk description, likelihood, impact, and actions proposed to mitigate that cyber threat in the future.
  • Business Continuity Plan: In your own words (no quotes, but use references to support your claims) describe appropriate measures that the organizations should take to mitigate the risk of another data breach incident in the future.
  • Conclusion: In your own words (no quotes!!!), provide a conclusion that summarizes the whole paper.

In particular, you will need to develop a 5- to 7-page document (not more!) that outlines each of the section above and provides the details to address the points above.

 All text in the proposal should be word-processed (letter or correspondence-quality font), New Times Roman or Calibri, 12 point, double space and standard margins. The body of the proposal should be 5- to 7-pages long (not including title page, Table of Contents, Reference List, & Certificate of Authorship). 

   

The report should also be done professionally and should include:

  • Table of Contents (with sections & page numbers identified – Ensure the context text starts on page 1, frontmatter shouldn’t be counted in page numbers)
  • Page numbers on all pages
  • Clear and consistent headings of all sections
  • No running heads
  • Reference List following APA (At least seven different references)

Note your safe assign score. Score should be less than 25

    Submit a brief abstract describing your final project. 

On-Cloud Migration

Fintech company that collaborates with law firms and financial institutions to offer investigative solutions. Currently, the company has solutions and applications installed on servers that are located on-premises. Delays occur when new clients or customers need to be onboarded because of on-premises infrastructure. The ability to discover the employees needed to support infrastructure setup is necessary, including software licensing and hardware configuration, which both require several permissions from the information security team. We have opted to migrate to the cloud to cut down on turnaround times for projects and increase productivity. We have found that using cloud solutions enhances the effectiveness of resource deployment and use. Also, the cloud infrastructure makes it simple to integrate analytical solutions on databases.

How does migration to On-Cloud will impact the Fintech firm? Address the potential business or system operations that will be improved following the implementation. Address how this will help operational excellence. Also include a conclusion. I need 2 full pages of content without any extra spacing. 

Qualitative Research Study on DATA ANALYTICS

ASSIGNMENT INFORMATION Due Date:  Saturday, January 29, 2022  12:00 AM

Points Possible:  250

  • You will review both quantitative and qualitative research.  The topic is up to you as long as you choose a peer-reviewed, academic research piece.  I suggest choosing a topic that is at least in the area of interest as your expected dissertation topic so that you can start learning what is out there.  There are no hard word counts or page requirements as long as you cover the basic guidelines and write in APA style.  You must submit original work, however,  and a paper that returns as a large percentage of copy/paste to other sources will not be accepted.  (Safe Assign will be used to track/monitor your submission for plagiarism. Submissions with a Safe Assign match of more than 25% will not be accepted.) 

Use APA formatting and include the following information:

  • Introduction/Background of the research topic:  Provide context for the research article.  What led the author(s) to write the piece? What key concepts were explored? Were there weaknesses in prior research that led the author to the current hypothesis or research question?
  • What characteristics of this study make it a qualitative study?
  • Methodology:  Describe how the data were gathered and analyzed.  What research questions or hypotheses were the researchers trying to explore? What statistical analysis was used?
  • Study Findings and Results:  What were the major findings from the study? Were there any limitations?
  • Conclusions:  Evaluate the article in terms of significance, research methods, readability and the implications of the results.  Does the piece lead to further study? Are there different methods you would have chosen based on what you read? What are the strengths and weaknesses of the article in terms of statistical analysis and application? (This is where a large part of the rubric is covered.)

   Although you always wanted to be a professional gamer, somehow you followed your other dream and ended up becoming an expert in databases. Your old love is still there, so you decide to build a Esports website for game lovers. The core of this website is a database with a schema that captures all the information about Esports. – The database should keep information about video game companies that develop games, such as their unique names, the dates they were founded, headquarters, etc. – You will also include some hot Esports games developed by these companies in your database. Each game is uniquely identified by its name, and you also want to record the developer company, release date, and genre (MOBA, fighting, shooting, etc). Each game has exactly one developer company, and the developer company must also be in your database.

Cloud Adoption Policy Addendum

The following is project 1: Final Cloud Adoption Policy Addendum

I have completed this assignment already. However, my professor wants me to review it and correct it or I will fail the class. It needs to be done no later than 11 May 2021. I’m attaching a Zip with the instruction, resources, and completed project that needs to be corrected.

The following is my professor’s Feedback. PLEASE follow and correct what he asks:

You have a well-written and well-organized paper, but it only covers about 60% of what is required. It appears that you followed the template almost exactly, which is a sure path to failing the project because it leaves out many of the competencies. I gave you credit for the competencies addressed, however, the remaining competencies listed below were not addressed at all or very little. 

I did not find any information related to the liability issues associated with cloud adoption. This is required competency as listed in 8.1. You will have to add in that content and re-submit.

I did not find any information related to a plan for cloud implementation/migration. This is required competency as listed in 9.1. You will have to add in this content and re-submit. 

I did not find any information related to a documentation strategy to support cloud operation. This is required competency as listed in 9.3. You will have to add in this content and re-submit. 

I did not find any information related to a Disaster Recovery plan. This is required competency as listed in 11.7. You will have to add in this content and re-submit. 

You need to read (or re-read) my announcements on the requirements for this project and also my announcement on “The Quickest way to Fail”
