Case Scenario:
Sifers-Grayson (the “client”) has requested that your company research and recommend an Endpoint Protection Platform, which will provide endpoint protection for the Apple MacBook laptop computers used by some of its employees. The MacBooks are bring your own device (BYOD) computers which some employees use to access company networks and servers while teleworking or working remotely (e.g. at the test range). The company has decided that, for now, it will continue to allow these devices on its networks but, an approved Endpoint Protection Platform must be used to manage the security of these devices.
The client wants an Endpoint Protection product that works with MacBooks (Apple OSX), is easy to use, and automatically updates itself (patches and virus definition files). The “automatic” updates could be a problem since some of the MacBooks are rarely connected to the company’s networks. This is especially true for employees who use an intermittent cellular connection to access the company’s networks while visiting customers or working at the engineering test range.Research:
1. Review the Week 1 readings.
2. using one of the product lists provided in Week 1, select a product that works on MacBooks. Research your chosen product using product information sheets (from the vendor’s website).
3. Find three or more additional sources which provide (a) product evaluations or reviews for your chosen product or (b) general information about Endpoint Protection Platforms.
Note: Since your client is a contractor to the US Government, you should be careful as to the reputation and nationality of the vendor you select. For example, Kapersky AV products no longer have approval for installation on US Government networks due to sanctions against its home nation. Write:
Write a 4 page summary of your research (“briefing paper”). At a minimum, your summary must include the following:
1. An introduction or overview for the security technology category (Endpoint Protection Platforms)
2. A review of the features, capabilities, and deficiencies for your selected vendor and product Make certain that you are reviewing the Apple MacBook version of the product.
3. Discussion of how the selected product could be used by your client to support its cybersecurity objectives by reducing risk, increasing resistance to threats/attacks, decreasing vulnerabilities, etc.
4. A closing section in which you restate your recommendation for a product (include the three most important benefits). As you write your review, make sure that you address security issues using standard cybersecurity terminology (e.g. protection, detection, prevention, “governance,” confidentiality, integrity, availability, nonrepudiation, assurance, etc.). See the ISACA glossary https://www.isaca.org/pages/gl… you need a refresher on acceptable terms and definitions. Formatting Instructions
use standard APA formatting for the MS Word document that you submit to your assignment folder. Formatting requirements and examples are found under Course Resources > APA Resources. Submit For Grading
Submit your Technology & Product Review in MS Word format (.docx or .doc file) for grading using your assignment folder. (Attach the file.) 

Additional Information

You are expected to write grammatically correct English in every assignment that you submit for grading. Do not turn in any work without (a) using spell check, (b) using grammar check, (c) verifying that your punctuation is correct and (d) reviewing your work for correct word usage and correctly structured sentences and paragraphs. You are expected to credit your sources using in-text citations and reference list entries. Both your citations and your reference list entries must comply with APA 6th edition Style requirements. Failure to credit your sources will result in penalties as provided for under the university’s Academic Integrity policy.

OSINT

 

Instructions: Identify an organization that you will investigate over the course labs. However, do not choose a government organization, individual, or entity that may be considered a violation of privacy.

Task: Identify 15 factors about the organization that could provide information about the organization, and how you would research these.

Submittal: Submit using the Grid Association Matrix.

 

Using the organization identified from Lab 1, identify what items would you would want to include in your chosen organization’s collection plan. Additionally, you will want to identify what you expect to gain/monitor with the collection plan.

Task: Start to develop a 1300 word document data collection plan. Include any information/content you needed to be included in your collection plan, why you selected this information, and more importantly what you expect to be able to present to leadership through the collection plan.

Java Code

  1. Movie Class 10 POINTS
    Write a class named Movie that has fields to hold the following data:

    • Title
    • Studio Name
    • Year produced
    • Rating
    • In the Movie class, also include
    • A mutator (setter) method for each field to set the value for the field
    • An accessor (getter) method for each field to get the value for the field
    • Write a separate demo program (ex: HARDYL_J5B) that utilizes the class by creating three instances of the class and printing the info in them and test all methods in the class.
      Hints/Tips:
    • You’ll have one program (Movie) for the movie class, and the demo program (HardyL_J5B)
    • In the Movie class, define your fields, then your methods
    • In the demo program, instantiate
    • It took me about 30 minutes
    • Rubric:
    • Doesn’t have the class defined -10 (no credit for this part of the assignment)
    • Doesn’t have all the fields defined -.5 per field missing
    • Doesn’t display the result -1
    • Demo program doesn’t test the methods in the class -1
    • Missing demo program -4
  2. Using Java Two C, create a class called Order (ex: p351) that has the following fields:
    • entree A char that holds the person’s burger order
    • drink A char that holds the person’s drink order
    • dessert A char that holds the person’s dessert order
    • The class should have the following methods defined:
    • default constructor – Sets all values to blank
    • Constructor#2 – Accepts an order’s entrée, drink, and dessert selection
    • setEntree – Accepts a char argument that is copied to the entrée field
    • setDrink – Accepts a char argument that is copied to the drink field
    • setDessert – Accepts a char argument that is copied to the dessert field
    • getEntree – Returns the value in entrée
    • getDrink – Returns the value in drink
    • getDessert – Returns the value in dessert
    • getPrice Returns the price of the three items in the order
    • Write a demo program (ex: HARDYL_J5D) that instantiates three people’s orders.  Allow the user to enter the orders.  Display each person’s order price and a total for the entire bill. 
      Example:
      Person #1            $7.00
      Person #2            $8.50
      Person #3            $10.25
      Total                    $25.75Hints/Tips:
    • Your output can look like the example, or you can change it, but make it clear. For example, you might have a column heading for Person and put #1 under the heading.
    • You can also use different field & method names but call your class Order.
    • You do not have to return the description for the selections.
    • Get price will have the same code used in Java 2D, except for description
    • The demo program will have similar code to Java 2D, but you do it 3 times.
    • Don’t worry about validating the input values (you should in business, but I don’t want this to be too complicated/time-consuming for you).
    • Be sure your demo program tests all methods of the class. For one person, get all the values and pass them all back. For another person, instantiate the order, then set the individual values one at a time.
    • When formatting output, you might have to use multiple tabs (t) to align the data.
    • It took me about 35 minutes
    • Rubric:
    • Doesn’t create Order class -10 (no credit for this part of the assignment)
    • Doesn’t create a Demo program -5
    • Doesn’t have all the class fields -1/per field (3)
    • Doesn’t have all the class methods -.5/per method (9)
    • Doesn’t calculate price -2
    • Doesn’t display results -3
    • Doesn’t display correct total -1
