Research paper Digital Forensics tool

Conduct graduate-level, academic research on the following topics and draft a five pages , APA paper summarizing your research results. The paper counts for 300 points of the 1,000 total course points.

1)What is the state of cybersecurity viz. digital forensics as its function to mitigate risk and solve incidents?

2)What are some of the prominent, open-course digital forensics tools that the field deploys to help conduct forensics investigations? What are some missed opportunities that the industry reflects?

3) What are some recent (within last five years) DF successes? Describe two to five incidents that were solved, or partially solved, by digital forensics practitioners. These could be criminal cases or civil cases, such as contract disputes, intellectual property theft, divorces, even. You should be thinking about this part of the research as demonstrating case studies that highlight the importance of forensics to cybersecurity.

Excel 2019 In Practice – Ch 9 Independent Project 9-5

 These instructions are compatible with both Microsoft Windows and Mac operating systems.

At Placer Hills Real Estate, commission is split with other agencies based on price groups. You create a one-variable data table to display results for various split rates. Additionally, you create scenarios for selling price and commission and create a histogram about sales.

[Student Learning Outcomes 9.1, 9.3, 9.4, 9.6]

File Needed: PlacerHills-09.xlsx (Available from the Start File link.)

Completed Project File Name: [your name]-PlacerHills-09.xlsx

Skills Covered in This Project

  • Build a one-variable data table.
  • Use Solver.
  • Create and manage scenarios.
  • Create a histogram with a chart.
  1. Open the PlacerHills-09 start file. The file will be renamed automatically to include your name. Change the project file name if directed to do so by your instructor
  2. Enable the content security warning.
  3. Review formulas.
    1. Select cell C14 on the Calculator worksheet. The total commission is calculated by multiplying the selling price by the commission rate.
    2. Select cell C15. The IFS function checks the selling price (C12) to determine the split percentage (column D) based on the price group.
    3. Select cell C16. The IFS function checks the selling price (C12) to determine the administrative fee percentage (column E) and multiplies that percentage by the value in cell C15 to calculate the fee in dollars.
    4. Select cell C17. The net commission is calculated by subtracting the fees from the PHRE amount.
  4. Build one-variable data tables.
    1. Select cell C20 and create a reference to cell C15.
    2. Select cell D20 and create a reference to cell C17. Both formulas depend on cell C12, the one variable.
    3. Use cell D8 as the column input for the data table (Figure 9-87). (You can use any percentage from column D because its value is replaced by the proposed rates in column B in the data table.)ImagesFigure 9-87 Data table setup for commission rates
    4. Decrease the decimal two times for all values in the data table.
  5. Name cell ranges.
    1. Click the Price Solver worksheet tab.
    2. Click cell C12 and name the range Selling_Price. You cannot use spaces in a range name.
    3. Name cell C14 as Total_Commission and cell C17 as PHRE_Commission.
  6. Install the Solver Add-in and the Analysis ToolPak.
  7. Use Solver to find target PHRE net commission amounts.
    1. Build a Solver problem with cell C17 as the objective cell. For the first solution, set the objective to a value of 50000 by changing cell C12. Use the GRG Nonlinear solving method. Save the results as a scenario named $50,000.
    2. Restore the original values and run another Solver problem to find a selling price for a PHRE commission of 75000. Save these results as a scenario named $75,000.
    3. Restore the original values and run a third Solver problem to find a selling price for a net commission of $100,000. Save these results as a scenario and restore the original values.
  8. Manage scenarios.
    1. Show the $50,000 scenario in the worksheet.
    2. Create a Scenario summary report for cells C12, C14, and C17.
  9. Create a histogram for recent sales.
    1. Click the Sales Forecast sheet tab and select cell G13.
    2. Create a bin range of 10 values starting at 350,000 with intervals of 50,000, ending at 800,000 in cell G22.
    3. Use the Analysis ToolPak to create a histogram for cells E5:E26. Do not check the Labels box and select the bin range in your worksheet.
    4. Select cell H3 for the Output Range and include a chart.
    5. Position and size the chart from cell K3 to cell V19.
    6. Edit the horizontal axis title to display Selling Price and edit the vertical axis title to Number of Sales.
    7. Edit the chart title to display Sales by Price Group.
    8. Select and delete the legend.
    9. Delete cells G13:G22 (Figure 9-88).ImagesFigure 9-88 Histogram and chart for sales data
  10. Save and close the workbook (Figure 9-89).
  11. Upload and save your project file.
  12. Submit project for grading.

Literature

 

The bonds between siblings are among the strongest. May-Lee Chai describes the relationship between two sisters in her short story, “Saving Sourdi.” 

After reading “Saving Sourdi,” discuss the following questions in 3–5 paragraphs:

  1. The story begins with a strong revealing statement from Nea, the narrator. How do you think Nea feels about her sister Sourdi based on this information? How does what happens at the beginning of the story foreshadow what happens later?
  2. This story is told from Nea’s point of view. How do you think the story would change if it were told from Sourdi’s point of view? Do you feel closer to the character than you would if this story were told in third person?
  3. Nea briefly mentions an experience she and Sourdi had in a minefield when they were younger. What impact do you think this had on the relationship between the sisters?
  4. Nea’s family is not originally from the United States. What are some clues the author gives to describe the origin of their ethnicity? Give 2 examples of characters who say things that are racially offensive, and discuss how this makes you feel about those characters. Can you relate to these experiences?
  5. How does the author describe Duke and Mr. Chhay? Do you get a sense of who these characters are based on these descriptions?
  6. As the story progresses, how does the relationship between Nea and Sourdi change? Why do you think it changes?
  7. What does the mother value, based on how reaction to updates she receives from Sourdi? Why do you think she might feel this way?

Blockchain Governance – DIscussion

  

Chapter 10 introduced the need and function of governance in a blockchain environment. Create a new thread, choose two aspects of enterprise blockchain governance presented in chapter 10 and describe how you think each one could help govern a blockchain environment (and how it differs from a traditional application environment.) Then think of three questions you’d like to ask other students and add these to the end of your thread. The questions should be taken from material you read in Chapter 10. You’re not trying to test each other, but you are trying to start a discussion.
