Searching for Vendor Information (without getting a ton of sales calls)

It is often helpful to research a Vendor and their products before contacting the company, (when you contact the company, you often are inundated by sales calls). Your assignment this week is to gather information on a provider of security/privacy products and write a short recommendation document. Include in your report:

• types of services this vendor provides
• facts about this company that would lead to their reliability as a provider
• how they compare to other similar vendors (you will need to look at a few companies to gather this information).

 Question 1

“Methodology Mind-Set and Management Processes”  Please respond to the following:

• According to Kerzner, “The importance of a good methodology cannot be understated.” In your own words, examine the significance of this statement as it relates to integrative information technology solutions within an organization. Provide one (1) example of an integrative information technology solution to justify your response.
• As a Chief Information Officer (CIO) for a large organization, compare and contrast three (3) of the five (5) main management processes described in Chapter 5 of Kerzner’s text. Suggest one (1) strategy to apply the business value of each selected management process to your current or future organization.

Question 2

 Hagan (2020) identified several different school shootings as well as incidents of school violence. Why do you think the United States is plagued with more school shootings than all other developed countries combined? What policies do you think would help lessen the number of school shootings? Be specific and provide examples.

In chapter 4, the author discusses different options for testing blockchain applications. For our course, we have chosen to use Ganache, a local test blockchain. Explore some of the advantages and disadvantages of using local and public blockchains to test apps and contrast the two options.  

• Create a new thread (by the FIRST DUE DATE)
  • Contract the advantages and disadvantages of using local and public blockchains to test applications.
  • Explain how each advantage and disadvantage impacts blockchain application development, and why each is important to a successful blockchain implementation.

I’m interested to read what YOU learned from this week’s reading. Do NOT submit a research paper. Tell me what you think.

• Think of three questions you’d like to ask other students and add these to the end of your thread.
  • The questions must be taken from material you read in Chapter 1 or 2, and each question should start a discussion topic.
  • You’re not trying to test each other, but you are trying to start a discussion.
• Finally, go to three other students’ threads and post comments, answering at least one of their questions.
  • For EACH comment you post, use the 3CQ approach (described above.)
  • When someone asks you a question, answer it!

ALL threads and comments must be substantive AND ORIGINAL. (I’m looking for about a paragraph – not just a short answer.) Do not plagiarize!! Use your own words.

The discussions in this class exist to simulate face-to-face discussions. To reach that goal, we will adhere to the 3CQ model. After posting each thread, you will post at least 3 comments on other students’ threads, and each comment must conform to the 3CQ model (Compliment, Comment, Connect, Question). This model encourages discussions that extend class learning and participation.

Here is a description of the 3CQ model:

1.            Compliment – Start off positive. Compliment the person on something specific you have read or observed in the person’s blog post.  For example:

• Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I really liked …

2.            Comment – Comment on something relevant and meaningful about what the person wrote. Be specific! Remember your comment might not always be agreement. You can “politely” disagree.  For example:   

• I agree with you about …
• I respect your opinion, but I think …

3.            Connect – Connect with something the person wrote (Text-to-Self, Text-to-Text, Text-to-World). Explain your connection with details giving your audience a clear idea of what you’re talking about by using sensory details.   For example:

• I can connect with you about …
• I once read a story about …
• I had the same thing happen to me…

4.            Question – Ask a specific question about something written or the writer. Keep the conversation going!

**The question in the attached file**

Do you believe that all data should be encrypted? Many computing professionals think this is a good idea. But a small number of computing experts feel that no data should be encrypted—that all data and software should be openly available to anyone who wants it. Explain your answer (whether you believe all data should or should not be encrypted).

You are the web master of a college website. You share a server with other school departments such as accounting and HR.

Based on this chapter, create at least five security-related rules for staff members who are adding web pages being added to your site. Include a justification and explanation for each rule. Rules should relate to college, staff and student, and system information security.
