Find a peer-reviewed scholarly journal article discussing electronic innovation and the government. Complete a review of the article by writing a 3-4 page overview of the article. This will be a detailed summary of the journal article, including concepts discussed and findings. Additionally, find one other source (it does not have to be a peer-reviewed journal article) that substantiates the findings in the article you are reviewing. 

You should use the UC library (https://www.ucumberlands.edu/library) and/or Google Scholar to find these types of articles (https://scholar.google.com/ )

Once you find the article, you will read it and write a review of it.  This is considered a research article review.

Your paper should meet these requirements: 

• Be approximately three to four pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.
• Follow APA 7 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.
• Support your answers with the readings from the course and at least two scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook. The UC Library is a great place to find resources.
• Be clearly and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing.

Paper Details

Preparation

Before you begin this assessment, please complete the practice labs as they will be helpful to you.

Then use the Internet and the Capella library to research the assessment topic. You will need at least three recent, relevant, and professional resources to support your work.

Note: Microsoft Visio is provided for your use via MS Imagine. See the Microsoft Software section in the Assessment 1 Resources for more information.

Instructions

For this assessment, you will create a wireless network design strategy. The wireless network strategy is the overall umbrella encompassing wireless access controllers (WACs) and wireless access points (APs). The wireless service provider can play a role by connecting these, thereby providing connectivity to the entire network.

Start with the network diagram you created in the Assessment 2. You may want to make some changes depending on the feedback you received from your instructor. Using this diagram, complete the following:

•Add a wireless infrastructure to your network diagram. ◦Include your IP addresses. Calculate and add your IP ranges and subnets into your diagram.

•Explain hardware placement, hardware device choices, topology choice, and overall wireless infrastructure decisions.

•Explain your IP addressing strategy.

•Describe at least three wireless standards that influenced your network structure.

The assessment you submit should be approximately 3–4 pages in length, including the diagram you create. Be sure your document is professionally written, free of errors, and that your citations and references follow APA guidelines.

Additional Requirements

•Include a title page and references page.

•At least three recent, relevant, and professional resources.

•Times New Roman, 12-point font, double spaced.

Research: Annotation and Color

Background: According to Kirk (2016), typography will have a significant role in your visualizations. You have to be careful with your text, but you must also be concerned with how the text looks. This then leads to color and functional harmony. You must provide the balance of colors in your visualizations (Kirk, 2016).  The harmony of colors you select during design will impact many aspects of the overall visualization.

Assignment: Write a research paper that contains the following:

• Discuss Typography and the importance of appearance of text
• Discuss the following color harmonies: (Usage, Pros, and Cons)
• Complementary colors
• Analogous colors
• Triadic colors

Your research paper should be at least 3 pages (800 words), double-spaced, have at least 4 APA references, and typed in an easy-to-read font in MS Word (other word processors are fine to use but save it in MS Word format). Your cover page should contain the following: Title, Student’s name, University’s name, Course name, Course number, Professor’s name, and Date.

Submit your assignment on or before the due date.

Threat Modeling

A new medium-sized health care facility just opened and you are hired as the CIO. The CEO is somewhat technical and has tasked you with creating a threat model. The CEO needs to decide from 3 selected models but needs your recommendation. Review this week’s readings, conduct your own research, then choose a model to recommend with proper justifications. Items to include (at a minimum) are:

• User authentication and credentials with third-party applications
• 3 common security risks with ratings: low, medium or high
• Justification of your threat model (why it was chosen over the other two: compare and contrast)

You will research several threat models as it applies to the health care industry, summarize three models and choose one as a recommendation to the CEO in a summary with a model using UML Diagrams (Do not copy and paste images from the Internet). In your research paper, be sure to discuss the security risks and assign a label of low, medium or high risks and the CEO will make the determination to accept the risks or mitigate them.

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

• Be approximately four to six pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page. (Remember, APA is double spaced)
• Follow APA 7 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.
• Support your answers with the readings from the course and at least two scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook. The UC Library is a great place to find resources.
• Be clearly and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing.
