• The relevance or importance of the study
• The appropriateness of the experimental design

When you write your evaluation, be brief and concise, this is not meant to be an essay but an objective evaluation that one can read very easily and quickly. Also, you should include a complete reference (title, authors, journal, issue, pages) you turn in your evaluation. 

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

Many business environments have both visible and invisible physical security controls. You see them at the post office, at the corner store, and in certain areas of your own computing environment. They are so pervasive that some people choose where they live based on their presence, as in gated access communities or secure apartment complexes. Alison is a security analyst for a major technology corporation that specializes in data management. This company includes an in house security staff (guards, administrators, and so on) that is capable of handling physical security breaches. Brad experienced an intrusion—into his personal vehicle in the company parking lot. He asks Alison whether she observed or recorded anyone breaking into and entering his vehicle, but this is a personal item and not a company possession, and she has no control or regulation over damage to employee assets. This is understandably unnerving for Brad, but he understands that she’s protecting the business and not his belongings.

When or where would you think it would be necessary to implement security measures for both?

A picture is worth a thousand words” may be a lovely cliché, but it’s exactly the wrong way to view visualization. 

 For this week’s discussion, please view the Periodic Table of Visualization at the following link (http://www.visual-literacy.org/periodic_table/periodic_table.html). Choose one Data Visualization and one Compound Visualization by placing your mouse cursor over each option. Provide the class with a brief description of your choices and explain why you made your choices. Also, describe what advantage do your choices have over the others. Remember to also reply to at least two of your classmate’s posts on this questions and include all in one single thread. 

This week’s journal article was focused on how information and communication innovation drives change in educational settings. The key focus of the article was how technology-based leadership has driven the digital age.  Also, that the role of technology leadership incorporates with the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM).

In this paper, address the following key concepts:

1. Define TAM and the components.
2. Note how TAM is impacting educational settings.
3. Give an overview of the case study presented and the findings.

Be sure to use the UC Library for scholarly research. Google Scholar is also a great source for research.  Please be sure that journal articles are peer-reviewed and are published within the last five years.

The paper should meet the following requirements:

• 3-5 pages in length (not including title page or references)
• APA guidelines must be followed.  The paper must include a cover page, an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.
• A minimum of five peer-reviewed journal articles.

The writing should be clear and concise.  Headings should be used to transition thoughts.  Don’t forget that the grade also includes the quality of writing.

Research topics: Biometrics in Physical security

Paper must be 6-7 pages excluding title page and reference 

The paper must contain 4 section- Introduction, Literature Review, Details and Conclusion

1. For this discussion topic, you will need to research storage virtualization and its benefits. Your initial post should focus on what benefits exist from virtualizing the storage attached to the hypervisor.  

2. or this discussion topic, you will need to research network virtualization and examine the resources you find carefully. While most of the information you find will be targeted at the reasons to virtualize networks, you need to determine what pitfalls exist. Summarize your findings in your initial post.  

3. For this discussion topic, you are expected to do research and post your findings on the pros and cons of implementing and using a virtual desktop infrastructure. 

4. In IT, sometimes a large part of the battle when developing a solution to a problem is knowing what options exist.  For this assignment, you will research what companies offer network virtualization products and how their products differ with the goal of writing up a summary of what options exist.  You should include in your summary if any of these solutions come from existing network hardware companies.   

5. For this assignment do research on either VMware Horizon or Microsoft Remote Desktop Services and complete a plan to implement a virtual desktop infrastructure based on up on the business details provided.  You plan should include details as to how many of what types of servers would be needed, how many and what types of virtual desktops would be needed and any other considerations you might encounter.  

6. For this assignment you will research the common client hardware and software that is used by end users to access virtual desktop environments.   You should explore each of the client connection methods in detail list both pros and cons for each connection method or device.  You need to have a minimum of 3 different devices or connection types discussed in your paper.  

Answer the following question:

SQL is a pervasive querying language. While there is one primary SQL dialect that all SQL RDBMS implementations must support, and that’s ANSI SQL, each database platform comes out with its own context. Each of these dialects has its own  DDL (Data Definition Language). DML (Data Manipulation Language). and DQL (Data Query Language). Other than for marketing purposes (to sell the product as unique), what is the value of creating a new variation of a SQL dialect. 

Provide an example of one SQL dialect as part of your write-up.

  The organization that we will use is a small community bank. This type of organization was selected because everyone in the course should have some familiarity with banks, a community bank has a smaller scope, the banking industry has regulatory requirements to follow, and public trust in banking is very important.

Submission One – Policies

Bank of Bowie requires a set of policies to guide their efforts. Write an Enterprise Information Security Policy for the Bank of Bowie. See Page 148, Table 4-1 for an example. Make certain the policy includes what the information security needs are and not how to achieve them. Include the five federal requirements and three additional requirements based on market competitors (local banks – such as MECU, SECU, PointBreeze Credit Union, 1st Mariner Bank, Rosedale Federal Savings and Loan). Please detail the mission, vision, and values to support the justification for the “information security needs”. Create an Issue-specific security policy (ISSP) on a relevant topic of your choosing. It can be for internal system users or for customers or services provided to customers. Create a system specific policy that addresses audit logs and backup of the audit logs. Make certain that it is compliant with the laws indicated in the background. Each policy document should be well organized per the outlines presented in the text or another reference. Each policy should be between 2 and 4 pages and it will be graded based on its completeness in addressing the topic, not on its length. Finally, it should follow all of the guidelines for each policy type in the text.
