Cybersecurity Planning

A.)   FINAL WRITTEN PROJECT

Cybersecurity Planning and Management

Creating Company E-mail/WIFI/Internet Use Policies

You have just been hired as the Security Manager of a medium-sized Financial Services company employing 250 people in New Hampshire, and have been asked to write two new security policies for this company. The first one is an e-mail policy for employees concentrating on personal use of company resources. The second policy is that of WIFI and Internet use within the company.

There are many resources available on the web so researching these topics and policies should be easy. The most difficult part of this exercise will be determining how strict or how lenient you want to make these policies for this particular company.

Project Plan

You are asked to create two separate policies on use of EMAIL and a WIFI/INTERNET USE within the company.

Be specific in your terms and conditions of use. Consider these items to be included in your policies (as applicable).

1. Overview 

2. Purpose 

3. Scope

4. Policy 

5. Policy Compliance

6. Related Standards, Policies and Processes

7. Definitions and Terms

Linux Implementation Proposal: Client Response Memo

 

Faster Computing was impressed with your presentation. The company is  interested in moving forward with the project, but the senior  management team has responded to the presentation with the following  questions and concerns:

  • How will security be implemented in the Linux systems—both workstations and servers?
     
  • End users have expressed some concern about completing their  day-to-day tasks on Linux. How would activities such as web browsing  work? How would they work with their previous Microsoft Office files?
     
  • The current Windows administrators are unsure about administering  Linux systems. How are common tasks, such as process monitoring and  management, handled in Linux? How does logging work? Do we have event  logs like we do in Windows?
     
  • Some folks in IT raised questions about the Linux flavor that was  recommended. They would like to see comparisons between your  recommendation and a couple of other popular options. What makes your  recommendation the best option?
     
  • How does software installation work on Linux? Can we use existing Windows software?
     
  • How can Linux work together with the systems that will continue to  run Windows? How will we share files between the different system types?
     

The deliverable for this phase of the project is a memo. There is no  minimum or maximum page requirement, but all of the questions must be  fully answered with sufficient detail. The recommended format is to  respond to the questions in a bulleted format. Provide sufficient detail  to fully address the questions. You must cite at least two quality  sources.

GVP

Challenges of global virtual projects. Need a paper in APA format which includes an abstract, introduction, research methodology, literature review and conclusion. 

Block Chain Development final paper

  

This final project gives you the opportunity to review what you’ve learned throughout the semester and present a range of topics in the form of a policy that describes how participants can join your business network, and the benefits of doing so. The overall purpose of your policy should be to create interest in your business network and its applications, along with a description of the onboarding process and ongoing benefits to members. Create a membership policy that describes the benefits and requirements of membership in your Letter of Credit business network. Your policy should be no less than 1000 words and no more than 1500 words. 

Your policy should include the following: 

· Purpose statement of the Letter of Credit business network 

· Description of the current (base) network (participants and functionality)

· Brief description of upcoming features in the next quarterly release. (Be creative, but realistic here. Think about what the existing Letter of Credit application does, and what features you’d like to add that would increase the application’s usefulness and value. Analyzing current functionality and determining which features would best meet business needs will be a big part of assessing this assignment.) 

· Description of the application upgrade process that may impact application availability and member business processes. (i.e. How does the business network organization plan to deploy new software features without causing substantial service interrruptions?)

· List of rights and benefits for participants (how does each member benefit and what data/services are available for each member) 

· Membership requirements for new members (minimum security requirements, approval process, decision making rules and authorities, minimum required agreements that new members must accept and agree to) 

· Description of fees for participation and service access 

· Minimum member resource contributions to the business network 

· Process for ending participation in the business network 

· Process for resolving disputes, including appealing the outcome of a resolved dispute. 

· Course of action to initiate an application for membership 

Background content for items 1 and 2 will come from your text. Other items will be a combination of content from your text and extrapolation based on what you’ve learned this semester. Pay careful attention to #3. That one requires that you carefully consider how enhancing the application can help it better align with member (and prospective member) business goals. The purpose of this project is to digest the material you’ve learned throughout this semester into a white paper that could be used to recruit potential business network members, as well as provide details of the rights and responsibilities of business network members. 

Your policy document should present a clear and concise description of the benefits of being a business network member, why blockchain technology provides superior benefits to solutions based on other technologies, and the onboarding process and expectations once membership is approved. The overall goal is to give you an opportunity to demonstrate that you understand how this example blockchain technology use case implementation aligns with existing, and prospective, member business goals. Your paper must be in APA format, including citations and references, but I’m not particularly concerned with the specific format you select for the paper’s body. 

Security Architecture & design

Briefly respond to all the following questions. Make sure to explain and backup your responses with facts and examples.  include at least two references.

Minimum of 600 words

simple, no plagiarism, due by 11/08/2020 1:30 PM EST

As you consider the reputation service and the needs of customers or individual consumers, as well as, perhaps, large organizations that are security conscious like our fictitious enterprise, Digital Diskus, what will be the expectations and requirements of the customers? Will consumers’ needs be different from those of enterprises? Who owns the data that is being served from the reputation service? In addition, what kinds of protections might a customer expect from other customers when accessing reputations?

Response to peers

Please write a post for the four documents with 150 words each substantive. A substantive post will do at least two of the following:

  • Ask an interesting, thoughtful question pertaining to the topic
  • Answer a question (in detail) posted by another student or the instructor
  • Provide extensive additional information on the topic
  • Explain, define, or analyze the topic in detail
  • Share an applicable personal experience
  • Provide an outside source (for example, an article from the UC Library) that applies to the topic, along with additional information about the topic or the source (please cite properly in APA)
  • Make an argument concerning the topic.

At least one scholarly source should be used in the initial discussion thread. Be sure to use information from your readings and other sources from the UC Library. Use proper citations and references in your post.
