Assignment

 

Faced with the need to deliver risk ratings for your organization, you will have to substitute the organization’s risk preferences for your own. For, indeed, it is the organization’s risk tolerance that the assessment is trying to achieve, not each assessor’s personal risk preferences.

 What is the risk posture for each particular system as it contributes to the overall risk posture of the organization?

How does each attack surface – its protections if any, in the presence (or absence) of active threat agents and their capabilities, methods, and goals through each situation—add up to a system’s particular risk posture?

In addition, how do all the systems’ risks sum up to an organization’s computer security risk posture?

Portfolio Project

This week’s written activity is a three- part activity. You will respond to three separate prompts but prepare your paper as one research paper. Be sure to include at least one UC library source per prompt, in addition to your textbook (which means you’ll have at least 4 sources cited). 

Start your paper with an introductory paragraph.

Prompt 1 “Data Warehouse Architecture” (2-3 pages): Explain the major components of a data warehouse architecture, including the various forms of data transformations needed to prepare data for a data warehouse. Also, describe in your own words current key trends in data warehousing. 

Prompt 2 “Big Data” (2-3 pages): Describe your understanding of big data and give an example of how you’ve seen big data used either personally or professionally. In your view, what demands is big data placing on organizations and data management technology? 

Prompt 3 “Green Computing” (2-3 pages):  One of our topics in Chapter 13 surrounds IT Green Computing. The need for green computing is becoming more obvious considering the amount of power needed to drive our computers, servers, routers, switches, and data centers. Discuss ways in which organizations can make their data centers “green”. In your discussion, find an example of an organization that has already implemented IT green computing strategies successfully. Discuss that organization and share your link. You can find examples in the UC Library.

Conclude your paper with a detailed conclusion section. 

The paper needs to be approximately 7-10 pages long, including both a title page and a references page (for a total of 9-12 pages). Be sure to use proper APA formatting and citations to avoid plagiarism.

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

• Be approximately seven to ten pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.

• Follow APA6 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, the course textbook, and at least three scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook. The UC Library is a great place to find supplemental 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.

Assignment

Research a recent cyber-attack (within the last year) and using the Attack Case Study outlined in our text In Section 2.3.3 write a paper (do not write an outline, just use the “items” provided in the outline within your APA v6 essay format paper) detailing the attack. Minimum length 600 words not counting cover page or reference page.

Client Side Web Programming

  

PART 1 (20 points): Gather data from Itunes Feed

https://itunes.apple.com/rss can generate RSS feeds for many different products in the iTunes store. For this project, we will be using the topsongs feed. The general URL for topsongs is:

https://itunes.apple.com/CODEFORCOUNTRY/rss/topsongs/limit=NUMBEROFTOPSONGS/xml 

where CODEFORCOUNTRY can be “us” for United States or “ng” for Nigeria or “tr” for Turkey and NUMBEROFTOPSONGS can be in the range of 10-300.

Write Javascript using jQuery to display the following information from the XML feed to an HTML page:

a. The title of the song (3 points)

b. The name of the artist (3 points)

c. The album of the song (4 points)

d. The image associated with the song (Note that there are 3 images of different size, choose one size only) (5 points)

e. The link to audio clip (5 points) (Note that there are two link tags. Choose one.)

You can get any other information from the feed that is of interest to you. WK13 exercise will be helpful.

PART 2 (5 points): Play Audio Clips

This part requires you to teach yourself how to use the audio tag. Based on your HTML knowledge, you should be able to figure this out. For reference, look here: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_audio.asp 

PART 3 (20 points): Add User Interaction (UI)

Add the following to your HTML & JavaScript:

a. A drop down menu to choose the top songs of one of three countries of your choice. Of the three countries, choose one country (non-English speaking) whose song you have never heard. WK11 PPT slides will be helpful. (3)

b. Use a slider widget to choose the number of songs to display with a range of 5-30. WK11 exercise/demoWidgets will be helpful. (6)

c. Javascript/jQuery code to take user input and update the following link where the value for CODEFORCOUNTRY will be taken from (a) and the value for NUMBEROFTOPSONGS will be taken from (b) (8)

https://itunes.apple.com/CODEFORCOUNTRY/rss/topsongs/limit=NUMBEROFTOPSONGS/xml 

d. A button when clicked will parse/read the itunes feed (3)

For every search, make sure you clear the div section where you are displaying the song information.

PART 4 (10 points): Use the YouTube API

Here is the YOUTUBE API link where searchTerm, SomeNumber and YOUR_API_KEY need to be filled:

https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?q=searchTerm&part=snippet&maxResults=SomeNumber&type=video&key=YOUR_API_KEY 

For each song in the itunes feed, create a search term from the data you collected from the RSS feed. What would be an appropriate search term? What would be an appropriate number for maxResults? 

Parse/read the data you get from the YOUTUBE API to get the id of the video. Use the id to create a clickable link to the youtube video. For example, if the id is “RFinNxS5KN4”, then the link will be “http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=” + id. Do not embed the video. 

Create the HTML to display the video link including all other information you gathered from the itunes feed earlier. Make sure you append the HTML within the function that parses/reads the YOUTUBE API data. WK13 exercise will be very helpful.

Error Checking: When a video id of a song is not found, instead of displaying a youtube link, print that the video for that song was not found. Test and make sure this works by searching for something that will return no result.

Code Comments (5 points)

Include comments to your code- both HTML and JavaScript. Comments should be accurate and detailed enough so that anyone who reads your code will be able to understand the program without any explanation from you. Another way to think about it is that if you read this code one year from now, you should be able to understand what the program does. If there are any issues with your code or quirks that I should be aware of during grading, include them in a readme.txt file. 

Creativity (10 points)

Add your own creative style to the webpage- make it your own and impress yourself! However, do keep in mind that other people would be using the webpage (in this case, me!) so keep the colors, font size, layout, graphics etc. readable and usable. Do not choose red font on a blue background for example.

Practical Connection

 

For this assignment, please complete the following:

Fall 2020 – Analyzing & Visualizing Data

Kirk (2019) states composition is reviewing every visual property of the design.  The final layer of design thinking concerned composition: how to position, arrange and size all the chart elements, interactive controls and annotated components across the entire project and the construction decisions within each chart. Meeting the optimum readability and meeting the intent of the project is the objective. Dividing composition into project-level and chart-level composition options can help review and address areas of opportunities.

The scenario – you have just been hired at the company that has only been in business for 6 months.  The position was open due to the previous employee asked to resign due to performance issues.  You are now the designer for the new visual the previous employee was developing.  You must developing new composition choices in the face of having to accommodate new contextual factors listed below.  Provide two project-level and two chart-level composition options to address each topic listed below and provide the reasoning for each option.

1.           You had to demonstrate the worst possible data visualization composition practices in the same physical space/size. In other words what is the worst practice in a scenario where you are limited to an assigned physical space / size for the visual

2.           You had to force yourself to use as small a space as reasonably possible

3.           You have to transpose the work from landscape > portrait or vice-versa

4.           The initial data provided includes scales that will not fit onto one page, but a refresh of the data is indicating a change is needed

5.           The trustworthiness of the entire project is being questioned by upper management

Your research paper should be at least 3 pages (900 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.
