Risks within the System Life Cycle

 Part 1: Create a list of concerns a security professional needs to ask/address in each of the eight steps of the System Life Cycle. see attached doc

 Part 2:  Research tools and resources available for supporting these processes. 

Golang chat server using Go Rpc Package

  

Requirements of Chat Server Go program:

1.  The program must be written in Go.

2. The server should be able to read short messages from clients concurrently (at the same time) and enable other participants to respond quickly. The communication should be similar to that of a spoken conversation, unlike apps such as those for forums and email.

3. Let multiple people talk at the same time on the Chat server.

4. Anything said is seen by everyone unless the sender specifies that the message is a PM (private message) and names the receiver.

5. Make the chat app extensible. To add more features we should be able to implement and export a server-side method and write a client stub which calls the exported method over RPC.

6. Test your program to see that the Request and Reply, and the PM work. Use the Go Testing program for doing this.

7. User Requests should include a Request to join the Chat Room, get and display unseen messages including PM.

8. Use the Go RPC package for implementing remote procedure calls in Go including the implementation of a client-server interface with the server by the client.

9. Register the program with an HTTP handler in the RPC package and turn the terminal program into a Web Service that handles HTTP requests through a TCP Listener. See HandleHTTP and DialHTTP in Go RPC package. 

Submit the Go source code, a ReadME file with the compile and run options that you use, and submit a file containing the sequence of input strings that you use as client messages to the Chat server. Zip the files submitted into one .zip file using 7-zip.

2 Assignments (Malware Attacks and Online Interactions)

 Assignment #1

Playbooks, sometimes known as Standing Operating Procedures (SOP) or runbooks, are used for troubleshooting common issues. They are often created by a team of employees who are trained to manage security issues. Playbooks often include bulleted lists, step-by-step instructions, or diagrams, all of which make it easy to follow troubleshooting instructions. 

Throughout the next 4 weeks, you will develop a playbook for a fictional company that hired you to write their playbooks and manage the team. The first portion of the playbook is a response to malware at the company.  

Outline a 2- to 3-page playbook in which a malware attack of your choice occurs.  

Complete the following in your outline: 

  • Provide details of the malware. 
  • Identify the exploited vulnerability and its attack vector. 
  • Analyze the vulnerability to determine 2 risks of this malware. 
  • Outline step-by-step instructions on how to resolve the malware attack. 

Remember, numbered or bulleted steps or guidelines make the document easy to for others to follow under potential stressful situations. Paragraphs can be used to help support the steps and guidelines. 

Note: You will use content from this #1 assignment as part of the #2 Signature Assignment

Assignment #2

Online interactions pose a threat to all servers. Some risks can occur when employees use social networking, web browsing, and email. Playbooks typically cover a section related to threats and defenses of online interactions.  

In this next section of your playbook, outline steps to take when an employee reports clicking on a website that appeared in an email that was received.  

Include the following information in this section: 

  • Describe 2 threats this interaction poses on the company.
  • Provide step-by-step instructions on how to mitigate each interaction. 

Remember, numbered or bulleted steps or guidelines make the document easy to for others to follow under potential stressful situations. Paragraphs can be used to help support the steps or guidelines. 

Combine This assignment #2 with your revised assignment #1 –

Cite at least 2 resources to support each assignment.

Format each assignment according to APA guidelines.

move their IT to the cloud

 

Discuss in 500 words, why institutions might be reluctant to move their IT to the cloud. Consider a specific industry like education, medicine, military, etc. 

Use at least three sources. Use the Research Databases available from the Danforth Library not Google. Include at least 3 quotes from your sources enclosed in quotation marks and cited in-line by reference to your reference list.  Example: “words you copied” (citation) These quotes should be one full sentence not altered or paraphrased. Cite your sources using APA format. Use the quotes in your paragaphs.  Stand alone quotes will not count toward the 3 required quotes.

Copying without attribution or the use of spinbot or other word substitution software will result in a grade of 0. 

Write in essay format not in bulleted, numbered or other list format. 

Do not use attachments as a submission. 

Reply to two classmates’ posting in a paragraph of at least five sentences by asking questions, reflecting on your own experience, challenging assumptions, pointing out something new you learned, offering suggestions. These peer responses are not ‘attaboys’.   You should make your initial post by Thursday evening so your classmates have an opportunity to respond before Sunday.at midnight when all three posts are due. 

It is important that you use your own words, that you cite your sources, that you comply with the instructions regarding length of your post and that you reply to two classmates in a substantive way (not ‘nice post’ or the like).  Your goal is to help your colleagues write better. Do not use spinbot or other word replacement software. It usually results in nonsense and is not a good way to learn anything. . I will not spend a lot of my time trying to decipher nonsense. Proof read your work or have it edited. Find something interesting and/or relevant to your work to write about.  Please do not submit attachments unless requested.

Module 8 – Discussion Questions

Your answers for each question must provide enough details to support your answers. Include references in APA format.

Please don’t use journals or books as references.
