Wk#7 Discussion and Research paper

  

1. Discussion:

Web server auditing can go a long way in enforcing tighter security and ensuring business continuity. The power of log data is tremendous. Web server logs record valuable information pertaining to usage, errors, and other important security events. Using a specialized auditing tool can be extremely helpful during the audit of web servers. In your discussion this week, please discuss the methods of identifying weak web server configurations and how to mitigate them for a secure web server. Possible concepts to include are SSL certificates, HTTPS usage, attack surface, SQL injection, vulnerability migration, and least privilege. In at least one of your peer responses, provide an overview of how to audit the web server’s security and implement best practices.

2. Research paper:

Develop a disaster recovery plan for an organization. There are many different templates available online for you to use as reference and guidance. Your plan should cover the following sections (these sections detail the elements in a DR plan in the sequence defined by industry compliance standards ISO 27031 and ISO 24762): 

1. Important: This section should summarize key action steps (such as where to assemble employees if forced to evacuate the building) and list key contacts with contact information for ease of authorizing and launching the plan.

2. Introduction

3. Roles and Responsibilities

4. Incident Response

5. Plan Activation

6. Document History

7. Procedures

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

· Be approximately six to eight 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 four scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook. 

· 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.

Homework 3

Please look at the word file week 3 lab assignment for Homework 

Requirement: Follow APA,  need 2 pages and NO PLAGARISM

Look at the PPTs slides of chapter 6 7 and 8 

Home work 5

 

Each student will  conduct a search online Library resources to find 1 recent peer reviewed article (within the past 3 years) that closely relates to Counter-offering in Negotiation. Your submission must include the following information in the following format:

Key Term:

  • Counter-offering in Negotiation

DEFINITION: a brief definition of the key term followed by the APA reference for the term; this does not count in the word requirement.

SUMMARY: Summarize the article in your own words- this should be in the 150-200 word range. Be sure to note the article’s author, note their credentials and why we should put any weight behind his/her opinions, research or findings regarding the key term.

ANALYSIS: Using 300-350 words, write a brief analysis, in your own words of how the article relates to the selected chapter Key Term. An analysis is not rehashing what was already stated in the article, but the opportunity for you to add value by sharing your experiences, thoughts and opinions. This is the most important part of the assignment.

REFERENCES: All references must be listed at the bottom of the submission–in APA format. 

Be sure to use the headers in your submission to ensure that all aspects of the assignment are completed as required.

Any form of plagiarism, including cutting and pasting, will result in zero points for the entire assignment.

 

You should incorporate these topics into your analysis section. If you do, then the chances of earning a high grade are GREATLY increased, in fact, this is the FIRST thing I look for when grading your papers. 

1. Explain why you selected this particular article among all the articles you could have chosen on your selected term.

2. Explain why you agree or disagree with the author’s key positions in the article. 

3. Explain how the article was easy or difficult to understand and why? 

4. What did the author do well in your opinion? Explain.

5. Describe what you believe the author could have done better in your opinion?

6. What else should the author have included in the article and would the article benefit from a different perspective (such as from a different nationality or different industry or experience perspective). Explain. 

7. What other sources or methods could the author have used to improve the research in the article?  (Hint: look up the types of qualitative and types of quantitative research methods). 

8. What information / in-depth study / or further research should the author focus on as a follow up to this article and why? 

9. Explain what audience would gain the most benefit from your selected article and how they could apply it in their professional lives. 

10. What did you personally gain from this article and how has it shaped your thinking on the topic?  

11. What are the conflicting or alternative viewpoints of the author’s position? Or  What additional research backs up and confirms or adds to the author’s position?  (Hint: this will require you to find another peer-reviewed article that challenges, confirms, or adds to, or provides a different perspective to your chosen article.)

Next,  I look for the summary, writing quality, and formatting. 

I am typically very lenient on the writing because I am more focused on your content, but I will also point out how the paper could be better written. I only heavily penalize poorly written papers when there are excessive writing problems.

Why do I grade papers in this class this way?  

One of the key differences in a Bachelor’s vs Master’s level is critical thinking. Bachelor’s level basically challenges direct knowledge and recall of information. The Master’s level is more about analysis and critical thinking and defending your position in a scholarly way. The analysis section of these papers is your opportunity to exercise critical thinking (that’s why I call this portion of your papers critiques). 

Recalling or simply explaining the journal articles is a bachelor’s level task. When I see this in your papers I give the paper an automatic C. If the paper is poorly written it also gets an F. 

To get a B or an A – you must provide a critique of the paper and the author and how well the author did and what you think of the article. The questions listed above do this properly.  

I do not want to read your version of the journal article. I may as well read the journal article for myself.  Just briefly describe the article in your summary section  – but the analysis section is where you put in your personal critique – in other words, address the questions listed above and even add in additional thoughts based on your own creativity.

1. What is an artificial neural network and for what types

of problems can it be used?

2. Compare artificial and biological neural networks. What

aspects of biological networks are not mimicked by artificial

ones? What aspects are similar?

3. What are the most common ANN architectures? For

what types of problems can they be used?

Discussion forum on chapter readings

Textbook: Tapscott, D., &Tapscott, A. (2016). Blockchain revolution: how the technology behind bitcoin is changing money, business, and the world. Penguin.

Chapter-3: Reinventing Financial Services

Discussion:

In chapter 3, the author describes eight core functions of the global financial service sector which blockchain technology will likely change. Choose one of the core functions described in chapter 3, and explain why it is important in moving today’s economy forward, and provide at least two real examples of the chosen core function being changed by blockchain technology today.

Then think of three questions you’d like to ask other students. The questions should be taken from material you read in Chapter 1, 2, or 3. You’re not trying to test each other, but you are trying to start a discussion.
