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?

Complete Chapter 10 Case Project 4 “Installation Troubleshooting at North Jetty Manufacturing” (page 496 in print text).  Find a PRODUCT to recommend for each scenario.  (For example, taking frequent breaks from the computer might be a good idea if someone is experiencing discomfort, but there are also ergonomic products which might help the situation.  You are to find one or more of those products for each of the six scenarios.)  For each of the problems listed, include not only your product recommendation, but also the URL that directly takes the reader to the product you are recommending on the Web. (Do not include a URL to the home page of the supplier, but rather the complete URL that links directly to the one product you are recommending.) Also include a link to a web site of reviews of that product. (If the reviews are on the same page as the product itself, note that in your memo).

Make CERTAIN that your document is in the form of a memo to Candace Van Camp, as stated in your textbook. (There is a business memo template in Microsoft Word, if you need help with memo format).

Spelling, grammar, correct citations, and content will all influence your project grade.

Anyone here good with photoshop and illustration design to do those type of assignments?

WEEK 3 DISCUSSION
WELCOME to the discussion for WEEK 3. Please respond in complete sentences for each question, unless directed to do otherwise, demonstrating in your reply that you have read the material in order to receive full credit. Please note that participating in this discussion counts toward your class participation grade.

DISCUSSION
This week, we will discuss Week 3’s reading assignments. Our discussion will focus on how we manage tables, lists, and references in MS Word.  When you need to present facts and figures in a document, using columns or tables is often more efficient than describing the data in a paragraph, particularly when the data consists of numeric values. Microsoft Word has a simple built-in reference function at the References tab. Here you can manually enter references and refer to them in the text and create a bibliography.

As the new technical communications manager for International Gadgets (IG), you have developed a good idea of the various internal and external audiences for communications across the enterprise.

You have learned that IG is organized into five main areas consisting of Research & Development (R&D), Manufacturing, Sales & Marketing, Technical Support, and Finance/Accounting. Each area has its own structure:

• R&D – New Product Development and Product Enhancement teams
• Manufacturing – Detroit, Shanghai, and Purchasing teams
• Sales & Marketing – U.S. Sales, U.S. Marketing, European Sales, European Marketing, Partner Management, and Online Sales teams
• Technical Support – the exception, as there is only a single team handling this function
• Finance/Accounting – Corporate Finance and Corporate Accounting teams
• Human Resources – Corporate HR team with ties to HR representatives at each work site

In addition to the internal departments, IG staff interface with a wide range of external entities and individuals including customers (large accounts, individuals via web sales), distribution partners, component suppliers, subcontractors (design and occasional manufacturing). IG also contracts with Amazon to handle all its product logistics—warehousing, packaging and shipping, and returns.

However, you have noticed that different audiences do not always have the same needs from similar announcements. For example, a communication announcing the launching of a new product means different things to different departments.

In a memo to your communications team, instruct them on ways to discover the needs of the stakeholders in different areas of the company so that a new product announcement will be relevant to them.

Please remember to refer to the Module One Memo Guidelines and Rubric document for company background.

For additional details, please refer to the Module Five Memo Guidelines and Rubric document.

Learn About creating good password security.

An IT Security consultant has made three primary recommendations regarding passwords:

1. Prohibit guessable passwords such as common names, real words, numbers only require special characters and a mix of caps, lower case and numbers in passwords

2. Reauthenticate before changing passwords user must enter old pw before creating new one

3. Make authenticators unforgeable do not allow email or user ID as password

Using WORD, write a brief paper of 200-300 words explaining each of these security recommendations.  Do you agree or disagree with these recommendations? Would you change, add or delete any of these?  Add additional criteria as you see necessary.
