The economy is driven by data ~ Data sustains an organization’s business processes and enables it to deliver products and services. Stop the flow of data, and for many companies, business comes quickly to a halt.  Those who understand its value and have the ability to manage related risks will have a competitive advantage. No matter how well an organizations data is protected, eventually there will be a breach of security or a natural disaster.  Well prepared organizations create an incident response team (IRT). 

• Why is there a significant difference between quality assurance & quality control?
• Why does the relationship between QA/QC impact risk management?
• Why are policies needed to govern data both in transit and at rest (not being used – accessed)?
• What are some best practices YOU recommend in regards to incident response policies?
• When an incident occurs, there are a number of options that can be pursued.  Which specific action(s) would YOU recommend when assets of a low value are being attacked?

To participate in the Discussion, respond to the Discussion prompt by Day 3. Then, read a selection of your colleagues’ postings. Finally, respond to at least two classmates by Day 5 in one or more of the following ways:

• Ask a probing question.
• Share an insight from having read your colleague’s posting.
• Offer and support an opinion.
• Validate an idea with your own experience.
• Make a suggestion.
• Expand on two of your colleagues’ postings.

In a 3-5 page APA formatted paper, examine the requirements for the system engineering program you were working on during your internship. The following should be addressed in your paper

• Identify and describe the importance of the system engineering management plan (SEMP along with the risk management plan.
• Apply system engineering processes and disciplines to decompose a complex engineering problem your team has been struggling with.
• Investigate the use of model-based system engineering tool(s) to simplify the business process and find an optimal solution to the problem at hand. Be sure to include the name of the tool you are recommending and how it can help solve the problem compared to any other competitive tool.

Your paper should be formatted in the 7th edition APA style and include references as required.

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.

5. Discuss the author’s point of view and assumptions. Indicate whether unsubstantiated assumptions were made and whether there is bias that exists in the article.

6. Discuss the significance of the article. Why it is important? On what do you base your assertions?

7. Conclude your paper. Summarize the important aspects of the review.

8. References

Your paper should include 8 centered and bolded headings that correspond to each of the required sections (Introduction, Article’s Purpose and Problem, Content, Article’s Findings and Conclusions, Point of View and Assumptions, Significance, Conclusion, References).

Writing Requirements for All Written Work:

Chapter 10 – Policymakers are tasked with making decisions on issues characterized as wicked problems because of controversies, unknown relationships between causes and consequences, and uncertain futures. Moody and Gerrits (2015) think that it’s desirable to get decisions mapped ahead of the possible outcomes prior to the actual decision-making because that would generate certainty in ambiguous situations.  Looking closely at the Technological perceptions, technology is thought to revolve around humans.  It reflects on questions of who drives technology.

131307WK6B: Chapter Discussion Forum.

Chapter 10  – Policymakers are tasked with making decisions on issues characterized as wicked problems because of controversies, unknown relationships between causes and consequences, and (consequently) uncertain futures. It would be desirable to map the decisions and their possible outcomes prior to the actual decision making because that would generate certainty in ambiguous situations. Broadly speaking, this provides the motive for using computational modeling for policymaking as expressed in, e.g., policy informatics

Q2:   From this revelation, why is it more common to work with models “mod-ded off-the-shelf” (MOTS)?

• identify and name the reasons for why it’s more common to work with MOTS as above
• provide a short and clear narrative for each reason to support your responses,
• provide substantive feedback to two other colleague’s response to the DF questions,
• DON’T COPY and PASTE responses into the DF from textbooks and any other digital Internet sources,
• 1.25 points will be earned for the correct responses

 Security Compliance Goals

 What are two future trends in information systems infrastructure and how do you think they will affect the way businesses use IT to gain an advantage over their competitors? Use at least two references to justify your thinking. 

Need Minimum 300 words excluding references

 
When asked if you “accept the terms” of downloaded software, describe how clicking “yes” indicates you have entered into a contract. Discuss whether you have ever read these terms of use before you clicked and what the terms say.

• Object-oriented programming is used in all types of development projects, such as mobile development, windows development, and cloud-based service development. Explain three benefits of object-oriented programming that you have identified as essential for creating web applications. What evidence can you present that discourages the use of object-oriented programming?
• Flesh out your thoughts and interact with your classmates. Post your initial response by Wednesday each week and then return on a couple of other days to see what’s going on with the discussions. The more you interact, the more you learn from your peers, and the more you share with them about what you know. You will also be showing your instructor what you have picked up.
