Many business environments have both visible and invisible physical security controls. You see them at the post office, at the corner store, and in certain areas of your own computing environment. They are so pervasive that some people choose where they live based on their presence, as in gated access communities or secure apartment complexes. Alison is a security analyst for a major technology corporation that specializes in data management. This company includes an in house security staff (guards, administrators, and so on) that is capable of handling physical security breaches. Brad experienced an intrusion—into his personal vehicle in the company parking lot. He asks Alison whether she observed or recorded anyone breaking into and entering his vehicle, but this is a personal item and not a company possession, and she has no control or regulation over damage to employee assets. This is understandably unnerving for Brad, but he understands that she’s protecting the business and not his belongings.

When or where would you think it would be necessary to implement security measures for both?

At least two scholarly sources should be used in the initial discussion thread. Use proper citations and references in your post.

6.  Contingency Plan – steps 9 thru 11

7.  Business Continuity Plan 5-7 pages

Research paper discussing the concept of risk modeling. Also evaluate the importance of risk models. Lastly, construct an approach to modeling various risks and evaluate how an organization may make decisions about techniques to model, measure, and aggregate risks.

Instead of assigning a traditional exam for your “Final Exam”, you will demonstrate your understanding of the importance of the final two phases of the Data Analytics Lifecycle: Communicating the Results and Operationalizing. You have studied various analytic methods, along with surveying various available tools and techniques. But as a Data Scientist, you must also communicate what your team has accomplished.

For your Final “Exam”, you will create a Final Sponsor Presentation. You have been hired by Aetna to use big data to improve patient health. The case study you will use can be found at: https://gigaom.com/2012/11/20/how-aetna-is-using-big-data-to-improve-patient-health/ .

Top 50 countries life expectancy and population size, 

* Compare the top 50 countries and the least happiness 10 countries. 

Graphs to visualize:  

line chart of life expectancy for all countries 

line chart of population size for all countries

*bar graph of regions versus life expectancy 

* Calculate Correlation and linear regression between: Happiness and life expectancy  and Happiness and population. 

Answer the following questions:

Are there some regions that seem to live longer or less than others? Do these countries have a lower or happier happiness score?

Is there a relationship in population size to happiness or not?

Write- up summarizing major findings; short description to each question & plots 

Must use Python, Pandas, Matplotlib to analyze and visualize data.
