Fireboy and Watergirl are an exciting series of adventure games developed by Oslo Albet and Jan Villanueva. 

Fire, Water, Forest, Ice, Light, Wind, and Crystal, seven brand new temples for the official Fireboy and Watergirl series. 

In each temple the boy and girl must run and jump between fire and water, you should know that Fireboy is immune to fire, so he can step freely in pools of boiling lava, but he must be careful from stepping into the water. 

Watergirl is resistant to pools of water but gets hurt when stepping in the lava. 

Let us join with two main characters on the journey to remote, dangerous temples, to seek unimaginable wealth. 

The temple is full of sparkling diamonds waiting to be discovered only by the bravest. 

Solve the puzzles, beat the times, and collect all the diamonds! 

What are you waiting for? 

Update Fireboy and Watergirl full series.

Use the W-A-S-D keys to control the Watergirl.

Use the Arrow keys to control the Fireboy.

Option #1: XYZ Corporation

XYZ Corporation is a small organization of roughly 20 to 30 employees working in a simple office space using basic peer-to-peer type networking in which all employees keep their data on their own PCs and each has his or her own devices (i.e., printers, scanners, and other peripherals).

In the last few months, XYZ developed a revolutionary widget that will change technology as we know it. The company received a substantial investment and will quickly ramp up to 100 employees. They moved into a new building that was wired and set up for a local area network (LAN). They have implemented a client server-based network in which all printers, folders, and other resources are shared but everyone has access to everything and there is no security outside of the defaults in place when the system was set up.

You have been hired to secure XYZ Inc’s network and ensure that the company has the highest levels of security to prevent internal or external attacks. In an 8-10 page proposal, address the following items to provide a comprehensive secure environment:

1. A plan to provide secure Access Control Methods for all user access
2. A viable Password policy, which includes complexity, duration, and history requirements
3. A cryptography method to ensure vital data is encrypted
4. A remote access plan to ensure that users that access the network remotely do so in a secure and efficient manner
5. A thorough plan to protect the network from Malware and other Malicious attacks

Your proposal should address all of the elements noted above with support, detail, and elaboration for each section explicitly grounded in knowledge from the assigned readings and media, along with any outside sources you may choose to bring into your writing. Your paper should be 8-10 pages in length, conform to the CSU Global Writing Center (Links to an external site.), and include 3-5 scholarly references in addition to the course textbook to support your views. The CSU Global Library is a good place to find these references.

Figure 8.1 Business analytics logical data flow diagram (DFD).

Consider the data flow “octopus,” as shown in Figure 8.1, Business analytics logical data flow, from your textbook. How can the analysis system gather data from all these sources that, presumably, are protected themselves?

Mindset

To help you add more insights into other issues that you need to address you need to think about your topic as if your manager told you that you needed to fix the issue and answer the following questions:
