Laux, J. (2012). Topics in finance part IX–working capital management. American Journal of Business Education (Online), Iss 5 Vol 6, p633

In this article, Laux highlights the importance of importance of a master budget with respect to the overall working capital of the company. In addition to providing a snap shot of the overall accounting framework of the company, the master budget serves as a guiding light for executives in case of mergers, acquisitions and estimating future revenue. The overarching master budget also serves as a frame work for executives to identify sub-entities within the organization and their economic performance over a period of time.

Assignment Content

1. Refer to NIST SP 800-53 (Rev. 4) for the 18 candidate security control families and associated security controls.

   Security Assessment must be incorporated into the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) in order to be a secure, integrated process. Testing of selected security controls ensures that applications meet business requirements, function as planned, and protect associated data securely from attack. A security assessment of the targeted environment identifies vulnerabilities that may cause a security breach and specifies the security controls that mitigate the vulnerabilities.

   For this assignment, use the organization you chose in Week 1.

   Part I: Mapping Vulnerabilities to Security Controls
   Choose 5 distinct security control families as specified in NIST SP 800-53 (Rev. 4) that are most applicable to your organization’s known vulnerabilities.

   Create a 1-page spreadsheet in Microsoft® Excel® that identifies the following criteria for each family:

   • Control ID
   • Control Name
   • Vulnerability
   • Recommended mitigation (refer to your Week 3 assignment; refine them for this mitigation)
   • Part II: Security Controls Testing
     Provide a 2- to 3-page table in Microsoft Word including each family, and describe the testing procedure that will mitigate the vulnerability. Annotate whether the testing procedure is an interview, observation, technical test, or a combination.

     Example of Security Controls Testing Table:
     

     Part III: Penetration Testing and Vulnerability Scanning
     Provide a 1-page description of penetration testing and vulnerability scanning processes.

     Describe how they are used as part of the organization’s testing and assessment strategy.

     Format your citations according to APA guidelines.

     Submit your assignment.

      

By now you are familiar on how FOOTPRINTING works and how it is used to gather information of lost objects like cars or electronics from the above video recording and you now have an idea as to how to conduct a digital investigative project. 

For this assignment, you are asked to develop your own crime scenario. Explain the incident that occurred, and then list the steps you would follow to solve this case using footprinting (examples might include: a lost child, an unauthorized charge on your credit card, an unidentified charge made with your EZ PASS, etc.). Take one example from above and write your assignment.

Your assignment should consist of 2-3 paragraphs in about 350 words. Plagiarism score of more than 15 would give you 0. You can easily avoid this by rephrasing the contents and summarizing it using your own words. No inline citations are required, but include you reference at the end with hyperlink.

Do you feel that countries and companies need explicit strategies for technology development, given the tremendous amount of largely spontaneous creativity that occurs today, often in areas where new technologies are not expected to exert a great influence.  Why or why not?

2019 Georgia Cyberattacks

You are assigned with the task of writing a 1500-2000 word critical analysis academic paper on the incident response and disaster recovery of a specific cybersecurity incident. You will find your assigned cyberattack/breach in the list below. Your paper must analyze how the targeted/victim organization detected, responded to, and recovered from the attack. Your paper must include the following:

1. It must be 1500-2000 words not including the references (you will lose marks if you exceed or fail to meet the wordcount by). 

2. It must be an original work of your own research and writing skills, free of plagiarism. 

3. It must be in the ieee format with correct citations and references. 

4. It must be written in professional academic language free of colloquialisms but also written so that a reader with an unknown level of knowledge (such as a C level executive, a board member, or manager) can understand your meaning, argument, and purpose. 

5. You must use reliable sources. i.e. Trusted verifiable web resources (i.e. legitimate websites, news resources, white papers, peer reviewed works such as books, conference papers, reports journal articles, etc) NOT Wikipedia or personal blogs. 

6. Your paper must have an introduction with a clearly stated thesis (an argument statement that tells the reader the point you will make. For example, XYZ company’s response to the ABC cyberattack was poorly managed due to a lack of communication or 123 Corp prevented severe financial losses due to their incident response handling). The introduction is the roadmap/outline to your paper. Following the introduction there must be a body containing the history of the attack/breach and an analysis of the incident that supports and proves your thesis. Lastly, you must write a conclusion that states how you have proven your argument and why it matters to Contingency Planning (IRP, BCP, DRP). The written part of the paper must be followed by a properly formatted list of references.

 For your first AT-Robot programming assignment, I’d like to focus on: ● ensuring you can get a working AT-Robot simulation up and running from the AT-Robot/DOSBox bundle on our class website ● follow the video lectures about the architecture, instructions, assembly style, ports and constants To that end, rather than authoring a program from scratch, I have provided a file, “prog3.at2” for you. It does not contain a working program; instead, it contains a ton of comments telling you what code to write at each line. The idea is that I wrote a program, then commented every detail, then erased my code so you can reconstruct the code yourself, line by line. For every comment you see that starts with a single semicolon (‘;’), figure out a single instruction that could be put in front of the comment to do exactly that. These comments begin either at the left edge of the file or are a single tab from the left. This indicates whether the line of code you write should be to the left or exactly one tab from the left. Remember that in our assembly programs we NEVER use multiple tabs for indentation. Lines that begin with three semicolons, should be left alone. The three semicolons don’t mean anything special, they’re just something I came up with to let you know not to mess with them so they end up in the final program. Additionally, as commented, at the   top of the file is a #msg directive for the assembler. whatever is written there will be printed out in your robot’s status area during matches. please modify this to your first initial followed by last name with no spaces. I’ve also posted an encrypted version of a working bot (“amos.atl”) so you can see how it should behave when working correctly. A short description might be that it wiggles forward until it hits something and sweeps backward while shooting to avoid getting stuck on walls. Upload only your .at2 file.
