Corporate IT Security Audit Compliance

1.  Discuss the importance of: “Identifying and prioritizing risks is a key component of the audit plan”. Is there a process to follow? 

2.  Discuss this statement: “Establishing baselines and identifying an acceptable level of risk across the environment provides a starting point for the actual audit”. How is this statement true? Where would you start your development of a baseline?

rom Case Project 8-6: Lake Point Security Consulting:

“Lake Point Consulting Services (LPCS) provides security consulting and assurance services to over 500 clients across a wide range of enterprises in more than 20 states. A new initiative at LPCS is for each of its seven regional offices to provide internships to students who are in
their final year of the security degree program at the local college.

Pomodoro Fresco is a regional Italian pizza chain that provides free open wireless access to its customers and secure wireless access for its staff. However, Pomodoro Fresco is concerned about the security of the WLAN. They have asked LPCS to make a presentation about wireless attacks and their options for security. LPCS has asked you to help them in the presentation.

You will create a PowerPoint presentation for a fictitious company regarding wireless security. Carefully read the case project statement and step number 1 to ensure you cover all of the requested topics. Refer to Tech Republic Article about Powerpoint (Links to an external site.) for proper use of developing presentations in PowerPoint.  I expect to see:

  • a few bulleted items on at least one slide
  • at least one applicable graphics (charts, graphs, clipart) to make the presentation interesting
  • you should have an introduction slide
  • presentation about wireless attacks and their options for security
  • a conclusion slide
  • a slide for the list of your sources
  • total of 10 to 15 slides (includes Introduction slide, Conclusion slide and Sources slide)

Infotech in a global economy

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?

Big Data Research Paper

While this weeks topic highlighted the uncertainty of Big Data, the author identified the following as areas for future research.  Pick one of the following for your Research paper:

Additional study must be performed on the interactions between each big data characteristic, as they do not exist separately but naturally interact in the real world.

The scalability and efficacy of existing analytics techniques being applied to big data must be empirically examined.

New techniques and algorithms must be developed in ML and NLP to handle the real-time needs for decisions made based on enormous amounts of data.

More work is necessary on how to efficiently model uncertainty in ML and NLP, as well as how to represent uncertainty resulting from big data analytics.

Since the CI algorithms are able to find an approximate solution within a reasonable time, they have been used to tackle ML problems and uncertainty challenges in data analytics and process in recent years.

Your paper should meet these requirements: 

Be approximately four to six pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.

Follow APA 7 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.

Support your answers with the readings from the course and at least two scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook. 

Be clearly and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing.

Discussion

 

What is the history of the network models? What are four layers of the TCP/IP Model and how are they used? How does the networking protocol work?

Search the peer-reviewed literature to identify its potential impact on networking and what measures can be put in place to minimize the effect. 

Introduction to Data Mining Final Term Paper

  

Write a 7-8-page APA formatted paper on a business problem that requires data mining, why the problem is interesting, the general approach you plan to take, what kind of data you plan to use, and finally how you plan to get the data. You should describe your problem, approach, dataset, data analysis, evaluation, discussion, references, and so on, in sufficient details, and you need to show supporting evidence in tables and/or figures. You need to provide captions for all tables and figures.

Your paper should include an abstract and a conclusion and a reference page with 3-5 references.

Reflection (R1)

Submit a 5 page paper (APA style) detailing the how Blockchain technology can be implemented to reduce ad fraud and cost while meeting consumers’ increasing expectation for excellent customer service?

Information Technology 1700

 

1 .Do you think there are security issues with hardware too, or software-based security (anti-malware, monitoring, etc.) is enough?

2. Have you have instanced where your USB flash drive works well with some systems but does not work with other systems (Windows, Linux, car MP3 player, IoT devices. etc)?

3. Another frequent situation is that you cannot copy a big file (say 6GB) onto some disks even though you have plenty of free space on the disk. 

If you never had such experience, many of us have. If you have, please, describe it. What may cause such situations? What could be a way to resolve each of those situations? What may be a tradeoff that comes with your solution?

Which is Best: Mean or Median?

 

This week you will use the Bureau of Labor Statistics website to search for income data on the occupation you are seeking.  Visit the following website:  https://www.bls.gov/bls/blswage.htm (Links to an external site.) 

The BLS has wage information for hundreds of jobs and data can also be found by state. There is much information here so take some time to browse around. 

Once you arrive at the site, complete the following steps to gather the data you need to answer the discussion questions.

Part 1

  • Search for information on your occupation by clicking on national wage data 800 occupations. This will take you to the Occupational Employment Statistics page.
  • Scroll to the bottom of that page for a table listing the major and sub-job categories. Note in the first column there is an occupation code. For example, accountants and auditors have the code 13-2011 and are listed under banking and financial operations.
  • Click on the job title to find earnings information. There you will find mean wages as well as percentiles and the 5-number summary.
  • Compare the mean and median pays. For example, the mean pay for accountants was $78,800 and the median was $70,500.
  • Record the information on percentiles, the 5-number summary, the mean and the median.

Part 2

  • Above the data on the occupation page, you will find the following links:
    • National estimates for this occupation
    • Industry profile for this occupation
    • Geographic profile for this occupation.
  • Select the geographic profile to view maps of the states.
  • Scroll down to the map that presents mean wages by state using the color code.
  • Compare the ranges of wages of the states based on the ranges presented. 
  • Identify the highest paying and lowest paying states.

 

Step 3

Include the following in your discussion post:

  • Share the information you found in steps 1 and 2.
  • Discuss your interpretation of the statistics you recorded in Part 1.
    • Percentiles
    • Mean
    • Median
  • How different are the salaries shown in the map of states?
    • What is the range for your state?
    • Would you move to another state based on this data?
    • What other statistics would you want to know before making that decision?
  • What effect do the lowest paid and highest paid states have on the calculation of the mean and median for the United States?
  • Suppose you were asked by a potential employer to request a salary. Which is the best measure to use to find “average” earnings for your occupation? Explain your answer.
