The IT industry is always evolving and IT plays a very important role in business. Several of the technology companies that have dominated IT are Fortune 500 and even Fortune Global 500 organizations bringing in billions of dollars in revenue. Companies like IBM and HP started as hardware vendors, but now have ventured into software, and other areas of IT. Their contributions have shaped the IT industry. 

For this assignment, you will choose one of the IT industry leaders discussed in the Week One Lecture and create an analysis of that company. Include the following elements in your analysis supporting your statements using the required sources for this assignment. **I CHOSE MICROSOFT**

Explain how the organization started in the IT industry.

Explain the current state of the organization.

 1.”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.

Predish Real Estate and Auction (PREA) buys and sells high-end residential and commercial real estate across a multistate region. One of the tools that PREA offers is a sophisticated online website that allows potential buyers to take virtual tours of properties. However, PREA’s site was recently compromised by attackers who defaced the site with malicious messages, causing several customers to threaten to withdraw their listings. PREA’s senior management has demanded a top-to-bottom review of their security by an independent third party. LPCS has been hired to perform the review, and they have contracted with you to work on this project.

The first task is to perform a vulnerability assessment of PREA. Create a PowerPoint presentation for the president and his staff about the steps in a vulnerability assessment. List in detail the actions under each step and what PREA should expect in the assessment. Your presentation should contain at least 10 slides” (Ciampa, 605).

2. Create a one-page document of a personal disaster recovery procedure for your home computer. Be sure to include what needs to be protected and why. Also include information about where your data backups are stored and how they can be retrieved. Does your DRP show that what you are doing to protect your assets is sufficient? Should any changes be made?” (Ciampa 649). 

1. What is an artificial neural network and for what types of problems can it be used?

2. Compare artificial and biological neural networks. What aspects of biological networks are not mimicked by artificial ones? What aspects are similar?

3. What are the most common ANN architectures? For what types of problems can they be used?

4. ANN can be used for both supervised and unsupervised learning. Explain how they learn in a supervised mode and in an unsupervised mode.

5. Go to Google Scholar (scholar.google.com). Conduct a search to find two papers written in the last five years that compare and contrast multiple machine-learning methods for a given problem domain. Observe commonalities and differences among their findings and prepare a report to summarize your understanding.

6. Go to neuroshell.com. Look at Gee Whiz examples.Comment on the feasibility of achieving the results claimed by the developers of this neural network model.  (go to  neuroshell.com click on the examples and look at the current examples listed, the Gee Whiz example is no longer on the page)
