 According to the authors, privacy and security go hand in hand; and hence, privacy cannot be protected without implementing proper security controls and technologies. Today, organizations must make not only reasonable efforts to offer protection of privacy of data, but also must go much further as privacy breaches are damaging to its customers, reputation, and potentially could put the company out of business.  As we continue learning from our various professional areas of practice, its no doubt that breaches have become an increasing concern to many businesses and their future operations.   

For this discussion, find an example of a security breach which compromised data records at a company in the same industry as you will be using in your final paper. Summarize the breach, discuss the data that was lost and identify security controls that you would recommend be in place (be certain to remember to cite sources) that could have prevented this breach from occurring. 

 At least one scholarly source should be used in the initial discussion thread. Be sure to use information from your readings and other sources from the UC Library

has not been implemented. The project is to implement this rule.

I have not put a limit on file uploads, so you can submit a work in progress (WIP) and upload an improved version later, up till the due date.

This week select an organization that has a Global platform (they operate in more than one country), that has demonstrated operational excellence.  In this paper, perform the following activities:

• Name the organization and briefly describe what good or service they sell and where they operate.
• Note how they are a differentiator in the market.
• Note the resources used to ensure success in their industry (remember resources are comprised of more than just people).
• Explain what actions the company took to achieve operational excellence.

The above submission should be three pages in length.  Remember the total length does not include the APA approved cover page or the references.  There should be at least three APA approved references to support your work. 

Complete the assignment using narrative paragraphs and explain your thoughts and findings in detail. Adhere to APA format requirements and do not use lists or bullets. Break up areas in your paper by using headings IAW APA format. Use Times New Roman 12 font, double-spaced. Include a coversheet with your name, class ID and the title of the assignment. Your submission needs to be at least three (3)  pages in length. The coversheet, figures, tables, and reference list doesn’t count toward the page count. Include at least three (3) APA approved references to support your work. Post the assignment as one MS Word document by the due date in the syllabus. Do not submit any other format such as PDF.Information Systems Business and Beyond

The chart you select to represent your data will be influenced by many factors. Kirk (2016) has put each chart into the five main families below:

•             Categorical: Comparing categories and distributions of quantities values

•             Hierarchical: Charting part-to-whole relationships and hierarchies

•             Relational: Graphing relationships to explore correlations and connections

•             Temporal: Showing trends and activities over time

•             Spatial: Mapping spatial patterns through overlays and distortions

Select a chart type from the text and discuss what the chart is used for and why you selected it.

 What’s simple random sampling? Is it possible to sample data instances using a distribution different from the uniform distribution? If so, give an example of a probability distribution of the data instances that is different from uniform (i.e., equal probability). 

TOPIC- Advantech – WebAccess (SCADA)

OVERVIEW

A key objective of any academic program is the refinement and reinforcement of strong communication skills. 

The same ability of a cyber security professional to compile information and present findings, observations, and recommendations in a clear, 

concise, and understandable manner is equally important. 

It is for these reasons that a requirement exists for the successful completion of this course to perform research centering on a 

specific automation vendor and their industrial solution offering and compile a paper summarizing the findings in a form of security assessment.

The paper will focus on selecting a company and one of their industrial control system offerings. 

Solutions are often aligned to specific industry sectors and customer bases. These solutions should be understood to then look at vulnerabilities

that have been disclosed targeting these systems. Equally important is the impact to the business operations of the end-user or asset owner should 

any of these vulnerabilities be exploiting – either intentionally or accidentally.

It is essential to evaluate the unmitigated risks associated with these vulnerabilities and develop a recommended list of actions that would help the asset 

owner in mitigating some of these risk in order to improve the operational integrity of their cyber-physical systems.

1-The paper shall be at least five (6) and no more than ten (10) pages in length excluding figures, tables, and references. 

2-The paper shall be formatted using an 11-point font of either Arial, Helvetica, or Times Roman type using 1″ margins on the sides and double-spacing between 

3-lines with 0.5″ indentation on first line of paragraphs. 

4-The paper shall be written using the APA style guide seventh edition published in October 2019. Online guidance can be viewed at https://apastyle.apa.org.

5-All tables and figures shall be captioned and specifically referenced in the body of the document. 

6-All references shall be stated and included as endnotes in this paper. Citations must meet the following requirements:

7-No more than two (2) citations shall be from Wikipedia

8-At least two (2) references shall be from United States government sites (e.g. CISA, NIST)

9-At least two (2) references from vendor web (html) or printed (pdf) material

10-At least two (2) references shall be from independent sources including but not limited to

   News Media Outlets (e.g. Reuters, Washington Post, Wired, CSOOnline)

   Industry Publications (e.g. Automation, ISSSource, Control)

   Trade Sources (e.g. Oil and Gas Journal, ChemWeek, PharmaTimes)

   Security Solution Providers (e.g. McAfee, Trend Micro, Dragos, Claroty) to name several.

 Grading for term research paper and associated presentation will be based on the following metrics:

     20% = Ideas and Analysis

     20% = Organization

     20% = Development and Support

     10% = Style

     20% = Mechanics

     10% = miselaneous

The term research paper should be logically divided into sections that follow sound research paper style and address each of the following areas. 

You are free to organization the paper and presentation as appropriate,

 however a template has been provided for both the paper and presentation to help start the initial paper structure.

The section titles (paper) and slide titles (presentation) in the templates are for reference only.

Your paper shall address and develop each of the following items:

1-System overview (textual) and architecture (graphical) covering devices and network topology explaining the function of each of the key assets

2-Communication protocols used by the system

3-Industry sectors that use the system

4-Vulnerabilities publicly disclosed for the system and the publication of any exploitation packages

5-Potential or actual impact of the vulnerabilities discovered to the industry sectors served

5-Cyber security measures taken by the vendor to secure the system

7-Additional cyber security measures that could be taken by the end-user user if the vendor recommendations are not feasible (e.g. an upgrade could not be performed in a timely manner)
