Please write a post for the two documents with 150 words each substantive. A substantive post will do at least two of the following:

• Ask an interesting, thoughtful question pertaining to the topic
• Answer a question (in detail) posted by another student or the instructor
• Provide extensive additional information on the topic
• Explain, define, or analyze the topic in detail
• Share an applicable personal experience
• Provide an outside source (for example, an article from the UC Library) that applies to the topic, along with additional information about the topic or the source (please cite properly in APA)
• Make an argument concerning the topic.

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. Use proper citations and references in your post.

R is a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. It is a GNU project which is similar to the S language and environment which was developed at Bell Laboratories (formerly AT&T, now Lucent Technologies) by John Chambers and colleagues. R can be considered as a different implementation of S. There are some important differences, but much code written for S runs unaltered under R.

Why are statistical programming languages important to data scientists? What are some advantages and disadvantages the R programming language has over the other main statistical programming languages (i.e. Python, SAS, SQL)?

Discussion Length (word count): At least 250 words (not including direct quotes).

References: At least three peer-reviewed, scholarly journal references.

Discuss, in your own words using 500 words or more, how the business process as a service (BPaaS) reduces the risk for commercial enterprises. 

 Cite your sources. Do not copy. Write in essay format not in bulleted, numbered or other list format.  

In chapter 6, the author describes basic components of a business network. Create a new thread, choose one of the types of participants discussed in chapter 6, and explain how you think the chosen participant type could effectively use assets in an enterprise blockchain environment to impact the organization’s outcomes.

Then think of three questions you’d like to ask other students and add these to the end of your thread. The questions should be taken from material you read in Chapter 5 or 6. You’re not trying to test each other, but you are trying to start a discussion. 

You must do the following:

1) Create a new thread. As indicated above, choose one of the types of participants discussed in chapter 6, and explain how you think the chosen participant type could effectively use assets in an enterprise blockchain environment to impact the organization’s outcomes. Then think of three questions you’d like to ask other students and add these to the end of your thread. The questions should be taken from material you read in Chapter 5 or 6. You’re not trying to test each other, but you are trying to start a discussion.

2) Select AT LEAST 3 other students’ threads and post substantive comments on those threads. Your comments should answer AT LEAST one of the questions posed in the thread and extend the conversation started with that thread. Make sure that you include the question in your comment so I can see what question you’re answering.

ALL original posts and comments must be substantive AND ORIGINAL. (I’m looking for about a paragraph – not just a short answer.) Do not plagiarize!! Use your own words.

The discussions in this class exist to simulate face-to-face discussions. To reach that goal, we will adhere to the 3CQ model. After posting each thread, you will post at least 3 comments on other students’ threads, and each comment must conform to the 3CQ model (Compliment, Comment, Connect, Question). This model encourages discussions that extend class learning and participation.

Here is a description of the 3CQ model:

1.            Compliment – Start off positive. Compliment the person on something specific you have read or observed in the person’s blog post.  For example:

• Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I really liked …

2.            Comment – Comment on something relevant and meaningful about what the person wrote. Be specific! Remember your comment might not always be agreement. You can “politely” disagree.  For example:   

• I agree with you about …
• I respect your opinion, but I think …

3.            Connect – Connect with something the person wrote (Text-to-Self, Text-to-Text, Text-to-World). Explain your connection with details giving your audience a clear idea of what you’re talking about by using sensory details.   For example:

• I can connect with you about …
• I once read a story about …
• I had the same thing happen to me…

4.            Question – Ask a specific question about something written or the writer. Keep the conversation going!

Remember that ALL discussions must use the 3CQ approach to interaction.

Chapter 14  case study provides a broad spectrum of issues—both opportunities and potential threats—that arise from creating growth opportunities. Many risks can be explored and debated as part of various approaches to enterprise risk management (ERM), including using strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis and risk profiles.

For this discussion, consider the following two questions:

How do Zurich ERM tools help them better understand their existing and emerging risks?

Why is it important to include a Business Resilience program in your organization’s ERM program?

Your team currently works as a research wing for a standard SOC (Security Operations Center).  The SOC keeps analytics on the current trends within the network.  Your team will be assigned a current issue that has been seen at the border of the network, trying to infiltrate the organizations network/systems.  Upon being assigned your item, it will be your job to go out and search OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) for more information on the attack being observed.  This could be a single port number(Port22), a series of attacks that has been identified, or an IP address to research and identify.  Your deliverable will be a 5 page APA style research report with your findings.  Discover current attacks being performed through this port, or current state of a known scanning suite.  Find sources, if possible, source code of attacks that are known to exploit this weakness and break down the code.  List known services on the affected ports that are associated and current attacks being performed on these services (list any CVE findings and briefly list and explain).  Look at SNORT rules that watch for these attacks and list that SID.

Finally, to wrap-up your research, present the current risk level associated with this threat.  Use the FAIR methodology to derive your threat assessment.  The attached FAIR PDF will walk you through your analysis.  To complete the FAIR document:

· Step 1:  Asset at Risk will be the organization’s primary e-commerce web server.

· Step 2:  You will provide this answer based on your research.

· Step 3:  You will provide this answer based on your research; however, keep in mind how many times per day this is scanning the network, which will be given to your when you receive your topic.

· Step 4:  You will provide this answer based on your research.

· Step 5:  Assume the e-Commerce server is fully up-to-date and running the following base software:  Red Hat Linux, Apache, MariaDB, Drupal, PHP and is hardened based on base NIST recommendations for operations.

· Step 6-7:  Calculate

· Step 8:  Assume Moderate

· Step 9:  Assume Moderate

· Step 10:  Calculate and create this chart in excel with the appropriate item highlighted.  Include this chart in your paper and presentation.

1. Create a directory for the Javascript challenge. Use the folder names to correspond to the challenges: UFO-level-1 and UFO-level-2.
2. Add your html files to this folder as well as your static folder containing your javascript. This will be the main script to run for analysis.

Level 1: Automatic Table and Date Search 

• Create a basic HTML web page or use the index.html file provided (we recommend building your own custom page!).
• Using the UFO dataset provided in the form of an array of JavaScript objects, write code that appends a table to your web page and then adds new rows of data for each UFO sighting.
  • Make sure you have a column for date/time, city, state, country, shape, and comment at the very least.
• Use a date form in your HTML document and write JavaScript code that will listen for events and search through the date/time column to find rows that match user input.

Level 2: Multiple Search Categories 

• Complete all of Level 1 criteria.
• Using multiple input tags and/or select dropdowns, write JavaScript code so the user can to set multiple filters and search for UFO sightings using the following criteria based on the table columns:
  1. date/time
  2. city
  3. state
  4. country
  5. shape
