1. A Singapore company manufactures 50-inch and 75-inch rear projection television sets. Each 50-inch set contributes $200 to profits and each 75-inch set contributes $475 to profits. The company has purchase commitments for 500 50-inch sets and 200 75-inch sets for the next month so they want to make at least that many. Although they think they can sell all the 50-inch sets that they could currently make, they do not think they can sell more than 375 75-inch sets. Their factory capacity allows them to make only 975 sets of both sizes total. Formulate as a linear programming problem.

2. National Credit Union has $200,000 available to invest in a 12-month commitment. The money can be placed in Treasury notes yielding an 6 % return or municipal bonds yielding an average rate of return of 8 %. Credit union regulations require diversification to the extent that no more 30% of the investment be placed in Treasury notes. Because of defaults in such municipalities as Cleveland and New York, it is decided that at least 20% of the investment be place in bonds. Formulate as a linear programming problem.

In this final week of your internship, your rotation assignment takes you back to the Chief of Staff’s Office where you started out seven weeks ago.

Among other things, the Chief of Staff’s organization is responsible for organizing meetings and providing support to the various internal governance boards and executive committees that comprise the internal governance infrastructure. Last week, you had a brief introduction to the work of one of these boards — the IT Governance board — when you helped the Chief Financial Officer and CFO staff put together a briefing to inform the board’s members about a technology problem. 

The work of the company’s governance boards and committees is extremely important since these groups plan, design, negotiate, implement and provide oversight for the processes, policies, procedures, and other mechanisms used to guide,  monitor, control, and assess the operations of the company. Each board is comprised of executives who each represent their functional areas or a group of internal stakeholders. Usually, there is a chair position that rotates among the members. If you would like to learn more about corporate governance in general, Deloitte’s report Developing an effective governance operating model: A guide for financial services boards and management teams provides a brief but comprehensive overview (see https://www2.deloitte.com/content/dam/Deloitte/global/Documents/Financial-Services/dttl-fsi-US-FSI-Developinganeffectivegovernance-031913.pdf). You may also find this article What is a management system?, from the International Standards Organization, helpful as it explains what a management system is and why standards are needed to define repeatable steps that organizations can use to ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of their management activities.

The IT Governance board operates under authority delegated by the corporate governance board. This board’s charter gives it responsibility for governance, risk management, and compliance management (GRC) for corporate IT processes, policies, and technologies. Members of the board each serve for a three year term. Of the 24 members, 8 have just begun their terms.

The IT Governance board focuses upon ensuring that the company achieves maximum value for each dollar spent on information technology capabilities. The board’s members must exercise due diligence to ensure that the company complies with laws and regulations that apply to the use of Information Technology (including privacy and security requirements). The board is also charged with ensuring that the company complies with voluntary standards such as PCI-DSS since these have an impact on the company’s business operations (non compliance could result in the company not being permitted to receive payments via credit cards).

The next meeting of the IT Governance board will include a set of orientation briefings for the new members. Your assignment, as a support staffer, is to help prepare for this orientation meeting by developing a short (5-minute) briefing on one of the following IT management / IT security management frameworks, standards, and models.

1. COBIT
2. ITIL
3. ISO 27001 (ISMS Program Management)
4. NIST Cybersecurity Framework
5. NIST Security and Privacy Controls (NIST SP 800-53)
6. NIST Risk Management Framework (NIST SP 800-37)

See the weekly readings for information about your selected topic. Then, find additional sources on your own. (Each of these standards and frameworks is discussed in freely available materials on the Internet or in articles available through the university’s only library. There is no reason for you to pay for copies of any materials for this assignment.)

After you have researched your chosen framework, standard, or model, develop a written script for your briefing which you will deliver verbatim (as written). You should also prepare a one page handout for the board members to follow as you present your speech.

How can be used by law enforcement and intelligence services? How can be used by private individuals?

PLEASE HAVE A LOOK AT THE QUESTIOn

you will generate a NON THREADED, SEQUENTIAL program.  This sequential program will take some input (you can grab this input from the user, or from a command line argument) that it will store in an integer.  (Therefore, there needs to be checks in place to make sure that the number being given can be stored adequately in an integer.  You do not need to use BigInteger or long for this, regular integersis fine.  This is more about design than about function).

Now that you have this number, you want to compute all the prime numbers that exist between 2 and that number (inclusive).

If a number is not prime, you will store that number and a List of its factors in a Map

If a number is prime you will store it in a List.  So, at the conclusion, we have a Map of non primes that contain factors of numbers and a list of primes.

You will time the runtime of your application so that we know how long it will take to build these two structures.  To time your application, simply generate a starting time as soon as you retrieve the number you want to use as the base of your iteration and then stop the timer when you are finished generating your structures.  Report back what the difference is. You can use System.currentTimeMillis(); to do this.

In the event of an unknown zero-day attack, an intrusion detection system (IDS) might not be able to detect the attack and therefore fail to alert the administrator. Any failure to detect an attack is called a false negative. When alarms are not going off, it’s common to assume that no malicious events are taking place. If that’s a false assumption, real attacks are occurring and security staff is unaware.

False positives may create a false sense of security for the opposite reason—too many alarms from benign occurrences. An administrator might react quickly to the first few alarms. However, after receiving additional false positives, a busy administrator might put off investigating the alarms or ignore them.

Answer the following question(s):

Assume you are a network administrator responsible for security. In your opinion, which is worse—false positives or false negatives? Why?
