Identity theft is one of the most prevalent forms of cybercrime.  Based on your personal experience and this module’s materials explain how cybercriminals can steal your identity and what would you suggest as the most effective steps to protect your identity from cybercriminals.  Initial discussion should be posted no later than Wednesday at 11:59 p.m.  Make sure you articulate sufficiently and possibly support your arguments with some research.
When answering your peers, make sure your response is substantial and don’t be hesitant to have a different opinion.  The topic we are discussing provides for multiple possible outcomes. 

It have to be one page document 

about how facebook is getting user data and how it is affecting diverse people or some group of people

Must be using legit source.

Scenario

Always Fresh allows external users, such as vendors and business partners, to access the Always Fresh Windows environment. You have noticed a marked increase in malware activity in the test environment that seems to originate from external users. After researching the likely source of new malware, you conclude that allowing external users to connect to your environment using compromised computers exposes Always Fresh to malware vulnerabilities.

After consulting with your manager, you are asked to create a policy that will ensure all external computers that connect to Always Fresh environment are malware free. You create the following policy:

“To protect the Always Fresh computing environment from the introduction of malware of any type from external sources, all external computers and devices must demonstrate that they are malware free prior to establishing a connection to any Always Fresh resource.”

Consider the following questions:

1. What does “malware free” mean?

2. How can a user demonstrate that their computer or device is malware free?

3. What are the steps necessary to establish a malware-free computer or device?

4. How should Always Fresh verify that a client computer or device is compliant?

Tasks

Create a malware protection procedure guide that includes steps for installing and running anti-malware software. Fill in the following details to develop your procedure guide:

1. Provide a list of approved anti-malware software solutions—include at least three leading antivirus and two anti-spyware products. You may include Microsoft products and third-party products. Instruct users to select one antivirus and one anti-spyware product and install them on their computer.

2. Describe the process of:

a. Ensuring anti-malware software and data is up to date. Mandate daily updates.

b. Running regular malware scans. Mandate that automatic scans occur whenever the computer is idle. If that setting is unavailable, mandate daily fast scans and biweekly complete scans.

3. Provide steps to follow any time malware is detected.

a. Immediate reaction—what to do with current work, leave the computer on or turn it off

b. Who to contact

c. What information to collect

The procedure guide may be used by company security professionals in the future. Hence, all steps listed should be clear and self-explanatory.

Payroll Lab

You will be taking in a file (payroll.txt) which details a number of departments (at least 1) and in each department are a set of employees (each department will have at least 1 employee or it would not appear on the payroll sheet). Your job is to read the file in separate out each employee and calculate the total values (hours, salary, number of employees) for each department and in each category (F1, F2, F3, F4). In your final submission please include the .cpp file which should work for any kind of payroll file I supply (which will naturally match the format of the examples below). Be sure to indicate in your submission text if you have attempted any of the bonus points .

   

An example file:

The IT Department
Bill 8 7 8 9 7 F1
Bob 205103 0.08 F3
Betty 8 8 7 8 8 F2
Brandon 10 10 9 6 9 F2
Brad 9 8 10 9 9 4 1 F4

The Sales Department
Kyle 88840 0.105 F3
Tyler 105203 0.085 F3
Konner 8 6 7 6 9 F2
Sam 309011 0.045 F3
Kent 9 8 9 9 9 0 0 F4

An additional example file:

The Sales Department
Mike 5 6 1 3 5 F1
Mark 98103 0.115 F3
Jill 8 8 8 8 8 F2

Frank 106101 0.095 F3

Kent 9 8 9 9 9 0 0 F4
EOF

   

Last in the row after the hours comes the pay grade (F1, F2, F3, F4). The number of hours recorded is based on the pay grade of the employee. F1 and F2s will have 5 numbers for their hours. F3s are commission based where a sales amount and a commission percentage is given. F3s are also assumed to work 30 hours if their commission is 10% or below and 40 hours if their commission is above 10%. F4s will have 7 numbers (as they are on-call during the weekend). Each of the pay grades will also have different pay calculations which are as follows:

F1 = The total number of hours * 11.25
F2 = (The total number of hours – 35) * 18.95 + 400
F3 = The total sales amount * the commission rate
F4 = The first 5 hourly totals * 22.55 + Any weekend hourly totals (the last 2) * 48.75

Your output to the screen should start with the department name, followed by the total pay for all of the employees, then the total number of hours, and the total number of employees. After that you should have a breakdown of each category of employee: F1 total pay and total hours, F2 total pay and total hours…

Each department will have at least 1 employee and each department will contain the word “Department.”

Before coding your solution, take the time to design the program. What are the possible things that the file can have that you need to anticipate? What are the actions that you need to take (read the file, add up hours…)? Are those actions things that could be placed in separate functions? What about the function – can you guess some of the things that will happen? Such as, using substring to pull out part of a line in the file maybe using stoi to convert a string to an integer to add it to the total or creating variables to hold the employee type you find before passing it to another function. Finally, how are these functions called, what is the order and what information is passed to and from? 

Scoring Breakdown

25% program compiles and runs
30% program reads in and calculates the figures for output
10% the program is appropriately commented
35% outputs the correct information in a clear format 

5% bonus to those who can output the F# responses in a columned output like that shown above.

5% order the employees in the roster according to their F status, F1’s first, then F2’s and so on.
5% bonus to those who do a chart comparing the data at the end to show the relation between the pay grades and the amount of salary spent in each (they style of chart is up to you and more points may be given for more difficult charts (like a line chart):

   

B Department
F1 – 00000000
F2 – 000000
F3 – 00000
F4 – 000000000000

Assignment Expectations

You would need to demonstrate understanding of dynamic data structure in this program

 Directions: Define the standards you will use, and define a milestone for Week 6 that will let you know if you are on track. This should be some functionality or progress that you want to have completed by that time. 

Note:  You should have your detailed design and your schedule, and have established that any connections that you need all work (if not, be sure to do these things asap).  So next is to start making progress.  As you begin development, you should think about standards and conventions (navigation, error-handling, security, …) so you can be consistent throughout your project.  This will make your project easier to work with, as a developer, and as a user. 

 Chapter 4: Project Risk Management SystemsChapter 5: Project Risk Contexts and DriversChapter 6: Approach to Project Risk IdentificationInitial Postings: Read and reflect on the assigned readings for the week. Then post what you thought was the most important concept(s), method(s), term(s), and/or any other thing that you felt was worthy of your understanding in each assigned textbook chapter.Your initial post should be based upon the assigned reading for the week, so the textbook should be a source listed in your reference section and cited within the body of the text. Other sources are not required but feel free to use them if they aid in your discussion.Also, provide a graduate-level response to each of the following questions:

1. What factors make a project high risk?
2. What are the three types of project risk?
3. How do you write a good project risk?

[Your post must be substantive and demonstrate insight gained from the course material. Postings must be in the student’s own words – do not provide quotes!] [Your initial post should be at least 450+ words and in APA format (including Times New Roman with font size 12 and double spaced).
