2. Prepare a brief summary report describing an access control plan for implementing the strategies. The report should include the purpose of the plan, steps in creation of the plan, and brief implementation procedures.

Required Resources

• Course textbook
• Internet access

Submission Requirements

• Format: Microsoft Word (or compatible)
• APA 7th ed.

Self-Assessment Checklist

• I described practical and achievable layered security in the access control plan.
• I created a professional, well-developed report with proper documentation, grammar, spelling, and punctuation.

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:

Discuss how core factors, cues to quality, and interpersonal factors of a product influence your buying decisions. Discuss with supporting examples.

Imagine designing a conjoint for your b-school’s café. In particular, you’re in charge of the daily pizza orders. Pizzas are tricky—while they’re a simple food, they can be created in a zillion combinations. What factors should you test in terms of your fellow students’ likely preferences? Wheat crust vs. white, thick vs. thin, plain cheese vs. sausage vs. sausage and green pepper vs. vegetarian (you get the picture). Design a conjoint that would result in identifying 2 or 3 popular slices that your café managers could order every morning. The student body knows you’re responsible—how do you make most of them happy? 

 [Your initial post should be at least 450+ words and in APA format (including Times New Roman with font size 12 and double spaced).

NIST SP 800-37: Risk Management Framework is a Guideline or recipe for how risk is to be assessed, resolved, and monitored. In this film (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Aoog8fXjMc), each step of this framework is explained and examples are given. 

Watch the film, and use your own words to explain what has to happen in each step, what is the importance of each step, and give one or two examples. The examples should be different from the ones in the film.

PROJECT STEPS

1. Takara Hiyashi is on the board of the Green Lake Sports Camp, a recreational summer camp in Syracuse, New York. She is using an Excel workbook to analyze the camp’s financials and asks for your help in correcting errors and solving problems with the data.
Go to the Teams worksheet. Takara asks you to correct the errors in the worksheet. Correct the first error as follows:

a. Use the Trace Precedents arrows to find the source of the #VALUE! error in cell C8.

b. Use the Trace Dependents arrows to determine whether the formula in cell C8 causes other errors in the worksheet.

c. Correct the formula in cell C8, which should add the baseball registration fee per person (cell C4) and the equipment fee (cell C7), and then multiply the result by the minimum number of campers (cell C6).

d. Remove the trace arrows.

2. Correct the Name error in cell C22 as follows:

a. Use any error-checking method to determine the source of the error in cell C22, which should calculate the average revenue per week.

b. Correct the error by editing the formula in cell C22.

3. Correct the divide by zero errors as follows:

a. Evaluate the formula in cell C18 to determine which cell is causing the divide by zero error.

b. Correct the formula in cell C18, which should divide the revenue per session (cell C16) by the minimum number of campers (cell C6).

c. Fill the range D18:G18 with the formula in cell C18. 

4. Takara suspects that the remaining divide by zero errors and the two negative values in the range E16:E18 are related to the zero value in cell E6. She wants to make sure that anyone entering the minimum number of campers enters a number greater than zero.
Add data validation to the range C6:G6 as follows:

a. Set a data validation rule for the range C6:G6 that allows only whole number values greater than 0.

b. Add an Input Message using Number of Campers as the Input Message Title and the following text as the Input message:
Enter the minimum number of campers for this session. 

c. Add an Error Alert using the Stop style, Campers Error as the Error Alert Title, and the following text as the Error message:
The minimum number of campers must be greater than 0. 

5. Identify the invalid data in the worksheet and correct the entry as follows:

a. Circle the invalid data in the worksheet.

b. Type 10 as the minimum number of campers for the lacrosse sessions (cell E6).

c. Verify that this change corrected the remaining divide by zero errors and resulted in positive values in the range E16:E18.

6. Go to the Private Lessons worksheet. This worksheet analyzes financial data for private and semi-private lessons, which the camp runs throughout the day. Takara has already created a scenario named Current Campers that calculates profit based on the current number of campers enrolled for each session. She also wants to calculate profit based on the maximum number of campers.
Add a new scenario to compare the profit with maximum enrollments as follows:

a. Use Max Campers as the scenario name.

b. Use the enrolled campers per day data (range C9:G9) as the changing cells.

c. Enter cell values for the Max Campers scenario as shown in bold in Table 1, which are the same values as in the range C8:G8.

Table 1: Cell Values for the Max Campers Scenario

Cell

Volleyball_Campers (cell G9)

15

7. Takara also wants to calculate profit based on the minimum number of campers.
Add another new scenario to compare the profit with low session enrollment as follows: 

a. Add a scenario to the worksheet using Min Campers as the scenario name.

b. Use the enrolled campers per day data (range C9:G9) as the changing cells.

c. Enter cell values for the Min Campers scenario as shown in bold in Table 2.

Table 2: Cell Values for the Min Campers Scenario

8. Show the Min Campers scenario values in the Private Lessons worksheet.

9. Go to the Revised Fees worksheet. Takara is considering whether to change the coaching fees for the private lessons. She has created three scenarios on the Revised Fees worksheet showing the profit with a $5 or $10 increase or a $5 decrease to the coaching fees.
Compare the average profit per session based on the scenarios as follows:

a. Create a Scenario Summary report using the average profit per session (range C11:G11) as the result cells to show how the average profit changes depending on the coaching fee changes. 

b. Use Revised Fees Scenario Report as the name of the worksheet containing the report.

10. Takara also wants to focus on one or two types of private lessons at a time when comparing the average profit per session. Return to the Revised Fees worksheet and create another type of report as follows:

a. Create a Scenario PivotTable report using the average profit per session (range C11:G11) as the result cells to compare the average profit depending on the fee changes in a PivotTable.

b. Use Revised Fees PivotTable as the name of the worksheet containing the PivotTable.

c. Format cells B4:F6 in the Revised Fees PivotTable worksheet using the Accounting number format with 0 decimal places and $ as the symbol.

11. Go to the Games worksheet. Takara wants to determine the number of games the camp can hold on Fridays and Saturdays to make the highest weekly profit without interfering with practices, which are also scheduled for Fridays and Saturdays and use the same resources.
Use Solver to find this information as follows:

a. Use the total weekly profit (cell H17, named Total_Weekly_Profit) as the objective cell in the Solver model, with the goal of determining the maximum value for that cell.

b. Use the number of Friday and Saturday games for the five sports (range C5:G6) as the changing variable cells.

c. Determine and enter the constraints based on the information provided in Table 3.

d. Use Simplex LP as the solving method to find a global optimal solution.

e. Save the Solver model in cell B27.

f. Solve the model, keeping the Solver solution.

Table 3: Solver Constraints

Total_Weekly_Games (H7)

The total number of Friday practices is   2 or less 

Friday_Practices (E21)

The total number of Saturday practices   is 2 or less

Saturday_Practices (E22)

The total number of practices per week   is 5 or less

Total_Practices (E23)

12. Takara wants to document the answer Solver found, including the constraints and a list of the values Solver changed to solve the problem. Produce an Answer report for the Solver model as follows:

a. Solve the model again, this time choosing to produce an Answer report.

b. Use Games Answer Report as the name of the worksheet containing the Answer report.

Your workbook should look like the Final Figures on the following pages. Save your changes, close the workbook, and then

#1. I  would like for you to write me a two-page document this week with at least three resources other than your book which discusses the natural and human process we all go through daily in managing risks in our daily lives. I want you to draw direct correlation between the processes we go through mentally to avoid risks which could harm us and the risk processes organizations go through in dealing with risk relative to a project. How do they differ – how are they the same?  Give me some examples of behaviors you engage in with your daily life to avoid personal risk. 

Requirements:

• There is no minimum or maximum required number of pages. Your response will be considered complete, if it addresses each of the components outlined above.
• Use of proper APA formatting and citations – If supporting evidence from outside resources is used those must be properly cited. A minimum of 7 sources (excluding the course textbook) from scholarly articles or business periodicals is required.
• Include your best critical thinking and analysis to arrive at your justification.

Weekly Learning and Reflection 

In two to three paragraphs (i.e., sentences, not bullet lists) using APA style citations if needed, summarize, and interact with the content covered in this lab. Summarize what you did as an attacker, what kind of vulnerabilities did you exploit, what might have prevented these attacks. Mention the attackers and all of the targets in your summary. You can provide topologies, sketches, graphics if you want. In particular, highlight what surprised, enlightened, or otherwise engaged you. You should think and write critically, not just about what was presented but also what you have learned through the session. You can ask questions for the things you’re confused about. Questions asked here will be summarized and answered anonymously in the next class.

 Contingency planning is a risk mitigation process for developing back-up plans in anticipation of events (scenarios) that might disrupt ‘business as usual’. Business continuity planning is an expanded version of contingency planning that typically encompasses a more comprehensive and extended response plan for getting back to ‘business as usual’. In a well-formatted, highly-detailed research paper, address the need to contingency planning, ensuring to address the following items:(1) Benefits of scenario events/planning.
(2) Questions to consider when implementing scenario planning.
(3) The common types of scenario planning.Your paper should meet these requirements:

• Be approximately four to six pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.
• Follow APA 7 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.
• Support your answers with the readings from the course and at least two scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook. The UC Library is a great place to find resources.
• Be clearly and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing.
