Exercise 3

At teradatauniversitynetwork.com, go to the Sports Analytics page. Find applications of Big Data in sports. Summarize your findings.

Discuss in 500 words, how much redaction is necessary to anonymize an electronic health record. Is it enough to redact the name? The name and address? Is a medical record like a finger print?

Use at least three sources. Use the Research Databases available from the Danforth Library, not Google.   Include at least 3 quotes from your sources enclosed in quotation marks and cited in-line by reference to your reference list.  Example: “words you copied” (citation) These quotes should be one full sentence not altered or paraphrased. Cite your sources using APA format. Use the quotes in your paragaphs.

Write in essay format not in bulleted, numbered or other list format. 

Reply to two classmates’ posting in a paragraph of at least five sentences by asking questions, reflecting on your own experience, challenging assumptions, pointing out something new you learned, offering suggestions. These peer responses are not ‘attaboys’.  Make your initial post by Thursday 11:59 pm EST. Respond to two of your classmates by Sunday 11:59 pm EST.  

It is important that you use your own words, that you cite your sources, that you comply with the instructions regarding length of your post and that you reply to two classmates in a substantive way (not ‘nice post’ or the like).  Your goal is to help your colleagues write better. Do not use spinbot or other word replacement software. It usually results in nonsense and is not a good way to learn anything. I will not spend a lot of my time trying to decipher nonsense. Proof read your work or have it edited. Find something interesting and/or relevant to your work to write about. Please do not submit attachments unless requested.

Risk management is one of the most important components in empowering an organization to achieve its ultimate vision. With proper risk management culture and knowledge, team members will be “speaking” the same language, and they will leverage common analytical abilities to identify and mitigate potential risks as well as exploit opportunities in a timely fashion. In order to consolidate efforts, the existence of an integrated framework is crucial. This is why an ERM is necessary to the fulfillment of any organization’s goals and objectives.

In your final research project for the course, your task is to write a 7-10 page paper discussing the following concepts:

• Introduction
• Why should an organization Implement an ERM application?
• What are some key challenges and solutions to Implementing an ERM?
• What is Important for an effective ERM?
• Discuss at least one real organization that has been effective with implementing an ERM framework or /application.
• Conclusion, final thoughts for future research
• Recommendation

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

• Be approximately seven to ten pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.
• Follow APA7 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.

Many business environments have both visible and invisible physical security controls. You see them at the post office, at the corner store, and in certain areas of your own computing environment. They are so pervasive that some people choose where they live based on their presence, as in gated access communities or secure apartment complexes. Alison is a security analyst for a major technology corporation that specializes in data management. This company includes an in house security staff (guards, administrators, and so on) that is capable of handling physical security breaches. Brad experienced an intrusion—into his personal vehicle in the company parking lot. He asks Alison whether she observed or recorded anyone breaking into and entering his vehicle, but this is a personal item and not a company possession, and she has no control or regulation over damage to employee assets. This is understandably unnerving for Brad, but he understands that she’s protecting the business and not his belongings.

When or where would you think it would be necessary to implement security measures for both?

Assignment: Create User Policy

Learning Objectives and Outcomes

• Create a report detailing user access policies based on research.
• Explain the details of user policy creation in organizations.

Scenario

You work for a large, private health care organization that has server, mainframe, and RSA user access. Your organization requires identification of the types of user access policies provided to its employees.

Sean, your manager, just came into your office at 6:00 p.m. on Friday and asks you to write a report detailing these user access policies. He needs you to research a generic template and use that as a starting point from which to move forward. He wants you to complete this task over the weekend as he has just been given a boatload of tasks in the management meeting which ended a few minutes ago. He is counting on you to take some of the load off his shoulders. The report is due to senior management next week.

Assignment Requirements

Look for existing policy templates and examples from organizations of similar type. Write a report detailing these user access policies based on your research, and place them into a table with an introduction explaining the following: who, what, when, why. Be sure to add a conclusion with a rationale for your selection. Reference your research so Sean may add or refine this report before submission to senior management.

Submission Requirements

• Format: Microsoft Word
• Font: Arial, 12-Point, Double-Space
• Length: 3–4 pages

Self-Assessment Checklist

• I created a professional report.
• I included a table listing policies for the given scenario.
• I used references.
• I used my school’s preferred style guide and formulated my report clearly.
• I provided a rationale and conclusion.

Here is a SAMPLE run for a simple calculator to add to numbers (this is for reference only)

Simple Calculator

What is your name –> Supa

Enter first number –> 7

Enter second number –> 5

Supa, The total of 7.0 + 5.0 = 12.0

Do you want another calculation ? (y/n) y

What is your name –> Lupa

Enter first number –> 21

Enter second number –> 11

Lupa, The total of 21.0 + 11.0 = 32.0

Do you want another calculation ? (y/n) n

Thanks for using my calculator
