Why is it important for business strategy to drive organizational strategy and IS strategy? What might happen if the business strategy was not the driver?

Please make your initial post and two response posts 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.

 My Topic is a:- a comparison of authentication mechanisms

 Research topic.  You must  include at least four primary, peer-reviewed sources in your  bibliography.  Additional sources of varying standards can also be used.   However, these four must be specifically cited.  An un-cited source  should not appear in your bibliography.

A primary source is the original material. If you are directly  quoting the words of an author, that is usually a primary source.  However, if you are quoting a paraphrase from an author (known because  the author is making a citation), then you should find the original  document they are paraphrasing and then quote or paraphrase the  original.

• Peer-reviewed means that experts in the field have vetted the ideas,  methods, and conclusions to determine its suitability for publication.

• Use the library databases, Google Scholar, and Wikipedia to locate  these primary sources (i.e. see what Wikipedia cites, or what papers are  listed as often cited in Google Scholar). Ensure that they are from  peer reviewed sources (such as ACM, IEEE, etc.) and not from trade  publications (such as eWeek, PC Magazine, etc.) Wikipedia is not a  primary source — you can use it, but it will not count as one of the  four peer reviewed primary sources.

• Write a 4 to 6 page research paper on your topic.  The page count  excludes any figures, tables, pictures, title page, front-matter,  back-matter, appendices, or bibliographic references. In other words,  there should be 4 to 6 pages of double-spaced prose.

• Proofread your assignment carefully.  Improper English grammar,  sentence structure, punctuation, or spelling will result in significant  point deductions.

TOPIC:

(10) Image File Tampering

Create an image file tampering using either a FaceSwap app, Photo Editing application to change the image file. Compare the hash, EXIF (Exchangeable Image File) metadata of all the files you have tampered from the original.

The project requires a brief paper and a power point document. 

Paper needs to be no more than 2 pages.

Need both assignments by 4pm Eastern. 11/17

For this discussion, you will use a census website that posts information on variables observed in the city where you live.  Here is the website address.  https://www.census.gov/acs/www/data/data-tables-and-tools/data-profiles/2017/ (Links to an external site.)

 (Links to an external site.)After you open the website, you can enter the name of your state (georgia) on the left at the bottom and the name of your city (Kennesaw) on the right of the landing page.  You will see links to 4 sets of information on your area:  social, education, housing, and demographic.  You will be assessing the change in one variable you select for two different years. For example, data from the entire United States could be used to compare the percentage of women never married for the years 2010 and 2017.

Once you have selected your variable and obtained the information, answer the following questions:

•  Was there a difference in the values of your variable? 
• How would you write the null hypothesis if you wanted to test the differences statistically?
• Does the difference appear to be a significant one? How would you substantiate that?
• Is the difference important?
• What are the consequences of the change in your values for your community? For example, a significant increase in the number of women never married could affect the birth rate.  It could also mean more women are attending college and becoming self-sufficient. 

Web Database Project – Phase 1

Think of a useful application for a database. If possible, try to come up with something that would be useful for you or a friend. Some ideas that come to mind are databases to organize your contact list, dvd collection, book collection (for a personal library), multi-media collection…etc.

Design a relational database to meet your needs for your application. Create your MySQL database using your web hosting account.  I suggest using the PHPMyAdmin tool to create your tables.  You can also use the PHPMyAdmin tool to populate your tables with some initial data.  Put some thought into how you will organize your database before you start creating it in MySQL. Pay attention to things like primary keys and data types.  I would suggest keeping the scope of your database somewhat reasonable.  Keep in mind that what you create could be used in a portfolio (examples of projects completed as part of your course requirements) to show during a job interview.  Your database must have a minimum of two tables.

In the following assignments you will have to create a home page that will link to your database pages that will pemit access to the database.  You may want to create a home page now that is related to the database that you create for this assignment.  Keep in mind that from the home page you will want to link to one or more pages to access the database.  You will have to be able to link back to the home page on any pages you create.
 

When you have created your MySQL database, grab some screen shots of your tables in the PHPMyAdmin tool and paste them into a Word file (or similar format).  Turn in this file with your screenshots into the appropriate submission box.

In the next project phase you will create a Web interface using PHP that will interface with your database.

Web Database Project: Phase 2

Create web pages for your database using PHP. You should have one page that will return all the information from the database. You should create additional pages that will allow you to do various queries of your database. You should be able to retrieve and insert data; also include functionality to delete data from your database. I will be looking for these features. Feel free to handle those functions however you feel is best for your project.

Create an html form that will allow you to enter in new information for the database. The information should be handled by a PHP script that will take the data and input it into the database.

The interface doesn’t have to look real pretty at this point. That will be done in the next phase. If you want to go ahead and make things look nice, feel free to do so.

If you have not yet created a home page, create a separate home page that contains links to each of the web pages you create to access your database.  Your database (must have a minimum of two tables) is not to be displayed on the home page; be creative on this page.   On each of the database pages create a button (link) to go back to the home page. Your project must have more than one page; your home page should have links to other pages to perform operations on the database.  Some appropriate picture or image should be on the home page that relates to you project.  Make your project look as professional as possible.  You may want to show it during a interview.

Create a text file in which to store hyperlinks to your home page and PHP scripts.  Turn in this file to the appropriate submission box.

Web Database Project: Phase 3

Now is the time to make your project look good and as professional as possible.

By now you should have created your MySQL database and PHP scripts that can be used to query, insert, and delete data.  The objective of Phase 3 is to make it look nice. For example, you can use HTML in your PHP scripts to put the queried data into a table.  You might also choose to create a style sheet to control colors, fonts, etc.

You must have a home page which links to other pages you have created to manipulate your database.  Be sure that all pages have a button to link back to the home page and possibly buttons to link to other pages as necessary.  If you only create one page and display everything on that page you will have not met the minimum requirement for this class.  I will be looking to see if you put some real work into this final project.

When you have finished with your project, create a text file in which to turn in a hyperlink to your home page and if you wish hyperlinks to your PHP scripts.  Include your name in this file and any other comments you choose to include about your project.  Upload the file to the appropriate submission box.

Use the file naming convention shown in the drop box.

This is associated with the Twitter hack of 2020 and is a continued assurance plan to mitigate weakness while outlining the key roles of leaders and their responsibilities. See Below and Attached.

You will submit your roles and responsibilities portion of the final project. Who are the key leaders of the organization specific to how their responsibilities are connected to the security of the organization’s information? You must also identify key ethical considerations. What are the ramifications of key leaders not properly accounting for ethical and legal considerations? What are the key components of information assurance as they relate to individual roles and responsibilities within the information assurance plan? For example, examine the current policies as they relate to confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information.

Create a JSON object with five elements. Explain the definitions of object serialization and deserialization. Write and explain the Python code to apply these concepts to the created JSON object.

Demonstrate how to explain these concepts to the created JSON object.

In developing your initial response, be sure to draw from, explore, and cite credible reference materials, including at least one scholarly peer-reviewed reference. In responding to your classmates’ posts, you are encouraged to examine their opinions, offering supporting and/or opposing views.

You are required to reply to at least two peer responses to this week’s discussion question and/or your instructor’s response to your posting. Your replies need to be substantial and constructive in nature. They should add to and evaluate/analyze the content of the post answer. Normal course dialogue doesn’t fulfill these two peer replies but is expected throughout the course. Answering all course questions is also required.

Assignment Content

1. Based on readings in Rising Powers, Global Governance, and Global Ethics and related discussions, choose 1 of the countries or regions from the book into which your company might wish to expand. 

   Develop a 1-to 2-page table using either Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, or Excel that accurately compares your U.S.-based company’s ethics, based on classical ethical theory as well as its ethical stance on privacy, protection of intellectual property, and protection of PII to those within your country of choice. The column headings are “U.S.-based Company” and “Country of Choice.” The row headings are “Classical Ethical Theory,” “Privacy,” “Protection of Intellectual Property,” and “Protection of PII.”
