Foundations of Cybersecurity-SP21

 

This application assignment involves investigating two recent cybersecurity topics/events covered on the website KrebsOnSecurity.com.  KrebsOnSecurity.com presents the latest news and investigative reports on cybersecurity. This site is managed by Mr. Brian Krebs, who worked as a reporter for The Washington Post from 1995 to 2009 authoring over 1,000 blog posts for the Security Fix blog and well over 200 articles for The Washington Post newspaper and washingtonpost.com. 

Select two articles from the Website–one that details an information security concern and one that explains a new cybersecurity skill or knowledge.  The articles must have been published in the last six months.  For each of the two articles, you will then go find another article on the same topic from outside the KrebsOnSecurity.com site.  Referencing both articles (e.g., the one from Krebs and the one from somewhere else), your job is to provide a summary of the topic–largely in your own words–explaining how you as a cybersecurity professional would use/apply the information.  Limit your writeups to no more than one page for each of the two topics.  When complete, submit your two writeups as a single Word document via the submission functionality.

To summarize, this assignment involves identifying two articles from KrebsOnSecurity.com–one related to an information security concern and one related to a new security skill or knowledge base.  For each of the two articles, find one other article about the topic from somewhere else, providing you with two perspectives on the same topic.  Then, for each of the two topics you identified, write up a one page summary that incorporates information from both articles (the Krebs one and the non-Krebs one) you found.  Submit the separate writeups via a single, two-page document that clearly delineates between the two different writeups.  

discuss some key terms in business.

Discussion: This week we discuss some key terms in business.  Please define what a business process is and note the tools of documentation within business processes and why they are important to understand.

Note: The first post should be made by Wednesday 11:59 p.m., EST. 

Your response should be 250-300 words.  Respond to two postings provided by your classmates.

Week # 4

Date completed

2. Problem 1: Create a Python program to solve a simple pay calculation. Calculate the amount of pay, given employee name, hours worked, and hourly rate. (The formula to calculate payroll is pay = hourly rate * hours worked.) Display employee name, hourly rate, hours worked, and pay. (Do not add any rules such as overtime)

Problem 2: Create a Python program to calculate the average miles per gallon obtained on a trip. Input car name, the amount of gas used and the number of miles driven. (The formula to calculate miles per gallon is miles per gallon = number of miles driven / amount of gas used. ) Display car name, gas used, miles driven and MPG. Use your own values to test the. You can hard code the values or you can use the input() function. See announcement  for sample code.

Malware detection project

 

Your Research Project is due this week. It must consist of:

1. 5 source annotated bibliography

2. slide presentation with 12 or more slides

3. Summary or Abstract containing at least 750 words.

The topic must be appropriate for graduate level. Find a topic that we covered in the course and dig deeper or find something that will help you in your work or in a subject area of interest related to the course topic. Use the Research Databases available from the Danforth Library not Google.

This week’s journal article was focused on how information and communication innovation drives change in educational settings. The key focus of the article was how technology-based leadership has driven the digital age.  Also, that the role of technology leadership incorporates with the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM).In this paper, address the following key concepts:

  1. Define TAM and the components.
  2. Note how TAM is impacting educational settings.
  3. Give an overview of the case study presented and the findings.

Be sure to use the UC Library for scholarly research. Google Scholar is also a great source for research.  Please be sure that journal articles are peer-reviewed and are published within the last five years.The paper should meet the following requirements:

  • 3-5 pages in length (not including title page or references)
  • APA guidelines must be followed.  The paper must include a cover page, an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.
  • A minimum of five peer-reviewed journal articles.

The writing should be clear and concise.  Headings should be used to transition thoughts.  Don’t forget that the grade also includes the quality of writing.

Research paper and discussion

Part 1: Research paper (4-6 pages)

 please write a research paper that answers the following questions: 

  • What are mobile forensics and do you believe that they are different from computer forensics?
  • What is the percentage of attacks on networks that come from mobile devices?
  • What are challenges to mobile forensics?
  • What are some mobile forensic tools?
  • Should the analysis be different on iOS vs Android?

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

  • Be approximately 4-6 pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.
