Enterprise risk management/ research paper

What are baseline security requirements that should be applied to the design and implementation of applications, databases, systems, network infrastructure, and information processing when considering cloud computing within an enterprise risk management framework?

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

  • Be approximately four to six 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.
  • 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.

Describe the technologies, hardware, and software used within the information technology field using visio to create a diagram that identifies the networking equipment needed to enable the workflow between these employees.

 

Directions

The manager at James Otis Tax Associates has asked you to submit a report describing the technology hardware and software needed to build a computer network for the new office. The manager has asked you to describe the computer system for each new employee, including an explanation of the purpose for each selected technology component, and to identify specific software programs that the employees would need. He has also asked you to describe the security measures needed to support the systems. In your explanation, include how your knowledge of human-computer interaction (HCI) impacted your choices for each component.

The manager has provided the following employee descriptions:

  • Certified Public Accountant (CPA): The CPA is a senior position at a tax preparation company. The CPA will be not only handling sensitive customer data from personal tax returns but also preparing tax returns for corporate clients. The CPA is also responsible for the personal tax returns filled out by the tax and data-entry specialist employees.
  • Tax Specialist: The tax specialist has the dual role of entering data and verifying that tax returns are correct. This position involves customer interaction in gathering data for minimizing taxes owed or maximizing tax refunds.
  • Data-Entry Specialist: This position requires data entry for personal tax returns for customers who walk in the door. Although the data-entry specialist works with sensitive customer data, they do not have access to the tax returns once the returns are submitted to the tax specialist for review.

For each employee, you must:

  • Describe all hardware components, including peripherals, needed to create the systems
  • Identify specific software programs (more than one) that would be beneficial to each identified employee. Programs could include:
    • Operating systems
    • Applications such as:
      • Office automation products
      • Security products
  • Describe security measures needed to support this system. Security measures could focus on:
    • Access
    • Administration and user passwords
    • Firewalls

Along with each description, explain the purpose of each technology component in each system. In your explanation, include how your knowledge of human-computer interaction (HCI) impacted your choices for components.

Finally, choose a network topology that could be used to connect all of the new employees identified by the manager. Create a Visio diagram to identify the networking equipment needed to enable the workflow between the employees.

​Timeline Assignment

 Timeline AssignmentInstructions

  1. Do you have the two Dr. Evil E01 images downloaded to your computer? If not, please do this.
  2. Did you already download and install Autopsy on your workstation? If not, please do this. Also, don’t forget to watch the video on using Autopsy if you are not familiar with it. Note – the tool is very intuitive so you should not have problems with it.
  3. Ingest (load) the two E01 images into Autopsy by selecting File à Add Data Source. If you are not sure what is the data source– then select the Disk Image data source and you can browse to the E01 images. 
  4. Autopsy will then process the images. This should take about 10-20 minutes.

  1. Now click on the Timeline button on top of the Autopsy GUI and then familiarize yourself with the environment before answering these questions for total of 50 points. This timeline functionality is extremely powerful so click everywhere. Check out the different options. Right click a file and see what options are existing. I think you will be able to immediately grasp the possibilities of how you can pivot to a very specific MINUTE. See sample screenshot.

Security Architecture & design

Length:  Minimum of 600 words

Total points: 40 points

Due date: Sunday, November 29, 2020

In week #8, your midterm project was to provide a security assessment for Vestige, Inc, an online software company that specialize in selling ad spaces in their parent company’s magazine.  Vestige manages an online database that allows their customers to upload and pay for their business ads for magazine placement.  Because Vestige’s database needs to connect to the parent company’s database, the parent company has requested that Vestige system be assessed and verified as secure.

Now that you have provided your security assessment, the next step is to provide Vestige, Inc. with your Security Portfolio. Using this week’s Reading on the NIST framework that includes the 5-step process for creating a balanced portfolio of security products, your assignment will be to create a Security Portfolio with the following sections:

1. Cover Page (i.e. APA title page)

2. Background (provide a synopsis your midterm security assessment on Vestige)

3. For each security need identified (or needs to be identified) from your Week #8’s Midterm Assignment, Find the products that will deliver the needed capabilities for the right price, and tell why you chose that product.

This assignment should be about the security needs only.  Do NOT discuss how the client can achieve more business (That is not your job). Please use  APA format and include at least two references.

Contingency Planning

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.
