Ensure you read all of this information for the first assignment.

1) The assignment instructions are in a separate file named Assignment 1 Instructions.

2) When you finish your assignment, submit the research paper and programmed R Script here. You are not done yet!!

3) After submitting assignment 1 here, open the Assignment 1 Peer Review. After you enter, follow the prompts. The system will ask that you copy and paste parts of your research paper into Blackboard.

For the assignment due next Thursday, you will revisit Assignment 1 Peer Review. When you enter next week you will not be prompted to answer questions about your research. You will be prompted to evaluate a peer’s responses to the prompts. If you do not submit your responses this week, you will not be able to provide a peer review next week, forfeiting the points for that assignment.

This method will ensure that anonymity is maintained when conducting peer reviews. Ensure you allow enough time to submit the assignment here and answer the questions for assignment 1 in Assignment 1 Peer Review.

1. Define the following systems-thinking concepts in your own words:

2. The following scenario describes the system used for fulfilling an online order at Lost Pines Outfitters, a medium-sized outdoor clothing store. Read this scenario and create a basic map of the system using Microsoft Visio.

  3. Once you have mapped this system, you will map relationships contained within the system. First, identify relationships within your system diagram that represent feedback loops, and represent those loops within your model. Then, identify a relationship within the system that could be modeled with a stock and flow or causal loop diagram, and model that diagram in Visio.

Proper network design provides for compliant security, not only isolating users and their traffic, but also preventing attackers from easily traversing a network.

Using Microsoft Visio or another online network diagramming tool, diagram the network that was analyzed in the Topic 1 “Quantify the System” assignment.

Then, create a diagram for a better approach for compliance, based on one of the following frameworks: PCI, HIPAA, NIST, or any other accepted framework.

Ideally, the network will be an Enterprise class consisting of 1000+ clients for various corporate departments, with 50-100 servers providing typical network services. The network infrastructure will be using Layer 3 switches and layered routing to provide separation of subnets.

Your diagram, at a minimum, should include the following secure network design elements: Firewalls, IDS/IPS, DMZ, Vlans, Border and Gateway routers, private IP addressing, Isolated Server Subnets, Network Access Control, and VPN concentrator.

APA style is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

Refer to “Demonstrating the Gap Scoring Guide,” prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
