Unit 5 DB: Protection Manager

You have decided that the complexity of the corporate network facility and satellite offices warrants the hiring of a dedicated physical security and facilities protection manager. You are preparing to write the job requisition to get this critical function addressed and have solicited some ideas from the PCS working group members regarding physical and environmental security risks.

Discuss the operational security functions that the physical security and facilities protection manager would be responsible for. Discuss how these functions would inform the development and implementation of system related incident response plans. Further discuss how these incident response plans fit into business continuity planning. Include at least one research reference and associated in-text citation using APA standards. In your replies to your peers further discuss how the concepts improve the security posture of PCS.

Refreneces Must***

Part 1: Quoting

Required source: A professional journal article from the list  presented in the Library section of the classroom as explained above. Do  not look for quotes already presented in the article; your mission is  to find direct statements in the article and quote them yourself.

Quotation 1: Parenthetical citation

• Choose a meaningful statement of 25–39 words from the article and  quote it without introduction, using in-text citation after the  end-quotation mark and before the final sentence punctuation.

Quotation 2: Narrative citation

• Choose a different meaningful statement of 25–39 words from the same  article and quote it properly, starting your sentence with “According  to” or a similar introduction, and inserting proper citation as  explained in the reading.

Required adjustment:

• Edit just one of your two quotes by correctly using brackets, an ellipsis, or [sic]. These techniques are explained in the reading.
• If the original does not have an error, you cannot use [sic]  and must instead employ either brackets for a clarification or an  ellipsis to delete words. Note that British English spellings are not  considered errors.

Reference entry:

• Provide a full 7th edition APA-standard reference entry for this journal article.

Part 2: Paraphrasing From Two Other Articles

Choose two other journal articles from the same Library list. It is  recommended that you pick articles that are relatively easy for you to  understand, especially if you are new to the technology field. Find a  section of each article that interests you and write paraphrases.

For each of your two paraphrases, separately:

• Compose a descriptive title (a phrase) in your own words. Use title case.
• Write a paraphrase of 170–220 words. If it is difficult to meet the  minimum length or to avoid writing more than the maximum, then a more  suitable section (or section size) from the original article must be  chosen.
• Do not include any quotes.
• Write the paraphrases in paragraph form (no lists).
• Include proper citation as explained in the reading.
• Provide a full 7th edition APA-standard reference entry.

 Question:

Use the information found at Protecting Your System: Physical Security to research how determining possible physical threats may affect the choice of physical security countermeasures while planning new or updated security systems. Summarize your findings.

Fully address the question(s) in this discussion; provide a valid rationale or a citation for your choices.

Your Initial post should be at least 350 words in length.

Project Overview

The course final project is designed for you to apply the software application skills you acquired during the term. For this project, you will use all four of the Microsoft Office applications to create a unified project on a single topic. The instructions below are not step-by-step instructions – as part of the previous assignments you’ve already learned how to carry out various functions in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Access. Instead, the information below details the requirements for the final project. If you need assistance with “how to do something in one of the Office applications” return to your SIMnet MS Office textbook. You can access this via the “Library” link in the top right-hand corner of SIMnet.

Software Requirements

You must use the following software applications to create the final project:

• Microsoft Word 2019

• Microsoft Excel 2019

• Microsoft Access 2019

• Microsoft PowerPoint 2019

No other versions of Office may be used. If you’re missing any of the above applications, keep in mind that the computers in the Open Computer Lab (DTEC 462) have all these applications available for your use.

Project Topic

Your project topic is your intended major/career.  You should begin developing your project after researching your intended major and career via the Careers in IT sections of the textbook and websites linked in Module 13.  This is the focus of your final project. You will use ALL the Office applications to create content related to your chosen topic. 

Project Minimum Requirements

The minimum requirements for each of the four applications are detailed in the checklists below.

1. Each application component is valued at 65pts.
2. There are 40 points (10 pts each application) allocated for professionalism, effort, and creativity.

• Professionalism is assessed in evaluation of proper use of the required skills (e.g. competent in tables), grammar, spelling, and overall appearance.
• Effort is assessed in whether the presentation exceeded the minimum requirements
• Students who meet only the minimum requirements for each software application may not receive the 40 points for professionalism, effort, and creativity.
• Creativity is demonstrated by applying the software skills acquired during the term.
• Creativity is measured in various ways, including:

o  applying additional skills covered in the course but not listed as a minimum requirement,

o  adding additional graphics or pictures,

o  applying varying color schemes,

o  creative formatting of the Excel chart,

o  using various design backgrounds with presentation slides,

In a two-page paper, identify the physics principles contained within the following scenario. Explain how these principals connect to Einstein’s theory of relativity or in modern applications in physics. If you use a GPS option on your car or a mobile device, you are using Einstein’s theory of relativity. Finally, provide another example from your own experience, then compare and contrast your scenario to the provided example below.

Scenario

Mandy took a trip to Rome, Italy. She gazed out over the open ocean 20,000 feet below as her airplane began its descent to her final destination of Rome. It had been a long flight from New York to Rome, but she as she stretched, and her bones creaked as though she was old, she knew that in fact, she was a tiny bit younger than her compatriots back home, thanks to traveling at hundreds of miles per hour. In fact, time for her was running slowly compared to her friends in New York for two reasons: the speed at which she had traveled and the height of the airplane above the Earth. Neither, though, were noticeable.
