Research Apple Home Pod. How does it interact with smart home devices?  Alexa is now connected to smart home devices such as thermostats and microwaves. Find examples of other appliances that are connected to Alexa and write a report. 

In this challenge, you’ll create a function that reverses a string.
For example, given the string “forward”, your function should return “drawrof”.
Please do the following:
Name your function reverse.
Call your function with the input string This is my string. and assign the result to the variable my_string.
Print out my_string!
NOTE: Do NOT use input for your function as it cannot be used in this test environment. You should also assume that all inputs are strings, so you do not need to check for this.

You will have a two-part team project due in Weeks 9 and 10. The first part will be a research paper that outlines the components of a successful project. The second part will be application of these components to a project (real or fictitious) that you and your team mates are planning to start in a comprehensive Project Plan. Each paper should have a presentation to accompany it.

Guidelines:

• For Part 2, remember to give me some context with regard to your project selection. Tell me what kind of business/organization it is, the goals of the project, and why it is important to complete the project.
• Use your textbook as your primary source of information and current research (no more than 5 years old) to supplement it.
• The papers must be written in APA style with references formatted in APA style, including a References page.
• Presentations can take any form you like—be creative!

All written work must be submitted in the student’s own words with sources properly attributed in APA format. For your convenience, the correct in-text citation for your textbook is  (Kerzner, 2013).

 Topic:

According to the authors, privacy and security go hand in hand; and hence, privacy cannot be protected without implementing proper security controls and technologies. Today, organizations must make not only reasonable efforts to offer protection of privacy of data, but also must go much further as privacy breaches are damaging to its customers, reputation, and potentially could put the company out of business. As we continue learning from our various professional areas of practice, its no doubt that breaches have become an increasing concern to many businesses and their future operations.   

Question:

For this discussion, find an example of a security breach which compromised data records at a company in the same industry as you will be using in your final paper. Summarize the breach, discuss the data that was lost and identify security controls that you would recommend be in place (be certain to remember to cite sources) that could have prevented this breach from occurring. 

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.

Mind set

The purpose of this assignment is to identify the activities used to make strategic decisions regarding DRP and BC planning processes.  It is important that you understand the business needs before you can effectively provide security solutions. So, think about the scope of the information systems assets, the threats, and vulnerabilities must be identified.  Now, the business priorities must be identified and aligned with the security posture.  At the end of this exercise, you should be able to prioritize the business needs to determine the scope business continuity and disaster recovery plan. 

Also, it is important understand that security frameworks are not a one-size-fits-all approach, they must be adjusted to fit the business security goals.
