Background  As cybercrimes have become more sophisticated over the years, organizations needed better solutions to prevent and manage threats. Eventually, this leads to full time incident response teams. Part of the incident response efforts are to understand and assess exactly what was done during an attack or compromise. Systems need to be scrutinized by a variety of forensic tools and in-depth investigations so that organizations can understand the depths of a compromise and the impact that compromise may have to information assets. Based on the scenario described (just before the guided exercise):  a. Create an incident response report using concepts from the guided exercise and the previous labs. The report should be no more than 3 pages, and should include:     i. Executive Summary (for non-technical decision-makers) • Answer specifics such as:           a. What was the attackers IP address?           b. How did attacker know which accounts to try?           c. Was root compromised?           d. How do we get more information on the File Manager app?     ii. Detection and Analysis (of the incident and events)           • Identify what, how, who, where, and when.           • Provide evidence (screenshots).     iii. Recovery • Provide recommendations            a. How can they prevent this in the future?            b. Should they notify customers and/or stakeholders?                        • Create a clear and concise timeline of the major events.      iv. Lessons Learned (from the company’s perspective)

Of the five primary components of an information system (hardware, software, data, people, process), which do you think is the most important to the success of a business organization? Part A – Define each primary component of the information system. Part B – Include your perspective on why your selection is most important. Part C – Provide an example from your personal experience to support your answer.

Write a 1–2 page executive summary that describes the synergy between software development cycles and data analytics, and why data analytics should be applied to a software development life cycle. In this assignment, you will describe a software that needs to be developed, a software development life cycle, and a rationale for the application of data analytics to software development. To complete this assignment, follow these steps: +.Select a type of software that needs to be developed. Select a software development life cycle to apply to develop the software. Provide a rationale and recommendation for the application of data analytics to the selected software development life cycle. Address these questions in your executive summary: What were the defining points for the application of data analytics to the software development? What were the reasons?  How does data analytics help a project manager visualize and interpret the software development life cycle successfully? Where will the use of data analytics take software development in the future?

1. Why is it important to ensure an alignment between the business processes, the architecture, and the vision of the organization? 2. Why is it so important to establish an Enterprise Architecture Governance framework? 3. Describe some of the most important characteristics relevant to EA governance 4. How does this transform “change management”?

Read Article and  -Discuss the CKC as your view it in relation to information security – Discuss the change in defensive posture the kill chain represents with respect to information security – The CKC was first postulated in the military, based on understanding the adversary tactics, techniques and procedures, how does this translate to infosec? How would the adoption of the CKC reduce risk for an organization by reducing its attack surface? – Please do not define the stages of the CKC, but use them to relate process, people or technology that could be employed in each stage to protect an organization.

The case study retail store has provided a list of reports and data manipulation tasks that are needed in the processing of orders for their customers. Answer the following: What structured query language (SQL) statement scripts are needed to create the database schema for the relational database system and manipulate the data in the solution that you are proposing to the company? How does each of these scripts specifically support the goals and objectives of the company? Examples are provided here to help with this assignment. As indicated in Unit 1, it is assumed that Microsoft SQL Server Express Edition (with management tools) was chosen as the database platform. It can be downloaded for free at this Web site. The project deliverables are as follows: Data Manipulation Tasks Insert 20 records into each table for testing purposes. Delete an entire order by using the unique identifier for that order. Update the price of a product by using the unique identifier for that product. Add a minimum of 3 of your own data manipulation language (DML) scripts based on the needs and specifications of your retail store. Report List Total revenue (sales) per month, grouped by customer Total revenue (sales) per month, grouped by product Total count of products, grouped by category Add minimum of 3 of your own report scripts based on the needs and specifications of your retail store (one must be a CROSSTAB) SQL (4–5 pages) Include the database definition language (DDL) scripts to CREATE to database schema as described in the entity–relationship (E–R) diagram (Unit 2). Include the database manipulation scripts (DML) that will be used to INSERT, DELETE, and UPDATE data in the proposed database system. Include the SELECT, CROSSTAB, and AGGREGATE FUNCTION statements that will be used to read data from the proposed database system. Provide your analysis as to how this part of the project fulfills the mission and 1 or more goals of the case study organization. Provide the following attachments (in addition to embedding in document): DDL.sql (including CREATE and INSERT statements so that they execute in the correct order [top-down]) DML.sql (including DELETE and UPDATE statements so that they can be executed in any order as selected) REPORT.sql (including SELECT, CROSSTAB, AGGREGATE FUNCTION statements so that they can be executed in any order as selected) Note: You will embed each script in the Word document and also provide it as an attachment. All sources should be cited both in-text and in References using APA format.

The paper needs to include: 1. Where technology the beginning of law enforcement?  2. where’s is law enforcement technology headed 3. what will be the impact on law enforcement as technology moves into the future.  The paper will need to be structured as follows: section 1:is the introduction/background of the topic/issue. The following questions to consider including what the historical background of the issue? Are the critical incidents were which emphasize the importance of the issue? Section 2: will be the statement of a problem. Questions to consider include the significant causes for emerging advancement in technology for law enforcement; what are the key questions, ethical debates, conversations associated controversies associated with emerging technology? Section 3: current policies. Questions to consider what current problems are associated with technology.? What are the major flaws or limitations of the current law-enforcement technology? Section 4: alternative solutions. A question to be considered what are alternatives to law enforcement’s current technology? Section 5: summary and conclusion, Questions that need to be included what will happen if law enforcement does not move forward in emerging technology? What will happen if law enforcement continues to move forward into technology?

In your “Practical Guide” reading this week, the emphasis is on defining an architectural process and approach. In your own words, please describe: 1. What are some considerations for selecting a specific architectural framework? 2. Why are quality attributes (“ilities”) important when defining an architecture and why isn’t it a good idea to  “bolt” these on at a later date? 3. Please provide 2-3 considerations for evaluating an architecture.

Review the advantages and disadvantages of enterprise resource planning (ERP), customer relationship management (CRM), and enterprise application integration (EAI); then research and provide a real-world example of one of these concepts and briefly explain how it benefited the organization. Do you believe the organization selected the appropriate method and did it solve the business problem? What would be the outcome if another option were selected?
