Discussion: Malicious individuals have discovered several methods to attack and defeat cryptosystems. It’s important that understand the threats posed by cryptographic attacks to minimize the risks to your network systems.Identify one cryptographic attack and how you can protect against it. Please make your initial post and two response posts substantive. A substantive post will do at least TWO of the following:Provide extensive additional information on the topicExplain, define, or analyze the topic in detailShare an applicable personal experienceAt least two scholarly sources should be used in the initial discussion threadNote: Answer should be minimum of 300 words

Several Big Data Visualization tools have been evaluated in this week’s paper. While the focus was primarily on R and Python with GUI tools, new tools are being introduced every day. Compare and contrast the use of R vs Python and identify the pros and cons of each. Provide an example of both programming languages with coding examples as well as your experience in using one or both programming languages in professional or personal work. If you have no experience with either language, please discuss how you foresee using either/both of these languages in visualizing data when analyzing big data. 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.

Read the case study titled, “Why does cryptographic software fail? A case study and open problems.” Conduct research in the Strayer University library as well as the Internet to research The Office of Management and Budget Data Breach. Also, research the results that multiple organizations have experienced when they have implemented cryptographic software. Write a 3–to 4-page paper in which you: Examine two major mistakes the Office of Management and Budget made with cryptographic software. Recommend two actions that companies can take in order to avoid these common mistakes and vulnerabilities with cryptographic software. Briefly describe the Office of Management and Budget and its experience with cryptographic software. Analyze the organization’s actions (or lack thereof) following the mistake or vulnerability. Provide your opinion on the Office of Management and Budget’s actions or plans to correct the mistake or vulnerability to avoid it from reoccurring. If the Office of Management and Budget has not corrected or does not have a plan to correct the mistake or vulnerability, suggest one action that it should take in order to correct the mistake or vulnerability. Provide a rationale for your response. Examine the most common results that the Office of Management and Budget have experienced when they implemented cryptographic software. Speculate two reasons why organizations see such results. Provide a rationale for your response. Use at least three quality references in this assignment.

For this assignment, you will research the performance specifications of commonly used disks as well as the impact of configurations such as RAID, etc on those performance characteristics.   You will also research the common storage performance needs of server operating systems and applications and see how this compares to the performance characteristics you found for common systems. Be sure to detail how the information you gathered would impact your decisions on implementing a disk.   Highlight in your response how you think these items can be resolved and what needs to be kept in consideration when designing a virtualized system. Your submission needs to be in one of the following formats .doc, .docx, .pdf or .odf

Minimum 6 Paragraph for Intranet in your organization. Intranets serve a variety of important uses within organizations. From communication venues such as private messages and blogs to organizational directories, intranets enable some incredible advantages to organizations.  Describe an experience in which you have utilized an intranet, be detailed about the purpose and tools utilized. 1. Minimum 6 Paragraph2. DO NOT include a title page. 3. Minimum 3 references and please cite in APA format.

1)  you are the webmaster for the Republican Party National Committee. Prepare a risk assessment analysis for your website. Some questions to consider: Who is likely to attack your site? When are attacks likely to occur? What sort of attacks might take place? How can you best minimize attacks and protect the integrity of your site?2)  Do a bit of research on penetration testing techniques. Investigate and document the following  Five network penetration testing techniques Advantages and disadvantages of each One notable social engineering test Possible negative implications of penetration testing3)  Discuss in 300 words whether the government should regulate Facebook more closely.  

Using the project guidelines and the attached summary for this project, you will develop a detailed comparative analysis of cloud vendors and their services. The comparative analysis provides an item-by-item comparison of two or more alternatives, processes, products, or systems. In this case, you will compare the pros/cons of the cloud service providers in terms of security, ease of use, service models, services/tools they provide, pricing, technical support, cloud service providers’ infrastructure, and architecture model. You will present your findings to the owner of the company in a PowerPoint presentation with 10 to 20 slides. Use the Cloud Presentation Template. Presentation Guidelines Your presentation should be comprised of the following:· One to two slides on the company profile.· One to two slides on what the company is struggling with.· One to two slides on current infrastructure.· Three to six slides on the top three cloud services providers. Include their service models (i.e., SaaS, PaaS, IaaS), services/tools/solutions (i.e., compute, storage, database, developer tools, analytics tools, networking and content delivery, customer engagement), pricing, accessibility, technical support for companies, global infrastructure. · One to two slides on a recommended cloud service provider based on the comparative analysis and the cloud vendor’s abilities to meet the service needs of the company. · One slide on the conclusion. How   Will My Work Be Evaluated? As a professional, you will likely make presentations to customers, client audiences, and management. By summarizing your results and recommendations in an effective presentation, you are demonstrating how you use your technical knowledge to convey your ideas to others in a professional setting. Your ability to express recommendations to decision-makers with the right mix of technical detail in an accepted format is an important workplace and career skill. The following evaluation criteria aligned to the competencies will be used to grade your assignment:· 1.1.1: Articulate the main idea and purpose of communication.· 1.1.2: Support the main idea and purpose   of communication.· 2.1.1: Identify the issue or problem   under consideration.· 2.2.2: Evaluate sources of information on   a topic for relevance and credibility.· 2.3.1: State conclusions or solutions   clearly and precisely.· 10.1.1: Identify the problem to be   solved.· 10.1.2: Gather project requirements to meet stakeholder needs.· 10.1.3: Define the specifications of required technologies.· 13.1.1: Create documentation appropriate   to the stakeholder.·13.2.1: Evaluate vendor recommendations in the context of organization requirements.

Based on the feedback from your earlier drafts, make any changes necessary. You will continue to work on your site adding the following elements: Use CSS to position content on at least two pages Add a special effect using CSS on the Homepage Use CSS to “brand” your form Now that you have begun to write your pages in HTML, please add the following to comment in the of your work: Name, date, week #, a class with section, and campus # (i.e. CIS273001VA016) Always zip your work into a single folder for uploading to Blackboard. You’ll want to keep each week separate so that you can review earlier iterations of your site, in case you want to revert something back based on feedback from your professor.
