Refer to the company you researched in the “Wk 1 Discussion – Security Policies” and review the data classification schemes in use within that company’s industry. In 175 words or more discuss the following: How difficult was the classification scheme to locate? Why might that be? What are the classification levels in place? How do they vary depending on the different industries? Are the types of data classified the same in each industry? Should they be the same in each type of organization?

DUE IN 36 HOURS The most frequently used measures of central tendency for quantitative data are the mean and the median. The following table shows civil service examination scores from 24 applicants to law enforcement jobs:83        74        85        79 82        67        78        7018        93        64        27 93        98        82        7868        82        83        99 96        62        93  58Using Excel, find the mean, standard deviation, and 5-number summary of this sample. Construct and paste a box plot depicting the 5-number summary. Does the dataset have outliers? If so, which one(s)? Would you prefer to use the mean or the median as of this dataset’s measure of central tendency? Why

Three months ago, you decided to hire freelance workers because the company was overloaded by data processing work (due to the growth of the company). Today is the last Friday of the month and you have to process the invoices from the freelance workers. The freelance workers are doing an excellent job processing the invoices. The number of hours used to complete the work, however, increases each month. Last month, the freelancers’ timesheets showed they spent an average of 18 hours to go through the data for one client. This month, the freelancers spent an average of 25 hours per account. This is troubling since it took in-house processing 5–7 hours to go through the data for one client. The most inexperienced employee on the team took nine hours to process one client’s account. You discussed the situation with another manager and he suggested using a software program called EyeSpy that takes pictures of freelancers’ computer screens and records keystrokes and mouse clicks periodically throughout the day. At the end of each week, you can drill down by worker, examining their productivity to give you an accurate report of who is doing what while on the clock. Should the company be allowed to install the EyeSpy software to monitor performance? If not, what other suggestions do you have on finding out why there are variations in the freelancer’s timesheet. Is it legal for organizations to monitor the performance of the employees without telling them? Why or why not?

This is my topic for the essay: The New York Privacy Act differs from the EU’s GDPR and California’s CCPA by its use of data fiduciaries. Is a data fiduciary approach the best at protecting privacy in the digital age?

The goal is to do the Literature Review chapter of a Masters/Dissertation around the topic of Data Loss/Leakage Prevention. I already have some pages done (which I can share after to ensure the document is complemented with new topics and not the same) and the goal is to improve them (optionally) and create new content (around 20 pages) around the topic of Data Loss Prevention (Computer Science). It should include at least and not limited to:  – Traditional technologies used to protect information (IPS/HIPS), Firewall, AV (to explain how they are different from DLP)  – How DLP works  – DLP Architecture  – Detection technologies (DAR, DIM, DIU)  – disk encryption to complement DLP Solutions  – data breaches  – insider threats   Being the Literature Review a key chapter in a Master Thesis, solid sources/references are key. i can also provide some material around the subject.

Write an essay of at least 500 words discussing the reasons for the two new auditing roles in Oracle 12c. Why did Oracle consider them necessary? What problems do they solve?

SCENARIO: Your organization is located within a flood zone. Winter weather combined with warming temperatures has caused flooding throughout the area. Local authorities have declared a state of emergency. In the midst of managing the flooding, a ransomware attack occurs on your facility, making computer systems inoperable. What is your response? Discussion questions • Do you have a COOP (Continuity of Operations Plan) or DRP (Disaster Recovery Plan)? o If so, do you carry out an annual simulation to ensure the COOP or DRP is sufficient and running smoothly? • Do you have an Incident Response Plan (IRP) that specifically details ransomware steps? o What steps will you take if restoring from backup is not an option? o Does your IRP only take into account the financial implications of a cybersecurity incident, or does it consider the severity of the situation as well? o Do you have a plan in place for how to acquire bitcoin? o Have you considered that a targeted ransomware attack may require more bitcoin than is easily accessible on the market? • Do you have a backup for completing Emergency Operations Center (EOC) processes without a computer system? o Can you route emergency communications/processes through a neighboring entity? • Who do you need to notify, and how will you do so? o Consider that increased phone traffic may be congesting the lines.

This Assignment is helpful in developing the groundwork for understanding and integrating evidence-based practice in healthcare throughout the rest of the course. In this Assignment, you will have the chance to see how the research you look for can be applied in the work you do in your practice. Overview: You will select a topic relevant to your practice area, post the topic to Discussion Board 2 for feedback, research the topic, and write a scholarly paper. From the chapter readings and discussion, formulate a 3–5 page scholarly paper in APA format, providing an overview of the terms and function of EPB. An introduction, discussion, and conclusion is expected in the overview of this topic Directions: Formulate the question. Using the Cochrane database, research the question using the PICOT model and keywords. Post your topic and a short summary of results for feedback from your instructor and peers by Day 5. Write a 3–to 5-page paper, reviewing evidence-based practice, as it relates to your practice question and integrate feedback from the instructor and/or peers.
