Information Systems

You have just been assigned as the security consultant to a project to address security issues with the company’s wireless network. Some highly confidential information was leaked when an executive lost her tablet. What wireless security policies and management tools will you recommend and why? 

Many business environments have both visible and invisible physical security controls. You see them at the post office, at the corner store, and in certain areas of your own computing environment. They are so pervasive that some people choose where they live based on their presence, as in gated access communities or secure apartment complexes. Alison is a security analyst for a major technology corporation that specializes in data management. This company includes an in house security staff (guards, administrators, and so on) that is capable of handling physical security breaches. Brad experienced an intrusion—into his personal vehicle in the company parking lot. He asks Alison whether she observed or recorded anyone breaking into and entering his vehicle, but this is a personal item and not a company possession, and she has no control or regulation over damage to employee assets. This is understandably unnerving for Brad, but he understands that she’s protecting the business and not his belongings. When or where would you think it would be necessary to implement security measures for both?

 write a 3-page proposal detailing how you, as a senior IT manager, plan to create a culture of innovation in IT operations and integrate IT innovation into long-range strategic planning. The audience for this plan is the senior leadership. Your proposal should include recommendations for specific technology innovations and a rationale for how you expect these innovations to drive business success. 

For this assignment, review the attached research article “Cyber Security and the Internet of Things: Vulnerabilities, Threats, Intruders and Attacks” and evaluate it in 2 pages or less (700 words), using your own words, by addressing the following, What did the authors investigate, and in general how did they do so?, Identify the hypothesis or question being tested, Summarize the overall article. Identify the conclusions of the authors: indicate whether or not you think the data support their conclusions/hypothesis, consider alternative explanations for the results. Provide any additional comments pertaining to other approaches to testing their hypothesis -logical follow-up studies to build on, confirm or refute the conclusions The article you use must be at least 3 pages long and be a primary or original research article: The relevance or importance of the study, The appropriateness of the experimental design. When you write your evaluation be brief and concise, this is not meant to be an essay but an objective evaluation that one can read very easily and quickly. Also, you should include a complete reference (title, authors, journal, issue, pages) and a photocopy of the article when you turn in your evaluation.

Select three of the following information systems: Radiology, Emergency, Surgical, Dental, Pharmacy. Create a 10- to 15-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation in which you define and describe each information system, including a discussion of its purpose and use. Write a 1-page handout to accompany your presentation, and include speaker notes within the presentation.

Scenario Due to the Always Fresh expansion, management wants additional network controls to protect its growing network. Tasks Consider the Windows servers and workstations in the domains of a typical IT infrastructure. Based on your understanding of network security controls, recommend at least four possible controls that will enhance the network’s security. Focus on ensuring that controls satisfy the defense-in-depth approach to security. Summarize your network security controls in a summary report to management. You must provide a rationale for your choices by explaining how each control makes the environment more secure.

User acceptance testing, or UAT, is a round of testing in which the users who are expected to use the system after it goes live exercise the system. UAT differs from quality assurance, or QA, testing in a very important way: In UAT, real users attempt to use the system-in-development in a realistic manner—that is, the way they plan to use it after it goes live. In QA, technical people (who may or may not be familiar with how the system is actually going to be used in a business setting) exercise specific bits of functionality. Because of this difference in approach, UAT often exposes bugs that were not caught in QA. In addition, UAT allows users to feel confident that the system will work as they expect it to once it has been implemented, and to signal this confidence formally by signing off on the UAT. For this assignment, you will work with your team members to build a User Acceptance Test Plan for the team project (system) you defined collaboratively in Weeks 2 and 3. As part of this plan, you will create acceptance criteria for all user stories/scenarios associated with this project. In other words, you will collectively generate user stories/scenarios (i.e., brainstorm how users can reasonably be expected to use the system you defined) and then define each of the user stories/scenarios you list as a bug, a function not working as expected, a request for improvement, or a feature request. To complete this assignment: Read “Acceptance Criteria in Scrum: Explanation, Examples, and Template.” Review the following sections of Ch. 13, “Launch and Post-Launch: UAT, Security Testing, Performance Testing, Go Live, Rollback Criteria, and Support Mode,” in The Complete Software Project Manager: Mastering Technology from Planning to Launch and Beyond: “User Acceptance Testing: What It Is and When It Happens” “Controlling UAT and ‘We Talked About It in a Meeting Once,’ Part Deux” “Classifying UAT Feedback” “Bugs” “Not Working as Expected – The Trickiest Category” “Request for Improvement” “Feature Request” “Conflict Resolution and Final Launch List” As a group, complete the COS sheet portion of the linked UAT Plan Template. Note: Click theCOS tab that appears at the bottom of the spreadsheet to see the COS sheet. COS stands for Conditions of Satisfaction/Acceptance Criteria. Save your collaboratively completed UAT plan template using a unique file name that does not include the string “Template”. 

Please run a Google search of the term, “United States Supreme Court Carpenter v. United States 2018.” Please write an essay of not less than 500 words, summarizing the court’s decision.
