Information Systems

Background: According to Turban (2015), The major objective of IoT systems is to improve productivity, quality, speed, and quality of life. There are potentially several major benefits from IoT, especially when combined with Artificial Intelligence (AI). Reference: Sharda, R., Delen, Dursun, and Turban, E. (2020). Analytics, Data Science, & Artificial Intelligence: Systems for Decision Support. 11th Edition. By PEARSON Education. Inc. ISBN-13: 978-0-13-519201-6. Assignment/Research: Go ahead and make a list of the major benefits and drivers of IoT, thereafter pick two from each list and discuss them briefly.  Your research paper should be at least three pages (800 words), double-spaced, have at least 4 APA references, and typed in an easy-to-read font in MS Word (other word processors are fine to use but save it in MS Word format). Your cover page should contain the following: Title, Student’s name, University’s name, Course name, Course number, Professor’s name, and Date.

As Fennelly (2017:279-282) noted, glass-windows tend to play a health-giving role by allowing sunlight, visibility and ventilation into a building and making the structure a healthy facility. Using up-to-date and innovative technology often contributes to a relaxed, healthy and healthy standard of living in any community. If you are inspired and in agreement with author Fennelly, use your physical security expertise to provide well-synthesized descriptions on the importance of glass-windows and contribution to a relaxed and healthy standard of living in any community. Indicate which of these categories of five glass-windows will satisfy the “relaxed and healthy standard of living in any community:” laminated, sheet, tempered, bullet-resistant and float glasses.

The World Wide Web is continuously expanding. This creates new opportunities, practically for the entire society. As a result, more and more companies, government agencies, and individuals have and use Web sites.  However, this development is not without problems. There are security risks that affect Web servers, the local area networks that host Web sites, and even individual users of Web browsers. The purpose of this session is to investigate the general requirements for Web security and the role of the specific security tools in increasing Internet and Web security. For instance, you may consider that you are a Webmaster or a system administrator. The moment you install a Web server at your site you have exposed your network to a number of risks. Now, you are put in the position to find solutions to the following issues: Exactly what types of security risks you have to face? What general security precautions should you take? What are the most important steps you would recommend for securing a new Web server?

Imagine that you are the Information Systems Security Specialist for a medium-sized federal government contractor. The Chief Security Officer (CSO) is worried that the organization’s current methods of access control are no longer sufficient. In order to evaluate the different methods of access control, the CSO requested that you research: mandatory access control (MAC), discretionary access control (DAC). and role-based access control (RBAC). Then, prepare a report addressing the positive and negative aspects of each access control method. This information will be presented to the Board of Directors at their next meeting. Further, the CSO would like your help in determining the best access control method for the organization. Write a three to five-page paper in which you:  Explain in your own words the elements of the following methods of access control: a. Mandatory access control (MAC) b. Discretionary access control (DAC) c. Role-based access control (RBAC) 2. Compare and contrast the positive and negative aspects of employing a MAC. DAC. and RBA, 3. Suggest methods to mitigate the negative aspects of MAC, DAC. and RBAC. 4. Evaluate the use of MAC, DAC, and RBAC methods in the organization and recommend the best method for the organization. Provide a rationale for your response. 5. Speculate on the foreseen challenge(s) when the organization applies the method you chose. Suggest a strategy to address such a challenge(s). 6. Use at least three quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources. Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements: This course requires use of Strayer Web, Standards (SWS). The format is different than other Strayer University courses. Please take a moment to review the SWS documentation for details. • Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name. the professor’s name, the course title. and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length. The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are: Analyze information security systems compliance requirements within the User Domain. • Use technology and information resources to research issues in security strategy and policy formation. • Write clear, and concise, about topics related to information technology audit and control using proper writing mechanics and technical style conventions. 

The organizational support services team serves a vital role, to address the needs of the employees and customers. What value do they add in terms of security policy implementations?

In Chapters 26 and 27, we are discussing the case studies of Bim Consultants and Nerds Galore companies. One of the risks that an enterprise  needs to address is employee satisfaction. High turnover of employees underlines a problem at the workplace, which can affect customer satisfaction and pose a threat to the business. The new HR VP at Nerds Galore has decided to address the high turnover issue at the company through a series of steps including outsourcing. If you are to address high turnover risk at your organization, what steps would you take? How does this may impact the organizational culture and employee morale? To complete this assignment, you must do the following: A) Create a new thread. As indicated above, assume that you have been asked to address high turnover problem at your company (or at Nerds Galore Inc), what steps would you take? How does this may impact the organizational culture and employee morale? ANSWER ALL OF THE QUESTIONS ABOVE IN YOUR THREAD B) Select AT LEAST 2 other students’ threads and post substantive comments on those threads, evaluating the pros and cons of that student’s recommendations. Your comments should extend the conversation started with the thread. ALL original posts and comments must be substantive. (I’m looking for about a paragraph – not just “I agree.”) NOTE: These discussions should be informal discussions, NOT research papers. If you MUST directly quote a resource, then cite it properly. However, I would much rather simply read your words.

Assignment 1: Multi-Touch Screens vs. Mouse-Driven Screens Due Week 3 and worth 180 points  The following resources may be helpful when completing this assignment.  Dearden, A. (2008). User-Centred Design Considered Harmful Norman, D. (2007–2010). Activity-Centred Design: Why I like my Harmony Remote Control Computer applications that run on desktop and laptop computers have, for a long time, been designed to be driven by dragging and clicking a mouse. With the introduction of tablet personal computers, the trend has shifted toward using touch-based screens. We now have access to touch-based TVs, touch-based monitors, touch-based laptops and touch-based tablets. Touch and multi-touch devices provide end-users with the ability to interact physically with an application much more naturally.  Imagine that you are the Information Technology Director of a major chain restaurant, and you have been assigned to design a menu ordering application that can run on all devices. Examine whether using a touch-screen monitor, a tablet or using a mouse to select menu items to place an order would be most efficient. Speculate how employees would interact with these devices and the type of emotional reaction that customers and employees will experience while placing a beverage, appetizer or entrée order.  Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:  Differentiate between the interaction types and styles that apply to multi-touch screens and applications running on them. Determine the conceptual model that you would use when designing a product for your restaurant. Describe the key analogies and concepts these monitors expose to users, including the task-domain objects users manipulate on the screen. Determine one (1) utility/tool in an application for touch-based and mouse-driven screens that should be designed with memory retention/recall. Provide a rationale for your response. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources. You may use the resources above or others of your choosing. Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements: This course requires the use of new Strayer Writing Standards (SWS). The format is different from other Strayer University courses. Please take a moment to review the SWS documentation for details.

Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required assignment page length. Include a reference page. Citations and references must follow the SWS format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.  The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:  Describe the relationship between the cognitive principles and their application to interfaces and products. Explain the conceptual terms for analyzing human interaction with affordance, conceptual models, and feedback. Use technology and information resources to research issues in human-computer interaction. Write clearly and concisely about human-computer interaction topics using proper writing mechanics and technical style conventions. Grading for this assignment will be based on answer quality, logic/organization of the paper, and language and writing skills, using this rubric

Discuss ways in which data is transmitted in approximately 400 words.

For this assignment, research cutting-edge technologies in the area of databases, data management, big data, business intelligence, cloud technology, etc. You should assume that you are presenting to the management group at your company, with the intention of having them adopt the technology for one of their products. If you do not currently work for an organization, you may develop a hypothetical situation. Choose one cutting-edge technology and research it in depth. This technology must be cutting edge and, therefore, should not yet have wide adoption in the industry. Prepare a PowerPoint (or similar technology) presentation, in which you do the following: Identify the new technology and provide a comprehensive discussion of the new technology’s functionality. Discuss the new technology’s advantages and disadvantages. Discuss the evolution of technology. Contrast its current functionality with the functionality of its predecessors. Evaluate the new technology in terms of the business solutions that would potentially address. In addition to your presentation, create a brief video in which you summarize your presentation for management.
