Q1. There are a lot of strategies for setting up network defense systems. Physical restrictions can be put in place, such as separating hardware, or using switches and cabling to do so. One can also use virtualized segmentation in the form of VLANs, and virtual networks (including switches). What strategy do you feel is best suited to defend against modern cybersecurity threats? State your opinion concerning which technologies you would deploy if you were positioned to protect the GCU campus from cybersecurity threats. (~200 words)   Q2. There are hundreds of thousands of potential cybersecurity attacks, which exist in the form of hackers, viruses, malware, ransomware, and other vectors. The most effective way of mitigating their effects is identifying them before they can become active. What modern security methods and tools can be used to do this? Why are they not 100% effective? Explain your rationale. (~200 words)   Q3. The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) was passed in 1998 and established the first framework for online privacy protection for children under 13 who use the Internet. Essentially, COPPA mandates what personal and marketing information, if any, webmasters can collect from minors and details what must be disclosed in a privacy policy. Given the expansive nature of data collection and widespread use of Internet connected devices, should COPPA be expanded to: (1) children who are 13-18 years old or (2) all citizens utilizing the Internet? Why or why not? How would your answer affect/align with business objectives? (~250 words) Q4. Information privacy or data protection laws are generally designed to prohibit publication or misuse of information about private individuals. Many countries around the world, including all of Europe, have adopted some form of comprehensive data protection legislation. In the United States however, there is no single, comprehensive law regulating the collection and use of personal data on the federal level. Instead, there is a patchwork system of federal and state laws and regulations that can sometimes overlap or contradict one another. Thus, governmental agencies and industry groups have developed self-regulatory guidelines and frameworks or “best practices” that are increasingly being used as a tool for enforcement by regulators. Some of the most notable federal privacy laws include the following: 1.     The Federal Trade Commission Act 2.     The Financial Services Modernization Act 3.     The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act 4.     The Fair Credit Reporting Act 5.     The Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act 6.     Telephone Consumer Protection Act 7.     The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act 8.     The Electronic Communications Privacy Act 9.     The Judicial Redress Act In October 2016, under the Obama administration, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted a set of privacy rule for broadband ISP providers that established a framework of customer consent required for ISPs to use and share their customers’ personal information that was calibrated to the sensitivity of the information. The rules would have incorporated the controversial inclusion of browsing history and apps usage as sensitive information, requiring opt-in consent. They also would have included data security and breach notification requirements. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which oversees consumer privacy compliance for other companies, does not currently treat consumer browsing history or apps usage as sensitive data. On April 3rd, 2017, President Donald Trump signed into law a bill that repealed those privacy and data security regulations. Given the pervasive amount of user information that is collected, stored, and shared, (1) do you think Internet browser history and app usage should be considered “sensitive data,” and if so, (2) should the FCC Privacy Policy Rule have been repealed? Discuss why the United States has been reluctant to pass comprehensive broad data and privacy protection laws. (~250 words) Note: Please add at least one scholar reference to each question.

Within the Discussion Board area, write 400–600 words that respond to the following questions (listed below) with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas: Before you start this assignment, please read the story entitled Home Health Aids Database. This can be found in the Relational Database Modeling MUSE. This can also be found in your text materials for Week 2. This is a direct link to Home Health Aids Database. After reviewing the story, conduct research online into the various possibilities for analyzing and approaching the system documentation problems that are presented, and propose possible solutions. Address the following: Discuss the specific recommendations that you would make based on your personal experience and research. Discuss what effective communication processes are and how technology can be used to facilitate communication. Provide specific examples of how you would address the communication problems mentioned in the story and how your problem-solving technique could be implemented for the company mentioned in the story. How can you apply the lessons that you learned from the story to your own retail store problem? Provide feedback on the problem-solving recommendations that your classmates made.

The first Mini-Exam is a Reflection Paper, focusing on a specific IT application or system. You can choose any one technological alternative discussed in Part I and examine how the technology is being applied in public or nonprofit sectors. [For example, you can choose “Blockchain Applications in Public Sector” and write about the uses of blockchain in public sector.] You should provide at least three sections: (a) basic principles of the technology; (b) uses of the technology in the public or nonprofit sector; and (c) an in-depth empirical case study where the technology has been applied. Obviously, all papers should have an introduction and a conclusion.

Information Quality https://georgiasouthern.desire2learn.com/d2l/common/viewFile.d2lfile/Database/NzcyMzczNg/In formation%20Quality%20Workbook%20%20(1).xlsx?ou=567134 (workbook link)- Accuracy: The workbook is somewhat lacking when it comes to accuracy. Many purchase prices and item numbers are missing entirely.  – Timeliness: The information is timely as it does coincide with the most recent sales period of 2019.- Relevance – Being Just Sufficient – Being Worth its Cost  – Having Correct Detail – Ease to Use 1. Do we have repeat buyers? We do not possess the details or ease of use to answer this question.  2. Are sales increasing year over year in January? If the information is accurate and timely it shows that sales have actually decreased. 3. What are the trends of average sales prices year over year? 4. What categories of items have the best trending sales?  5. What are the trends in shipping costs? 6. Am I going to run out of stock in January 2020?

Create a database similar to what we did in class. This database will have one table. Call the table inventory. The inventory table should contain the following columns: pallet_id = unique value for the pallet, product_id = unique value for the product,Production_Date = date made,Shelf_life= how many days the product is good for,QTY= Quantity of an item on the pallet.Determine what should be the key for the inventory table. Note: Multiple products can be on a pallet as well the same product produced on multiple dates. Add the primary key.Load some records.Create a view that lists products that will expire within the next few days (return all columns).Create a second view that lists all the pallets and how much product is on them by sku.Document How you would change this table and move it to third normal form.Create a backup of your database/upload the database backup and document how you would change the table to 3rd normal form.Note: On the two views for this assignment.View one: Products that will be expiring soon. This will require a calculation using two of he fields in the table. View Two: Product Qty by Pallet. Question to ask yourself: If we produced more of a product today and added it to one of the pallets that already contained that product, would your totals be accurate? Also assume we can have multiple products on a single pallet, so we need to include product_id in the result of this view.
