Project Deliverable 2: Risk Assessment Outline and Certification Test Matrix Plan

For this deliverable you will generate the Risk Assessment Outline and the Certification Test Matrix Plan based on the results of the Potential Vulnerabilities Report created in Module 1.

Risk Assessment
Using the format in the Howard text on page 279, develop the Risk Assessment Outline. Insert this document as Appendix 2 in the SSP submitted in Module 1. 

Certification Text Matrix
Using the format in the Howard text on page 285, create a certification test matrix. Insert this as Appendix 3 in the SSP.

You may find the Threat List helpful in generating these appendices.

Submit this assignment to Canvas no later than the date identified above.

Question:  When law enforcement becomes involved, the need may arise to freeze systems as part of the evidence. There is also the likelihood that the incident will become known publicly. Do you think these issues play a significant part in the decision to involve law enforcement? Why or why not? Can you name some situations in which you believe that large organizations have decided not to involve law enforcement?

***Standard for all  AssignmentsYour paper should meet the following requirements:

• Be approximately four pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.
• Follow APA7 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.
• Support your answers with the readings from the course and at least two scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook. The UC Library is a great place to find resources.
• Be clearly and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing.

In this assignment, you will gain experience working with OpenAI Gym, which is a set of problems that can be explored with different reinforcement learning algorithms. This assignment is designed to help you apply the concepts you have been learning about Q-learning algorithms to the “cartpole” problem, a common reinforcement learning problem.

Note: The original code referenced in this assignment was written in Python 2.x. You have been given a zipped folder containing an updated Python 3 version of the code that will work in the Apporto environment. To make this code work, some lines have been commented out. Please leave these as comments.

Prompt

Access the Virtual Lab (Apporto) by using the link in the Virtual Lab Access module. It is recommended that you use the Chrome browser to access the Virtual Lab. If prompted to allow the Virtual Lab access to your clipboard, click “Yes”, as this will allow you to copy text from your desktop into applications in the Virtual Lab environment.

1. Review the following reading: Cartpole: Introduction to Reinforcement Learning. In order to run the code, upload the Cartpole.zip folder into the Virtual Lab (Apporto). Unzip the folder, then upload the unzipped folder into your Documents folder in Apporto. Refer to the Jupyter Notebook in Apporto (Virtual Lab) Tutorial to help with these tasks.

   Note: The Cartpole folder contains the Cartpole.ipynb file (Jupyter Notebook) and a scores folder containing score_logger.py (Python file). It is very important to keep the score_logger.py file in the scores folder (directory).

2. Open Jupyter Notebook and open up the Cartpole.ipynb and score_logger.py files. Be sure to review the code in both of these files. Rename the Cartpole.ipynb file using the following naming convention:

   __Assignment5.ipynb

   Thus, if your name is Jane Doe, please name the submission file “Doe_Jane_Assignment5.ipynb”.

3. Next, run the code in Cartpole.ipynb. The code will take several minutes to run and you should see a stream of output while the file runs. When you see the following output, the program is complete:

   Solved in _ runs, _ total runs.

   Note: If you receive the error “NameError: name ‘exit’ is not defined” after the above line, you can ignore it.

4. Modify the values for the exploration factor, discount factor, and learning rates in the code to understand how those values affect the performance of the algorithm. Be sure to place each experiment in a different code block so that your instructor can view all of your changes.

   Note: Discount factor = GAMMA, learning rate = LEARNING_RATE, exploration factor = combination of EXPLORATION_MAX, EXPLORATION_MIN, and EXPLORATION_DECAY.

5. Create a Markdown cell in your Jupyter Notebook after the code and its outputs. In this cell, you will be asked to analyze the code and relate it to the concepts from your readings. You are expected to include resources to support your answers, and must include citations for those resources.

   Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:

   • Explain how reinforcement learning concepts apply to the cartpole problem.
     • What is the goal of the agent in this case?
     • What are the various state values?
     • What are the possible actions that can be performed?
     • What reinforcement algorithm is used for this problem?
   • Analyze how experience replay is applied to the cartpole problem.
     • How does experience replay work in this algorithm?
     • What is the effect of introducing a discount factor for calculating the future rewards?
   • Analyze how neural networks are used in deep Q-learning.
     • Explain the neural network architecture that is used in the cartpole problem.
     • How does the neural network make the Q-learning algorithm more efficient?
     • What difference do you see in the algorithm performance when you increase or decrease the learning rate?

Guidelines for Submission

Please submit your completed IPYNB file. Make sure that your file is named as specified above, and that you have addressed all rubric criteria in your response. Sources should be cited in APA style.
