Requirements

Answer the following question(s):

1. A best practice for threat assessments within the seven domains of a typical IT infrastructure is

“Assume nothing, recognizing that things change.” What do you think “assume nothing” means in

this context?

2. A best practice for performing vulnerability assessments within the seven domains of a typical IT

infrastructure is to identify assets first. Why should you identify assets before performing

vulnerability scans?

Fully address the questions in this discussion; provide valid rationale for your choices.

CSE 461 Project I

The first part of this project requires that you implement a class that will be used to simulate a disk drive. The disk drive will have numberofblocks many blocks where each block has blocksize many bytes. The interface for the class Sdisk should include :

Class Sdisk



{



public :



Sdisk(string diskname, int numberofblocks, int blocksize);



int getblock(int blocknumber, string& buffer);



int putblock(int blocknumber, string buffer);



int getnumberofblocks(); // accessor function



int getblocksize(); // accessor function



private :



string diskname;        // file name of software-disk



int numberofblocks;     // number of blocks on disk



int blocksize;          // block size in bytes



};

An explanation of the member functions follows :

• Sdisk(diskname, numberofblocks, blocksize) This constructor incorporates the creation of the disk with the “formatting” of the device. It accepts the integer values numberofblocks, blocksize, a string diskname and creates a Sdisk (software-disk). The Sdisk is a file of characters which we will manipulate as a raw hard disk drive. The function will check if the file diskname exists. If the file exists, it is opened and treated as a Sdisk with numberofblocks many blocks of size blocksize. If the file does not exist, the function will create a file called diskname which contains numberofblocks*blocksize many characters. This file is logically divided up into numberofblocks many blocks where each block has blocksize many characters. The text file will have the following structure : Bytes 0 – blocksize-1Block 0Bytes blocksize – 2*blocksize-1Block 1Bytes 2*blocksize – 3*blocksize-1Block 2……Bytes ?-?Block numberofblocks-1
• getblock(blocknumber,buffer) retrieves block blocknumber from the disk and stores the data in the string buffer. It returns an error code of 1 if successful and 0 otherwise.
• putblock(blocknumber,buffer) writes the string buffer to block blocknumber. It returns an error code of 1 if successful and 0 otherwise.

IMPLEMENTATION GUIDELINES : It is essential that your software satisfies the specifications. These will be the only functions (in your system) which physically access the Sdisk. NOTE that you must also write drivers to test and demonstrate your program.

For this week’s assignment, you will have multiple requirements. First you will select an IT policy lifecycle. Thinking about the course case study, consider the most appropriate Lifecycle to help drive policy. You can select a lifecycle that has already been developed, or you may create your own. State the name of your lifecycle, provide a visual if available and walk through the phases/stages of the lifecycle.

Next, use the lifecycle to drive a selection for a Policy Framework for your plan that will be applied to PYZ Tech. Create, define, and discuss how the policy will be managed. Continue to keep your governance framework and the outline of areas that should be included with these types of plans in mind.

The IT policy framework can be similar to the governance framework in structure, but it should have a focus on policy and procedures. This can be a visual or a narrative component to the assignment. Remember to always include some narrative explanation when providing visuals as a component to the overall plan.

Note: I am uploading a picture of lifecycle I have selected. Write the assignment accordingly

It is important for students to understand how their curriculum is applied to real world workplace environments. How what you are studying can or will benefit you in your current, or future, career. For this assignment, you will need to review your program’s curriculum and goals and compare that to your current job/internship (if unemployed, reflect on a job/career that you desire to obtain in the future). To complete the assignment, please follow the below instructions:

Courses: 

 1. Comp Crimes & Digital Forensic.

 2. Digital Forensics Tools & Tech.

1. Review your program’s goals and curriculum on the UC Webpage and the UC Graduate Course Catalog:

• Webpage Links found here: https://www.ucumberlands.edu/academics/graduate#programs
• Graduate Catalog: https://www.ucumberlands.edu/academics/academic-catalog

1. Reflect on (research, if needed) your current (or future) job duties and responsibilities.

Assignment Details:Part 1 – Identify a Problem

• Problem solving starts by being able to identify existing problems, gaps in service, inefficient systems/processes, flawed policies, or any other areas of our job/career where improvement is needed. Identify a problem or gap at your workplace and explain why/how this problem exists.

Part 2 – Solve the Problem

• Use your knowledge that you’ve learned in the program (or hope to learn in a future course) to implement a plan to solve the problem.

Grading Expectations:

•  Fully answer both parts of the assignment.
• Word requirement: 400-500 words

*Please include job details (job title and employer, if available).
