Business Challenges Within the Seven Domains of IT Responsibility

Discussion

Read the following Scenario:

Company M designs, manufactures, and sells electronic door locks for commercial buildings. The company has approximately 1,500 employees in three locations around the United States and generates $50 million in annual revenues. Over 5,000 wholesalers and distributors access the Company M business-to-business (B2B) Web site to place orders and track fulfillment. In the past year, Company M experienced 22 information security incidents, most of which involved lost or stolen laptops, tablet PCs, and smartphones. In addition, the company dealt with four serious malware events that originated from an unpatched server, an insecure wireless network used in the manufacturing plant, an insecure remote connection used by a sales person, and a headquarters employee who downloaded a game from the Internet to her workstation. Three of the malware incidents resulted in files that were erased from the company’s sales database, which had to be restored, and one incident forced the B2B Web site to shut down for 24 hours.

Discussion requirements

• Identify and discuss technological and financial risks that Company M faces.
• Which domains of the IT infrastructure were involved during the four malware events?
• What types of security policies should Company M institute to mitigate those risks?
• Reference your work

2 paragrapgh each and separte response. 

1. “Appropriate Standards” 

• Select an organization with which you are familiar. Identify the compliance laws that you believe would be most relevant to this organization. Justify your response.
• Define the scope of an IT compliance audit that would verify whether or not this organization is in compliance with the laws you identified.

2.  “Writing System and User Requirements” Please respond to the following:

• In your reading this week, you looked at scope creep and the IEEE 830-1998 standards. Read the following discussion questions and post your initial response by Wednesday for full points. Return on a couple of other days before the Sunday due date and interact with a couple of classmates. Respond to any posters who have commented on your post and respond to the posts of others. Let’s get the conversation going… and don’t forget to have fun while you’re learning! 
  • Requirements gathering is tough. Clients are often unskilled in technology and will be unable to articulate their problems and symptoms in technical terms. To create a sufficiently detailed list of requirements, the software engineer or systems analyst must be a skilled interviewer. 
    • Discuss different techniques you can adopt to overcome the “scope creep” situation. Your answer should align with the IEEE 830-1998 standards.
    • Notes:
      • A phenomenon known as “scope creep” can derail a project when new features keep getting added, which eventually fall outside the scope of the original project. Give an example of how this might happen if your team was designing a payroll application.
      • IEEE830 defines how system requirements should be documented to ensure that all parties are on the same page regarding what the new system is expected to do or the problems it is expected to resolve. Where might some breakdowns occur?

3.     “Chapters 2 and 3”

Refer to the section marked “Discussion Questions (Evaluation)” at the back of each of the assigned chapters (Chapters 2 & 3):

1. For each chapter, pick one of the discussion questions to address. Copy the question into the forum, along with your answer (see example, below). We are looking for a post for each chapter.
2. Reply to at least two fellow students with a follow-up question, comment, or a different perspective on their discussion questions.

Example Response:

Chapter 2. #101. Consider a ball at rest in the middle of a toy wagon. When the wagon is pulled forward, the ball rolls against the back of the wagon. A friend asks what force pushes the ball to the back of the wagon. Interpret this observation in terms of Newton’s first law.

Answer: I’d tell my friend that there is no force applied to the ball. This phenomenon is actually due to the inertia of the ball. Initially, the wagon and the ball are both stationary relative to the ground. In order to get the wagon moving along the ground, a force must be applied to it. The force applied to the wagon but not to the ball. Consistent with Newton’s law of inertia, the ball remains stationary relative to the ground. With the wagon moving forward relative to the ground, but the ball remaining stationary relative to the ground, the position of the ball in the wagon shifts to the back.

Chapter 3: Consider a bob attached by a string a simple simple pendulum that swings to and fro. (a) Why does the tension force in the string not do work on the pendulum? (b) Explain, however, why the force due to gravity on the pendulum at nearly every point does do work on the pendulum. (c) Where is the single position of the pendulum where “no work by gravity” occurs?

Example Reply to a Fellow Student

In your explanation, the frame of reference is the ground. Why do you have to relate everything to the ground?

The creators of IntelliJ have placed a tutorial for creating and running your first java application in IntelliJ on the Web at:

https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/creating-and-running-your-first-java-application.html (Links to an external site.) (Links to an external site.)

 (Links to an external site.)You should  complete this tutorial up to and including the section Build and run the application. The tutorial beyond this point is about JAR files.  It is not necessary to learn about JAR files at this time.   

4. Make sure your program has proper identifying comments at the top of the file. See the document Comments in Java Software to see how to include comments in Java software.

You should submit the IntelliJ project folder created as you worked on the tutorial. Make sure you pay attention to the file location as you start the tutorial. 

To submit a CSCI 111 Java programming assignment.

1. Create a zipped copy of the IntelliJ project folder (.zip)
2. Submit the zipped folder by using the upload link for this assignment.

Before completing this assignment, You should complete the IntelliJ Hello Word assignment to make sure you know how to use IntelliJ.

Read through Chapter 2 from the the Java Learning Kit, then complete and submit any one of the exercises 6 through 9  at the end of Chapter 2 .  The chapter is included in this week’s files. 

Each of these exercises requires you to create interactive I-P-O software that asks the user for some input, processes the data, then outputs the result.  They are similar to the corresponding exercises you saw in Python. You may pick an exercise similar to the one you used for your earlier Python IPO assignment, or a different exercise. 

Be sure that program is well documented. Your output should be attractive, useful, and easy to understand. Your code should be well-documented, readable, and well-organized.

To submit a CSCI 111 Java programming assignment.

1. Create a zipped copy of the IntelliJ project folder
2. Submit the zipped folder by using the upload link for this assignment.
