Assume that you are designing a network architecture for a complex enterprise with a
diverse application, user community, and end-user device mix. This enterprise has
exposure to the Internet in addition to providing remote access for employees to internal
sites via a Virtual Private Network (VPN).
2. Choose a specialty topic from Module 7: Week 7 (Cellular Security, Cloud Security,
Optical Wireless Security, RFID Security, Industrial Security, Bluetooth Security, or
Internet of Things (IOT) Security). Sample references are included in Blackboard. Note
that any other topic besides these must be approved in advance by the instructor.
3. Create a network diagram for the fictitious Liberty Beverages Corporation using any
diagramming tool you wish (e.g., Visio, MS Paint, application at http://www.draw.io) for
the diagram– but be sure to paste a standard image (e.g., JPG, PNG) of it in the final
report. Include at least the following elements:
a. Remote devices used by employees and vendors
b. Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) facing externally
c. Firewall(s)
d. IDS/IPS solution
e. SIEM
f. Components integrated from chosen specialty topic
4. Describe and define the following security threats with at least a paragraph each. Also
describe what makes each vulnerability a threat and impact to the business.
a. Denial of Service (DOS) and Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attacks
b. Worms, virus, Trojan horses, and other malware.
c. Man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks
d. Rootkit injections
e. Misconfiguration of remote mobile devices
5. Document how five (5) or more components and measures in the network architecture, as
well as host-based measures, address the security threats from the previous step. The
components could be a combination of software or hardware in nature – such as firewalls,

IDS/IPS, routers, switches, anti-virus/malware software, full-disk encryption (FDE) and
encryption in transit, remote device management software, etc.
6. Describe in three (3) or more paragraphs the specific security threats regarding the
specialty topic you chose. These are in addition to those from step 4.
7. Describe in three (3) or more paragraphs the security controls (and their rationale for
inclusion) that you will implement to mitigate against the security threats of the chosen
specialty.
8. Beyond the network design, what additional procedural/governance measures do you
recommend to address security concerns (e.g., training, procedures, policies)? Describe in
two (2) or more paragraphs at least one measure.
9. Describe in one or more paragraphs how biblical principles come to bear with your
proposed design and approach. Include specific scriptural references.
Outputs
Write a project report in a research-based paper in current APA format that includes all the
instructions described above. It must be ten (10) or more double-spaced pages of content. The
assignment must also include a title page, as well as a reference page with at least 10 references in
addition to the course textbook and the Bible.

Read the Suburban Homes Construction Project case study found at the end of chapters 1 through 4, CPM 4e and answer the following questions in a paper formatted using a question-response format:

Question 1 (from Unit 1) – What advice would you offer to Adam Smith on improving the performance of project management and increasing project success rate?  Minimum 250 words.

Question 2 (from Unit 4) – Describe the organizational structure that might best suit Suburban Homes.  Ensure that your discussion includes all possible structures and why each is ruled out.  Minimum 250 words.

Question 3 (from Unit 4) – Describe the type of lifecycle best suited for their emphasis on high-quality construction.  Ensure that your discussion includes at least 3 possible lifecycles and why two of them are ruled out.  Minimum 250 words.

You will be assessed on content and mechanics.

Content (30 points/question):  The content must be based on the case study materials and reading assignments.  The PMBOK 6e and CPM 4e, along with other reputable resources can be used to supplement the responses through summarizing, paraphrasing and quoting those sources.  

Mechanics (10 points):  Each question response must be at at minimum 250 words.  “Minimum” is that amount typically needed to meet expectations (to earn a “B”).  To exceed expectations (to earn an “A”), a deeper discussion is needed. Each reference should be listed at the end of the paper following APA guidelines.  Online blogs are not acceptable references.  See Purdue OWL website for guidance on in-text citations.

Your Instructor will use Turn-it-in to ensure your paper is authentic work. To avoid plagiarism, see the course home page for more information and use the Purdue Online Writing Lab to learn how to paraphrase, summarize and cite the references you use in all academic writing assignments.

Chapter 13 discussed managing complex systems and chapter 15 introduced the advantages of visual decision support. Discuss how you would combine the two concepts to create visualizations for an ABM-Based Gaming simulation for policy making. First, describe what specific policy you’re trying to create. Let’s stick with the SmartCity scenario. Describe a specific policy, and how you plan to use ABM-Based Gaming to build a model for simulate the effects of the policy. Then, describe what type of visualization technique you’ll use to make the model more accessible. Use figure 15.9 and describe what data a new column for your policy would contain.

In a corporate, networked setting, should end users be allowed to install applications on their company workstations, whether the applications are on a DVD or downloaded from the Internet? Be sure to weigh security against usability.
