Complete the following assignment in one MS word document: 

Chapter 3 –discussion question #1-4 & exercise 12

Chapter 4 – discussion question #1-5 & exercise 2

When submitting work, be sure to include an APA cover page and include at least two APA formatted references (and APA in-text citations) to support the work this week.

All work must be original (not copied from any source).

Below attached are the resources for Chapter 3 and Chapter 4.

1) Discuss security design principles utilizing different authentication methods and (password) policies.

For example, think about the basic security design principles and how organizations utilize password policies and authentication methods.

Your team received an assignment to develop and deliver a new company Web application for outsourced suppliers to use as they help support your company’s production resources. The IT director recently returned from an OWASP conference in India and insists that the app will have strong security. As he walked out the door from your initial project briefing the IT director said, “I do not want to wait 200 days after an exploit to hear about it. If something happens, I want to know yesterday.”

Instructions

The project specs require a multi-page design. The app will need to provide an interface to your company’s supply database for reading and entering data remotely as well as the ability to contact, via the e-mail server, your company supply managers. In an effort to save money, management decided that the team will use some open-source software library modules.

Provide at least six steps in the SDLC during which security-strengthening behaviors will be applied.

Explain the specific security-relevant actions taken during each step, including the people involved, the considerations taken, and the security assurance methods used.

Identify and briefly explain at least three different security testing methods and indicate which methods analyze the app’s front end, source code, or vulnerabilities while the app is running. Justify when you would use each method.

Explain at least six different vulnerabilities that could potentially affect your app and actions that your team could take to prevent each.

Instructions

You must use the template I provided for this assignment since it will make it a lot easier for you. Failure to do so will result in a return of your paper for you to redo, a reduction in points, or both.

This second assignment also has three parts. 

The first part involves picking something you found interesting from week six, exploring it beyond the readings, and expanding on it in a paper. This section of your paper needs to be at least three pages long and cannot be about something you wrote directly about in a forum.

The second part involves picking one of the critical infrastructures you learned in week four and writing about it using the six guidelines below. You cannot write about the critical infrastructure that you wrote about in the first paper or the forum.

The third part involves picking one of the critical infrastructures you learned in week five and writing about it using the six guidelines below. You cannot write about the critical infrastructure you wrote about in the forum.

It is up to you to decide what will be the most interesting for you! 

You need to use the following outline for each of the two critical infrastructures:

• Provide a Hypothetical Threat (cyber, natural disaster, or physical)
• Brief background on the Critical Infrastructure as it relates to National Security
• Elaborate on the known Risks/Threats/Hazards/Vulnerabilities from the Hypothetical Threat
• Explain how damage from the Hypothetical Threat could impact the Dependencies/Interdependencies between critical infrastructure sectors
• Existing Resiliency related to the Continuity of Operations
• Consider how to Minimize Disruption that improves First Responder Safety. 

Technical Requirements

• Write at least seven pages, per the guidance above, and include the title page, an abstract, and a reference page (these last three items are not part of the total page count).
• Scholarly and credible references should be used. A good rule of thumb is at least two sources per content page.
• Type in Times New Roman, 12 point, and double-spaced.
• Students will follow the current APA Style (7th Edition) as the sole citation and reference style used in written work submitted as part of coursework. 
• Points will be deducted for the use of Wikipedia or encyclopedic-type sources. It is highly advised to utilize books, peer-reviewed journals, articles, archived documents, etc.
• All submissions will be graded using the assignment rubric.

• Choose one of the Business Scenario Options to establish the audience and business perspective for your Emerging Technology Analysis Report.
  • NASCAR
• Consider the Topic Options presented under each of the Emerging Technology Categories and choose one topic option to investigate, 
  •  Blockchain for Data Security

In your role as a consultant in your chosen business scenario, create a digital artifact (student choice: video, animation, presentation, storyboard, report, infographic, etc.) that covers:

• An executive summary or abstract (integrate business scenario description)
• The business and/or societal factors that contributed to the interest in and/or growth of this emerging technology
• The tools and techniques used to gauge and evaluate the usefulness and/or efficiency of this emerging technology

• 3 scholarly references
