Using  the same dataset as last week or a different one, select two  qualitative variables and two quantitative variables. Explain why you  selected these variables. 
Analysis:

• For your qualitative variables, create a contingency table and calculate the association between them. 
• For  your quantitative variables, calculate the correlation between them.  Include scatter plot to visually represent this relationship. 

Interpretation:  Explain your findings. What does the association or correlation say  about the relationship between your variables? Is the relationship  strong, weak, positive, negative, or nonexistent? 
Reflection:  Reflect on the importance of understanding associations and  correlations in data analysis and how they can guide further data  investigation. 
Submission Format: Your submission should be a maximum of 500-600 words. Submit your assignment in APA format as a Word document or a PDF file. Include  both your written analysis and any visualizations or tables that  support your findings. If you use any software for your calculations  (Excel), please include your code or  formulas as well.

 Please see the attached discussion Word document for questions.

Security design principles are fundamental concepts that provide a basis for understanding, developing, and evaluating security mechanisms. These principles include least privilege, fail-safe defaults, economy of mechanism, complete mediation, open design, separation of privilege, least common mechanism, and psychological acceptability (Gollmann, 2011). Authentication methods are used to verify the identity of users, systems, and applications. The most common method is password-based authentication, where users are required to enter a unique password. However, this method has its weaknesses such as the possibility of password cracking or guessing. To mitigate these risks, organizations implement password policies that dictate the complexity, length, and expiration of passwords (Jermyn, et al., 1999). In terms of other authentication methods, two-factor authentication (2FA) or multi-factor authentication (MFA) have been adopted widely. 2FA requires the user to provide two different types of information, typically something they know like a password, and something they have, such as a security token or a smartphone app. MFA extends this by requiring additional verification methods like biometrics (Furnell, 2007).

The principle of least privilege suggests that a user should be given the minimum levels of access necessary to complete their tasks. This can be achieved through the use of role-based access control (RBAC), where access rights are based on the role of the user within the organization (Sandhu et al., 1996). Similarly, the principle of fail-safe defaults means that access decisions should deny by default, and the access should be granted only when permitted. This principle can be implemented through the use of access control lists (ACLs), where each resource has an associated list of users that are permitted access (Gollmann, 2011). Ultimately, organizations should consider these security design principles when implementing authentication methods and password policies to ensure the security of their systems and data.

The principle of “Least Privilege” shows the importance of restricting user access to only the resources essential for their role within the organization. By implementing strong authentication methods, like biometrics or multi-factor authentication (MFA), and strong password policies, organizations can ensure that only authorized individuals have access to sensitive data or critical systems. This principle not only reduces the potential impact of insider threats but also mitigates the consequences of external attacks seeking to exploit weak authentication mechanisms. These measures not only enhance the overall security of a business but also create a culture of accountability among it’s users. Regularly updating password policies to show evolving security threats and educating people about the importance of secure authentication practices further solidifies the organization’s dedication to protecting against potential breaches. Additionally, implementing automated access controls that adjust user permissions based on changing roles or responsibilities aligns with the principle of least privilege, ensuring that users only have access to the resources necessary for their current tasks. Through these multifaceted approaches, organizations can effectively mitigate the risk of unauthorized access and protect sensitive assets from potential compromise. 

Once I’ve learned about my field’s discourse community, what do I do with that information?

After you have looked at your program in the library’s page, do the following steps.

1. Go to a generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) site, such as ChatGPT or Google Bard, and type a question like this into the site’s chat box:

What style of writing do professionals in the field of ___(type in your program)___ use?

Example questions to ask AI:

What style of writing do professionals in the field of nursing use? 

What style of writing do professionals in the field of sports fitness use?

Copy and paste the answer from AI into a Word document. Be sure to write in the name of the AI tool you used to get these results. You will be pasting this information in the template to be turned in.

(NOTE: This site is a comprehensive catalog of AI tools: Futurepedia, The Largest AI Tools Directory. It is updated daily. Do a search for General Writing to get started.)

1. Open the template for the assignment and save it as a Word file with the title “(Your last name) Report on Communication.”
2. Answer the questions on the template with the information you have gathered and the analysis you have done.

Item 1 of the Portfolio:  Report on the Communication in My Field of Study (due in week 2)

For this assignment you will complete a form, providing information about 4 things:

1. The program (discipline) you are studying (examples: Intelligence Studies or Criminal Justice).
2. Some ways you learned about folks in your discipline (looking at journals, websites, organizations, books, blogs, podcasts, etc.).
3. Tips for communicating with folks in your discipline gathered from Artificial Intelligence (AI).
4. YOUR tips for communicating with folks in your discipline (merging AI observations with your own).

Read the information below for a broad understanding of the purpose of this assignment. Refer to the attached template for more specific details on what to do.

This is for a research class in IT. Using the three sources that I will provide merge it into your own research or merge the three sources together and write a 6-7 page paper on the main topic from the three sources. Leave the abstract blank since I already have written the abstract for it. I have also provided a sample paper of what the paper and format should look like along with a template. Must be your own work. 0% plagiarism and AI( Artificial intelligence tolerance). The provided three sources must be used. Supporting references of your choice can also be used in addition to the 3 primary sources.
