Contingency planning is a risk mitigation process for developing back-up plans in anticipation of events (scenarios) that might disrupt ‘business as usual’. Business continuity planning is an expanded version of contingency planning that typically encompasses a more comprehensive and extended response plan for getting back to ‘business as usual’. In a well-formatted, highly-detailed research paper, address the need to contingency planning, ensuring to address the following items:(1) Benefits of scenario events/planning.
(2) Questions to consider when implementing scenario planning.
(3) The common types of scenario planning.Your paper should meet these requirements:

• Be approximately four to six pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.
• Follow APA 7 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.
• Support your answers with the readings from the course and at least two scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook. The UC Library is a great place to find resources.
• Be clearly and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing.

Final Project: Scan a GitHub Repository using Snyk

Congratulations! You have completed all the modules of this course. Now it is time to test your skills using GitHub and Snyk. In this final module, you will complete a project and submit your work for your peers to evaluate. 

Scenario

You are an aspiring video game developer looking to create cross-platform games using a free, user-friendly game engine. And like many developers, you manage your projects using GitHub repositories. While using the GitHub Explore feature to find public repositories matching your interests, you discover the Godot Engine repository at https://github.com/godotengine/godot. Godot is a popular multi-platform 2D and 3D game engine that fits your needs. You want to fork the repository for personal use, but you also want to scan it for potential vulnerabilities before using its code. Releasing games with significant security issues won’t help your career in the video game industry.

Overview of assignment instructions

This project involves two tasks.

Task 1: Fork a public repository

• Fork the godot      repository to your personal GitHub account.

Task 2: Examine a repository’s code vulnerabilities

1. Import and scan      the code of your godot fork.
2. Examine the      Snyk security report for your godot fork.

Submission guidelines

There is a total of 6 points for this final project. In the peer review section of this project, you will upload screenshots of your work in JPEG or PNG format to show completion of the following tasks:

Task 1

1. Provide a      screenshot showing that you have forked the godot repository to your      GitHub account. (2 pts)

Task 2

1. Provide a      screenshot from your Snyk Projects page showing that you have imported and      scanned your godot fork. (2 pts)
2. Provide a      screenshot showing the Snyk Overview page that displays the results from      scanning your godot fork. (2 pts)

Purpose: To implement a “prototype” database system application for a eCommerce social-network system called UCOnline where users can explore information about books/music/software, rate your purchase, identify purchase price and see ratings of their friends.

Requirements: (a) Working ERD Diagram.

(b) Explanation of the relationships used in the ERD Diagram (text-based summary).

(c) URL of a WORKING database that maps your database solution. It should be a working prototype. I strongly encourage you testing this and using this as an opportunity. There are many free offers for AWS, Azure, GCP available – especially for students.

Instructions: You will work with book/music/media information, user information, ratings of books, and users’ social network.

Each book has an id, title, publication date, publisher, ISBN, functional category, page count, price (publisher), and product description.

There are 3 categories of book: fiction, non-fiction, and specialty.

There are 2 categories of music: digital and media-based

An author can write one or more books.

A musician can be a solo artist, part of a group, or both

An author can also be associated with one or more publishers.

A musician/group/act can be associated with one or more music houses

An author’s book can have one or more editions.

A song and or album can have more than one version/edition (i.e. EP, LP, CD, DVD etc)

A publisher can have many authors and many books.

A record company can have many artists associated and many albums associated with it. 

A record company can also be the publishing company (i.e. self-publishing)

Many ISBNs can also be associated with a given publisher but only one ISBN per form of medium (ie the ISBN is the PK no matter what).

An author can write many books.

An artist can write many songs, albums etc.

UCOnline needs to keep track of user ratings for each item sold in the online store (e.g., 1-5 and 1 for ‘Dislike’, to 5, for ‘Awesome!’). A particular user rates a particular item at a given time.

A user CANNOT rate the same multiple times unless there are multiple editions of the item. Each edition can be rated separately. Each user who submits a rating will be identified by a unique id and has a name, gender, age, and location. Nothing is anonymous.

There is also a social network between users. Users can send communication requests (i.e. instant messages/emails) to other users. Such requests can be accepted or ignored. Once accepted, the two users are considered ‘book buddies.’ If ignored, the user can send the request again. We want to add a store when the requests were sent (timestamp), the result of the requests and when the request was answered (timestamp).

Organizations must protect data in a variety of ways. In Chapter 11, you read about different methodologies on securing data in the enterprise. In Chapter 12, you also read about the different hardware topologies that data and database management systems reside on. Answer each of the following questions:

• Why is security paramount to personal and enterprise computing, especially database computing?
• Of all the types of security discussed, which form do you feel has the MOST potential to protect data regardless of the environment (physical environment, logical environment)? Will any of these methods benefit blockchain computing?

You must answer BOTH questions to earn FULL points for this discussion.

 Spelling, citation, and grammar count towards your grade. Feedback to peer responses is also an integral part of your weekly participation)

Convince your local public library to offer self-serve kiosks so patrons can check their materials in and out. 

1. Write a proposal of not more than 650 words that evaluates the operational, technical, and economic feasibility of these kiosks. 
2. Draw use-case diagrams that illustrate how a patron would interact with the kiosk. These diagrams should illustrate all of the interactions in enough detail to derive functional requirements for the kiosk. 

• Assume that all materials and library cards carry a unique bar code. 
• The patron should have the option to receive a receipt for items checked in or out. 

1. Write sample instructions on how to use the kiosk. The library intends to post these instructions on a sign next to the kiosk, so they must be short (not more than 350 words), clear, complete, and well organized. 

Your document must follow these formatting requirements: 

• Follow the Strayer Writing Standards (SWS). The format is different than other Strayer University courses. Please take a moment to review the SWS documentation for details. 
• Properly cite all sources. 
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. 
• All charts and diagrams must be the student’s original work. They must be pasted into the document as neat, legible images. 
• The cover page and the reference page do not count toward the assignment’s length. 

The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is as follows: 

• Outline a plan for the operational, technical, and economic feasibility of an information technology-based solution.

Grading for this assignment will be based on answer quality, logic/organization of the paper, and language and writing skills, using the following rubric.
