Multiple Assignments ( IT Security/ Law)

Assignment: Cybercrime-Related Laws and Digital Evidence

Imagine you are watching a movie that has a dramatic court scene where the prosecutor picks up a menacing weapon used in the commission of the crime. As he or she thrusts it up high for all to see, a collective gasp echoes through the courtroom. The jurys eyes widen as their minds struggle to process the weapon visually. 
Now consider the same movie scene again. Except this time, the prosecutor picks up a laptop and thrusts it into the air. The same dramatic reaction, however, is unlikely. Although digital evidence that is stored in devices might seem intangible, this type of evidence has been used in previous legal cases for trying cybercrime. 
Cybercrime is just as real and subject to the same burdens of proof and judicial process. Yet, the admissibility of digital evidence for establishing proof of a cybercrime can be challenging. Understanding the linkage between digital evidence and the execution of a cybercrime is important for establishing a legal case.

To prepare for this Assignment, pick one of the following areas of cybercrime and select a federal or state law that addresses it:

    Computer Intrusions
    Cyberterrorism
    Cyberharassment and Cyberstalking
    Economic Espionage
    Financial Crimes and Fraud

For this Assignment, write a 3- to 5-page paper in APA format that:

    Summarizes the key elements of the law.
    Explains the types of digital evidence that would need to be collected to prosecute a case under this law. Be sure that you include possible sources of evidence, such as computing devices, wireless devices, and Internet service providers (ISPs).
    Proposes a new or emerging technology within the area of cybercrime selected that might not be covered under this law.

Assignment 1: Computer Incident Response Team Plan

You probably have heard the names Ebola, Bird Flu, and West Nile Virus. In recent years, these names have made headlines as clusters of outbreaks have occurred around the globe. Given the serious nature of infectious diseases and the possibility of regional or global outbreaks, organizations like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have incident response teams that can quickly deploy anywhere in the world to investigate potential outbreaks and contain them if need be.
IT incidents are similar to infectious disease outbreaks in that if safeguards are not in place to prevent them, critical systems and information may be compromised. To mitigate these incidents, many IT departments have specialized teams, called computer incident response teams (CIRTs). These teams mobilize and respond to incidents. As with emergent infectious disease response teams, the sooner CIRT teams respond, the sooner incidents can be contained.

The Plush Packet Institute of Technology (PPIT) Board of Directors next priority is the schools ability to respond to security incidents, especially with a second school opening in the near future. The board has asked you to begin drafting a CIRT plan.

For this Assignment, write a 2- to 3-page CIRT plan for PPIT that:

    Classifies the types of computer incidents that would activate the CIRT
    Defines at least three roles for CIRT members
    Defines at least two primary responsibilities for CIRT members
    Defines two CIRT policies

Assignment 2: Risk Management
Driving your car anywhere is risky. Imagine that your cars tire treads are worn to the point that they might blow out at any moment. Unfortunately, you cannot afford new tires until the end of the month, but you still need to go to work every day. What should you do? To make a decision, you would need to assess the risks of driving your car carefully.
Like people, organizations must manage risk carefully. To do so, risks must be identified and evaluated continuously. Documents like risk assessment reports are integral to maintaining the appropriate level of risk tolerance.

Assignment: Certified Forensic Tools

Have you ever read a fictional story about a treasure hunt for pirates gold? Adventurers often follow a crude map that marks the exact spot of the treasure with a large X. To find the treasure, the adventurers must overcome many challenges and use a wide variety of resources. In the end, they unearth a treasure chest and delight in its riches.
Computer forensics investigations are like treasure hunts conducted in reverse. The location of the treasure is specified in a search warrant and X marks a property on a city map. As a forensics investigator, you are given the treasure firsta bounty of computers, devices, and information. Your job is to analyze this treasure and work backwards to the suspects. To accomplish this, you will use certified forensics tools to preserve digital evidence. Like a serpentine dashed trail on the treasure map, your path will have many twists and turns and might take you through memory addresses, inside devices, and across networks. Without certified forensics tools, authorities would find it difficult, if not impossible to collect and preserve digital evidence. Prosecutors would have an even greater challenge bringing many cases to trial.
                                                                                ***
You are a forensics expert working at a federal lab. You have been given the following physical evidence for a suspect being held on numerous charges that include plotting to destroy federal facilities, aiding and abetting terrorists, and counterfeiting:
    Phones (3 smart phones, 1 old analog phone, and 1 used pre-paid cell phone)
    Media (44 data DVDs, 13 data CDs, 2 SD cards, and two 3.5 floppy disks)
    Cameras (1 digital camera with a cracked lens and 1 DSLR camera body)
    Hard Drives (5 external and 8 internal hard drives)
    Routers (1 router)
    Tablets (2 tablets)
    PDAs (1 PDA [personal digital assistant])
    Laptops (2 PC laptops and 1 Mac notebook)
    Desktops (1 PC desktop with monitor, mouse, and external 3.5 floppy drive)
    Thumb Drives (1 thumb drive)

One of the laptops is on and connected to a foreign network through a wireless access pointa directory structure is visible; the operating system is Windows XP. The suspect is also known to have an account with an Internet Service Provider (ISP).

For this Assignment, write a 4- to 5-page report in APA format that evaluates several forensic software tools.

Explain which ones you might use to conduct your investigation of the physical evidence. Be sure to address tools that you might use to collect evidence from the foreign network. Justify your choices.

Assignment 1: Jurisdictional Aspects of Cybercrime

You are using your wireless device to locate a restaurant. Suddenly, a large flashing skull-and-crossbones appears on your screen and a menacing laugh plays. Seconds later your device has been wiped clean. You are the victim of a cybercrime. If caught, can the cybercriminal that destroyed your devices data be brought to justice, regardless of jurisdiction?
To prepare for this Assignment, examine a law that addresses cybercriminal (e.g., hackers, spammers, or cyber terrorists) offenses.

For this Assignment, write a 2- to 3-page paper in APA format that:

    Explains the laws key elements, especially those related to jurisdiction and sentencing.
    Analyzes the jurisdictional aspects of cybercrime related to bringing cybercriminals to justice. Provide an example in which this law might apply.

Assignment 2: Copyright and its Various Owner Rights

The Internet has facilitated exposure for a multitude of industries, artists, and products. However, inherent challenges exist when attempting to protect ownership. If users have access to someone elses media and documents, should they be able to copy, modify, or distribute them? This is a crucial question that individuals and legislators are attempting to answer in this digital age.
                                                                        ***
You have just passed the state bar exam and are now officially an attorney. As a reward, the junior partner has assigned you a case. Your client is a popular band named Pixel the Pony. The bands manager, Hub The Hippo, and record producer, Mac The Meerkat are in your office. Hub explains that the bands new single Pony Express is being distributed illegally by music lovers on the Internet in mp3 format. He discusses at length the substantial time and costs the band incurred creating this original work.
Once he finishes, Mac shows you spreadsheets detailing costs, expenses, and projected profits. She feels that the illegal distribution (via peer-to-peer networks [P2P]) will result in the record label losing significant income. Hub and Mac want the distributions to stop immediately and those responsible held accountable. So far, the record labels investigators have determined that illegal distribution has occurred in the United States and abroad.

For this Assignment, write a 4- to 5-page paper in APA format that:

    Specifies which U.S. intellectual property, digital rights management, and/or property laws apply to this case
    Enables your case as a consideration in the purview of “fair use” under the law
    Proposes remedies the law provides for the enlisted violations
    Addresses how your clients expected revenues will be adversely impacted
    Discusses legal remedies that you will be seeking on behalf of your client
    Briefly addresses possible international jurisdictional problems

Simple Regression

Research Question: Does the number of hours worked per week (workweek) predict family income (income)?

Using Polit2SetA data set, run a simple regression using Family Income (income) as the outcome variable (Y) and Number of Hours Worked per Week (workweek) as the independent variable (X). When conducting any regression analysis, the dependent (outcome) variables is always (Y) and is placed on the y-axis, and the independent (predictor) variable is always (X) and is placed on the x-axis.

Follow these steps when using SPSS:

Open Polit2SetA data set.
Click on Analyze, then click on Regression, then Linear.
Move the dependent variable (income) in the box labeled “Dependent” by clicking the arrow button. The dependent variable is a continuous variable.
Move the independent variable (workweek) into the box labeled “Independent.”
Click on the Statistics button (right side of box) and click on Descriptives, Estimates, Confidence Interval (should be 95%), and Model Fit, then click on Continue.
Click on OK.

Assignment: Through analysis of the SPSS output, answer the following questions.

What is the total sample size?
What is the mean income and mean number of hours worked?
What is the correlation coefficient between the outcome and predictor variables? Is it significant? How would you describe the strength and direction of the relationship?
What it the value of R squared (coefficient of determination)? Interpret the value.
Interpret the standard error of the estimate? What information does this value provide to the researcher?
The model fit is determined by the ANOVA table results (F statistic = 37.226, 1,376 degrees of freedom, and the p value is .001). Based on these results, does the model fit the data? Briefly explain. (Hint: A significant finding indicates good model fit.)
Based on the coefficients, what is the value of the y-intercept (point at which the line of best fit crosses the y-axis)?
Based on the output, write out the regression equation for predicting family income.
Using the regression equation, what is the predicted monthly family income for women working 35 hours per week?
Using the regression equation, what is the predicted monthly family income for women working 20 hours per week?

Multiple Regression

Assignment: In this assignment we are trying to predict CES-D score (depression) in women. The research question is: How well do age, educational attainment, employment, abuse, and poor health predict depression?

Using Polit2SetC data set, run a multiple regression using CES-D Score (cesd) as the outcome variable (Y) and respondent’s age (age), educational attainment (educatn), currently employed (worknow), number, types of abuse (nabuse), and poor health (poorhlth) as the independent variables (X). When conducting any regression analysis, the dependent (outcome) variables is always (Y) and is placed on the y-axis, and the independent (predictor) variable is always (X) and is placed on the x-axis.

Follow these steps when using SPSS:

Open Polit2SetC data set.
Click on Analyze, then click on Regression, then Linear.
Move the dependent variable, CES-D Score (cesd) into the box labeled “Dependent” by clicking on the arrow button. The dependent variable is a continuous variable.
Move the independent variables (age, educatn, worknow, and poorhlth) into the box labeled “Independent.” This is the first block of variables to be entered into the analysis (block 1 of 1). Click on the bottom (top right of independent box), marked “Next”; this will give you another box to enter the next block of indepdent variables (block 2 of 2). Here you are to enter (nabuse). Note: Be sure the Method box states “Enter”.
Click on the Statistics button (right side of box) and click on Descriptives, Estimates, Confidence Interval (should be 95%), R square change, and Model Fit, and then click on Continue.
Click on OK.

Assignment: (When answering all questions, use the data on the coefficients panel from Model 2).

Analyze the data from the SPSS output and write a paragraph summarizing the findings. (Use the example in the SPSS output file as a guide for your write-up.)
Which of the predictors were significant predictors in the model?
Which of the predictors was the most relevant predictor in the model?
Interpret the unstandardized coefficents for educational attainment and poor health.
If you wanted to predict a woman’s current CES-D score based on the analysis, what would the unstandardized regression equation be? Include unstandardized coefficients in the equation.

Recovery-oriented Care
Abstract
Describe the practice problem and why it is important to address within the context of nursing practice. Recovery-oriented care in psychiatry improves quality of care of the patient and increases the efficiency of health care providers. Despite eminent benefits, recovery-oriented care either lacks or is inadequately implemented in many psychiatric health settings. Therefore, training of psychiatric staff on evidence-based practices on recovery-oriented psychiatric care is the solution. By using sound mythologies of psychoeducation groups and group dynamic training, a 26 beds and 36 staff members psychiatric care unit can be used to implement a recovery-oriented care-training project. The purpose of the project is to develop and implement a process of educating the psychiatric staff on how to provide recovery-oriented care through psycho-educational groups and group dynamics on the psychiatric unit. The objectives are to: 1) assess the training needs, 2) evaluate the barriers for effective recovery-oriented psychiatric nursing, 3) develop strategies to address these barriers, 4) train nursing staff in psychoeducation approaches and group dynamics, and 5) evaluate the effectiveness of the training,. Each of the objectives had a corresponding question, which seeks to meet it. Patient recovery-oriented training at the unit can change the quality of psychiatric care. Thereby, it affects social change and improves consumer satisfaction and efficiency of the care delivery system. This quality improvement project will be guided by the Iowa Model of Evidence-Based Practice to Promote Quality Care and the following frameworks: Partnership Care Delivery Model, Newman?s Health as Expanding Consciousness Theory, and Leininger?s Culture of Care Theory.

explain multiple sides of the issue.

The topic of your project needs to be a contemporary societal problem, such as healthcare reform, immigration reform, privacy rights, euthanasia, First Amendment Rights, stem cell research, capital punishment, corporate prisons, legalizing drugs, ageism, animal rights, cloning, prayer in schools, racial profiling, recycling/conservation, sexism, outsourcing jobs, workplace bullying, etc. The topic must focus on a single aspect, as in “How far do corporations intrude into the private lives of their employers?” or “The social costs of financing the distribution of custom-designed drugs.” You may suggest another topic to use, but the instructor must approve the topic during the Week Two Discussion.

The Final Research Project will present research relating the responsibilities of a critical thinker to contemporary society. In this assignment, you will do the following:

Research one aspect of a contemporary social problem. Define the problem. Propose a possible solution for the problem. Create an argument that supports your thesis position. You should take on the perspective of a critically thinking researcher. The argument must present a thesis statement and evidence to support the thesis statement. Evaluate the ethical outcomes that result from the position you take on the issue and explain how those outcomes would influence society and culture. Interpret statistical data from at least two peer-reviewed scholarly sources. Evaluate evidence using the following standards: validity, reliability, and bias related to the chosen topic and accurately identify strengths and weaknesses. Research and Define the Problem You must take on the perspective of your major field of study and explain in your paper what that perspective is and how it informs your view of the topic. The topics listed above are far too broad to write about in 10–12 pages (3,300–3,900 words). Instead, you must choose a narrowly defined thesis and approach it from the perspective of your field.

Example: If you are an economics major, and you are interested in immigration reform, you should approach a very specific aspect of immigration reform through the lens of economic theory and practice. A specific thesis question would not be, “How does illegal immigration influence the U.S. economy?” One could write thousands of pages on such a topic. Instead, a better question would be, “How do illegal immigrant hotel workers in Chicago impact the economy of Northern Illinois?” You would then want to do the research and determine the positive and negative impacts they have, ultimately trying to conclude how illegal immigration in this area should be approached ethically.

How to Hone Your Thesis: It is important that you start your research early in this course. Try to find the most important contemporary questions and theories in your field of study and then align the most important questions with a very specific aspect of the general topics above. For example, if you are a psychology major, you might want to start thinking within the realm of healthcare reform or aspects of mental health and criminality in the prison system.

Your Argument You must present a complete argument, including a major claim with at least five points of evidence, information, or data that will prove the claim.

The thesis statement must be A clear, simple declarative sentence as the first or last sentence in the opening paragraph of the essay. Of such a nature that it can be substantiated, corroborated, verified, and proved through appeal to primary or secondary academic research source materials. The introductory paragraph must Present the thesis statement, an explanation for the importance of the topic, and its relation to the student’s field of study. Beliefs, opinions, and personal opinions must not be introduced at any point in the essay. All beliefs and opinions should be supported with academic evidence. Sweeping generalizations with no supporting academic evidence do not reflect adequate critical thinking skills. Do not include rhetorical questions in your essays. All the questions that are pertinent to your project need to be answered in your essay and your answers again need to be supported with evidence from peer-reviewed journal articles and academically published books. Attributes of Good Critical Thinking in Papers

Your paper should include academic sources that explain multiple sides of the issue. The evidence that you use should come from high-level researchers engaged in your field of study. Your interpretations of the evidence should be objective and state the conclusions and theses presented in the evidence clearly and fairly. Your paper should place the various forms of evidence in relation to one another and demonstrate why one form or perspective is stronger than the other positions that one could take on the issue. Your paper should point out the limitations of current evidence and attempt to indicate areas for future research. Ethical Outcomes of the Position You Take After you have defined the problem and created an argument about how one ought to respond to the issue, you need to explain the ethical outcomes of the position you have taken. This should again be in relation to the field of study in which you are working. There might be different ethical outcomes that result from your analysis. For example, going back to the example issue above, from an economic standpoint, illegal immigrants might contribute positively to the economy of Northern Illinois in a specific number of ways. Thus, an economist who believes that positive impact to the economy is the greatest good would say that one should promote the use of illegal immigrants. However, because these workers are often paid less than others and eliminate jobs that could be done by residents of Chicago, there could be other negative ethical outcomes that would outweigh the positive impacts to the economy. It is your goal to draw out the ethical implications of your thesis and explain the underlying rationale that is the foundation for your claim that one action is better than another.

Critical thinkers are those who can outline the positive and negative ethical impacts of their positions. In addition, they are able to provide a rationale for why they believe a specific position is the right position, even when it leads to negative outcomes. Critical thinkers are also able to be honest and objective about the limitations and gray areas that pertain to their theses. Final Research Project Requirements The Final Research Project may be presented as a formal research paper (essay format), a PowerPoint presentation, a video, or a podcast equivalent to a minimum of 10 – 12 pages in APA format (approximately 3,300 – 3,900 typewritten words, excluding title page and reference pages).

Description

Instructions Purpose As you are learning this semester, the role of the nurse is to integrate and apply knowledge from your general education background, health-related sciences, and evidence-based nursing science in the application of the nursing process to the nursing care of patients in the acute care setting. The nurse uses knowledge from pharmacology, anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology, microbiology, nutrition, psychology, and other sciences to build a plan of care according to the health assessment findings generated by the nurse. Nursing is practiced within an interdisciplinary health care system, and it is important for the nurse to understand the perspectives of other disciplines in their contribution to the patient plan of care.

For this assignment, you will use the case study provided or choose a client from your clinical rotation. You will complete an in-depth analysis of the nature of their health alterations, the pathophysiological and psychosocial aspects of their health needs and how the interdisciplinary team contributes to the treatment plan while the patient is in the hospital and has plans for discharge are put into action. Directions Read the information about the case study with the chart materials provided or gather the necessary information from one of your patients. Review the patient assessment information. What other assessments might you do in addition to those provided? What findings would you anticipate with this patient? Develop a care plan (use the template provided) based on the highest priority problem (1 nursing diagnosis, 2 goals, 3 interventions for each goal, 2 rationales for each intervention and evaluation for each goal). Complete an in-depth analysis reflecting your ability to prepare a case study based on principles derived from pharmacology, pathophysiology, psychology, nutrition, and evidence-based nursing practice guidelines. Remember to include an introduction to the patient, pathophysiology, history, nursing assessment (given and any additional), and related treatments. Include selected references for your case study paper/care plan and use APA format. Specific grading rubric is attached

How will you accommodate multiple cultures when communicating these issues to employees?

How will you accommodate multiple cultures when communicating these issues to employees?.

BANKS Industries has experienced rapid expansion in the past several years. However, it appears that the HR department is just now catching up by revising policies and rapidly implementing changes. One of the new policies outlines the requirements of a new dress code, which is stricter and more formal than the previous requirements.

Using the module readings, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, research the concepts of communication and change management. Then, based on the above scenario, respond to the following:

  • As a manager, what is your role when it comes to communicating policy changes to employees, especially when the policy is not one with which you necessarily agree (for example, policies regarding personal cell-phone use in the workplace)? As a manager, how would you communicate such policies?
  • How will you accommodate multiple cultures when communicating these issues to employees? As you prepare to address this question, take into consideration the following communication concepts: To be a successful cross-cultural communicator you must remember the following:
    • There are no universal gestures.
    • You should be sensitive to verbal and nonverbal communications or behaviors.
    • It is important to be open-minded to cultural views of others and their ways of communicating. For example, a frown could mean concentration in some cultures, whereas in other cultures, it is interpreted as anger or disappointment.

By Wednesday, January 13, 2016, post your response to the appropriate according to the APA Style

Write your initial response in 300–500 words. Your response should be thorough and address all components of the discussion question in detail, include citations of all sources, where needed, , and demonstrate accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation

Do the following when responding to your peers:

  • Read your peers’ answers.
  • Provide substantive comments by
    • contributing new, relevant information from course readings, Web sites, or other sources;
    • building on the remarks or questions of others; or
    • sharing practical examples of key concepts from your professional or personal experiences
  • Respond to feedback on your posting and provide feedback to other students on their ideas.
  • Make sure your writing
    • is clear, concise, and organized;
    • demonstrates ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources; and
    • displays accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
