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:

Older Adults and Advanced Care Planning
For this week’s discussion, share your thoughts about advanced care planning or communicating with older adults.
Please refer to concepts covered in this week’s resources or activities.
Attaching an article, video, podcast, meme, et cetera, as part of your post is always a good idea, but remember that you will need to write sufficient text in the post to meet the required point total for the post. Points will not be earned for merely attaching the resource and submitting a post without any descriptive text.
Note: Do not create your post as a reply to the pinned post. Instead, use Yellowdig’s Create option to create a new post.
Select one of the following prompts to begin your discussion post this week:
Advanced care planning is not just about old age. After reading the material for this week, what are your thoughts about developing your own advanced care plan?
Share a link or an attachment to an advanced directive template. Discuss at least one strength and one limitation of the advance directive you shared.
It may take more time to build a rapport with an older client as compared to a younger client. Discuss three steps you would take to build a rapport with an older adult. Discuss one thing you shouldn’t do when building a rapport with an older adult and why.
Delivering bad news is never easy. What are three things you learned about delivering bad news?

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.
 Ezikiel
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.
