On your first day on the job as an IT intern, you attend a meeting with several department heads regarding proposed budget reductions. One of the department heads suggests that money for information security be cut by at least 40 percent because the company has not been infected with a virus in the last three months, proving that the current defenses are adequate. What would you say in response?

 
Scenario: Identify a business that is of interest to you. It can be real or fictitious, but it should be a realistic business. Think of one specific risk that your chosen business could face, and consider how and where you will get data that can be analyzed to address that risk. 
Complete the following steps: 
1. Create a Word document to contain all components of your Unit 6 Assignment. Add a title page and table of contents. 
2. Write an introduction to your chosen topic. Describe the business that you have chosen, identify the risk you selected, and briefly describe how you expect analytics to help you address that risk. Label this section Introduction. 
3. Perform a SWOT analysis for your business. Ensure that you have at least one element with a description in each of the four quadrants of a SWOT table. Label this section SWOT Analysis. 
4. Identify which quadrant of a risk matrix your selected risk would fall into (High Probability/High Impact; High Probability/Low Impact; Low Probability/High Impact; or Low Probability/Low Impact. Provide a rationale explaining why you have classified your chosen risk in the way you did. Label this section Risk Classification. 
5. Obtain or create a data set that you can use to address your risk. You can use built in data sets in R, data sets from the Internet, or data sets from a company with appropriate permission. It is acceptable to create your own data set if you wish. Keep in mind that you will need to use one of the risk analytics techniques you have learned in this class, so the data you use and the outcome your produce must be aligned with a valid technique “Expected Payoff” Please see attached template. Make a screen capture of a representative sample of your data. Place it in your document and label this section Data. 
 6. Create a model for your data that will allow you to address your selected risk. This will be in Excel for the Expected Payoff as your technique.   In your Word document, provide evidence by way of labeled screen captures and written descriptions of your model building. Label this section Modeling. 
7.  For Expected Payoff, document your findings for your audience. In your Word document, provide evidence by way of labeled screen captures and written descriptions of your model application/outcomes. Label this section Outcomes.  
8. Write a conclusion that summarizes what you did to assess and analyze risk using data. Discuss legal and/or ethical considerations that your chosen business must consider and address in using your risk analytics approach. Label this section Conclusion. 
9. Include a References page that cites all sources used to complete your Unit 6 Assignment. The list of references must include no fewer than five authoritative and relevant sources beyond the class textbook and sources of data. Ensure that all of your cited sources are referred to parenthetically throughout the body of your paper where relevant, and then in APA format on the References page.

There are many examples of the use of risk analytics in the world today. Your task for this week’s discussion board is to identify a real, recent example of risk analytics, thoroughly examine it, and then analyze it for the class. Your example and response must comply with the following requirements:
Your chosen topic must involve an organization using risk analytics within the past 12 months.
You must summarize how and why the organization used risk analytics, citing the source of your information.
You must identify and describe for the class how the organization’s use of risk analytics impacted them. Identify outcomes, positive or negative, that were realized by the organization through their analytics activities.
You must examine ethical components of their use of risk analytics. Be thorough in your examination. For example, it is ethical for a credit card company to control who can hold their cards, and how much those card holders can charge; but it is also ethical for that credit card company to grow its revenues and profits. If your chosen topic were a credit card company using risk analytics to get more of their cards into the hands of more and more consumers, what would the ethical considerations and ramifications be for that card company?
Your original post must be no less than 300 words.

Your analysis should take on a 3-paragraph format; define, explain in detail, then present an actual example via research. Your paper must provide in-depth analysis of all the topics presented:
> Find at least 3 related articles on stream analytics. Read and summarize your findings.
> Location-tracking–based clustering provides the potential for personalized services but challenges for privacy. Argue for and against such applications.
> Identify ethical issues related to managerial decision making. Search the Internet and read articles from the Internet. Prepare a report on your findings.
> Search and find examples of how analytics systems can facilitate activities such as empowerment, mass customization, and teamwork.
Need 10-12 pages in APA format with peer-reviewed citations. Must include introduction and conclusion.

As a cybersecurity professional, you will be responsible for complying with the regulatory requirements of each jurisdiction that your organization has ties with. Legal standards often vary widely, posing challenges for organizations that operate in multiple jurisdictions. In this discussion, you will examine an example of local regulations in one state in the United States.
The Breach Notification Law Interactive Map from the law firm BakerHostetler provides the regulatory compliance and due-care requirements for each state in terms of data protection and regulatory response, including the definition of personal information, requirements for risk-of-harm analysis, and requirements to notify the state government in case of a breach. This discussion should help you recognize some of the similarities and differences between security requirements in different jurisdictions.
To complete this discussion:
Select a state to review. Ideally, you will select a state that has not yet been discussed in any earlier posts to the discussion.
Summarize the standards in the various categories that apply to your selected state.
