A vulnerability scanner can assess a variety of vulnerabilities across information systems. These vulnerabilities may have originated from a vendor, system administration activities, or general day-to-day user activities. For your main post, identify a vulnerability scanner and describe the functions and capabilities it provides. Given the number of scanners on the market, explain how your choice differentiates from other options available. You may want to consider cost, capability, and collaborative functions in your post. Finally, explain how your choice can be accessed for consumer use.
 

One of the security findings in the gap analysis given in the Case Document was high turnover and low morale among employees. Upon further investigation, you discover that the company does not provide specialized training to bridge special skill gaps, and there is no wellness system in place to help employees keep in physical shape. After completing the assigned readings (The Impact of Rewards Programs on Employee Engagement PDF and How Employee Wellness Programs Can Generate Savings for Your Company), address the following in your initial post:
List five ideas for a worksite wellness program to help employees improve their stress anxiety, fatigue, and boredom.
To what extent do you think a wellness program influences employees’ productivity?
To what extent do you think rewards affect employee performance?
What strategies do you propose to address lack of knowledge, skills, and abilities?

In Module Six, you will submit a continuous monitoring plan laying out the foundation for continuously monitoring the organization against malicious activities and intentional and unintentional threats. This milestone also focuses on work setting techniques and work planning policies to help employees improve their stress anxiety, fatigue, and boredom. As part of the planned solution, you will propose to mitigate the security gaps for the corporation given in the Case Document. You will need to explain what security tools (firewall, intrusion prevention system/intrusion detection system, antivirus, content filtering, encryption, etc.) and employee readiness strategies (training programs, rewards systems, physical wellness programs, etc.) will be used.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
Work Settings: What strategies do you propose to address distractions, insufficient resources, poor management systems, or inadequate security practices?
Work Planning and Control: What strategies do you propose to address job pressure, time factors, task difficulty, change in routine, poor task planning or management practice, or lack of knowledge, skills, and ability?
Employee Readiness: What strategies do you propose to address inattention, stress and anxiety, fatigue and boredom, illness and injury, drug side effects, values and attitudes, or cognitive factors (e.g., misperception, memory, or judgment)?
What to Submit
Your paper must be submitted as a four- to five-page Microsoft Word document, with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins, in APA format.
See attached case..

 
Overview
The next part of your training manual will focus on vulnerability assessment. A vulnerability assessment is the testing process used to identify and assign severity levels to as many security defects as possible in a given timeframe. Continue the development of your training manual with an overview of the assigned topic and a summary of functions and capabilities. Demonstrate your implementation with corresponding screenshots from your labs (when applicable).
Prompt
Now it is time to create your training manual section on assessing the vulnerability of a network. This process may involve automated and manual techniques with varying degrees using a risk-based approach. Continue using the Training Manual Template document to develop the section on vulnerability assessment.
For each section of the training manual, develop guidelines for employees to select and employ specific software, tools, and methods to address the elements of the section topic. Your guidelines serve as recommendations of specific tools and criteria for determining when to use these tools.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
Illustrate the proper implementation of port scanning, device scanning, and penetration testing and detection for conducting vulnerability assessments.
Explain how to interpret the output of a vulnerability scan to identify weaknesses.
What to Submit
Fill in Section Four of the Training Manual Template document. This section contains two main parts with additional subtopics related to detecting intrusions. This section should address best practices and tools and methodologies for assessing network vulnerability. For this assignment, you must follow these formatting guidelines: 12-point Times New Roman font and APA references and citations.

Last week in the discussion, you provided a project summary that included scope and goals. Use a personal project to estimate a budget and schedule. Using the information covered in the required readings, describe the key components of your budget, as well as how long it will take to complete your Home Office Renovation project.

The discussions in the past few weeks have asked you to provide a project summary that includes a scope, goals, and budget for a project. For this discussion, you will use a personal project to conduct a risk analysis using the information from readings, brainstorming, and other problem-solving techniques. You will then develop a risk assessment that describes all of the possible risks you identified in your analysis that could affect the Home Office Renovation project.

 Overview
This is the first of three assignments that, as a whole, will cover all aspects of the project life cycle relevant to your selected project. You will select your project to use throughout the remaining assessments allowing you to build on your project plan from beginning to end.
Scenario
You have been selected to be the Project Manager for a project of your choice which is Home Office Renovation. The project you decide to use must be one of a professional nature and must last for at least twelve months. In addition, the project should meet the key criteria of a project, such as:
Has a beginning and an end. (For example, the project begins on January 15 and ends at midnight on January 30).
Results in something being delivered to someone (ensuring your end-user agrees with expectations and you deliver those expectations).
Requires a series of activities that must be done to complete the project (develop WBS with timelines and deliverables).
Requires resources (e.g., people, materials, training, or tutorials) to complete the work.
Note: You are prohibited from using projects that can be found on the Internet, including projects found in places like CourseHero. All project submissions are submitted to SafeAssign for review.
Instructions
Write a 2-3 page paper in which you define the scope of your chosen project. In your paper you must:
Provide a brief summary of your chosen project that includes a beginning and an end, results in something being delivered to someone requires a series of activities that must be done to complete the project and requires resources.
Describe at least three project goals or objectives. All goals or objectives should provide information on how you will confirm whether the goals or objectives can be met.
Describe the key customers and at least two stakeholders for your project. Remember, you are delivering the project to your customers; however, there are others (stakeholders) who have a vested interest in your project.
Describe at least three key milestones and three deliverables for your project and describe what makes them key.
Create a depiction of a high-level timeline that includes key tasks and deadlines.
Provide timelines for each milestone and identify potential roadblocks and mitigation efforts. Include rationale for the chosen timeline and potential roadblocks to meeting deadlines.
List each of the project’s key staffing and non-staffing resources needed and their estimated costs along with an estimate for the overall cost of the project. All estimates should reflect current market pricing.
Use at least three sources to support your writing. Choose sources that are credible, relevant, and appropriate. Cite each source listed on your source page at least one time within your assignment. For help with research, writing, and citation, access the library or review library guides.
