Category: Computer Science homework help

This week there are three requirements. 
1. Mr. Scott would like for you to apply what you have learned about perimeters on the physical building to a single computer.  
2. Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA)
3. Using the NICE challenge framework, complete a new challenge. 
Week 4 discussion topic
1. Read/Review Security in the Digital World Chapter 1-11Links to an external site.  (This is more a starting point for those that might not have a lot of IT/Computer experience, This is certainly not an assignment to read all 11 chapters.  Not all of this material will apply.)
2. Review Defense in Depth concepts Download Defense in Depth concepts 
3. Review the NICE challenges student guide found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/108gn4WCV5IhNHueZfhcTKfUPdXbm3cYUtkQKH7NPCQw/edit?usp=sharingLinks to an external site.
4. Optional networking basics refresher: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/basics-computer-networking/Links to an external site.
Assignment Part 1:
How would we define the perimeters (outer, inner, and interior)  of a computer as we did with the Techworx building?   
Define and justify the perimeters of a computer you have chosen.
What technology, software, or hardware exists that could protect each perimeter?  No more than two examples per perimeter.  In other words, I do not want a list of 10 examples.  Explain your choices.
Assignment Part 2:  Mr. Scott attended a meeting about a new concept called Zero Trust.  Please provide a short summary of this

Project: Business Impact Analysis (BIA) and Business Continuity Plan (BCP)
Senior management at Health Network has decided they want a business impact analysis (BIA) that examines the company’s data center and a business continuity plan (BCP). Because of the importance of risk management to the organization, management has allocated all funds for both efforts. Your team has their full support, as well as permission to contact any of them directly for participation or inclusion in the BIA or BCP. Winter storms on the East Coast have affected the ability of Health Network employees to reach the Arlington offices in a safe and timely manner. However, no BCP plan currently exists to address corporate operations. The Arlington office is the primary location for business units, such as Finance, Legal, and Customer Support. Some of the corporate systems, such as the payroll and accounting applications, are located only in the corporate offices. Each corporate location is able to access the other two, and a remote virtual private network (VPN) exists between each production data center and the corporate locations. The corporate systems are not currently being backed up and should be addressed in the new plan. The BCP should also include some details regarding how the BCP will be tested. For this part of the project:
Research BIAs and BCPs.
Develop a draft BIA plan for the Health Network that focuses on the data center. The BIA should identify:

Critical business functions
Critical resources
Maximum acceptable outage (MAO) and impact
Recovery point objective (RPO) and recovery time objective (RTO)

Develop a draft BCP that could recover business operations while efforts are ongoing to restart previous operations. You may use or repurpose a BCP template you find online. Include a description of how you would test the plan.

Scenario
The project manager for GDS is in the process of developing the Project Scope Statement for the PMO Cloud Implementation Project. You were chosen to assist the project manager in creating the schedule and updating the Project Scope Statement.
Your first duty in preparing the schedule is to create the WBS in outline format, identifying activities and tasks to complete the project. After validating the project tasks to develop the WBS in outline format, you will transfer the WBS outline to your Project Management Information System (PMIS) software, Microsoft Project to establish Gantt chart and project milestones. The software tool Microsoft Project will make it easier for the project manager to monitor and control each phase of the project.
High- level, tasks for this project include, but not limited to the following:
Project Management
