Type in Times New Roman, 12 point and double space.
Students will follow the current APA Style as the sole citation and reference style used in written work submitted as part of coursework.

Self-Completion Questionnaire
For Part 2 of this assignment, you will create a self-completion questionnaire for the quantitative research project of interest you described in the Unit I discussion board. Address the prompts below.
State the problem to be solved.
Formulate four survey questions, using a Likert scale of your choosing, that would help solve your problem when answered. The survey questions should identify the variables to be measured (e.g., job satisfaction, motivation, productivity, morale, managerial competence, organizational commitment, job stress, etc.)
Include relevant demographic questions.
Indicate the level of scale measurement used for each question, from among the four levels of scale measurement.
Identify the population of interest.
Identify the sampling frame.
Identify the sampling design.
Describe the method of survey distribution.
Your assignment should consist of a minimum of four pages in length, not counting the required references page. Please thoroughly address all areas listed above, and include at least two credible sources. Responses should be written in a narrative format rather than being formatted as short bullet points. Please use APA compliant headings and sub-headings that align with the individual assignment requirements. Adhere to APA Style, including in-text citations and references for all sources that are used.

areas in the study that were well executed and areas that require improvement.

In cybersecurity, there are several approaches used to track and analyze the various characteristics of cyber intrusions by threat actors. Two well-known approaches are the diamond model of intrusion analysis and the cyber kill chain model.
Create a digital infographic that analyzes various cyber threat models and address the following:
Describe the diamond model of intrusion analysis and how the cyber kill chain model works.
Explain how these two models differ.
Describe approaches individuals, organizations, and governments have taken to protect privacy.
Analyze how the cyber threat models are used to identify and protect against cybercrime threat vectors, motivations, and ideologies.
APA style is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.
This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

Promoting Equitable Emergency Preparedness: The Impact of a Diverse Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Workforce on Emergency Preparedness in Minority Communities

Watch this video which describes a cyber weapon called Stuxnet. It was deployed by unconfirmed actors on a uranium enrichment facility called Natanz in Iran. This cyber weapon was designed to attack specific components of nuclear centrifuges to degrade their capability. Stuxnet’s code is available on the web and can be repurposed for different target sets and missions. How likely is it that we will see this particular weapon, or another one that is similar, used against a nation’s critical infrastructure? What types of other targets could you see it being customized to affect. Are you aware of any other cyber attacks on critical infrastructure facilities? Share your thoughts and react to those of your classmates.

Technology is heavily advancing in this day and age, so I feel like it is very likely that this weapon or one similar can be used against a nation’s critical infrastructure. With Stuxnet, since the code is accessible it is very possible that it can be used in the future for negative uses. Other targets I could see being customized to affect are phones, drones, and the internet because of cyberterrorism and to access information online. I am not aware of any other cyber attacks on critical infrastructure facilities, but I am sure they have been increasing as technology has been advancing faster than we can handle.

Stuxnet was a sneaky computer program designed to break machines used for making nuclear materials in Iran. Some people think it was made by the United States and Israel, but nobody officially confirmed it. The worry is that more attacks like Stuxnet could happen to important stuff in the future. Think about things like the power we use in our homes or the water we drink. These systems also rely on computers, and if someone messes with them, it can cause big problems. The tricky part is that it’s hard to catch the people who do these attacks. They can hide their tracks, making it tough to point fingers. Plus, the code used for Stuxnet is available on the internet. That means other bad guys can use it or make similar tools to target different things. Sadly, we’ve already seen some other big attacks on important systems. In 2015, Ukraine’s power went out because of a cyber-attack. In 2017, a nasty computer bug called NotPetya messed up a lot of organizations. Smart people are trying to figure out how to stop these attacks, but it’s a complicated problem that needs lots of attention and action to keep our important systems safe.

For the past few modules, you have been working with your instructor, building your basic knowledge of a region and topic key to ES. This week, find one story on your topic reported in a news media outlet in your region or globally reported over the past week. Give a summary of the story (150 – 250 words) and then, using at least TWO of the peer-reviewed journals in your bibliography, assess how it will develop to impact ES in your region (250 – 350 words). Note that you should use a variety of the sources from your bibliography; merely using the same two sources as the previous module will result in a lower grade.
Keep in mind:
This should be a follow-up from your journal in the previous module. Keeping that in mind, make sure to incorporate any feedback from your instructor into this week’s assignment to ensure that your grade continues to improve! Your journal article should be referenced with APA, including your media sources.
I have attached the two previous journals to help complete this weeks one.
