I’ve attached the first steps of the ACH you completed for me. This is to build upon it.
ACH Steps #3-6
Instructions
You must use the scenario to complete this and the final assignment.
Using the ACH matrix below, complete steps #3-6 of the ACH Exercise. If you didn’t do Step #2 in the Week 4 discussion, you will have to complete that before you begin. You may borrow ideas from your classmates’ week 4 discussion posts.
You do not have to cite for this project or include a bibliography. You only need to use course materials. If you use outside materials, you must cite them AND include a bibliography cited in CMS format.

Conduct a brief quantitative risk analysis of yourself
Recall our learning in week 5 when you conducted a faux risk analysis. Using yourself as a target, conduct a brief quantitative risk analysis of yourself, and list your top 5 assets and your methodology. Responses should be 3-4 paragraphs in length.
See attached risk analysis paper for a reference.

Create in your mind a fictional entity. You may use a college as an example or create your own. In your fictional entity, assume there exists no current policy on company emails or employee internet activity on company equipment.
You have a lot of flexibility here. I recommend you consider a small business with only several employees.
Your report shall be in the style of a Proposal. See the attached Week 6 Assignment AUS Proposal Instructions for details. Your paper should have several actions identified. Choose a range of 5-10 actions to cover. For each item, your paper should include at a minimum:
Policy identification
Policy details
Possible actions in the event of break.
Please refer to the attached document for further details.

• Create and post an analysis of the HSEM-related grant (Port Security Grant Program, PSGP).
• Please refer to the attached document for further details.

Please use my final resume PDF to help with creating this assignment. This assignment was supposed to be done before my final resume draft.
You’ve already reviewed three internships/jobs in Module 2. Now, you will analyze one of them or find a new/recent one (job postings preferred). This work will help you tailor your resume and cover letter for specific job postings.
Copy the job posting into a document.
Highlight qualifications and expectations with different colors according to your personal judgment and knowledge about the market. Some job postings state minimum and preferred qualifications. However, some of them are not obvious. You should find them! You can use
“yellow” for the most important,
“green” for the secondary, and
“blue” for the less important qualifications.
Open Track Changes (or similar tool) in the software and add comments for each minimum and preferred qualification. In these comments, state how your related qualifications match or do not match the position’s requirements. If your skills do not match the requirements, think about how you can cover these requirements as soon as possible.
Think about what is most impressive about this job posting for you (e.g. best fit for your background/skillset, high salary, working place or remote opportunity, career development, the company goal, other motives, working hours, family-friendly, etc.). At the end of the word document, write your thoughts about the job. Do you believe this job is perfect for you? Why?

Drawing upon resource material provided and that discovered while conducting your own research, address both of the following topics:
    1    Examine the role of risk management within the homeland security enterprise and related resources. Additionally, select one of the critical infrastructure sectors and specify how activities related to risk management are currently being employed to effectively address identified areas of risk, those that include (but not limited to) resource/grant allocation, strategic and other forms of planning, etc., from the federal level to state and local efforts. 
    2    Address how cyber-security relates to our nation’s critical infrastructure, as well as challenges related to providing such security within the homeland security enterprise.
Technical Requirements
    •    Your paper must be at a minimum of 4-6 pages (the Title and Reference pages do not count towards the minimum limit).
    •    Scholarly and credible references should be used. A good rule of thumb is at least 2 scholarly sources per page of content.
    •    Type in Times New Roman, 12 point and double space with 1 inch margins all around.
    •    Students will follow the current APA Style as the sole citation and reference style used in written work submitted as part of coursework. For more on this see the APA style guide https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/ (https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/). Also, use the attached APA style paper in Microsoft Word as a template for proper formatting.
    •    Points will be deducted for the use of Wikipedia or encyclopedic type sources. It is highly advised to utilize books, peer-reviewed journals, articles, archived documents, etc.
    •    All submissions will be graded using the assignment rubric

Costs to defend against cyber threats continue to grow as losses mount from cybercrime. Examples of these crimes include retailers such as Target and Home Depot with the loss credit card information, to Sony related loss of company secrets on film releases, and to the US Government, with millions of government employee’s personal data breached. Cybercrime is now an everyday occurrence and estimated annual costs due to these acts have soared into the hundreds of billions of dollars.
For this SLP, answer the following:
What are some estimates on the cost of cybercrime to individuals, businesses, and the governments?
Describe some significant cybercrime examples (at least one to a government, business and individual). Comment on the actor, target, methods and resulting impact.

Recent brain imaging studies have shown that nonverbal communication is processed in different parts of the brain than verbal communication. This concept is discussed in the Nonverbal Communication module resources. The following document contains excerpts from the resources. Review the document carefully and use the questions to annotate the document as you go.
What are the two most essential non-verbal skills? Why are they important? (Highlight the answer in yellow.)
What type of non-verbal skill are you good at? Why? (Comment next to your highlight.)
Why is the nonverbal communication side of your brain less developed? (Highlight the answer in yellow.)
Read the blue highlighted section in the document and then watch the video example. Answer the questions and then compare your responses with the green highlighted findings. Did you get them all? (Comment next to the answer.)
How can you look more knowledgeable in your interview? (Highlight the answer in yellow.)
How can you show your engagement with interviewers? (Highlight the answer in green.)
How can you show your enthusiasm about the position? (Highlight the appropriate paragraph in blue. Then, add a comment about a ridiculous song you sang as a kid about body language.)
How can you improve your body language in an interview? (Highlight three tips in blue.)

In this activity, you will review several risk-oriented situations. The situations are fictional but for this lesson, work as if they are real.
Using the risk analysis formula provided, enumerate each risk and rank them in order. Then provide an executive summary recommendation for how or if each risk should be remediated. See the attached Week 5 Assignment Risk Analysis Instructions document for the details.
