You have been hired as an experienced network engineer to design a network that will integrate SNMP, Netflow, and syslog to monitor network health. The wired network consists of five departments in a two-story building using IPv4 currently. Research and create a list of requirements for deploying SNMP, Netflow, and syslog into the network with minimal impact to users and customers. Including all three services into the network may require new IP addresses to be allocated. Make sure new IP addresses are listed in the requirements.
Write a minimum 3-page paper (cover letter and reference page do not count) and draw a network diagram that will be inserted into your plan to present to your manager, who has a technical background, that details your plan and your timeline for implementation.
Make sure that:
1. Your plan includes equipment and configuration information.
2. Your plan is comprehensive and has one or more network diagrams that portray your plan.
3. Your plan includes your proposed network changes and a 2-sentence outage message that will be sent by a broadcast email to the affected users.
4. Your plan includes other concerns about this change and other departments that should potentially be contacted before the change.
5. Your plan contains an APA title page, running header, table of contents, abstract, and references page.
Parameters/Expectations:
In addition to the above criteria, please ensure the following:
1. The plan’s viewpoint and purpose should be clearly established and sustained.
2. The plan should follow the conventions of Standard English (correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling).

The written portion contains sufficient information to adequately address the questions and is free from grammar and spelling errors. The paper will be provided in current APA format. Screenshots and any diagrams do not count towards the length requirement.
For assistance with APA requirements, please use the resources provided in the Academic Tools section of the course.
Review the policy on plagiarism. This policy will be strictly enforced on all applicable labs, and discussion posts. If you have any questions, please contact your professor.

Validation/Evaluation
1. Research best practices in handling and storing digital evidence:
• Using your preferred Internet browser, perform a search for best practices in handling and storing digital evidence in a forensic investigation. Focus specifically on removable media.
• Using at least three credible references, prepare a one-paragraph summary of your findings, document your sources.
Validation/Evaluation
2. • Using your preferred Internet browser, perform a search for removable media file recovery software
• Identify at least three tools, preferably free
• Prepare a one-paragraph review on each of the three tools. Indicate which one you would recommend for file recovery and why

Instructions
This week, you will submit the second project, VM Scanner Background Report, based on the Nessus Report. As you are writing your report, you may want to refer back to the CEO’s video in Week 1 to make sure your analysis and recommendations align with the CEO’s priorities and concerns.
You should link your analysis to the kinds of organizational functions and data associated with a transportation company (e.g., protecting order data, customer lists, sales leads, Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance for processing credit, proprietary software, etc.) and provide your recommendation if Mercury USA should purchase the Nessus tool. This report should be four to six pages in length and include a title/cover page. Include in-text citations and a reference page with three quality sources in a citation style of your choice.
How Will My Work Be Evaluated?
For this assignment, you are asked to provide your supervisor, Judy, with a technical evaluation of a vulnerability scanner. By documenting your results in an effective background report, you are showing how you use your technical knowledge to convey your ideas to others in a professional setting. Your ability to express your findings using the right mix of technical detail in a business context is an important workplace skill.
The following evaluation criteria aligned to the competencies will be used to grade your assignment:
1.3.1: Identify potential sources of information that can be used to develop and support ideas.
1.4.1: Produce grammatically correct material in standard academic English that supports the communication.
10.1.1: Identify the problem to be solved.
12.2.1: Identify systems for the risk assessment.
12.3.1: Select controls.
13.2.1: Evaluate vendor recommendations in the context of organization requirements.
If you haven’t already downloaded it last week, download the VM Scanner Background Report Template now and follow the instructions in the document.
Delete the instructional text from the template before you submit.
When you are finished, click “add a file” to upload your work, then click the Submit button.

This is the Scenario: “Machine learning,” says Steve. “We need to leverage machine learning if we want to stay ahead of advanced persistent threats. A human specialist just can’t keep track of every possible opening in a network. It’s impossible.”
“And we need to think about data analytics,” adds Bill. “We need to consider how people are using our network and track what people are trying to access. Our systems store all of that information—we just have to use it intelligently.”
This time, Steve and Bill both look to you. “We have about a week before we need to submit this white paper. Can you cover these two topics for the team?”
INSTRUCTIONS:
Advanced persistent threats (APTs) have been thrust into the spotlight due to their advanced tactics, techniques, procedures, and tools. These APTs are resourced unlike other types of cyber threat actors.
Your chief technology officer (CTO) has formed teams to each develop a detailed analysis and presentation of a specific APT, APT32.
I have been asked to report on the following subjects:
Cybersecurity Tools, Tactics, and Procedures
– Describe current hardware- and software-based cybersecurity tools, tactics, and procedures.
– Consider the hardware and software solutions deployed today in the context of defense-in-depth.
– Elaborate on why these devices are not successful against the APTs.
Part 4: Machine Learning and Data Analytics
– Describe the concepts of machine learning and data analytics and how applying them to cybersecurity will evolve the field.
– Are there companies providing innovative defensive cybersecurity measures based on these technologies? If so, what are they? Would you recommend any of these to the CTO?
Extra information:
– Use additional sources of information but also describe the concept in layman’s terms.
– Use visuals where appropriate.
About 2 pages a topic should be good here.

This is about how technology has changed over the years. So for example like choosing a topic and I was thinking a car. Car has been changed over the years by going from gas cars to electric cars.

What can pipeline businesses learn from platforms to stay relevant? Name a company and describe how it transformed the pipeline business model to the platform model.
