Mini-Paper Assignment: Common Security Vulnerabilities in E-Commerce Applications
Learning Objectives and Outcomes
Identify common security vulnerabilities that affect e-commerce applications and their countermeasures.
Activity Requirements
E-commerce web applications include shopping carts, online auctions, and similar interactive websites, all of which are prone to vulnerabilities. The possible results of an attacker exploiting a vulnerability in a web application are data theft and financial loss to businesses and consumers.
Organizations that run e-commerce web sites must protect the confidentiality of customer data and implement layers of controls that stop attacks and prevent breaches. However, not every e-commerce application is highly secure.
For this assignment:
Research security vulnerabilities in common e-commerce applications.
Determine countermeasures that organizations implement against the vulnerabilities to protect data.
Write an informal report that describes a typical e-commerce application, three common vulnerabilities, and the countermeasures that are typically implemented to minimize risk.

I need an analysis/case study of a real, for-profit company with the following criteria:
Real Life Case Study Project
Overview
The objective of this assignment is to integrate all the knowledge that you accumulate through the semester and apply it to a “real-life” IT context. During the last week of class, you will be expected to deliver a Word document of your analysis and a 5 (five) minute presentation about your project, submitted using Panopto in Moodle.
First Steps
Your first step is to identify an organization. You should select an organization that you: (a) are working at now; (b) Have worked for previously; or (c) Have a friend or relative working at now. The organization can be of any size (I highly recommend that you pick an organization with at least 100 employees), but you must have access to the organization so that you can interview one or more employees of that organization at a point later in the semester. There are some requirements on the type of organization that you select. The firm must be a for-profit organization and cannot include the federal, state, or local government as well as any branches of the military, a non-profit organization, a charitable organization, a not-for-profit hospital, a university, a school, or an organization that derives any of its’ funding from the federal, state, or local municipalities. If you select any of these types of organizations, you will receive a zero on this project.
If you have taken a previous class from me, you can use the same organization. However, be sure to ensure that you focus upon the cloud for this course and incorporate any feedback that was offered to you from previous classes into consideration.
Section 1: About the company
The first step is for you to understand the company. For you to understand the company, you need to begin with the company history. Drawing upon information that is publicly available as well as information that you find from your informant, trace the history of the company from beginning to the current time period, including the key executives, key milestones in the evolution of the company, and key developments that led to this point in the organization.
Section 2: Profile of Information Technology
The second section of the paper should profile the different types of IT systems that are being used by the organization. Your job is not to list all of the types of systems, but rather to find out which are the most important to the company. Drawing upon the lectures and the different types of systems that we have discussed in class, talk about which IT systems are most important both operationally and strategically to the organization.
Section 3: Assessment of the Current Technology Architecture
Your third task is to critique the technology architecture, both operationally and strategically. Your assessment should outline the limitations of their architecture and identify which aspect of their infrastructure would be best suited to move towards the cloud.
Section 4: Solving the Challenge
Your fourth task is to propose a solution for which aspect of their organization they should move into the cloud. In your solution, identify: (a) Why you believe they should move into the cloud for your specific solution and (b) Which specific aspect of their infrastructure needs to be moved.
Section 5: Implementing the Solution
Your fifth task is to create an implementation plan to put your solution into place. Identify the critical success factors, any potential sources of risk, and the business case that needs to be established. If any changes to governance or strategy need to be made, be sure to include this. Conclude by discussing the benefits to the company for cloud computing.
Specific Formatting Requirements
On the top of the first page include the name of your company and your name
The font type is to be Times New Roman, 12 point font
The document is to be double spaced, with one inch margins
References (if included) are to formatted in APA format
It is expected that the length of your paper is at least 15 pages (at a minimum)
Deliverables
There are two deliverables for this project:
Deliverable #1: Final report. The final report is a Word document that includes all of the sections of the paper. As a guideline, it is expected that your paper will be at least 15 pages
Deliverable #2: 5-minute presentation. In Moodle, there is a link for a Panopto video assignment. [I will complete based on the final paper.]
This is a case study; please rely on public information and personal knowledge for references. Textbooks used for this course are:
Cloud Computing Concepts, Technology and Architecture by Thomas Erl, Zaigham Mahmood, and Ricardo Puttini (ASIN B00CM9V7Q8)

Please reach out with any questions. I am attaching the firm used in his last class and the professor’s feedback. The company name is a pseudonym; I do not know the actual company that was used.

Attached word document for instructions. This is part 1 of a 5 part final project which is compiled at the end of 5 weeks. If possible, I would like this writer to be available for the following 4 assignments. Please let me know if this is acceptable so I can submit the following assignments in separate orders.

I need the chapter 4 and 5 of my study.
Given the attached documents as reference kindly write my chapter 4 and 5. Take note that Chapter 4 construction must rely on survey results and Chapter 5 must specify summary, conclusion and recommendation.

Managing Digital Innovation Project Development and Deployment is the topic discussion: Please write a 4 page paper on the attached articles and also Chapter 6 of the book “The Digital Mindset: What It Really Takes to Thrive
in the Age of Data, Algorithms, and AI by Paul Leonardi and Tsedal Neeley. Talk about key takeaways and lessons learned combined for the overall article topics rather than talking about the articles itself. Ex: how can these help myself or help better (change) my current organization (I work in the HR department for a finance and consulting company.) I’ve also attached the instruction questions you can use as a guide to help you write. He’s very particular so I’ve also attached my previous work as a guide to help you understand what he’s looking for.

As the IT project manager for a global payroll company, you were recently asked to lead a multinational team of product developers and have been informed that most of the work will happen virtually due to limited travel budgets. Your team has been tasked with creating a new payroll system for the German location of the company. Your team will consist of five individuals: two Americans (including you), two Germans, and one Vietnamese.
Some of the project members only work on your project part-time, and some of them have only basic English skills. The project stakeholders are the HR director, CFO, and union representative for the employees. All stakeholders are from the German location. Your project sponsor is a high-level German manager with whom you have not previously worked. You decide to consult the Hofstede Centre website to get a better understanding of the cultural differences between the involved countries.
Before you can create a communication plan, you need to understand the team that you will work with and the differences that will challenge you in creating a communication plan.
Instructions:
For this assignment, you must prepare a project communication plan and a comprehensive written analysis about the importance of effective project communication.
Use the Trello account you created in the previous assignment to create a project communication plan. Remember, the communication plan is used to keep team members and stakeholders informed of news, progress, issues, and events. Refer back to the communication management plan you created in the previous assignment as a guide for your project communication plan.
Your project communication plan should include the following:
Identify the project’s communication needs by providing a descriiption of the team and each person’s role.
Define the purpose of the communication plan.
Determine the goal of each communication.
Choose the communication methods.
Determine the cadence for the communications.
Identify the owners of the various aspects of the communication plan.
Identify the stakeholders and your plans for effective communication practices given the cultural differences that may exist.
Explain how you plan to encourage the use of specific tools, including a social media site.
Your comprehensive written analysis about the importance of effective project communication should include the following:
A discussion of cultural differences between the three countries involved, including potential gender issues that impact communication strategies.
An analysis of your own current communication style and how this style will work with other nationalities, particularly when it comes to motivating team members. Propose adjustments to your own communication style as needed. Remember, as an IT project manager, part of being a successful leader is to be flexible in your leadership style.
An exploration into how the virtual project environment may affect team members’ level of motivation. Outline a virtual teambuilding event (approximately one hour long, if actually conducted) you will lead at the beginning of the project.
A summary that recaps the key leadership communication challenges involved in managing a virtual, multicultural team.
Length: 10-12 pages, not including title and reference pages. Include Trello communication plan screenshots in the appendix.
References: Include a minimum of 5 scholarly resources.

submit your proposal for a prototype of an App(application) that would be needed in today’s society to improve a process, offer efficiency, or solve a problem. You may consider any industry (business, education, transportation, technology, science, arts, etc.) to determine the App of interest.
As you design your prototype consider the user interface components. Your App should be easy to operate, quick in response, effectively handle operational errors, and provide a simple user interface. The following list is some basic user interface requirements:
Content presentation
Easy Navigation
Simple interface
Responsive
Consistent UI elements
Feedback mechanism
Default settings
Purposeful layout
Strategical use of color and texture.
Provide help information
User centric approach
Group based view settings. (tutorialspoint, 2020)
Levels of Software Design
There are three levels of software design. First, the architectural design is the highest abstract version of the application. The high-level designs break up the architectural design into subsystems. Lastly, there is a detailed design that breaks the system and sub-system down to detailed modules. The technique of modularization divides a software system into multiple discrete and independent modules. Here are some benefits of modularization:
Smaller components are easier to maintain
Program can be divided based on functional aspects
Desired level of abstraction can be brought in the program
Components with high cohesion can be re-used again
Concurrent execution can be made possible
Desired from security aspect (tutorialspoint, 2020)

Please review the instructions since this is a continuous assignment based on the same company “Loving Your Face Makeup”. It is important for the writer to review previous material based on the company.
