INTRODUCTION
You are the cybersecurity professional for Company A and are responsible for protecting the information of the company. Your roles include managing the company’s cybersecurity capabilities and tools, conducting vulnerability management, and assessing risk to sensitive information. Company A has recently purchased Company B and wants to merge both networks.
Executives of Company A have tasked you with making risk-based decisions on integrating Company B’s network with Company A’s existing network. Company B

The term “ecosystems” usually refers to a community of living organisms in a particular physical environment. For this discussion, you will consider the entities and context in society that foster innovation.
Choose one example from the readings or videos provided. Describe why the example could be considered an ecosystem. In your responses to one another, try to highlight similarities and differences between your examples. Think about your own creativity and/or your organization’s attempts at innovation. How does your view of these change when you recognize that they are situated within an ecosystem?

NSF BRAIN INITIATIVE: SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS: MYSTERIES OF THE BRAIN

I’ve attached an example of what I pasted in a discussion for this topic so feel free to reference it or scrap it. Using CISA and mobile technology leaders like Apple as the audience may make the paper more challenging so feel free to change the audience to business owners, cybersecurity managers, or someone else. Also feel free to scrap my recommended suggestions if you change the audience since I could see those being hard to find research on.
The attached instructions explain the task. I’ve selected 2 charts & graphs to cover the need for 2 graphics.
Task: In this paper, you will write a briefing paper that provides information about a specific
problem in an industry or field of study. The paper will also include a possible solution to the
problem.
The problem can be a technical problem, a logistical problem, a human resource problem, a
performance problem, or any other issue that the industry or field is dealing with.
You will respond to a discussion topic in week 3 about potential topics for the briefing paper,
and you will post a memo to your instructor in a discussion topic in week 5 about your topic for
the briefing paper. Your instructor should approve of the topic before you submit your first
draft of the briefing paper.
• Length: 1200-1500 words, single-spaced
• Graphics: at least two graphics. The graphics can be original, or they can be borrowed from
other sources, with the sources cited in APA format
• Format in Citing and Listing Sources: APA 7
th edition
• Number of Sources: five or more sources, at least three of which are to be from scholarly or
credible trade journals.
In addition, because you are writing on a problem in an industry or field of study, at least two of
your sources are to be published within the last 24 months.
The five sources must be cited within the text of your paper and used to support your argument
in the paper. Sources used to cite graphics are additional sources. They are not included in the
list of five sources required for the paper.

This week you will finish up your research on either securing your own home network. The goal of this exercise is to begin doing research. As a security practitioner, this will be a daily task. You need to know which resources are good, and which resources are bad. You also need to document data flows, network topologies, etc. By the end of this assignment you should have some level of comfort on how to use the SMUMN library catalogs.
In designing your own home network remember to stick to your budget. This budget will drive whether you purchase new equipment or utilize some spare equipment and use open source software. Think about the need for a firewall, a forward proxy server, an IDS/IPS. Do you plan on integrating a wireless network? How do you plan on securing it? Do you plan on utilizing a mesh wireless network, or use multiple access points with different SSIDs or active channels? There is a lot to think about here.
Guidelines:
• Your assignment this week is to complete a reference list to be turned in.
• Also include any relevant diagrams (network topologies, data flow diagrams, etc).
o You might use Visio, Omnigraffle, LucidChart or even PowerPoint to create basic shapes (squares, circles, etc.) and make a diagram to be included in your rough and final drafts.
• Use APA format
• Include 8+ references that support your design, in APA format

1. Using some website resource, such as F-SecureLinks to an external site., look up recent computer virus outbreaks.
2. How many virus outbreaks have occurred in the past 7 days?
3. Submit how many outbreaks have occurred in the past 30 days, 90 days, and 1 year.
4. Are virus attacks increasing in frequency?

If you are designing your own security lab, do you plan on buying new dedicated hardware or use virtualization? Do you need a mobile solution like a laptop, or do you plan on having a dedicated workstation loaded with the required tools? What tools do you plan on installing as well? Is there a need to preserve data? Again a lot of things to consider when designing your own security lab.
Please turn in a complete list of references. Make sure to follow the APA format when listing your references. Also, based on your research, create a diagram to support your plan. Your diagram can be network topology or a data flow diagram on any processes you may have defined.

ASSIGNMENT:
For this assignment you are going to create a PowerPoint Presentation describing the 10/90 Rule; explain how it is used and why it has sound foundations in actual implementations. Be sure to include the following in your PowerPoint: Note: this assignment requires an audio component see below.

Required 5 to 7 slides in length (does not include the cover and references slides).

Choose an executive or business theme for the presentation.

You must use any or a combination of the following: images, photos, clipart, in your presentation to convey a point you are trying to make.

You must include audio to each slide to serve as your speaker notes. Explain each slide as if you were presenting to upper management in a presentation. (Note: Your presentation is more of a summary, while your audio presentation would be a detailed explanation of the slide. The purpose of a slide show is to provide the lecturer or presenter with a guide to their spoken presentation.) Include an audio component to each slide. Explain each slide as if you were presenting to upper management in a presentation in your own voice. (Note: The audio recording should not be a word-for-word spoken work of the written presentation. Presentations serve as a guide for the presenter.)

Use APA references and citation to support your content and points.

Include a references slide at the end of the presentation.
