Overview
In your text, Information Technology for Management: Driving Digital Transformation to Increase Local and Global Performance, Growth and Sustainability, Chapter 13, the opening case was “It Took 10 Years and More Than $600 Million to Realize That Big Muscles, Not Computer, Can Best Move Baggage” The project was intended to integrate baggage handling at all three of the airport’s concourses into one single reliable baggage system. The project was burdened with unrealistic expectations, but it was still approved for implementation despite expert warnings. The implementation proved to be a failure due to numerous delays that impacted the opening of Denver’s international airport.

Discuss the roles of data encryption and key management in protecting sensitive information from unauthorized access and ensuring the integrity and confidentiality of data. Respond to the following questions in your post and provide APA formatted references:
What are the key differences between symmetric and asymmetric encryption methods, and in what scenarios would each be most appropriately used?
Assess the impact of encryption on system resources and performance. How do organizations balance the need for security with maintaining system efficiency?
How does Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) enhance data security measures within an organization? Provide examples to support your explanation.
What are the best practices in key management and why they are critical for maintaining the security of encrypted data?

Each week of this course you will complete assignments that will culminate in the creation of your capstone project in week 8. The Capstone Project is an eight week long project consisting of a systems analysis, with some design, of a typical information system. The purpose of this assignment is, therefore, to enable you to perform a simulation of a real-life development project via the Sandia Medical Devices case studies in the textbook. To do this, first, read the Sandia Medical Devices case studies in chapters 5 and 8. Second, answer the questions in 500-750 words (2-3 pages) using APA format.

IT 409 Project One Guidelines and Rubric
Competency
In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following competency:
Determine the impact of systems on an organization

Scenario
You are the assistant director of the IT department of Lost Pines Outfitters, a medium-sized online retailer. You have recently received data showing that customers are not satisfied with the current ordering system. They report that they keep selecting items that seem to be available and then receive conflicting information when they try to complete the purchase. This has resulted in wasting customer time and causing some customers to leave the site without making a purchase. The data also shows that it is taking employees too long to fulfill those orders. Your director is contemplating acquiring a new system that makes the process of buying merchandise easier for your customers and improves the employee experience as well. She has asked you to develop a presentation for your company stakeholders. The presentation will show how the existing ordering system is currently receiving, processing, and fulfilling orders.

Directions
Customers have stated that once they select an item they want to purchase on your company website, they are told only at checkout that the item is not currently in stock. When customers do successfully place an order, a warehouse employee begins processing the order. The employee refers to the inventory report to make sure that the item is in stock and to locate it in the warehouse. The inventory report is printed every three days. Once the item is located, the employee packages it for shipping and notifies the delivery company that an item is ready to ship. If they cannot locate the item in the warehouse, the employee must inform the customer that the item is out of stock. The current process is taking one to four hours.
The director of IT has asked you to create a presentation for stakeholders. Your presentation must include a data flow diagram (DFD) that models the primary business functions (product ordering, internal order processing, and logistics or shipping) and the flow of data between them. You should also be sure to include inputs to and outputs from the processes. Finally, you will need to provide suggestions concerning where the process could be changed to make it more efficient.
The presentation must contain 5 to 7 slides.
Within your presentation, you must:
Create a Level 0 (context diagram) data flow diagram for the existing system. This data flow diagram will show how information flows into and out of the system. Recall that a context diagram includes only the system and inputs and outputs.
Create a Level 1 data flow diagram for the existing system. This data flow diagram will show a breakdown of the system into business processes and the flow of information from one business process to another within the system, including:
Product ordering
Internal order processing
Logistics or shipping
Identify data flows, processes, data stores, and inputs and outputs by clearly labeling them within the diagram.
Identify user requirements and business functionality for each business process. Consider the end user (customer and employee) needs for ease of use, accessibility, and performance.
In conclusion, provide suggestions for changes that should be made to the system and explain the advantages and disadvantages of implementing those changes. Consider the organization’s desire for:
Ease of use
Accessibility
Performance
What to Submit
To complete this project, you must submit the following:
Presentation
You must create a 5- to 7-slide presentation that shows how the existing system functions and how it could be improved. To ensure that you are not missing any important information in your presentation, you should present your work in the following manner:
Presentation title and presenter’s name (1 slide)
Level 0 (context) data flow diagram within the existing system (1 slide)
Level 1 data flow diagram within the existing system (1 slide)
User requirements and business functionality (1 to 2 slides)
Suggested changes, with an explanation of the advantages and disadvantages of implementing them (1 to 2 slides)
You may use any software application to create your presentation, but you must convert it to either PowerPoint PPTX or PDF format in order to submit it.

Research one countermeasure or information security service that is available today for information assurance. Evaluate it based on the specifications and reviews. Identify who would use this particular countermeasure or service and why it would be appropriate for their needs. Illustrate this using an example of an online activity (e.g., banking, shopping) that could use this countermeasure. Create a visual representation in MS Visio of the activity to include in your short paper. Provide a short description of the visual representation, identifying the various information assets and the information states that pose vulnerability. How would the countermeasure that you identified apply? What vulnerability would it mitigate? What are its limitations?
