For this Course Project, you may choose a project that is of interest to you.  When selecting a project, avoid picking one that is either too big or too small. For example, do not decide to build a new stadium for your local sports team (too big) or to plant your summer garden (too small). Projects may vary from a few hundred thousand dollars to […]

Assignment: Provide a reflection of how the knowledge, skills, or theories of this course have been applied, or could be applied, in a practical manner to your current work environment. If you are not currently working, share times when you have or could observe these theories and knowledge could be applied to an employment opportunity in your field of study. 

iscuss, in 500 words, how you would advise your current employer to use encryption to reduce the vulnerabilities of  their data at rest, in use, and in transit (or in motion).  Identify at what points you think their data is at the highest risk. Consider where the data is when it at rest, in transit, or in use and the potential vulnerabilities associated with each of those locations.

 After reading chapter 4, evaluate the history of the Data Encryption Standard (DES) and then how it has transformed cryptography with the advancement of triple DES.  The initial post must be completed by Thursday at 11:59 eastern.  You are also required to post a response to a minimum of two other students in the class by the end of the week.  You must use at least one […]

 Imagine you are the owner of an IT Consulting Business. You have been contracted to help an organization operate effectively to protect their client’s information.

Use the Internet to research the differences between RFID and NFC communication technologies. Then write a paper in current APA format that compares three similarities and three differences, discuss how each of these technologies can be used in personal and commercial environments, and the ease or difficulty in configuring systems and applications for their use.

Random numbers (or, at least,  pseudorandom numbers) are essential in cryptography, but it is extremely  difficult even for powerful hardware and software to generate them. Go  online and conduct research on random number generators. What are the  different uses of these tools besides cryptography? How do they work?  Explain your answer using your own words in 2-3 paragraphs. 

Chapters 30, 31, and 34 presented three mini-case studies on ERM and risk. Each one presented a slightly different risk scenario. Suppose General Motors wants to replace one of their traditional lines of vehicles with all-electric models. How could GM use game theory to identify and assess the major risks to this decision? Identify two major risks that would result from GM converting an existing […]

If you have you been involved with a company doing a redesign of business processes, discuss what went right during the redesign and what went wrong from your perspective. Additionally, provide a discussion on what could have been done better to minimize the risk of failure? If you have not yet been involved with a business process redesign, research a company that has recently completed […]
