This paper serves to direct the development team along a pathway of security, with the intent to share information about the most secured manner to implement this project. It must first be acknowledged that for information to be secured, information security must be integrated into the SDLC from system inception. The early integration of security in the

In today’s IT world every organization has a responsibility to protect the information and sensitive data they have. Protecting data is not only responsibility of security and IT staff but every individual is involved in protecting the information. The risks to information security are not digital only, but it involves technology, people and process that an organization may have. These threats may represent the problems that are associated to complex and expensive solution, but doing nothing about these risks is not the solution.

I am Professor Kirk Mooring and I will be your instructor for this class. In this class, you will learn the fundamental core theories of information and network security. In this course, you will learn and use technology skills that are in demand in today’s job market. With so many threats and vulnerabilities created daily that we have to learn to work as a team in order to protect our data with the appropriate security safeguards. You will study the concepts that will help you evaluate and mitigate risk by selecting the appropriate security controls and technologies.

Currently there are 475 bottled water plants in the United States produce over 600 types of water. The students in the Enc1101 class did an experiment where they taste tested three different types of water and tried to guess which one was which. The students then recorded what they thought about each one such as taste and smell. A majority of the class guessed wrong, at least twice, but this experiment was successful because it gave the students a first hand experience taste testing the water.

When conducting a study, it is impossible to collect data from the whole population, therefore it is important to select a representative sample because sampling makes it possible to select a representative for study and discover things that apply to many more people who are not studies (Maxfield & Babbie, 2012). The purpose of sampling is to generate a set of individuals or other entitles that give us a valid picture of all such individual or other entitles. It is important to generalise from a sample to unobserved population the sample in intended to represent. Therefore, when selecting a group of subjects for study, it is important to ensure that we represent some larger population.

Participate in class discussion 4 out of 7 days in a week. & Respond to weekly discussion questions.

For this experiment, 4 different brands of water that ranged from different prices were tested along with tap water from the city of West Quincy. The 4 different brands of water that were used were, Aquafina, Poland Springs, Fiji, and 7/11 Brand Water. A graduated cylinder, many pH paper/strips, ten [10] Lead Water Testing Kits, ten [10] Sodium test Strips, two [2] Bacteria Test Kits, ten [10] Test Tubes along with 10 Test Tube Stoppers, two [2] test tube racks, multiple paper towels, one [1] roll of tape, one [1] pen/pencil, and one [1] refrigerator were used for the experiment. First, the bottles of water, multiple paper towels, the graduated cylinder, ten [10] test tubes along with five [10] test tube stoppers, one [10] test tube rack,

To rural, northern Ontario residents, including those of First Nations communities, the Droplet is a self-testing water kit for common microbiological contaminants which provides unmatched reliability, low cost, and accessibility to ensure the safety of privatized water sources. Exhibit 4 presents the top two competitive advantages of the Droplet, cost and availability, against its most prominent competitors in the marketplace. Unlike the lack of accessibility of both the free collection bottles provided by PHO and the solution offered through Canadian Tire, the Droplet offers an optimal price point which allows maximal access. As demonstrated earlier, consumers want to increase their access to testing, but face largest barriers surrounding

Students’ data was once a risk for security breaches due to the lack of secured emails, different services used by the university, and social tool being used that were not appropriately secured. The TAMU system is used by individuals with a vast background, i.e. students, visitors, professor and staff. The TAMU, through a third party, improved their computer security and now all involved can securely sync their electronic devices to include their smartphones. The article explains how the university separate data, which presently can be stored in a cloud, if the data is less critical, with sensitive data being stored locally. Advanced data security features are being released at the university in stages. This proactive prevention measure has assisted in controlling security

I was pleased to read that the research was a result of a valid representation of the population. Age, gender, and race were all shown appropriately as stated in the method section of the article. I was also happy to read that productive and acceptable modifications were made in order to adjust for oversampling.
