I have the study and its results for this assignment.

Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word posting (use the outline of 5 topics below) in which you describe your results from this short study.

Use the  following format and have a heading for each of these headings in bold type:

• 1.  Analyze the responses to the questionnaire. For each question that you asked, you should compile the answers that were provided and evaluate the answers for that  question.  Report the results for each question.  Do this for all the questions.
• 2.  Comment on the validity and reliability of your questionnaire.
• 3.  Discuss what you would do differently on this questionnaire to improve it. You might even want to ask your respondents this question and see what hints that they provide.
• 4.  Include the questionnaire.  Remember that you need to have two different question types just to give you some experience in using different types.  (Example:  open ended questions,  Likert scale,  yes/no questions,  ranking, rating, etc.)
• 5.  Discuss your sample characteristics. Be sure to include the exact number of your sample.  Describe the demographics (example: age, occupation, geographical location, etc.)  Remember that at least 10 responses are required.

Imagine for a moment that you are a hacker; an ethical one. You are called upon by law enforcement based on your expertise to hack into a network of a business known to be launching crimes against humanity as its primary mission for operation and capital gain. Assume you are not to be concerned with any politics of the job and your actions are legal and ethically justified. This nefarious business takes its own security seriously and therefore has implemented several forms of network security such as firewalls, Web proxies for its Web gateways, and VPNs for remote users. You also know that this business exists much like any normal corporation, renting several floors of office space to accommodate between 100-200 employees. Also imagine that the business’s entire network topology is located in that same location. Your goal is to infiltrate the security enough to find evidence included in the local MSQL database. You need to remain anonymous and operate within the reasonable parameters of the law.

Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:

 

1. Explain your method of attack and operation within reasonable parameters of the law.
2. Discuss specific malware, social engineer, or any other type of attacks you would deploy to achieve your desired goals.
3. Assess the hurdles you expect and how you plan to overcome them.
4. Determine how you would remain anonymous without blowing your cover.
5. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

 

 

Oftentimes, the process of implementing security opens one’s eyes to other forms of security they hadn’t thought of previously. Well, in this assignment you should experience just that. This assignment focuses on a model of implementing security in layers which in many cases requires a network that is designed accordingly. In this assignment, you are to design a network to incorporate the following:

Corporate Site (Chicago)

 

• All servers exist here (Web server, file server, print server, mail server, ftp server)
• Connection to the Internet (50mbps)
• 300 employees who only need access to local corporate resources and the Internet

   

  1 Remote Site (8 miles away)

• 20 employees who need access to all resources at corporate  plus the Internet
• Connection to the Internet (3mbps)

   

  Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:

 

1. Using Microsoft Visio or its open source alternative, design a network diagram, particularly with defense in depth in mind which depicts:
   1. All network devices used (routers, switches, hubs, firewalls, VPNs, proxies, and / or others)
   2. The interconnections between network devices
   3. The end user (client) devices (desktops, laptops)
   4. The Internet cloud, generically, to represent your network’s interface to the Internet

 

Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length.

 

2. Describe the flow of data through your network, and explain how your network design provides multiple layers of security.
3. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

Using the network diagram below, your task is to incorporate the devices on the lower right into the diagram to create a secure corporate network. The devices you need to incorporate into the network diagram include: Web server, ftp server, vulnerability scanner, anti-virus server (client-based / server-based), Web proxy, intrusion detection system (IDS), and authentication server.

Write a description of the work you are doing in your professional practice (Note: I am a former high school counselor). Also, expand on your work-related experience, so you and your colleagues can get to know one another and begin building a network with each other as you journey through your program.

Then, explain what motivated you to pursue an advanced graduate degree in education, and identify three topics of interest in fields related to education that ignite your passion. Finally, explain why these topics are important to you.
