Issue Analysis & Application Presentation Instructions

This two-part assignment, due by the end of Week 3 of the course term, requires selecting a problem in need of a solution related to adult development and aging, researching and analyzing information about it, and applying learning by proposing a possible solution for the problem. The presentation must be developed using research material from at least three academic, scholarly journals in the APUS Online Library.

Part I, Issue Analysis

Analysis involves researching and comparing different elements of an issue to acquire in-depth knowledge of its component parts. In this section of your presentation, you will demonstrate knowledge of the issue you selected by describing and comparing various aspects of it, drawing on a minimum of 3 academic journal articles from the APUS Online Library. This portion of the presentation should not attempt to discuss every possible problem associated with the issue you selected, but rather should focus on just one problem that you find interesting and compelling enough to want to solve after conducting your issue research (use a narrow focus).

Part II, Application

Application requires putting into action one’s knowledge and ideas about a problem and how to solve it, which in this case are informed by the scholarly material you reviewed in the writing of Part 1. In this section of your presentation, you will demonstrate the ability to apply what you have learned when researching the issue you selected by hypothesizing about and recommending possible solutions that could be used to address and improve the situation examined in your Issue Analysis. The goal here is to attempt to solve the particular problem you identified in Part 1, not to introduce additional problems or identify every possible solution.

Assignment Formatting and Submission Requirements

Your assignment should be submitted as an 8-10 slide PowerPoint presentation, not counting Title or Reference slides (all sources used must be included on the References slide). Narrated slideshows add a nice touch, but narration is not required.

First person perspective (“I”) and second person (“you”) pronouns and personal story sharing should not be included.

The presentation must contain no more than 3 direct quotes. Your instructor needs to see what meaning you have made of what you found in researching scholarly articles, not what the articles’ authors have already written.

The presentation should begin with a brief introduction followed by a focused, organized, and clearly articulated discussion of the issue in Part 1, Issue Analysis, followed by your recommendations for solving a particular problem related to it in Part 2, Application, followed by a brief conclusion summarizing the problem and your proposed solution.

Prepare a 15- to 20-slide presentation addressing the scenario and covering the topics above. Ensure that you create a title slide for your presentation (not included in the 15- to 20-slide count) displaying your name, the course title, and the date of submission. Be sure to use a background and fonts appropriate for your meeting with the CSO.

/in /by

Read the following scenario and use it as the basis for your answers to the associated essay questions:

Scenario

You are an information system security professional for CCS International, a company that provides IT personnel for a variety of government and private contracts. The organization to which you are currently contracted hires a new chief security officer (CSO) after the previous CSO retires. Although the new CSO is in charge of security for the organization’s data assets, networks, and computer systems, her background and most recent experience is in physical security, and she knows very little about information security. Your manager explains that you have been assigned the task of preparing an information brief for the new CSO, which will provide her with the basics of cyber security, acquaints her with the current threats facing your organization’s data infrastructure, and the legal issues related to protecting the enterprise. Prepare a slide presentation covering (at a minimum) the following topics:

  • What is cyber security, and what are some of its key concepts?
  • What are the most significant threats to your data, and what are some of the root causes of those threats?
  • Are cyber criminals a real danger to your enterprise? Why or why not?
  • What is risk management, and how can the risk management process help you protect your infrastructure and data?
  • What are some computer security best practices that you would recommend, and how will they help protect your IT assets?
  • If your organization does become a victim of a cyber-crime or a security incident, how will you respond? What types of evidence would be important to your investigation, and how would they be used? What would law enforcement’s role be in your incident response plan?
  • Are there any laws at the local, state, federal, or even international level that protect your organization by imposing penalties on cyber criminals? Provide at least one example of a cyber-crime court case, and explain both its outcome and its significance.
  • What do you need from the CSO to best protect your organization? Justify your requests.

Assignment

Prepare a 15- to 20-slide presentation addressing the scenario and covering the topics above. Ensure that you create a title slide for your presentation (not included in the 15- to 20-slide count) displaying your name, the course title, and the date of submission. Be sure to use a background and fonts appropriate for your meeting with the CSO.

Prepare a script to go along with the slide presentation that could be read to provide an in-depth discussion of the topics highlighted on the slides. Research the topics above, using your textbook, information provided in class, and resources provided by the UMUC library or textbooks from previous courses. Your script should be written in an academic format, should be logically organized (e.g., introduction, body, and conclusion), and should include the following:

  • a cover page with your name, the course title, and the date of submission
  • an introductory section that explains the purpose of the presentation
  • the body of the paper, addressing the topics discussed in your slides
  • a conclusion section that summarizes your discussions
  • a References page in which you reference the text or other sources, which must be properly documented and cited, using APA formatting

The script must be a minimum of 10 double-spaced, computer-generated pages in length, using a 12-point font, with 1-inch page margins (top, bottom, right, and left). There must also be a cover page and a References page; these two pages will not count toward the required page total.
