  1. Assignment 2: Implementing Network and Personnel Security Measures 

    Due Week 8 and worth 100 points

    The security consulting firm that you work for has been awarded a contract to implement a new IT Security Infrastructure to secure the Information Technology data assets of a local government agency.  This agency has many remote workers that are in the field and need to connect back to the agency’s system servers. The remote workers use a wireless network infrastructure to connect their electronic pads to servers located within the local government’s facility. The remote workers have needs to access property records, cite zoning violations electronically, and validate building permits. The public demand to expand IT services has grown faster than its ability to provide an adequately secured infrastructure. In fact, this government entity was previously featured on the news for having minimal security controls and methods for accessing property tax information of citizens. The inadequate security allowed many construction trade businesses to illegally access property records and zoning violations. Your role in this project is to enhance and optimize the security mechanisms for accessing these systems.

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

    1. Create an information flow diagram, using Visio or Dia, which:
         a. Illustrates how remote users will securely connect to the government agency’s network.  
         b. Illustrates the patch of network devices that data packets must travel to get from server to remote user’s device and back to 
             server.
             Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length.

    2. Provide an equipment list of network security devices that would be needed to ensure the integrity and sensitivity of private     information. In this list:
        a. Propose at least two (2) vendor brands per each device and the associate costs required to procure these items.
        b. Identify the functionality each device serves and the expected benefits the government agency should experience upon the         successful installation of this equipment.

    3. Develop a maintenance plan that should be recommended to the government agency to ensure having the latest security measures    available within the network in which you:
        a. Describe the risks associated with not fulfilling the activities outlined within your maintenance plan.
        b. Indicate specific activities, personnel / resources required, and frequency of execution.

    4. Recommend at least four (4) physical security measures that could be developed to ensure the electronic perimeter of electronic     assets.

    5. Recommend at least two (2) physical security vendors that could achieve the four (4) security measures you identified. Justify your
        recommendations with your response.

    6. Evaluate and consider activities that the Human Resources Department could perform in order to complement and instill security     from within the organization. Provide a rationale with your response.

    7. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality     resources. 

    Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

    • Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
    • Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
    • Include charts or diagrams created in Visio or one of its equivalents such as Dia. The completed diagrams / charts must be imported into the Word document before the paper is submitted.
    • The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:
    • Describe and apply the 14 areas of common practice in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Essential Body of Knowledge.
    • Describe best practices in cybersecurity.
    • Describe system, application, network, and telecommunications security policies and response.
    • Evaluate the ethical concerns inherent in cybersecurity and how these concerns affect organizational policies.
    • Use technology and information resources to research issues in cybersecurity.
    • Write clearly and concisely about topics associated with cybersecurity using proper writing mechanics and technical style conventions.

The company’s policies have tended to reward seniority rather than performance, and because of the job evaluation system, compensation is tightly compressed. Benefits are thought to be generous in that the company pays for most of the cost. However, the structure of the benefits is rigid and only includes such traditional benefits as health insurance, life insurance, and a 401(k) plan. The company recognizes that things are changing in its business environment, the needs of its people are changing, and business is more global than in the past. As part of the ongoing analysis of trends that should influence the redesign of HRM in the company, what are the relevant trends in compensation and benefits to which the company should pay the most attention to develop the kind of employees it needs and retain its most valuable performers?

Head-to-Toe Assessment

For this assignment, perform a complete head-to-toe assessment on someone of your choice or a hypothetical person who has at least two (2) systems issues. Use the head-to-toe template here to document your assessment (add more lines as needed). In a Microsoft Word document of 4-5 pages (in addition to the template) formatted in APA style, discuss the remaining criteria for the assignment. Please note that the title and reference pages should not be included in the total page count of your paper.

In your paper, address each of the following criteria:

  • Use the template and include:
    • System being assessed.
    • Detailed review of each system with normal and abnormal findings.
    • For any system for which you do not have equipment, explain how you would do the assessment.
    • Normal laboratory findings for client age.
  • An analysis of age-specific risk reduction health screening and immunizations.
  • Two differential diagnoses (diseases) associated with possible abnormal findings.
  • A plan of care (including two priority-nursing diagnoses, interventions, evaluation).
  • Pharmacological treatments that can be used to address health issues for this client.
  • Client and age appropriate evidenced-based practice strategies for health promotion.

On a separate references page, cite all sources using APA format. Helpful APA guides and resources are available in the South University Online Library. Below are guides that are located in the library and can be accessed and downloaded via the South University Online Citation Resources: APA Style page.

background question (UTI)

/in /by

Post your background question and your strategy for getting a comprehensive understanding of the clinical issue. Your background question will lead you to your foreground or PICOT question–so it is an important piece of the project!

Your background question should answer the who, what, when, where, how and why.  With a clinical question you will include the definition, epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis and conclusion.  As an example, when I am thinking of background questions that I would like to answer for my topic of depression I would ask:  

1.  How is depression defined and how is it diagnosed in primary care?

2.  What population is at the most risk for depression?

3.  What are some of the causes of depression?

4. How is depression identified and treated?

Supporting one—Challenging one.

By the end of the week comment on the responses of at least two other students by supporting a minimum of one post and challenging a minimum of one post.  You will want to focus on their point of view, asking pertinent questions, adding to the responses by including information from other sources, and respectfully challenging a point of view, supported by references to other sources. Be objective, clear, and concise. Always use constructive language. All comments should be posted to the appropriate topic in this Discussion Area. Please only start a new thread with your original post. Hit reply to respond to a peer.

It is important to support what you say with relevant citations in the APA format from both the course materials and outside resources. Include the South University online library in your research activities utilizing not only the nursing resource database, but also those pertaining to education, business, and human resources.
