Report on Organizational Security Threats and Vulnerabilities

Prepare a detailed written report discussing the potential security threats and vulnerabilities of a fictitious organization, Adventure Scuba and Diving Institute (ASDI).

See the Specification section for more details on assignment submission requirements.

Scenario:

Adventure Scuba and Diving Institute (ASDI) is located in the United States and offers training and certification programs for scuba and deep-sea diving. ASDI is a premier training school in the area of diving and scuba and has developed a wealth of proprietary training resources, videos, guides and manuals. The school suspects that competitors have tried to breach the organization’s computer systems to gain access to these training materials.

ASDI’s network is comprised of two web servers, two file servers, one email server, 50 employee workstations, and a 50-workstation student computer lab. The school also has public and private Wi-Fi availability throughout the campus.

Your firm has been hired as the IT security analyst to review, evaluate, and make recommendations with respect to maintenance of security of the organization’s computer and network systems. You have been charged by your supervisor to prepare a preliminary report documenting the most critical security threats that ASDI faces. Your supervisor has given you the following resources that might be useful in your research and analysis:

An article on the Help Net Security website (Links to an external site.)
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposure (CVE) database search (Links to an external site.)
Security organizations, such as Secunia (Links to an external site.)
Your supervisor has asked you to consider and account for the following questions as you shortlist the threats and prepare your report:

What threats are new this year and which have become more prevalent?
Why are these threats more common and why are they important?
What threats remain constant from year to year? Why?
What threats do you believe will become more critical in the next 12 months? Why?
Has an exploit been released?
What is the likelihood of an exploit?
How widely used is the software or system?

To Kill a Mockingbird

Narrative Test
Objective: Retell a scene from a different person’s point of view. Write creatively and accurately to express details from the given scene and expressions consistent with your character’s personality.

SELECT ONE:. Use your notes and re-read content as needed.
● Scout’s first day at school – Ch. 2 (and beg. 3)
● Walter eats at the Finch house -Ch 2
● Jem loses (and finds) his pants -Ch 6 (and beg. 7)
● Knothole gets filled with cement – Ch. 7
● Miss Maudie’s house fire – Ch. 8
● Atticus shoots Tim Johnson – Ch.10
● Jem reads to Mrs. DeBose -Ch. 11
● Calpernia takes the children to church. -Ch.12

Character: When selecting your character, make sure to determine who else is there and/or who would have heard about the event.

● Do not pick SCOUT. Choose a meaningful character.
● Make sure that what you write is consistent with the plot and with the character’s point of view you have assumed; this includes
○ The“dialect” or voice of the character.
○ Their feelings or emotional responses to the action/events.
○ Their opinions and beliefs.

TIP: Zoom in on specific moments from the selected scene to feature in your narrative. Skip or cut superfluous information. Reread and use your notes.

Criteria:
● 2-3 pages MLA formatted (1.5 or double spacing)
● 1st Person Point of view is consistent with the character
● Dialect of character is captured; language is appropriate to the voice, vocabulary, and grammatical conventions of the character
● Plot events are discussed accurately
● Organization of the narrative is clear and focused; paragraphs have a chronological beginning, middle, and end consistent with the novel.
● GUMS: Minimal grammatical, mechanical, and spelling errors Requirements:Narrative title MUST be your character’s name and the scene you are rewriting. EX: Chapter 2 School from Burris Ewell’s Point of View

Helpful Hints:
● Do not make up events that did not occur in the text.
● Be descriptive and use dialogue carefully.
○ You may reenact conversations among characters either by narrative (telling what was said), or by CITING those specific conversations, if your character was present to hear them. If you directly quote the dialogue, please cite the page
number.
● AVOID TOO MUCH PLOT SUMMARY: Lean into the emotional responses of your character. Really get into his/her mind regarding how he/she views others. This requires your inference based on your knowledge of the text and the character. This is where you CAN elaborate creatively.
○ For example, if writing from Atticus’ POV when he shoots Tim Johnson, you can certainly include what he is thinking, feeling, etc. Or, if you assume Burris Ewell’s character, you should include what he is thinking or feeling when he
confronts Ms. Fisher.
● Retelling Chapter 10 from Tim Johnson’s point of view is a bad idea.

NARRATIVE PREWRITING
After you have selected your scene and your character, think about the following details to help you have a full understanding of your character.

Personality: Consider his/her emotional state throughout the scene.

Beliefs: What do you think your character’s ideologies are? What are his/her opinions about the other characters?

Speech: Find examples of dialect and break each down for its use of diction, syntax, tone, etc.

Are certain words or expressions unique to that particular character?

Actions: Write down specific things your character does during these chapters.

Plot: Write down a few key plot events that your character witnesses during these chapters and how he/she might respond in his/her thoughts.
