Here is a suggested outline for the Final Project. You may decide that an alternative organization schema works better for you, or that you need to emphasize certain issues and trends that you think are most important to your chosen organization.

Putting it together

It is time to put on your “creative thinking cap.” Your Final Project will require that you utilize all the information from the previous weeks, including your draft slides and your notes in your Final Project Portfolio, and apply your learning to the following situation:

You have been hired as a consultant to Walmart and you have been called in by the CEO of the organization to conduct a presentation to the upper level and mid-level managers. The CEO would like you to provide your best recommendations on what their organization can do to become more successful at effectively using and managing their information and business information systems.

Utilizing the above scenario, prepare a 10- to 12-slide final presentation (excluding title slide and reference slide). You must provide narrative and the speaker note section at the bottom of each slide so that the reader can follow along better. Your speaker notes should include your rationale and assumptions that pertain to your slide. You also need to have a minimum of 6–8 citations and references to support your direction.

Note: You may elect to include additional slides as part of an appendix if you have information you might reasonably assume that a CEO or upper management might want. It is not required that you do so.

Here is a suggested outline for the Final Project. You may decide that an alternative organization schema works better for you, or that you need to emphasize certain issues and trends that you think are most important to your chosen organization. Be prepared to make your case either way.

Identify the common targets of malware. Explain why these targets are so attractive to hackers and what they benefit from each.
Determine the best practices that should be implemented by the security department to help reduce the risks of malware introductions to the network. Propose what users and systems administrators should do when a potential infection has been suspected.
Compare and contrast viruses, worms, and Trojans, and indicate which of these you consider to be the greatest danger to computer users and / or greatest challenge for security personnel to protect against.
Use the proliferation of scareware as an example to theorize what you believe the next big challenge in malware protection could be, and determine whether or not you believe the end user population is prepared.
Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

Create a five to ten (5-10) slide PowerPoint presentation in which you:
Summarize the concepts from your written paper in Part 1 of this assignment for the employees regarding the threats of malicious software.
Use a professional technically written style to graphically convey the information.

Education Plan

[Pin It]

No matter how carefully you plan the use of technology in your classroom – and no matter how well you feel students will participate and respond – something will go awry. You must be prepared for these things. This week, prepare an analysis of, and solutions to, the possible obstacles you and your students may face when using various technology tools in your classroom. This analysis/solution information should be organized in a way that provides at-a-glance assistance when you encounter these (or similar) problems. Consider organizing your ideas in a table (as suggested below) or some other graphical format. Include the following obstacles/problems in your analysis (though add more depending on the types of tools you normally – or would like to – use, school policies, target audience, etc.). Consider sitting down with your IT or educational technology coordinator to brainstorm possible obstacles and solutions. In your analysis address:

Student misuse/abuse of the technology and/or information
Access issues (do students need to register or “sign up” to use your selected tool? How will you address student access to technology/the Internet outside of school? What is the ability of the IT infrastructure to handle multiple students accessing the Internet, etc.?)
Hardware/Software issues (devices don’t work; digital tool is malfunctioning; students can’t remember passwords, etc.)
Materials (check to see all online materials you want to use to teach your selected concept/standard are accessible at school; if they are blocked by the school’s firewall, determine why. Re-evaluate if the materials/tools you want to use violate any aspect of CIPA or your school’s tech plan. If you find that your materials/tools are in compliance, how will you secure consistent access to them in your classroom?)
Support – who can you contact if you experience technical difficulties or student misbehavior with the technology tool(s)?

Title and references slides

Explanation of each strategy in your own words

Classroom arrangements that are best for each engagement strategy

Slide notes explaining how you would implement each strategy in your future classroom.

Your “Student Engagement Strategies” will be part of your Personal Classroom Management Plan

Ensure it is well-written, organized and adheres to APA Requirements.

Determine the best practices that should be implemented by the security department to help reduce the risks of malware introductions to the network.

For this assignment, you will continue to work on the security report for ABC, Inc. that you worked on in Weeks 1–3.In this week’s assignment, you will consider event logging, antivirus software, and fault tolerance as well as the steps needed to verify the security recommendations you made in prior weeks and the current week.

Using your project report from W3 Assignment 2, complete the following tasks by adding 2- to 3-pages to the report:

Modify the plan created in W3 Assignment 2 to accommodate suggestions and recommendations from your instructor and your own changes based on the readings and activities for this week. Color code your changes to the report so that they are easy to identify.
Recommend a mechanism that will record event data on the folders for each department. What events should be logged and how often do these logs need to be reviewed?
Recommend an implementation for antivirus software. Suggest a product (or products) for the organization and explain your reason for choosing that product.
Recommend a mechanism for monitoring security alerts on the server. What types of events need to be monitored and how often do the security logs need to be reviewed by a human being as opposed to an automated process? Explain your answer.
Describe the implementation process and timeline for your recommendations. Try to give as reasonable a timeline as possible and explain your plan.
Expand the section of your report for verifying the implementation of the security recommendations for this week. Identify what is being tested for each verification activity. This should include testing activities to make sure the security system is working properly. An example of this would be using an intentionally incorrect password to make sure the system does not allow the login.
