I’m studying for my Cyber Security class and don’t understand how to answer this. Can you help me study?

Compare and contrast two difference cloud computing services (Amazon Web Service and Microsoft Azure). Explain the differences and the similarities and select your choice of providers if you had to make the decision for your business. Write up a comparison on the services offered (2 pages maximum)

develop a scenario that presents an ethical dilemma in an information security setting. This is an opportunity for you to develop a scenario that will stimulate a discussion on different approaches to privacy and ethical problems. The scenario you create should be realistic but unique, and it’s okay to think outside the box.

Follow these guidelines to make your scenario engaging and meaningful:

The scenario should be plausible. Focus on typical events rather than relatively rare occurrences or unrealistic characters.

– Provide enough background to indicate how the situation and policies could influence outcomes, but leave enough ambiguity so that participants must interpret unknown factors that might influence their approach.

– Provide a clear question or decision for participants to address.

– An example scenario is shown below. Do not use this as your initial post.

Your IT administrator tasks the members of your department with performing the yearly ethical hacking audit for the company. During last year’s exercise, one of the IT engineers went outside the scope of the ethical hacking contract and accessed HR files. This was deemed a deliberate violation of the plan, and the employee was fired. However, the vulnerability to access the records was included in the ethical hacking audit report. Knowing that this vulnerability existed last year, how would you proceed in this year’s audit?

Need help with my Cyber Security question – I’m studying for my class.

Imagine you work for an IT department that has weekly IT roundtables. This week you will lead one of the conversations about cloud security.

Select one of the following types of security that can be included in the cloud:

• Layering
• Least privilege
• Separation of duty

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:

• Explain the following about your selected security type:
• A short summary about what you found to be the usage of the security type in business
• Circumstances in which the security type would be appropriate
• Circumstances that would indicate the security type would not be appropriate
• High-level steps to implement the security type

Cloud Security Standards & Cloud Service Provider

Compliance with the U.S. Federal Government Assignment Objectives

Examine US Federal security requirements for US Government cloud computing adoption. Evaluate the security policies and practices against the US security requirements of two of the top US cloud computing service providers.

Specific Instruction

1. Read the referenced document published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) entitled as ‘Challenging Security Requirements for US Government Cloud Computing Adoption’, with a particular focus on the section entitled as Technically Oriented Security Requirements.
2. Select any two of the following cloud service providers who were recently rated in the top 10 cloud computing vendors.
   • Microsoft Azure
   • Amazon Web Services
   • Salesforce
   • IBM Cloud
   • Google Cloud
3. Utilizing the guidance provided by the NIST document, evaluate the compliance (i.e., High, Medium, or Low) of cloud service providers’ security policies and practices against the requirements listed in the referenced NIST document beginning on page 36 in the section entitled as Technically Oriented Security Requirements.
4. Write a report providing the following.a. Description of each cloud service vendor’s product offerings (i.e., public, private, hybrid, value-added features, etc.)b. Create a security requirement compliance matrix for each of the NIST cloud security requirements. Describe the vendor’s specific cloud security policy and practice in response to each specific NIST cloud security requirement. Provide commentary on your assessed rating of the vendor’s compliance with the NIST requirement.c. Complete the report with a summary of findings and conclusions regarding the vendor’s compliance with the federal standard.d. Ensure that your written report adheres to the guidance listed in the assignment’s Grading Rubric.

Supplemental Material:

• NIST document: Challenging Security Requirements for US Government Cloud Computing Adoption

Directions are written on the pdf. I need to create an expenses interface. It should take no more than three to four hours. I would appreciate any help that I can get. Thank you 🙂

Briefly, summarize and critique the following recent paper on search data structures for big data: Wen, J., Liu, Y., Shi, Y. et al. A classification model for lncRNA and mRNA based on k-mers and a convolutional neural network. BMC Bioinformatics 20, 469 (2019). https://doi.org/10.1186/s12859-019-3039-3

NoteAA: A paper critique should contain info on the main contributions, the strengths, and weaknesses of the paper, and your own ideas for improving the paper or for solving the problem being addressed. 

Part one:

Your task:

A list of networking devices has been to you for your approval or disapproval. Based of the given business requirements, for each of the networking devices, you shall either approve or disapprove it to be used in building a network to support the business operations/requirements.

Hints:

• • You disapproved a device for an incorrect reason.
  • You approved a device that will put Ava’s business at risks – You did not fully understand the device that you approved or you did not fully understand Ava’s business requirements.
  • You disapproved a device without providing your reason(s).
  • You included at least one incorrect statement in your solution; for example, 1 day has 36 hours or the Internet is the same as the World Wide Web.

• All networking devices are subject to security vulnerability and risks.
• If a device can satisfy the requirements, it cannot be disapproved, regardless its capability, performance, intelligence, or cost.
• You are NOT asked to provide definitions nor capabilities of these devices, because you are required to fully understand these devices; otherwise, your decision cannot be right.
• You are NOT asked to make a selection or recommendation, because making a selection or recommendation concerns the cost. There is no mention of “cost” in the requirements.
• There is no mention of “performance” nor “traffic” in the requirements. If your solution talks about performance or efficiency, your solution is incorrect.
• No partial credits can be awarded. Why? If you made incorrect decisions, the new network will FAIL to satisfy the business and will put the business at risks. You may be asked to pay back the business loss. You will be fired. Yet, you would still ask for partial credits??!!
• A reason is a fact and is not an opinion. For example, “….not flexible…”, “…poor performance…”, “…more expensive….” are opinions.
• There is only one correct solution. — This is NOT same as “one device”.
• Your solution is incorrect, if:

Part 2:

Your task:

In a job interview, a real-word scenario related to PCI DSS compliance and regulations is presented to you. You are asked to given an explanation to demonstrate your knowledge in PCI DSS relevant to computer networks used in the given business environment.

Hints:

• It is job interview question — Your answer should be as short as one sentence to four sentences.
• PCI DSS Requirement #9 is NOT about “Physical Security”.
  • “Physical Access” is NOT the same as “Physical Security”.
  • If you talked about physical security, your solution is incorrect.
  • If you talked about security cameras, sign-in logs, access records…., your solution is incorrect.
• If you talked about “no security measures”, your solution is incorrect. What do you mean by “no security measures” and how can you tell from the diagram that there are no security measures?
• You must fully understand PCI DSS Requirement #9 before working on this assignment.
• If you fully understand PCI DSS Requirement #9, you will know the solution.
• HW#4 does not ask you to provide the definition and does not ask you to explain what PCI DSS Requirement #9 is.

I’m working on a computer science question and need support to help me learn.

After reviewing the readings, search the internet for more
information related to the safety aspects of home use of medical
devices. Choose
one specific medical device and create a list of of FAQs (Frequently
Asked Questions) for a person who will be receiving care in the home
with this device. Use the FDA recommendations.

For example: The FDA has a website that prepares home users for safe use of medical devices during a power outage:
