Your boss wants you to draft a two- to three-page vulnerability process and assessment memorandum addressing the main points of a VM process for Mercury USA. You will cover the main elements of a vulnerability management process, tailored to Mercury USA’s business in the transportation sector, evaluate the OpenVAS scanning tool, and provide recommendations for mitigating the vulnerabilities found within the OpenVAS report. The third-party pen tester used the free tool Open Vulnerability Assessment Scanner (OpenVAS) to scan Mercury USA’s network. Review the report from the OpenVAS Scan. As you review the scan, consider some important points from Lesson 5.6, Remediation: Priority Difficulty of implementation Communication/change control Inhibitors to remediation MOUs SLAs Business process interruption Degrading functionality How Will My Work Be Evaluated? An important part of your duties as a cybersecurity analyst will involve analyzing data from multiple sources and sensors such as antivirus/antimalware scanners, firewalls, insider threat monitoring systems, intrusion detection/prevention systems, SIEMs, vulnerability scanners, web application scanners, and other tools. You will also process logs from applications, auditing, network infrastructure devices, internet of things (IoT) devices, mobile communications devices, printers, servers, security appliances, and generalized logging collectors like syslog and Windows Event Logs. As a cybersecurity analyst, you will be considered the subject matter and technical expert. A large part of your work will focus on identifying, analyzing, and mitigating vulnerabilities. For this assignment, you are asked to provide your supervisor with a technical evaluation of the organization’s vulnerabilities and propose a vulnerability management process. By summarizing your results in a short memorandum, you are showing how you use your technical knowledge to convey your ideas to others in a professional setting. Your ability to express your findings using the right mix of technical detail in a business context using an accepted format is an important workplace skill. The following evaluation criteria aligned to the competencies will be used to grade your assignment: 1.1.1: Articulate the main idea and purpose of a communication. 1.3.1: Identify potential sources of information that can be used to develop and support ideas. 1.4.1: Produce grammatically correct material in standard academic English that supports the communication. 10.1.1: Identify the problem to be solved. 10.1.2: Gather project requirements to meet stakeholder needs. 12.1.2: Formulate policies, processes, and procedures based upon identified business needs. 12.2.1: Identify systems for the risk assessment. You will use this report to write a two- to three-page memorandum for your manager, Judy. Follow the instructions in the VM Process Overview Template to record your work.

You will investigate technical problems of operating systems, and provide a written report. Your research should focus on an in-depth topic about theories, algorithms, approaches, mechanisms, or implementation of one of the following fields of operating systems: process management process and thread CPU scheduling synchronization deadlock handling storage management main memory virtual memory file systems mass-storage and I/O protection and security distributed, real-time, and multimedia systems Your topic could come from a sub-problem of cutting-edge research problems discussed in the literature (i.e., investigating a technical problem). Please Pick one of your most confidence topic from the topics section and write a Proposal. To ensure that your topic has adequate depth and coverage, you MUST write a one-page proposal that outlines your area of interest and associated references you will use.  Research Paper Your investigation will be based on recent publications (i.e., published in the past five years) such as journal/conference papers and technical documents, and the applicable software packages (open source preferred). You are encouraged to read some papers about new techniques in operating systems.  SOSP: ACM Symposium on Operating Systems Principles (ACM) ACM SIGOPS Operating Systems Review (ACM) ACM Transactions on Computer Systems (ACM) IEEE Transactions on Computers (IEEE) ACM Computing Surveys (ACM) Communications of the ACM (ACM) IEEE Computer. . . (IEEE) Linux Journal (ACM) Once you have chosen your topic, you need to identify meaningful, feasible outcomes for your research on the topic. Overall, the outcomes should interest and benefit the professional community of operating system research and development. Some possible outcomes: analysis, findings, and discovery of problems. results of your tests, surveys, and comparative analysis. proposals for new or improved methods, algorithms, etc. meaningful implementation plans. insight on future directions. Present the outcomes of your research in a 10- to 15-page paper written in a journal or conference paper format. References should be cited using APA or IEEE Style. Your paper should include the following sections: Title Abstract: no more than 300 words. Introduction/background: motivation for research and introduction to the outcomes, including a literature review and reference citations. Methods: describe the problem and the methods you used to explore or address the problem. Results and findings: research results or exploration findings, including theoretical analysis and any experimental and implementation results you accomplished based on your methods. Related work: summarize related work by others; compare your methods and results with others’ work. Cite your references. Conclusion and future work: conclude your exploration and research, and suggest possible future work on the topic.

In this assignment, you need to create a Software Design Specification (SDS) document based on the first three phases of this project. Once your SDS is completed your team should be able to move on to system implementation using your designs as a blueprint. To assist you with completing this document, please examine the following example: https://www.slideshare.net/RaviYasas/example-for-sds-document-in-software-engineering Write a Software Design Specification document in which you: 1. Summarize the main points for the first three phases of this project. 2. Create all of the required diagrams from Phase 2 and 3 and fill in any gaps that may have been identified as you have progressed through this course. 3. Demonstrate in your SDS a thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in this course by providing new thoughts and insights related to the previous phases. 4. Use at least four quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar websites do not qualify as quality resources

Question 1 Read the following example relations carefully and using SQL statements answer the questions that follow: Example Relations LSBU Travel Agents Customer (cust_num, cust_name, dob) Flight (flight_num, from_airport, to_airport, flight_datetime, cost) Reservation (cust_num*, flight_num*, res_datetime, agent_num*) Travel_Agent (agent_num, agent _name, city) NOTE:Primary Keys are indicated by bold underlined text. Foreign Keys are indicated by italic text followed by an asterisk*. Within CUSTOMER dob is Date Of Birth (a) Write SQL statements to create the table structures for each of the relations in the example. Choose appropriate data types and ensure that you enforce key constraints and business rules within the appropriate creation statements.
