Data Science

DUE IN 36 HOURS The most frequently used measures of central tendency for quantitative data are the mean and the median. The following table shows civil service examination scores from 24 applicants to law enforcement jobs:83        74        85        79 82        67        78        7018        93        64        27 93        98        82        7868        82        83        99 96        62        93  58Using Excel, find the mean, standard deviation, and 5-number summary of this sample. Construct and paste a box plot depicting the 5-number summary. Does the dataset have outliers? If so, which one(s)? Would you prefer to use the mean or the median as of this dataset’s measure of central tendency? Why

Briefly respond to all the following questions. Make sure to explain and back up your responses with facts and examples. This assignment should be in APA format and have to include at least two references. Minimum of 400 words.  The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) provides a distillation of several of the most well-known sets of computer security principles; such as “Fail securely”  What “Fail securely” means and what architect solutions can support that?

The goal is to do the Literature Review chapter of a Masters/Dissertation around the topic of Data Loss/Leakage Prevention. I already have some pages done (which I can share after to ensure the document is complemented with new topics and not the same) and the goal is to improve them (optionally) and create new content (around 20 pages) around the topic of Data Loss Prevention (Computer Science). It should include at least and not limited to:  – Traditional technologies used to protect information (IPS/HIPS), Firewall, AV (to explain how they are different from DLP)  – How DLP works  – DLP Architecture  – Detection technologies (DAR, DIM, DIU)  – disk encryption to complement DLP Solutions  – data breaches  – insider threats   Being the Literature Review a key chapter in a Master Thesis, solid sources/references are key. i can also provide some material around the subject.

Topic Questions As per our textbook, Access, a relational database application, is the most widely used PC-based database management system (DBMS) software for both personal and business users. Like other database systems, the structure of the database file is of the utmost importance. For this exercise, you must demonstrate your understanding of the Access database system by describing how you would begin to create a database file with one of its tables (No templates). Your example may be a personal or business database. In addition, what are the advantages of managing database information in Access versus using an Excel spreadsheet? Thread Directions Students are required to participate in these weekly online classroom discussion threads. Students should post at least 1 post on 3 separate days in the active week’s discussion thread. Please make sure to read all topic questions, thread directions, and assignment rubric criteria to ensure that responses are accurate and complete.

How to Post: 1. First Post – Respond to the discussion topic questions listed above. Click on the Reply link listed below to make your response. Minimum word count=100 words 2. Second Post – Expand and read a classmate’s post. Click on the Reply link within your classmate’s post to make your response. Minimum word count=75 words 3. Third Post – Find and review a relevant information source over the Internet. Click on the Reply link within your first post to make your response. Minimum word count=75 words 5. List any sources you utilize at the bottom of your post (e.g. http://xxxxxx.com/. Consider practicing your citing of text resources in the academic APA format. 4.

Write an essay of at least 500 words discussing the reasons for the two new auditing roles in Oracle 12c. Why did Oracle consider them necessary? What problems do they solve? How do they benefit companies?  Do not copy without providing proper attribution. This paper will be evaluated through SafeAssign.  Write in essay format not in outline, bulleted, numbered, or another list format.   Use the five-paragraph format. Each paragraph must have at least five sentences. Include 3 quotes with quotation marks and cited in-line and in a list of references. Include an interesting meaningful title. Include at least one quote from each of 3 different articles. Use the Research Databases available from the Danforth Library, not Google.  Place the words you copied (do not alter or paraphrase the words) in quotation marks and cite in-line (as all work copied from another should be handled). The quotes should be full sentences (no more, less) and should be incorporated in your discussion (they do not replace your discussion) to illustrate or emphasize your ideas. Cite your sources in a clickable reference list at the end. Do not copy without providing proper attribution (quotation marks and in-line citations).

Submit a paper of at least four pages in length, excluding the title and reference pages, that includes at least three sources, including a minimum of two scholarly sources and the text. Explain in detail why data analysis skills are so important to Spend Analysis. Describe how a structured process such as Six Sigma methodology (Chapter 4) can be useful to identify spending patterns and identify opportunities for improvement. Recommend which functional areas of the business, such as finance, should be involved in Spend Analysis efforts and justify the rationale for your choices.

The Cloud Compromise SCENARIO: One of your organization’s internal departments frequently uses outside cloud storage to store large amounts of data, some of which may be considered sensitive. You have recently learned that the cloud storage provider that is being used has been publicly compromised and large amounts of data have been exposed. All user passwords and data stored in the cloud provider’s infrastructure may have been compromised. What is your response? Discussion questions • Does your organization have current polices that consider 3rd party cloud storage? • Should your organization still be held accountable for the data breach? • What actions and procedures would be different if this was a data breach on your own local area network? • What should management do? • What, if anything, do you tell your constituents? o How/when would you notify them?

SCENARIO: Your organization is located within a flood zone. Winter weather combined with warming temperatures has caused flooding throughout the area. Local authorities have declared a state of emergency. In the midst of managing the flooding, a ransomware attack occurs on your facility, making computer systems inoperable. What is your response? Discussion questions • Do you have a COOP (Continuity of Operations Plan) or DRP (Disaster Recovery Plan)? o If so, do you carry out an annual simulation to ensure the COOP or DRP is sufficient and running smoothly? • Do you have an Incident Response Plan (IRP) that specifically details ransomware steps? o What steps will you take if restoring from backup is not an option? o Does your IRP only take into account the financial implications of a cybersecurity incident, or does it consider the severity of the situation as well? o Do you have a plan in place for how to acquire bitcoin? o Have you considered that a targeted ransomware attack may require more bitcoin than is easily accessible on the market? • Do you have a backup for completing Emergency Operations Center (EOC) processes without a computer system? o Can you route emergency communications/processes through a neighboring entity? • Who do you need to notify, and how will you do so? o Consider that increased phone traffic may be congesting the lines.

This Assignment is helpful in developing the groundwork for understanding and integrating evidence-based practice in healthcare throughout the rest of the course. In this Assignment, you will have the chance to see how the research you look for can be applied in the work you do in your practice. Overview: You will select a topic relevant to your practice area, post the topic to Discussion Board 2 for feedback, research the topic, and write a scholarly paper. From the chapter readings and discussion, formulate a 3–5 page scholarly paper in APA format, providing an overview of the terms and function of EPB. An introduction, discussion, and conclusion is expected in the overview of this topic Directions: Formulate the question. Using the Cochrane database, research the question using the PICOT model and keywords. Post your topic and a short summary of results for feedback from your instructor and peers by Day 5. Write a 3–to 5-page paper, reviewing evidence-based practice, as it relates to your practice question and integrate feedback from the instructor and/or peers.
