Describe the company network, interconnection, and communication environment.
Assess risk based on the GFI, Inc. network diagram scenario. Note: Your risk assessment should cover all the necessary details for your client, GFI Inc., to understand the risk factors of the organization and risk posture of the current environment. The company management will utilize this risk assessment to determine what actions to take; therefore, it must be comprehensive for the business leaders to make data-driven decisions.

Defend your assumptions where pertinent information from the scenario isn’t available.
Ascertain apparent security vulnerabilities, and analyze at least three (3) such vulnerabilities. Such analysis should entertain the possibility of faulty network design. Recommend mitigation processes and procedures for each of the identified vulnerabilities.
Justify your cryptography recommendations, based on security concerns and requirements, data-driven decision-making, and objective opinions.

Examine whether your risk assessment methodology is quantitative, qualitative, or a combination of these, and discuss the main reasons why you believe that the methodology that you utilized was the most appropriate.
Explain the way in which you would present your findings and assessment to the company’s management and thus facilitate security buy-in and concentration.
Using Microsoft Visio or its open source equivalent, redraw the CFI diagram, depicted as a secure and risk-mitigating model. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length.

Define the issue as a human rights issue according to concepts of human rights. Describe its causes, implications, and locations. Use the following questions to help you frame your explanation: In what ways has a policy caused human rights violations or been enacted because of human rights violations?

 
Based on Amnesty InternationalLinks to an external site., Human Rights WatchLinks to an external site., the UN human rights-related organizations (UNHCRLinks to an external site., United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human RightsLinks to an external site.), or another source that you verify with your instructor, choose a human rights policy issue.
Define the issue as a human rights issue according to concepts of human rights. Describe its causes, implications, and locations. Use the following questions to help you frame your explanation:
In what ways has a policy caused human rights violations or been enacted because of human rights violations?
Can you recognize conflicts around human rights policy that stem from divergent understandings of human rights, within a country, between countries, or between a country and an intergovernmental or non-governmental organization?
Consider the history, religion, and culture of the country where the issue is taking place in your examination of the human rights policy issue.
Identify the stakeholders and explain how this issue has an impact on them. Provide references to support the information.
Describe recent and current efforts aimed at solving the human rights issue, including efforts by NGOs, national governments, and IGOs. Provide supporting references.
Based on your analysis of the human rights issue and the policies you have described, provide your opinion on which policy would be appropriate. This can be one of the policies already in place or your suggestion. Support your opinion with references to appropriate resources.
Use four (two government and two peer-reviewed, scholarly) sources to support your writing. Choose sources that are credible, relevant, and appropriate. Cite each source listed on your source page at least one time within your assignment. For help with research, writing, and citation, access the library or review library guides. For this assignment, government resources may include resources from an IGO.

Summarize the target population: Use your knowledge of your community to provide context and illustrate the dynamics of the population.

Write a 2,100- to 2,800-w0rd needs assessment. Use the following sections to organize your pap3r:

Summarize the target population: Use your knowledge of your community to provide context and illustrate the dynamics of the population. You may wish to incorporate details like demographics, social structure, community culture, history, values, and even its infrastructure. 
Examples of a target population:
trauma survivors
preschool children with autism-spectrum disorders
adults in a substance-abuse treatment program
homeless individuals
client advocates
parents 
administrators
human services professionals
Describe this population?s perceived need(s).
Incorporate relevant research from your literature review in the Week 5 Needs Assessment Part 1 assignment.
If necessary, read additional articles on the topic so you are well-versed in the needs of a particular population.  
As needed, include existing data from published studies in this section of your report. 
Describe the current status of the population in your community. 
For example, if you are interested in addressing the needs of homeless people in your community, describe the services and resources currently available and accessible to this population. Many needs may already be met by existing programs and services. Describe these needs.  
You might also wish to describe the evolution of the population. What changes has this population experienced in recent years? What has remained the same? How might the population change in the future? 
Create one additional strategy for collecting information about the needs of the target population (in addition to reading literature and interviewing specialists).
For example, you may decide to administer a questionnaire or organize a focus group. Discuss your strategy in detail. If there is already a validated questionnaire that is relevant to the group you are assessing, describe it. If not, describe the type of instrument that would be useful in assessing the needs of the target population. For additional information on needs assessment strategies, conduct additional internet research.  
Create a general plan for data analysis.  
Although you will not actually collect data, determine which approach (mixed methods, survey, or action research) you would most likely use. Provide rationale for your answer.
Once you have collected data, either qualitative or quantitative, you need to analyze and interpret it. Explain how you would do this.  
Describe 1-2 potential interventions or strategies for addressing your target population?s need(s). 
Typically, the next step in a needs assessment is to analyze the data and use the results to plan appropriate interventions. Because you are only planning and not actually conducting a needs assessment, you will not have actual data to analyze and use. However, you may still anticipate the needs of a given population by reflecting on the information you have gathered
For example, if the information you gleaned from research articles and your key informant suggests that the homeless population in your community needs education on existing mental health services, you may develop a plan for helping the homeless population learn more about community mental health services currently available to them. In other words, you can devise a strategy for increasing awareness of mental health services. Keep in mind your plan will be general and tentative because you have not actually analyzed data. 

Cite a minimum of five scholarly r3ferences.

The ANA has stated, Education for those in the health-care professions must increase in depth and breadth as scientific knowledge expands” (Catalano, 2012, p.91) According to Catalano, there has been a lack of adequate preparation for educating clients with self-management concerns, particularly clients with chronic illnesses, and this lack of education is a serious violation of ethical responsibilities by health care providers. Do you agree or disagree with these statement and why?
