Deliverables
Scenario
You work for a high-tech company pproximately 390 employees. Your firm recently won a large DoD contract, which will add 30% to the revenue of your organization. It is a high-priority, high-visibility project. You will be allowed to make your own budget, project timeline, and tollgate decisions.
This course project will require you to form a team of 2 to 3 coworkers (fellow students) and develop the proper DoD security policies required to meet DoD standards for delivery of technology services to the U.S. Air Force Cyber Security Center (AFCSC), a DoD agency. To do this, you must develop DoD-approved policies and standards for your IT infrastructure (see the ?Tasks? section below). The policies you create must pass DoD-based requirements. Currently, your organization does not have any DoD contracts and thus has no DoD-compliant security policies or controls in place.
Your firm’s computing environment includes the following:
12 servers running Microsoft Server 2012 R2, providing the following:
Active Directory (AD)
Domain Name System (DNS)
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) application (Oracle)
A Research and Development (R&D) Engineering network segment for testing, separate from the production environment
Microsoft Exchange Server for e-mail
Symantec e-mail filter
Websense for Internet use
Two Linux servers running Apache Server to host your Web site
390 PCs/laptops running Microsoft Windows 7 or Windows 8, Microsoft Office 2013, Microsoft Visio, Microsoft Project, and Adobe Reader
Tasks
You should:
Create policies that are DoD compliant for the organization?s IT infrastructure.
Develop a list of compliance laws required for DoD contracts.
List controls placed on domains in the IT infrastructure.
List required standards for all devices, categorized by IT domain.
Develop a deployment plan for implementation of these polices, standards, and controls.
List all applicable DoD frameworks in the final delivery document.
Write a professional report that includes all of the above content-related items.
Submission Requirements
Format: Microsoft Word
Citation Style: APA
Length: 5 pages
Q2.) Cryptography Discussionÿ
Write 500 words that respond to the following questions:ÿÿ
Read the (Yahoo Data Leak Article from csoonline.com) online article at https://www.csoonline.com/article/3123496/security/yahoo-s-compromised-records-likely-hidden-within-encrypted-traffic-vendor-says.htmlÿ
Write a 400-600 words summary about what did you understand from it.
Please note:
Be in APA format including your references.
Be 500 words long (not including title and references).
Do not re-state the questions.
Include two sources (i.e. two references).
Q3.) Operation Security Discussion ÿ
Assignment Requirements
Participate in a discussion on the importance of separation of duties for personnel. Discuss examples of roles you would separate and why. For example, an administrator has full administrative server login access, and a network technician has limited administrative access but can view system login details. Payroll has access to employee financial records, but only payroll managers can approve raises.
Each response to another must be at least 175 words in length.
If asked to post your opinion or reaction/reflection as part of an initial discussion post, you must still incorporate reference support. While opinions and reactions are personal and subjective in nature, they need references and citations for support. This approach reflects knowledge acquisition as well as application and synthesis of content. In other words, always support your work with resources. This is also applies to article reviews and/or reflection exercises?you still must have at least two references?.one of which will always be your textbook.

(Peer response)
1. ÿDescribe what these scores mean.
Internal consistency reliability coefficient of .92 means that excellent reliability and it is an acceptable test to give. Our textbook defines reliability as, ?the proportion of the total variance attributed to true variance? (Cohen & Swerdlik, 2018 p. 142). Without reliability tests lack consistency therefore they become less useful because they also lack validity (Drummond & Jones, 2006).Tests are considered reliability if they produce the same results each time the test is used. Alternate forms of reliability coefficient .82 means the test is still reliable because the score is considered high, however, the test is not as reliable as the test with the internal consistency reliability coefficient .92 (Cohen & Swerdlik, 2018). Lastly, test-retest reliability coefficient .50 tests the average of the two scores of the test that were given and that is considered a low score.
2. ÿSynthesize all of these interpretations into a final evaluation about this test utility or usefulness & Synthesize all of these interpretations into a final evaluation about this test’s utility or usefulness.
The internal consistency reliability coefficient .92 means 92 % of the time this test produces accurate results, that leaves only a chance for error 8% of the time. The alternate forms reliability coefficient .82 means that 82% of the time this test produces accurate results, that score is still high enough for reliability however, not as high as the internal consistency reliability coefficient. Lastly, the test-retest reliability coefficient .50 means that 50% of the time this test produces accurate results, which is the least reliability of the 3 test types (Cohen & Swerdlik, 2018). All and all, each of these tests would be useful however, in my field of Applied Behavior Analysis I find the test-retest score to be most interesting because I would like to see growth and this test is given in two separate parts. Test 1 and then later, Test 2, allowing to see improvement in the test participate. It sounds as thought test-retest is made to show growth, and that is what we shrive for in my field.
3. ÿExplain whether these data are acceptable
Internal consistency reliability coefficient .92 alternate forms reliability coefficient .82 is an extremely reliable data point, however. The test-retest .50 is less reliable (Cohen & Swerdlik, 2018).
4. ÿExplain under what conditions they may not be acceptable and under what conditions, if any, they may be appropriate.
Test-retest reliability coefficient may not always be the best test to use because it shows change over time and sometimes that is not what we need. Alternate forms reliability coefficient may not be appropriate sometimes because it becomes difficult to develop two equivalent tests to administer. Lastly, internal consistency reliability coefficient is only good in instances where the test is homogenous, if the test is not the data may not be acceptable (Drummond & Jones, 2006).
ÿIn a 2 ? 3 page APA-formatted paper, address the following:
Provide a description of at least two factors outside an individual?s control that could result in a perceived crisis and explain how that perception might affect propensity toward addiction.
Describe a model of crisis intervention that might be most effective in addressing these factors and explain why.
Explain why that model might be more successful than other models.
