Threats

Complete the Practice Lab titled “AntiVirus and NMAP Scans.”

 

Capture screenshots taken during the lab in a Microsoft® Word document as specified within the lab instructions.

 

At the end of the lab, you will be asked torespond to the following in a 2- to 2.5-page response at the end of your Microsoft® Word document: 

  • Most network breaches go undetected for weeks or even months, and an attacker usually takes steps to be much more careful than our scans were. With that in mind, write a short paragraph describing how the default Windows® firewall and security settings might contribute to this inability to detect an attacker probing from inside your network.
  • This was just a single system on a local LAN. How much more complicated would this process be for 100 computers? What about an enterprise with 10,000 computers on their LAN/WAN?
  • Consider a cloud-hosted Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) environment with many new, internet-accessible systems regularly being built and brought online. What advantages or challenges might there be protecting such systems from malware and from attack?
  • Finally, conclude this week’s assignment with a page explaining how the same types of tools demonstrated in this lab might be used by an infrastructure administrator to help secure an environment.

Data Collection

For the statistics project you are completing in this course, you will need to select a relevant topic that will allow you to gather both qualitative and quantitative data. You may gather data from a group of your choice using a data collection instrument (survey or data mining) that you design. Using the results of that collection instrument, you will create a data set, analyze the data, and create a professional report showing the results of the data that you collected.

For this assignment you will choose a topic and create a data collection instrument. When selecting a topic, remember you need to collect both quantitative and qualitative data. Data collection could be done in the form of a survey via a medium such as Survey Monkey or Facebook or through available workplace content such as sales orders. You will want to collect data from approximately 30 observations. This means you will want to survey at least 30 people or select data from 30 different sales orders.

Submit the topic of the study, a rationale (one or two paragraphs) outlining the purpose of the study, and the data collection instrument you created as a Word document. Include relevant survey links if the data is being collected digitally.

APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

You are not required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite.
