Emerging threats

/in /by

Now that we have had an introduction to security protocols that will help reduce the risk of a security incident we are going to study security incidents.  Each student will select a recent security incident that had their data stolen by an outside attack, insider threat, or some other mechanism.  There are multiple examples that can be used, i.e., Target, Capital One, Home Depot, OPM, etc.  As you evaluate the incident you evaluate several components throughout the remainder of the course.  

1. select our incident

2. create a 1-page introduction of the security incident

3. Your response must be properly APA formatted with every sentence that comes from another source cited or quoted.

Assessment #1: Romania Case Study

For each of the three case studies, students will prepare an assessment of between 1100 and 1200 words of text, 1.5 spaced. Each case study should have a separate bibliography including at least 2 references, using APA format. Bibliography does not count towards word count.  Each assessment should have:

Title

Topic sentence (a single sentence or two which summarize the students understanding of the situation, the actions taken by the consulting engineer, and lessons learned)

Situation assessment (What was the factual situation on the ground? What were the main challenges? What role could, and should, the consulting engineer play?)

Lessons learned (this should include not just the lessons learned by the consulting engineer as expressed in the case study, but the lessons learned by the student looking at the case study as a whole)

The benchmark assesses the following competency:

Benchmark: 5.1. Understand the human experience across the health-illness continuum.

1. Examine the health-illness continuum and discuss why this perspective is important to consider in relation to health and the human experience when caring for patients.
2. Reflect on your overall state of health. Discuss what behaviors support or detract from your health and well-being. Explain where you currently fall on the health-illness continue.
3. Discuss the options and resources available to you to help you move toward wellness on the health-illness spectrum. Describe how these would assist in moving you toward wellness (managing a chronic disease, recovering from an illness, self-actualization, etc.).

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

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

For this Discussion, review this weeks Learning Resources including Appendices 1215 of the 2010 USDA Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Also review the Nutrition, Stress, and Your Cells handout and the Stress and Its Impact on Nutrient Processing and Absorption handout. Then, research nutritional approaches to stress management and select two that might be effective. Finally, consider any contraindications or cautions that might result in applying the approaches you selected.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 4 a brief description of two nutritional approaches you selected for stress management. Then explain why these approaches might be effective. Finally, explain any contraindications or cautions to using these two approaches and explain why. Be specific.
