Computer/ Internet Security Policy

/in /by

 

You have been hired as the CSO (Chief Security Officer) for an organization. Your job is to develop a very brief computer and internet security policy for the organization that covers the following areas:

  • Computer and email acceptable use policy
  • Internet acceptable use policy

Make sure you are sufficiently specific in addressing each area. There are plenty of security policy and guideline templates available online for you to use as a reference or for guidance. Your plan should reflect the business model and corporate culture of a specific organization that you select. 

 Include at least 3 scholarly references in addition to the course textbook.  At least two of the references cited need to be peer-reviewed scholarly journal articles from the library.

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

Be approximately 2-4 pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.

Follow APA6 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.

Support your answers with the readings from the course and at least three scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook.

Be clearly and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing.

Forensic Read/Write Blocker?

/in /by

  

Scenario

Your new manager comes to you and asks you that he keeps hearing about read/write blockers for forensic imaging. He’s not sure what that is. He also is confused because he’s heard that there’s two different types (software and hardware). Also, there’s commercial and open source tools. He knows you just took a course in digital forensics, so he asks you to prepare a memo for him explaining all that.

Your assignment

1. Research on what is a forensic read/write blocker and what is the difference between a hardware and a software version?

2. Research on what tools are available e.g. commercial (you buy) or open-source (free) and what types are available.

3. Identify some situations where it makes sense to use the hardware versions or when it makes sense to use software versions?

4. Put it all together and summarize it for your manager! No more than 2 pages please.

What this teaches you

Being familiar with what tools the investigator used will help you. You gain credibility by asking what hardware or software tools they used, how they deployed it and why they went with a hardware or software version. 

Library and Literacy Reflection Paper

/in /by

ILO 2: Innovation and Creativity: Construct a novel or unique idea, question, format, or product.
ILO 3: Civic Engagement: Describe insights gained from engaging physically and/or intellectually with activities of personal and public concern that are both individually life enriching and socially beneficial to the community.

The Library and Literacy Reflection Paper offers students the opportunity to reflect upon the purposes of libraries in nurturing literacy.

This 6-8 page paper (not including title or reference pages) should be formatted in APA format, and include a title page, in-text citations, and a reference page.

Section 1: Rationale for Library CreationReferring back to the library that you created in your Piktochart, write 3-4 pages describing the rationale for your designs.

Briefly describe the choices you made for the library, but more importantly, focus on the WHY and HOW.
Why did you design the library as you did? What purpose do your design elements serve?
How is this library different from the libraries you have visited?
How is this library designed to meet the needs of all people, including those from diverse backgrounds (cultural, linguistic, and physical abilities)? Provide examples of how this would work.
In addition to the rationale for design, connect your library design to child development (How does the library design meet the needs of both a childs physical, socioemotional and cognitive development?)
How does your library design focus on what children need (at every age) in order to feel welcomed and nurtured in a library environment?
What 3 things did you learn, or insights did you gain, from thinking about and designing your library?

Section 2: Developing LiteracyOne of the most important roles of teachers and those who work with children is to encourage and nurture literacy. Frederick Douglass said, Once you learn to read, you will be forever free. Encouraging and nurturing literacy, however, is easier said than done. 
In 3-4 pages, reflect upon how your library will encourage and nurture literacy in your visitors. Address the following prompts:
What role does the library play in encouraging and nurturing literacy in our communities?
What are the roles of teachers, parents, librarians and community members in encouraging and nurturing literacy? Discuss the roles of each stakeholder, then address what will/could YOU do to encourage literacy in your family, school, and community? What programs (i.e. picture book read-alouds) and support services (i.e. tutoring to build literacy skills) will your library offer to nurture and encourage young readers, and those who work with them?  Why is it important to offer these programs and support services?What research supports your ideas, particularly concerning the importance of literacy, the roles of teachers, classrooms, and libraries in terms of community literacy support, as well as best practices in providing support for literacy activities?

Interaction Between Nurse Informaticists And Other Specialists

/in /by

 

Nature offers many examples of specialization and collaboration. Ant colonies and bee hives are but two examples of natures sophisticated organizations. Each thrives because their members specialize by tasks, divide labor, and collaborate to ensure food, safety, and general well-being of the colony or hive.

Of course, humans dont fare too badly in this regard either. And healthcare is a great example. As specialists in the collection, access, and application of data, nurse informaticists collaborate with specialists on a regular basis to ensure that appropriate data is available to make decisions and take actions to ensure the general well-being of patients.

In this Discussion, you will reflect on your own observations of and/or experiences with informaticist collaboration. You will also propose strategies for how these collaborative experiences might be improved.

To Prepare:

  • Review the Resources and reflect on the evolution of nursing informatics from a science to a nursing specialty.
  • Consider your experiences with nurse Informaticists or technology specialists within your healthcare organization.

Post a description of experiences or observations about how nurse informaticists and/or data or technology specialists interact with other professionals within your healthcare organization. Suggest at least one strategy on how these interactions might be improved. Be specific and provide examples. Then, explain the impact you believe the continued evolution of nursing informatics as a specialty and/or the continued emergence of new technologies might have on professional interactions.
