What technology or technologies could you use to log internet endpoints and bandwidth consumption between clients and servers on a local network? What would you do if you did not have the resources to capture and store all network packets?
Question 1:Monitoring Outputs – The primary response includes all three partsPart 1: What technology or technologies could you use to log internet endpoints and bandwidth consumption between clients and servers on a local network? What would you do if you did not have the resources to capture and store all network packets? Part 2: You are investigating a data exfiltration event and have obtained the web server logs of the host that data was exported to over the Internet from the hosting provider. The logs contain only the external IP address of your company’s router/firewall and a high-level TCP port number. How can you use the log to identify the local host on your network that was used to perform the exfiltration?Part 3: Go to the Search bar at the left bottom corner of your computer. Type in Event Viewer (Local). Click on the app provided in the search. Open the Event Viewer and expand the Windows Logs section. Review the application and Security event logs. What do you notice? Share in the discussion post what you located and why it is important to review those specific logs on a regular basis. In your responses to other students, select one of the three parts they have addressed and engage with them in a discussion about their specific response. Question 2:There are many iterations of host-based and endpoint protection mechanisms on the market. Research three tools available on the market to help with security solutions for your current business or organization. Why would you choose those particular tools? You suspect that a host is infected with malware but cannot identify a suspect process using locally installed tools. What else is available on the market that would help you identify the malware and remove it from your network? Why would you choose that particular product?

Key Assignment Part 1
The board of directors at AGC needs a status update on your change management project.How did you measure the effectiveness of your change management plan? What were the effects on the employees and the organizations market performance?
Shawn asks you to write an executive report for John and the board of directors about the change management process and the progress being made toward resolving the global human capital management problems at AGC. This report will be shared at an upcoming investor meeting. Because the future success of AGC depends on achieving its human capital management goals, the board of directors wants to ensure that investors understand that it has changed its strategy to align human capital goals with its organizational goals.
Diagnosis: A summary of AGCs problems, how they were diagnosed, and your conclusions regarding the root causes.
Intervention: A description of human capital management strategies that you recommended to create change at AGC and how they were implemented.
Evaluation: How did you measure the effectiveness of your change management plan? What were the effects on the employees and the organizations market performance?

Madison Manufacturing is considering a new machine that costs $350,000 and would reduce pre-tax manufacturing costs by $110,000 annually. Madison would use the 3-year MACRS method to depreciate the machine, and management thinks the machine would have a value of $33,000 at the end of its 5-year operating life. The applicable depreciation rates are 33.33%, 44.45%, 14.81%, and 7.42%, as discussed in Appendix 11A. Working capital would increase by $35,000 initially, but it would be recovered at the end of the project’s 5-year life. Madison’s marginal tax rate is 40%, and a 10% WACC is appropriate for the project. Boom (11-12) a. Calculate the project’s NPV, IRR, MIRR, and payback. b. Assume management is unsure about the $110,000 cost savings-this figure could deviate by as much as plus or minus 20%. What would the NPV be under each of these extremes?
