Post1:
Security information and event management (SIEM or SIME) is an information security technology that allows security information to be shared between different security tools. SIEM combines log management, intrusion detection, threat monitoring, vulnerability assessment, and other tools to provide information about an organization’s security. By combining the reporting of different system logs, SIEM provides greater transparency into the security of a system, both inside and outside the organization(El Hajji et al., 2019). The normalization process is a set of changes to the SIEM framework to make it usable and scalable. The normalization process will improve the SIEM framework efficiency and provide the ability to handle any data and number of entities. For example, they may need to normalize the SIEM system in such a way that they want to count all the high records from a particular entity in all the SIEM instances in the organization. A SIEM is configured to detect and process the events, enabling them to extract valuable intelligence to enhance situational awareness as a SIEM is the most cost-effective and efficient data processing method(Chapple, 2021).
The security information and event management analysis are used to determine if a vulnerability exists. It determines if any exploits are being used against a network and what devices have been compromised. An event has been recorded in the past and correlates with a threat. It is done by analysing a high-security information and event management (SIEM) environment. In many circumstances, it is essential to have an analyst or human review every potential compromise. In today’s world, a breach may be perpetrated by a malicious insider, an automated hacker, or potentially an attacker through a remote network. An analyst needs to understand all the components involved in a compromise and all the technical methods used to carry out the attack(Chapple, 2021).
An analyst will need to understand the technical capabilities of a SIEM system. It includes: identifying which components have been compromised and their state; reviewing the traffic at the time of compromise and after reviewing all the data, network logs, and system logs that were captured during a compromise; and finally, understanding all of the technical methodologies used to carry out a breach. These are tools used by a subset of the security operations function managed by a central IT organization that also houses the information technology group responsible for managing information technology infrastructure and security technology. Using enterprise solutions comes with the additional requirement that the IT organization can help with data collection, analysis, and validation(El Hajji et al., 2019).

Post2:
SIEM stands for Security Information Event Management. It is software used to collect logs and other information from different sources to identify threats and vulnerabilities. According to the author (Pratt, 2017), this software is a decade old mainly used to analyze usage patterns and log management. Unlike traditional applications that collect just the log data, SIEM uses different sources of information, accumulates data, and analyzes data as a whole. Such additional capabilities add more value to the organization to protect itself from threats and vulnerabilities.
Would a SIEM system be valuable if it did not normalize data? Why or why not?
Since SIEM collects data from various sources like Network logs, cloud, and on-prem devices, servers, instances, access points, etc., as raw format. Digging through just the application and usage logs itself is so tedious for analysts. The addition of information from all the sources mentioned above makes it tiresome even for senior analysts. Hence, normalization is a crucial feature for organizations dealing with massive data and usage. With normalization, SIEM makes it easy to read for both the humans as well as the systems. Without normalization, SIEM is just like any other log management tool. I think normalization makes SIEM software stronger than traditional log filtering and visualizing tools available in the market. 
Does an organization that uses a SIEM system still need a human analyst? Why or why not?
The author of the article (Monge, 2019) stated that SIEM data conversion makes it easy for analysts to read and understand. The above statement implicitly explains that the application can improve the readability but not remove the necessity of having an analyst. Many vendors implemented Machine Learning capabilities (Monge, 2019) to the SIEM software making it more robust. But, an organization cannot rely solely on the SIEM software output. If I own an organization, I would never rely on SIEM software solely. Since analysts can think from different views and contexts, unlike software that uses just the predictions or a set of rules, analysts are still needed to understand the data. But SIEM can reduce the efforts of analysts to a certain degree with its advanced capabilities.

Create a visual storyboard expressing what happens to a couple stranded on a road trip.

Purpose:
To create a visual storyboard for a narrative involving a couple stranded on a road trip. The following skills and knowledge are essential to success in your professional life beyond this course:
Skills:
⦁ Selecting and arranging images that express the plot, theme and characters in the story.
Knowledge:
⦁ Selecting images that communicate emotions.
⦁ Selecting images that express action.
⦁ Selecting images that express the passage of time.
⦁ Selecting images that express intangibles, such as hunger.
Task:
Create a visual storyboard expressing what happens to a couple stranded on a road trip. Select and arrange images that complete the story from the point where the opening narration leaves off. Do not storyboard the opening narration. All steps are highly unique to your specific project, therefore problem-solving and critical thinking skills are necessary.
⦁ Please view ⦁ LinkedIn Learning: “Learning Graphic Novel Storyboarding” with Ben Bishop and “The Storyboard Artist’s Life” with Darin McGowan, Links to an external site. “⦁ Psycho Shower Scene Storyboard
⦁ Actions
⦁ ” and “⦁ Comics—Not Just for Laughs Links to an external site.,” before starting this project.
⦁ Read the paragraph below. It sets the stage for you to complete the story using a visual storyboard—a sequence of still images deliberately arranged to represent the events of a story to be filmed, in the order they will be finally edited and screened; for example, as in Saul Bass’s Psycho Shower Scene Storyboard.

⦁
⦁ Memorial Day—the unofficial start of summer. John and Linda had been anticipating the time off from work. John is a teacher and Linda is a bank teller. They live in Miami. They had made plans to visit Linda’s mom in Orlando and maybe go to Disney World or Universal Studios during the three-day weekend. On Thursday night, they had packed their bags for a three-day excursion, and as soon as they got off from work on Friday afternoon, they were on the road. It was a trip they had made many times before, but this time it would be different. Sawgrass fires forced I-95 and the Turnpike to shut down for long stretches. They had to get off the main highway and seek alternative routes. With heavier than usual traffic on a holiday weekend, what was normally a four-hour trip extended late into the night. Then the car’s left front tire blew out, and they had to pull over in an unfamiliar town. Both John and Linda’s cell phones were not working…

⦁ Write an outline expressing what will happen to John and Linda From the point where the narration leaves off – this opening narration will not be storyboarded. Also, do not invent a different opening situation (please continue the story of the stranded couple).
⦁ The goal of the story is to create an emotional experience for the audience by identifying with the main characters by creating empathy. Be sure to include emotions and experiences that might be familiar to the audience—mostly young adults in college, like yourself.
⦁ Conflict occurs when the main characters encounter, and must overcome, obstacles. The story winds down after all the conflicts are resolved. In the movies, the guy and girl live happily ever after—The End. Make your story resolve the conflicts in the plot—or not, the couple might be unable to reach their destination due to unforeseen circumstances. Don’t end the story abruptly after the required number of slides (24), but let the audience understand what happens to them.
⦁ Think about how you can reveal time, wind, or hunger—things that cannot be naturally shown in visual form.
⦁ Search Unsplash.com, Pexels.com, Google Images, flickr.com, iStockPhoto.com, or other online sources of photographs for images to complete the story. Alternatively, your storyboard may be hand-drawn (as was Saul Bass’s storyboard for Psycho), then digitized. As another alternative, you may stage some of the scenes of the story with your friends, then photograph with a digital or mobile phone camera (at medium or 1024×768 resolution—Not higher). In any case, import the images to PowerPoint, where they are to be arranged in sequence to express the details of the story.
⦁ The story must make sense visually, without the use of verbal messages.
⦁ You must show a sequence of events—for example, a sunset to symbolize day turning into night, or people walking to signify that they are going somewhere. Show all the steps; don’t abbreviate anything. For example, don’t just show the couple walking through the woods, and then suddenly they’re in their hotel room. Instead, take time to flesh out all the steps, showing a hotel exterior, then an interior of the hotel lobby, the couple talking to a desk clerk, and the bellhop taking them to their room. This is only an example. Your story might not even involve the couple making it to a hotel room. The point is to not skip any steps.
⦁ Select and arrange images that express the subtle nuances of your story’s events literally and unambiguously. Symbolic images, such as clip art, logos, or icons (like a lightbulb expressing a bright idea) are not allowed!!! Don’t use smiley faces, the “no” symbol (a red circle with a diagonal red bar through it, used in “no smoking” and in road signs), or other symbolic images. Don’t use cartoons.
⦁ The first slide must contain the following information:
Student’s Name
VIC3400—Visual Design for Globalized Media
Project Assignment 6—Visual Storyboard Narrative
Module 11, Assigned Week of _ (start of Module 11)
<>
⦁ The second slide must contain the opening narration from the bullet point immediately after step 2 (see above). Do not storyboard the opening narration. Your visual storyboard must begin where it leaves off. Do not invent a different situation (one not involving the stranded couple) Please use that one specifically.
⦁ Use at least 24 frames to complete the remainder of your story outline. Arrange them in sequential order in a PowerPoint presentation.
⦁ Use only one image per slide.
⦁ Upload files in the following formats only: Microsoft PowerPoint documents (.ppt or .pptx), Apple Keynote (.key), Adobe Reader files (.pdf), or a series of numerically-named JPEG image files (.jpg). If the file takes too long to post to the discussions or assignment drop box, please upload it to your Google Drive, click Share (Anyone with the Link), and post the Sharing Link in the discussions and assignment drop box.
⦁ Post your first-draft storyboard in the Module 11 Discussion Forum for reciprocal, constructive feedback from classmates and instructor.
⦁ Incorporate any changes suggested by your classmates if you feel it will improve your work, and post a revised draft storyboard in the Module 12 Discussion Forum, for more reciprocal, constructive feedback.
⦁ Incorporate any last-minute changes before uploading your final storyboard to the Assignment 6 submission button (click “Submit Assignment” above).
Criteria:
⦁ Solution is a visual storyboard, completing the opening narrative of the stranded couple without storyboarding the opening narration, and without inventing a new situation (you MUST use the storyline involving the stranded couple).
⦁ Storyboard consists of at least 24 slides (found images, original drawings, or staged photos with friends) to complete the story of the stranded couple.
⦁ Storyboard must display only one image per slide, and continuing the storyline involving the stranded couple.
⦁ Images must express the action, events, and emotions literally, not symbolically (clip art, cartoons, logos or icons are not allowed), and slides contain no verbal messages, and continuing the storyline involving the stranded couple.
⦁ Sequential narrative must not abbreviate any steps, but rather show all steps that take place in an event; for example, entering a hotel and renting a room—not a jump-cut from walking in the woods straight to a hotel room, and continuing the storyline involving the stranded couple.
⦁ Sequential narrative must convey empathy (emotional connection to the human characters), conflict (problems that need solving) and resolution (whether good or bad).
⦁ Sequential narrative “wraps up” after the conflict is resolved. The storyboard does not continue long after the conflicts have been resolved.
⦁ Student posts first- and revised-drafts in the Module 11 and 12 Discussions, respectively, and participates in a critique.
