You provide a lecture to the working group regarding the importance of security education, awareness, and training due to the oft-quoted security maxim that users/humans are the weakest link in the security chain. While making users aware of security risks and training them how to protect company assets will reduce risk, it is important to put technical controls in place to protect the operating systems and applications that employees use every day. Discuss the importance of “hardening” the PCS client workstations and servers.

While making users aware of security risks and training them how to protect company assets will reduce risk, it is important to put technical controls in place to protect the operating systems and applications that employees use every day.
Discuss the importance of “hardening” the PCS client workstations and servers. Make recommendations for operating system hardening options and describe how these are related to the concept of “system-specific policies” discussed earlier in the course. One of the working group members blurts out that antivirus protection is a waste of computing resources and patching applications takes too much time. Be sure to address these two concepts in your initial thread. Include at least one research reference and associated in-text citation using APA standards. In your replies to your peers further discuss the importance of software security.

Effectively plan, design, develop, and test an original program of your choosing. This program is your choice and it can be as complex as you wish. The goal is to start with an idea for your program and then step through the process of most phases of the development lifecycle to turn your idea into an actual program. This includes planning out the algorithm using pseudocode, coding your program using everything you learned from Units 1-3, and finally, testing and debugging your program to make sure it fulfills your intended purpose. You will fill out a journal (template link below) which has five sections that correspond to the five steps you will complete for your final project.

A mother brings her 6-month-old daughter to the HCP for evaluation of possible colic. The mother says the baby has had many episodes of crying after eating and, despite having a good appetite, is not gaining weight. The mother says the baby’s belly “gets all swollen sometimes.” The mother says the baby tastes “salty” when the mother kisses the baby. Further work up reveals a diagnosis of cystic fibrosis. The mother relates that her 23-month-old son has had multiple episodes of “chest congestion” and was hospitalized once for pneumonia. The mother wants to know what cystic fibrosis is and she also wants to know if she should have any more children. Post an explanation of the disease highlighted in the scenario you were provided. Include the following in your explanation: The role genetics plays in the disease. Why the patient is presenting with the specific symptoms described. The physiologic response to the stimulus presented in the scenario and why you think this response occurred.
