Security Architecture and Design

The purpose of this final assignment is for you to demonstrate your in-depth understanding of the security concepts covered thus far in this course. This assignment is a paper that both answers the listed questions and ties together concepts from different chapters.

The final is a formal academic paper in APA style. Include headings and subheadings to make it easy to follow the sections of your paper. There is no required length for this final paper. However, each answer needs to thoroughly address each aspect listed in the question.

Summary of Part III:

Chapters 12 and 13 explore some areas to help create and maintain a program for Architecture Risk Assessment (ARA) and threat modeling. Upper management needs to support the security standards. There are inevitable tradeoffs in business between rigorous security and delivering products to customers, so there needs to be a balance between the security standards and the time lag they can create on innovation and product delivery.

Content of Final Paper:

Respond to each question below. Remember to cover all aspects of the question.

Successful security architecture needs upper management to support for effective security standards and protocols. However, there are possible disadvantages to upper management involvement. List and describe the tradeoffs in business between rigorous security and delivering products to customers. Go beyond merely the automated solutions, or the technical checks that can be done without much human support.

Examine how capturing, standardizing, applying patterns, and standard solutions help to increase efficiency and maintain delivery teams’ velocity. Provide at least 3 real-world examples which describe and examine how they provide the velocity. Do not simply provide a list of things teams can do but for each idea, define the idea and explain its relevance.

Schoenfield lists several components of a successful security architecture practice, such as broad support across the organization, recruitment and training of security architects with the right kind of aptitude and interest, effective security requirements that enhance but do not slow down the innovation process, and finally, indicators that the security architecture team is being well utilized and adding value to project development. Describe what each of these components are and explain how each is relevant to security development. Include detail and examples.

What approach would you take in explaining how systematic and unsystematic risks affect risk planning?

1. You are the Chief Risk Officer for a company and you’ve been tasked with identifying the areas where your company is exposed to systematic and unsystematic risks.

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:

· Based on the information you learned this week, what approach would you take in explaining how systematic and unsystematic risks affect risk planning?

· Describe your approach.

· Name 3 or more systematic or unsystematic risks your company might face.

· Think of some implications if your company decides not to be proactive and plan for these risks.

2. The purchasing power risk is the risk of inflation, lowering our ability to purchase goods and services. For instance, when I was in the second grade, I began a lawn care business. I paid $0.25 for a gallon of gas to fuel my push lawnmower. Last week, I spent $2.98/gallon when I filled my automobile with gasoline. One reason for the difference in price is purchasing power. Purchasing power is one reason for using the present value, future value, net present value, internal rate of return, and profitability index when creating and evaluating capital budgets. What is the reinvestment rate risk?

Does the rate at which people are reproducing need to be controlled to save the environment?

There is no question that the world’s population will grow dramatically in the next decade. The members of the United Nations are working to understand the impact that population growth has in developing countries. For this assignment, imagine you have been hired by the UN to help assess the social impact of population growth. Your first project as a consultant with the UN is to develop a whitepaper on three issues related to the population growth faced by a developing country of your choosing. Read the overview below, then write a whitepaper addressing the questions below.

I. Overview

Our obsession with continual economic growth deters us from studying the role that an expanding population plays in global warming. (1)

About 3 billion years ago, the earth suffered a mass extinction caused by catastrophic volcanic activity in Siberia and wildfires that covered the entire planet. Since then, four more mass extinction events eradicated up to 80% of all species each time. The world’s community of climatologists and scientists overwhelmingly agree that we are now on the verge of a sixth mass event that, over the next few tens of thousands of years, will wipe out nearly all living species on Earth, including mankind. This is not the stuff of science fiction or speculation, but rather the studied view of the experts who are most qualified to make this kind of assessment. As anthropologist Richard Leaky, author of The Sixth Extinction, wrote in 1995, “Homo sapiens might not only be the agent of the sixth extinction, but also risks being one of its victims” (2).

This leaves us with two issues worth reflecting on:

1. Does the rate at which people are reproducing need to be controlled to save the environment?

2. To what extent does human population growth impact global warming, and what can be done about it?
