Describe the use of Vulnerability testing as a threat management technique.

A client of yours is concerned about external intrusion on their corporate network, and those inside their environment that they seek to fire! They’ve heard about firewalls and they need your professional opinion as to whether, with the implementation of firewalls, they can feel 100% secured. Still on their quest to maintain a secure environment, especially with much concern on external attacks, they would like to understand what Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) are about. In addition they would like an understanding of Threat Management techniques that can be implemented with the Firewall, such as Vulnerability Testing, Penetration Testing and SIEM.

In your 3-4 page MS Word paper, complete the following within the suggested format:

Research five peer-reviewed articles in the University Library that were published within the last 15 years, including a minimum of one article for each of your three chosen topics. In your paper, begin with an introduction that describes the role of assessment in diagnosis and treatment. Using your researched articles, compare at least two psychological or educational tests and/or assessment procedures for each of the topics chosen. Analyze and describe the psychometric methodologies employed in the development and/or validation of the tests and/or assessment procedures associated with each of the three topics. Debate any relevant approaches to assessment of the constructs being evaluated by any tests and assessments you described. Include an analysis of any challenges related to assessing individuals from diverse social and cultural backgrounds for each of the three topics. Conclude by evaluating the ethical and professional issues that influence the interpretation of testing and assessment data. You may cite from your textbook to assist you in the development of your introduction and the conclusion of your paper; however, the textbook cannot count as one of the five required peer-reviewed articles.

Note: It is common for there to be a delay between the time a test publisher updates a test and the time the textbook and other authors can update their information about the new version of the test. Be sure to do online research to make sure you are recommending the most current version of the test. If there is a newer version than the version discussed in the textbook or other readings, recommend the newest version.

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read Chapters 8 and 9 in the textbook and carefully review Section 4 of Chapter 7 in the U.S. Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration (2006) guide, Testing and Assessment: A Guide to Good Practices for Workforce Investment Professionals (Links to an external site.). In addition, review all the required articles for this week, as well as the MMPI-3 Case Description: Mr. J – Interpretive Report  Download MMPI-3 Case Description: Mr. J – Interpretive Reportand the PSY640 Week Four Psychological Assessment Report  Download PSY640 Week Four Psychological Assessment Report.

For this discussion, you will take on the role of a psychologist who was recently assigned two new clients. You will examine psychological assessment information presented in two different formats: a computer generated interpretative report of personality test results for the patient Mr. J and a psychological report written by a licensed psychologist for the patient Ms. S. In your initial post, you will examine the personality assessment instruments used in each report.

Carefully review the MMPI-3 Case Description: Mr. J – Interpretive Report  Download MMPI-3 Case Description: Mr. J – Interpretive Report; this patient was referred to you at a community mental health center after he was discharged from at a crisis stabilization unit. Write a one-paragraph summary of the computer generated MMPI-3 results for Mr. J based on the information in the interpretive report. Note: Your summary should primarily present test results, not the background information on Mr. J’s case.

In your role as the psychologist who evaluated Ms. S., examine the personality and ability testing results in the PSY640 Week Four Psychological Assessment Report  Download PSY640 Week Four Psychological Assessment Report. In your next meeting with Ms. S, you will be required to give her a copy of the psychological assessment report and discuss the results with her by explaining the psychological concepts effectively observing appropriate professional standards. In order to share this discussion with your colleagues, you will create a video of a three- to five-minute assessment feedback session. Begin with a 1-2 sentence summary of the reason the client was referred for testing and devote the remainder of the time summarizing the test results, diagnoses and recommendations. Do not repeat history information about the client in the assessment feedback session. Be sure to report and summarize the most important information from the psychological testing in language your client can understand. You may use any software you choose to create your video. Quick-Start Guides are available for Screencast-O-Matic (Links to an external site.) for your convenience. You may also record the video on your phone or computer and upload it into a site such as YouTube. Once you have created your video, include the link in your initial post.

In your initial post, provide an evaluation of the contents of both psychological evaluations in terms of ethical standards and the professionalism of the interpretation of the testing and assessment data presented. Write an analysis of the psychometric methodologies employed in the development and validation of the MMPI-3 personality test used with both clients. Develop a list of at least two additional tests of personality or emotional functioning to administer to the two clients that demonstrate acceptable validity. Justify your inclusion of each additional assessment measure in terms of the validity of the assessment measure and your clients’ presenting concerns, diagnosis, and prognosis.

Note: It is common for there to be a delay between the time a test publisher updates a test and the time the textbook and other authors can update their information about the new version of the test. Be sure to do online research to make sure you are recommending the most current version of the test. If there is a newer version than the version discussed in the textbook or other readings, recommend the newest version.

  • Appraise the research exploring the technical adequacy (i.e., reliability and validity) of projective tests.
  • Describe the impact of social and culture variability on the administration and interpretation of projective tests.

Section 3: Synthesis, Conclusions, and Recommendations

  • Write a brief one-paragraph scenario for a fictitious client. Include the following information: presenting concerns (reason for referral), age, gender, ethnicity, language(s), and any other significant information (e.g., military status, health issues, marital status, sexual orientation, etc.).

  • Select a minimum of one objective and one projective measure to use with your client. Compare the use of the selected projective and objective personality measures with your identified client. Note: It is common for there to be a delay between the time a test publisher updates a test and the time the textbook and other authors can update their information about the new version of the test. Be sure to do online research to make sure you are recommending the most current version of the tests. If there is a newer version than the version discussed in the textbook or other readings, recommend the newest version.
  • Analyze the advantages and limitations of each assessment measure you selected.
  • Compose recommendations to improve the validity of personality assessment.
