Threat modeling seek to identify, communicate, document, and understand threats and mitigations within the context of protecting the business assets. Part of threat modeling therefore would involve discovering potential security vulnerabilities. Security vulnerabilities are normally identified by performing security vulnerability scans in the target environment (s).
Compare and contrast the process/steps of threat modeling/vulnerability scanning in the following cloud service providers’ environments:
Microsoft Azure
Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Discuss and compared four (4) requirements necessary to be performed threat modeling in Azure and AWS platforms?
Discuss two common tools use to perform threat modeling in both AWS and Azure cloud platforms
Would you need permission to perform threat modeling with your PaaS service provider? If yes, why?
DQ requirement:
Outline your discussion under relevant headings, matching the question asked.I recommend your initial posting to be between 250-300 All initial posts must contain a properly formatted APA in-text citation and scholarly reference.
Identify a vulnerable population in your community. What resources are available to service their specific needs? What mechanisms are in place to facilitate access to these services? What are the known gaps or areas that could be better addressed?
1. Define scarcity. What signifies to managers that a resource used in production is becoming scarce? What impact does this have on management decisions?
2. Define economic profit. Explain how economic profit is different than accounting profit. Why is it important for economists to measure economic profit rather than just sticking to the accounting profit used in accounting and finance?
3. Define opportunity cost. Give an example of a personal decision you made within the past year. What explicit costs were involved? What opportunity costs were involved? Explain how youarrived at your decision. Include the role of opportunity costs in your explanation and describecriteria you used to evaluate your options.
4. When analyzing decisions that are made within a firm, economists typically assume that “profit maximization” is the firm’s main goal. However, a number of other goals are also possible. Choose one of the “other” possible goals and compare it to “profit maximization.” Under what circumstances might the “other” goal that you described become a major focus for the firm? If you were the CEO of a large firm, what steps might you take to ensure that departments within the firm are working together toward common goals?
5. Under what circumstances would a firm benefit from outsourcing a portion of its business operations? What are the major costs and benefits that would need to be considered when deciding to outsource? (Identify at least two costs and two benefits.)
DATABASE SYSTEMS
Assessment: Research and Data Modelling
Part A: Database research (approx. 200-250 words):
Note: you are expected to conduct research about current and future Database technologies by answering the below question:
Research Question: Explore history of database systems and discuss the three most important developments in database development history to date.
Note: Use proper references in the APA style. Your research report must be well presented using proper content organization.
Part B: Data Modelling (10 Marks)
Create a complete ERD in Crow’s Foot notation that can be implemented in the relational model using the following description of operations. Hot Water(HW) is a small start-up company that sells spas. HW does not carry any stock. A few spas are set up in a simple warehouse so customers can see some of the models available, but any products sold must be ordered at the time of the sale.
· HW can get spas from several different manufacturers.
· Each manufacturer produces one or more different brands of spas.
· Each and every brand is produced by only one manufacturer.
· Every brand has one or more models.
· Every model is produced as part of a brand. For example, Iguana Bay Spas is a manufacturer that produces Big Blue Iguana spas, a premium-level brand, and Lazy Lizard spas, an entry-level brand. The Big Blue Iguana brand offers several models, including the BBI-6, an 81-jet spa with two 6-hp motors, and the BBI-10, a 102-jet spa with three 6-hp motors.
· Every manufacturer is identified by a manufacturer code. The company name, address, area code, phone number, and account number are kept in the system for every manufacturer.
· For each brand, the brand name and brand level (premium, mid-level, or entry-level) are kept in the system.
· For each model, the model number, number of jets, number of motors, number of horsepower per motor, suggested retail price, HW retail price, dry weight, water capacity, and seating capacity must be kept in the system.
Your task
Create an ERD for each of the above statements that describe the current business rules for HW. For each new statement being the business rule.
Use Crows Foot notations and include all of the following in each part:
**Additional 1 mark is given when following all the above correctly and producing a neat ERD with correct notations.
Reflection Journal: Learning From the Community
We often consider how community health nurses can support vulnerable populations. For this self-reflection, consider what unique assets or perspectives vulnerable populations can provide to nurses. Reflect on how you, as a professional nurse, hope to improve individual and social factors that contribute to vulnerability in populations. What public policies may affect these vulnerable populations?
