Anomaly detection involves actual software that works to detect intrusion attempts and notify the administrator. The system looks for any anomalous behavior. Any activity that does not match the pattern of normal user access is noted. Go to Google.com and search for information on how anomaly detection works and then answer the question: How does the IDS define normal use? A good place to find information about IDS system types is http://infosecuritymag.techtarget.com/articles/august01/cover.shtml.

Essay #1 (Required for all applicants.)
Everyone belongs to many different communities and/or groups defined by (among other things) shared geography, religion, ethnicity, income, cuisine, interest, race, ideology, or intellectual heritage. Choose one of the communities to which you belong, and describe that community and your place within it. 300 words maximum
Most businesses face a landscape of uncertainty and a never-ending stream of risks and opportunities. Managers must continually project the likely financial impact of decisions, make recommendations, act on those decisions, determine how to pay for them, and evaluate the costs and effectiveness of what has been done. Many decisions are short-term, routine, and operational. Others are longer-term investment decisions that require substantial new resources, such as developing new services, expanding into new geographic markets, or undertaking business combinations or spin-offs. Each requires managers to forecast, plan, and make decisions based on a thorough understanding of both internal and external factors that can affect a companys financial success. For the summative assessment in this course, you will bring your finance and economics knowledge to bear by preparing an external capital funding proposal for a major international investment at a publicly traded corporation. In order to secure the support of potential financial backers, your proposal will need to lay out what the proposed investment opportunity is, how it fits within the companys broader mission and goals, its financial impact, and the amount being requested and why (including alternative funding mechanisms considered). In addition, it will also need to include information on the organizations context, risk factors, and microeconomic assumptions that could affect the success of the investment.
Chosen company (Nordstrom, Inc) is used for the final project, and you have started a narrative description of your expansion project into another country which is the UK. In this milestone, you will build on that narrative description providing sufficient detail about the expansion, its costs, and its time frame to give a loan committee a firm sense of the proposed investment. You will also analyze the impact of the investment proposal on your business by explaining why now is the right time for this investment given the global context and by explaining how the investment is a good strategic fit with your company. This milestone addresses all of Section II and Section III (Parts A and B only) of the final project.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed in PARENTHESES ( ):
II. (Investment Project): Use this section to describe the investment for which you are seeking funding, its costs, and time frame. Specifically, you should:
A. (Describe) the investment project. Be sure to provide sufficient detail to give the loan committee a firm sense of the parameters of the activity, the need for it, and what financial metrics are relevant for determining success. In other words, what do you propose to do, where, what marketplace need will it fill, and how will you measure success?
B. Specify the (resources) the project will require and where these resources will come from. In addition to noting the amount of the loan you are requesting, you should also consider human resources, facilities, government approvals, intellectual property, access to natural resources, and other resources that might be required to carry out the project.
C. (Time frame) When will the project start, what is the anticipated economic life of the proposed expansion, and how will you decide if, when, or how to exit? Justify your choices with appropriate financial metrics.
III. (Justification): In this section, you should analyze the impact of the investment proposal on your business. In particular, you should cover:
A. (Why is now) a good time for this investment given the global context? Justify your response, citing specific external factors such as trade regulations, foreign currency considerations, or trends in foreign direct investment that might affect business financial decisions.
B. (Strategic fit). Use this section to discuss why the investment proposal makes sense for your company strategically. Specifically:
1. How does the investment align with the companys organizational and financial (priorities)? Support your argument with evidence from company reports and financial statement analysis designed to persuade the lender that the investment is a good strategic fit for your company.
2. How does the project fit within the global (microeconomic) environment? Support your response with evidence. For example, would the expansion tap unmet demand for the companys key products or services or fill a new niche? How do you know?
3. How does the project build on the organizations core competencies and (comparative advantage)? For example, does the company have a strategic advantage from intellectual property, regional expertise, suppliers, or organizational structure?
