Your goal in this assignment is to perform a close reading of Beowulf and develop an original claim by identifying an opportunity for conversation in the text. The best way to do this is to begin by locating an element of Beowulf that fascinates, shocks, or perplexes you. By articulating what interests you in the text, you should have an easier time identifying a specific opportunity for conversation: a gap, tension, contradiction, ambiguity, or difficulty in the text or the subject of the text. Compose a paper of at least three full pages in which you offer your original claim and support that claim with evidence from your close reading of the text. In this assignment, you will draw on part of the Beowulf poet’s text to develop a new, original view of your own.

W2 Lab: “Authorized Uses”

hi plz follow the attached assignment and plz help me get a good grade on it . thnx

In this unit you studied various ways to be financially responsible. This project will allow you to experiment with credit card calculators and learn how long it really takes to pay off debt once it accumulates. Download the project handout in the sidebar. Individuals or small groups will work to calculate minimum payments and/or term lengths for paying off credit card debt and also learn what advantages and disadvantages there are to having a credit card. Submit your completed project when you are finished.

Scenario:

Volunteers have been recruited to help state governments improve their cybersecurity practices. The coordinating committee has decided that the first task these volunteers undertake will be a comparative analysis which examines the strengths and weaknesses of existing IT Security Policies for state governments (agencies and offices of the executive branch under the leadership of the state governors). Since you volunteered early, you have your pick of any two states’IT Security Policies from the list published by the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MSISAC). (See item #1 under Research.)

Research:

1. Select two state government IT Security Policies. Use the list at https://msisac.cisecurity.org/state/ (if you encounter a broken link, you may search for that state’s policy or choose a different state).
2. Download and review your selected state governments’ IT Security Policy documents.
3. Develop five or more points which are common across the two documents. (Similarities)
4. Identify and review at least three unique items in each document. (Differences)
5. Research best practices for IT Security and/or IT Security Policies for state governments. Here are two sources which you may find helpful:
   1. http://www.nascio.org/Portals/0/Publications/Docum…
   2. http://www.nascio.org/Portals/0/Publications/Docum…
6. Using your research and your comparison of the two policy documents, develop an answer to the question: Why should every state government have an IT security policy for state agencies and offices under the state’s executive branch?

Write:

Write a five (5) to eight (8) page white paper in which you summarize your research and discuss the similarities and differences between the two IT security policy documents. You should focus upon clarity and conciseness more than length when determining what content to include in your paper. At a minimum, your white paper must include the following:

1. An introduction or overview of IT Security Policies for the executive branch of state governments (covering state agencies and offices in the executive branch including the governor’s office). Explain the purpose of an IT security policy and how it is used. Answer the question: why should every state in the nation have a comprehensive IT security policy for state agencies and offices? (Make sure that you address the importance of such strategies to small, resource-poor states as well as to large or wealthy states.)
2. A separate section in which you discuss the common principles and policy sections / statements (similarities) found in both IT security policy documents.
3. A separate section in which you discuss the unique aspects of the first state’s IT security policy document.
4. A separate section in which you discuss the unique aspects of the second state’s IT security policy document.
5. A section in which you discuss your evaluation of which state government has the better of the two IT security policy documents. You should also present best practice based recommendations for improvements for both IT security policy documents. (Note: you may have different recommendations for the individual policies depending upon the characteristics of each document.)
6. A separate section in which you summarize your research and recommendations.

Submit For Grading

Submit your white paper in MS Word format (.docx or .doc file) using the OPEN Data Assignment in your assignment folder. (Attach the file.)

Additional Information

1. Your white paper should use standard terms and definitions for cybersecurity concepts. The following sources are recommended:

1. ISACA Glossary http://www.isaca.org/pages/glossary.aspx
2. Guidelines on Security and Privacy in Public Cloud Computing http://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/Legacy/SP/nistspe…

1. You are expected to credit your sources using in-text citations and reference list entries. Both your citations and your reference list entries must comply with APA 6th edition Style requirements.
