Reflect on the assigned readings for the week.

1) Identify what you thought was the one most important concept(s), method(s), and/or specific item that you felt was worthy of your understanding from the Key

2) Discuss in detail what the selected term means, how it is used and other pertinent information about the selected term including a specific example, application or case study from your own experience. Be specific; not vague or general.

3) Provide a detailed discussion of why you thought this selection is important and how it relates overall to Agile and critical chain.

Your initial post should be at least 450+ words and in APA format (including Times New Roman with font size 12 and double spaced). Post the actual body of your paper in the discussion thread then attach a Word version of the paper for APA review. Do not use lists or bullet points. This will result in substantial loss of points in the Substance section and the Requirements section.

This assignment has two parts.

Part A: Arguments

You learned that arguments state claims and give reasons to accept the claim. You also learned to distinguish arguments from non-arguments such as reports, illustrations, explanations, conditional statements, and unsupported assertions. For each of the following statements, decide if it is or is not an argument. If it is not an argument, identify the type of non-argument it is and explain your answer.

Mexican food is very spicy. I need water.

It was cold this morning and my car wouldn’t start. Also, the battery is weak.

You can’t take advanced biology unless you have passed chemistry. John failed chemistry so he won’t be taking advanced biology.

If it rains, the picnic will be postponed.

Marty will probably be accepted in law school. She had good grades in college and did well on the Law School Admissions Test.

My computer crashed because I spilled water on it.

Flight 890 to Newark has been cancelled due to weather.

Every day we make decisions, both small and large. For example, in the drugstore you have to decide which shampoo is the best buy.

Part B: Premises and Conclusion

Arguments consist of a claim and a reason or reasons to accept the claim. The claim is referred to as a “conclusion” and the reason/s are referred to as “premise/s.” In the following arguments, identify the premise/s and the conclusion.

Here is an example: 

You must be at least 18 years old to vote. Mike is under 18. Therefore, Mike cannot vote.

Use this format for your answer: 

Premise: You must be at least 18 years old to vote. 

Premise: Mike is under 18. 

Conclusion: Mike cannot vote.

Do not play your sound system loudly. You may not hear emergency sirens, and also, hearing damage from loud noise may not be detectable until it is too late.

Our city allows homeless people to panhandle at intersections. There is a man standing in the median holding a sign. He must be homeless.

Infants under a year old cannot digest honey, and botulism could result, so honey should not be fed to infants.

The death penalty is racially discriminatory, it has not been shown to be a deterrent, and innocent people might be executed. So death penalty should be abolished?

How could anyone criticize the highway patrol for speed traps? It could save your life if a speeder is stopped. If you aren’t speeding, you won’t need to worry about getting caught in a speed trap.

Mammals feed their young with milk. Humans are mammals. Humans feed their young with milk.

It’s a good time to buy a home since interest rates are low.

We should not purchase products made in a country where there is human rights abuse. There is human rights abuse in China, so we should not buy toys for our children that are made in China.

Dogs should never live in the house. Dogs have fleas and they shed.

No dinosaur survived following the ecological changes that occurred over 60 million years ago. The stegosaurus did not survive. The stegosaurus is a type of dinosaur

Two principle impediments to
effective and lasting organizational change are structures and systems
within the organization. In other words, for change to become a part of
an organization, managers often have to change the formal and informal
structures of an organization to better support the change initiative.

For this Discussion Question, find an organization in KSA that
completed a change in their organization within the last three years.
Discuss how they changed or modified their formal and informal
structures and systems to ensure the intended change became a part of
the organization’s culture. Then discuss how the organization used
structures and systems to deal with the uncertainty and complexity in
the environment? Was this an appropriate response?

How could the existing structures and systems have been approached
and used differently to advance the desired change? How did existing
structures and systems affect the ability of the change leader to bring
about the desired change?

• Use APA style guidelines
• 4-6 paragraphs
• 2-3 refrences and refrence inside the text

Hello

Read the article titled “9/11: Top lessons learned for disaster recovery,” from Computerworld.com, located at http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9219867/9_11_Top_lessons_learned_for_disaster_recovery , and consider the effects the attacks of September 11, 2001, have had on technology recovery efforts.

Write a two to four (2-4) page paper in which you:

1. Explain how the attacks affected risk management in organizations and have prompted an increased justification for recovery-based objectives, initiatives, and expenditures.
2. Analyze the use of social media and other current methods of communication for emergency notifications during an incident or disaster situation.
3. Determine whether or not organizations need to consider distanced geographic locations when preparing for backup operations / data centers, and determine the effects that recovery point objectives (RPO) and recovery time objectives (RTO) have on these decisions.
4. Evaluate the use of cloud services as tools for recovery operations within an organization, and explain how they could increase or decrease the effectiveness of recovery operations.
5. Determine whether or not cloud services are ideal recovery options for organizations regardless of their size. Provide a rationale to support the answer.
6. Use at least four (4) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

• Explain risk management in the context of information security.
• Summarize the various types of disasters, response and recovery methods.
• Compare and contrast the methods of disaster recovery and business continuity.
• Explain and develop a business continuity plan to address unforeseen incidents.
• Develop techniques for different disaster scenarios.

What’s the Worst That Could Happen? (25 points)

This is a question you should (and will be) asking yourself as you take on a security officer role. Quite honestly, this statement could become your undoing if you do not think it through or try to avoid answering such a question; however, the extreme “voice of doom” is not one you will be visiting very often. You should be evaluating the possible circumstances and ask yourself the above question as it pertains to something that could happen, such as a fire or user error.

For this exercise, you should think about a local company (one which you work or have worked) or a fake marketing firm in Kansas City Missouri. Ask yourself this question as you think through what they have and what could be lost. Think of a minimum of 7 threats to this network (one for each of the 7 IT Infrastructure Domains [pg.7]) and describe “What’s the Worst That Could Happen?” if these threats came true. For the threats, you should think of 5 within the realm of possibility and 2 on the fringe of possibilities.

Organize this response as an APA formatted paper. For each threat, you should write at least one paragraph responding to the question to each threat.

Course Outcomes Assessed:

1. Identify and define risk and risk management techniques.

5. Identify and evaluate threats, vulnerabilities, countermeasures, and mitigation recommendations.

Minimum 3 peer reviewed articles for reference.

Paper must include- abstract, introduction , content/body, conclusion, references
