Description
You
have been hired to upgrade the operating systems to handle both
near-term and future requirements for an enterprise that you are
familiar with or a fictitious enterprise. Throughout this course, you
will be developing a design for several core elements of operating
systems to produce a final proposal report to address new requirements
for moving to a distributed, virtual environment. The weekly Individual
Project assignments will culminate in the final Key Assignment.
Additional information and the deliverables for each Individual Project
will be provided in the assignment description for this project.
Project Selection:
The first step is to select an enterprise as the target for your
operating system upgrade proposal. This project will be used as the
basis for each of the assignments throughout the course and should
conform to the following guidelines:
Nontrivial: The selected enterprise should be large
enough to reflect the need to upgrade operating systems for a
distributed, virtual environment.
Domain Knowledge: You should be familiar enough with the organization to allow focus on its operating system’s needs.
Select an enterprise that fits these requirements, and submit your
proposal to your instructor before proceeding further with the
assignments in the course. Approval should be sought within the first
days of the course. Your instructor will tell you how to submit this
proposal and what notification will be given for project approval.
Assignment:
You will be developing a comprehensive operating system strategy
report for the assignments in this course. Your first task in this
process will be to select an enterprise to use as the basis of your
projects. You will also create the shell document for the final Key
Assignment project deliverable that you will be working on during each
unit. As you proceed through each project phase, you will add content to
each section of the final document to gradually complete the final
project delivery. Appropriate research should be conducted to support
the analysis in your report. Assumptions may be made when necessary.
Submit the project proposal to your instructor for approval.
Create the Operating Systems Design Document shell (8–9 pages, including blank pages)

New Content (2–3 pages)
Project Outline
Provide a brief description of the enterprise (can by hypothetical)
in which the design proposal has the potential of being adopted.
Provide a summary of current operating system in use.
Material can be taken from the approved proposal that was submitted to the instructor.
Be sure that this project is approved by the instructor.
OS Processor and Core
Discuss the benefits for upgrading the operating system utilizing a
multi-processor, multi-core configuration to support a distributed or
virtual environment.
Discuss the steps that will need to take place to upgrade the processor and core.
Describe which requirements this will support for the upgrade.
Name the document “YourName_CS630_IP1.doc.”
Submit the document for grading.

Explain how your personal morals,values and judgement might influence your decision to resolve ethical dilemma

A) Discussion Forum 5: Security Controls Address Risk
1) In Discussion Forum 5, post your response to the following discussion topic. Reply to at least two classmates’ responses and shares informative URLs by the date indicated in the Course Calendar. Your discussion question response should be at least 200 Words, with another 50 words per reply. Risk is defined as the probability that a threat will be realized. You can calculate the expected loss by multiplying the risk probability by the asset cost. Based on your own experience, which of the following security review activities (Monitor, Audit, Improve, and Secure from page 218 of the book Fundamentals of Information Systems Security) do you feel should receive the most resources? Explain why. 2) Respond to at least two other students (at least 50 words each )!
Respond to two (2) students/Peers (two classmates). The responses should be at least 50 words each and must focus on the discussion topic above. Examine related issues, ask questions, provide hypothesis and/or situation(s). A peer response should not be to a peer already responded to more than twice.
B). Part 1: What is the difference between Qualitative and Quantitative Risk Assessments? Give an example of each. Part 2: In week 8, each student will complete a project on vulnerabilities. Identify any three vulnerabilities that you have discovered and want to research about. Include pictures if possible.
Part 3: In simple and brief sentences, answer the following:
How susceptible are our systems to external threats such as cyberattacks or malware due to identified vulnerabilities?
Are there any weaknesses in our physical security measures that could be exploited by unauthorized individuals?
How effectively are we addressing vulnerabilities introduced by third-party vendors or partners who have access to our systems or data?
