Overview
Writing code is difficult. Writing secure code can be even more challenging. As the developer, you are responsible for writing secure code. You’ll know your code is secure when you manually search for and identify possible security vulnerabilities. Developing this skill is important because it becomes more challenging as the number of lines and complexity of your code increase.
As you learned in this module, you can follow a workflow. You can also use tools widely accepted in software security and vulnerability assessments. You can focus your manual code inspection and narrow your search for possible security vulnerabilities within your code by following the vulnerability assessment process flow diagram.
Specifically, in this assignment, you will complete the following actions:
Determine relevant areas of security for a software application.
Identify software security vulnerabilities by manually reviewing source code.
Identify potential mitigation techniques that have been used to mitigate vulnerabilities associated with known exploits.
Scenario
You are a senior software developer on a team of software developers. You are responsible for a complex web application that uses the Spring framework. The team has been tasked with implementing an expressive command input function for the application. The team is using version 2.6.5 of the spring-data-rest-webmvc in the Spring framework. You also want to use the Spring Expression Language to accomplish the task.
Review the resources in this module’s Resources section to learn about the Spring framework.
Directions
As the lead person on this application, you are responsible for making certain that the code is secure. You will need to assess potential vulnerabilities in the code and create a mitigation plan for any existing vulnerabilities that the software development team must address.
To begin, see the vulnerability assessment process flow diagram linked in the Supporting Materials section to help guide your code review and mitigation plan.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
Areas of Security: Review the scenario and use what you know about the architecture of the web application to identify relevant areas of security that are applicable for a software application:
Provide sufficient detail to address which of the seven areas of security are relevant to assess from the first level of the vulnerability assessment process flow diagram.
Document your findings for the software development team in the Module Two Written Assignment Template linked in the What to Submit section.
Areas of Security Justification: Provide a justification and rationale for why each area of security is relevant to the software application.
Code Review Summary: Once you have identified the relevant areas of security to review from the first level of the vulnerability assessment process flow diagram, work through the second level. At this stage, you should complete the following actions:
Manually inspect the code base provided to identify which vulnerabilities exist. To do this, upload the Module Two Written Assignment Code Base linked in the Supporting Materials section as a new project into Eclipse.
Refer to the Uploading Files to Eclipse Desktop Version Tutorial linked in the Supporting Materials section to learn how to open the code base for review.
Document your findings in detail for the software development team in the Module Two Written Assignment Template.
Mitigation Plan: Once you have manually inspected the code and identified the security vulnerabilities, complete the following actions:
Describe potential mitigation techniques. For example, describe secure software designs that you could use to address the software security vulnerabilities you identified.
Refer to the Module Two Resources section for help with this response.
Document your findings for the software development team in the Module Two Written Assignment Template. The software development team will use this plan to address all vulnerabilities in the code.

Competency 3 Statement
Utilizing statistical regression and time series analysis models, you will be able to evaluate and analyze how multiple variables impact an organization. You will also be able to create forecasts and interpret data to analyze performance as it impacts strategic planning and comparative advantage for an organization.
Manipulating data to create models helps us describe and summarize relationships between variables. Understanding how variables relate to each other helps businesses predict performance and make informed strategic plans. For example, to make an informed recommendation to management regarding which types of office buildings to acquire or sell, you would model the relationship between assessed value and given variables.
This reflection gives you an opportunity to develop, evaluate, and apply bivariate and multivariate linear regression models, and then reflect on office buildings you recommend acquiring and selling, and why.
​​​​​​​
Pre-Reflection Exercise
Download the Competency 3 Reflection Data Set. The data set is information about the tax assessment value assigned to medical office buildings in a city. The following is a list of the variables in the database:
Floor Area: square feet of floor space
Offices: number of offices in the building
Entrances: number of customer entrances
Age: age of the building (years)
Assessed Value: tax assessment value (thousands of dollars)
As you work through the following exercises, note your answers to the given questions so you can easily summarize them in your reflection.
Use the data set to construct a model that predicts the tax assessment value assigned to medical office buildings with specific characteristics.
1. Construct a scatter plot in Excel with Floor Area as the independent variable and Assessment Value as the dependent variable. Insert the bivariate linear regression equation and R2 in your graph. 
Do you observe a linear relationship between the 2 variables?
2. Use Excels Analysis ToolPak to conduct a regression analysis of Floor Area and Assessment Value. 
Is Floor Area a significant predictor of Assessment Value?
3. Construct a scatter plot in Excel with Age as the independent variable and Assessment Value as the dependent variable. Insert the bivariate linear regression equation and R2 in your graph. 
Do you observe a linear relationship between the 2 variables?
4. Use Excels Analysis ToolPak to conduct a regression analysis of Age and Assessment Value. 
Is Age a significant predictor of Assessment Value?
Construct a multiple regression model.
Use Excels Analysis ToolPak to conduct a regression analysis with Assessment Value as the dependent variable and Floor Area, Offices, Entrances, and Age as independent variables. 
What is the overall fit R2? What is the adjusted R2?
Which predictors are considered significant if we work with α=0.05? Which predictors can be eliminated?
What is the final model if we only use Floor Area and Offices as predictors?
Suppose our final model is: Assessed Value = 115.9 + 0.26 x Floor Area + 78.34 x Offices. 
What would be the assessed value of a medical office building with a floor area of 3500 sq. ft., 2 offices, that was built 15 years ago? 
Is this assessed value consistent with what appears in the database?
Reflection
In a minimum of 500 words, reflect on the types of medical offices you would advise management to close and open, and why. Use your exercise notes to support your rationale.

Competency 2 Statement
Utilizing statistical probability models, you will be able to evaluate and analyze business data under uncertainty conditions. You will also be able to create and test hypotheses and draw conclusions based on samples of data.
Reflection
Consider the following:
Many business activities generate data that can be thought of as random. An example described in the textbook is the servicing of cars at an oil change shop. Each car entering the shop can be considered an experiment with random outcomes. A variable of interest in this experiment could be the amount of time necessary to service the car. Service time will vary randomly with each car. Often, we can capture the most relevant characteristics of a stochastic process with a simple probability distribution model. We can then analyze the model to make predictions and drive decisions. For instance, we could estimate the number of technicians the oil change shop needs to service demand on a Saturday afternoon.
Respond to the following questions:
What is a random variable? 
How would you differentiate a discrete from a continuous random variable?
A laptop manufacturing company has implemented a 2-step process to test the quality of each production batch. In the first step, a technician randomly selects 15 laptops from the batch and determines whether they meet specifications. The batch is considered acceptable provided no more than 1 laptop fails to meet specifications. Otherwise, the entire batch has to be tested in the second step. Historical data shows that 95% of the laptops produced adhere to specifications.
Reflect on the following in a minimum of 500 words:
What are the 4 characteristics of a binomial experiment?
Can we use a binomial distribution to model this process?
What is the probability that the entire batch unnecessarily has to be tested if in fact 95% of its laptops conform to specifications? (Hint: Use Excels =BINOMDIST() function to find the probability)
What is the probability that the batch is incorrectly accepted if only 75% of its laptops actually conform to specifications?
What situations in your organization might this type of analysis apply to? Explain.
