An important issue facing the network and its security is the spread of malicious software. There are reports regularly about organizations that have been impacted by malicious software.

• Prepare a paper that discusses this issue. The paper should identify and describe various issues related to network security, including (but not limited to) the following:
  • Viruses
  • Worms
  • Buffer overflows
  • Network traffic pilfering
  • Man-in-the middle attacks
• Provide recommendations for mechanisms that can be applied to reduce the spread and impact of each.
• How would you integrate and incorporate those mechanisms into an existing network environment?

Submit your paper in Word. It should 3-4 pages (excluding title page, abstract and references page), professionally presented and use APA format. An introduction and conclusion are required.

A large supermarket chain would like to know what factors influence potential customers to come to their supermarkets. They have asked you to investigate this and build a regression model to estimate the number of customers that use any one of their present supermarkets. This model will then be used to provide information to determine whether to locate new supermarkets in specific towns. What could these influential factors be? Which of these factors could be used in a regression model? How would you go about developing the model? If you were successful in developing a model, what notes of caution would you give the supermarket in using this model?
