IMPORTANT \/ HELPFUL FORUM DISCUSSION NOTES: <\/strong><\/p>\n You will post one response to the forum discussion prompt and a \u201cminimum of two responses (more \u201csubstantive\u201d responses for a \u201csuperior\u201d score) to your classmates (or instructor, if a follow-up question is asked) each discussion week (weeks 1 \u2013 3 and 5 \u2013 7).\u201cSingle space only\u201d in forums. Importantly, to keep everyone on the same sheet of music, \u201cpost only during the current course week\u201d (do \u201cnot\u201d post in advance).<\/p>\n The response to each forum prompt must be a minimum of \u201c500 words<\/strong>\u201d in length (\u201cexcluding\u201d the directions, questions, quotations, notes, or references).\u00a0 <\/strong>Each of the required two responses to your classmates (or instructor) must be a minimum of \u201c200 words<\/strong>\u201d in length.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Threats & Countermeasures Project Presentation<\/strong>:<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Identify and explain three<\/strong> \u201cspecific\u201d <\/em>21st century security<\/strong> threats discussed \u201canywhere\u201d in our textbook. Secondly, identify and relate countermeasures(security<\/strong> strategies, tactics, countermeasures, etc.) to prevent and\/or mitigate the specific threats.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Explain each of your three threats in three separate project sections (one for each threat). Each threat section of your project must be \u201cconcisely<\/strong>\u201d \u201ctitled<\/strong>\u201dwith the name of the threat <\/em>(e.g. Insider Threats; Perimeter Threats; etc.).Following each threat section, a detailed and \u201ctitled\u201d \u201ccountermeasures\u201d\u201csub<\/em>-section\u201d must be included. <\/strong>Each countermeasure should be a third level sub-heading. For example, ABC Threat (heading), Countermeasures (sub-heading), and then each specific countermeasure (third level sub-heading<\/strong>).<\/p>\n NOTE: Include extensive speaker notes on each slide.\u00a0 Speaker notes are just as you would be presenting the presentation to an audience.\u00a0 Lack of, or inadequate speaker notes will result in a substantial deduction in your overall grade.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Mandatory<\/em><\/strong> Project Format<\/strong> (sequence and specific headings):<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Slide 1:<\/strong><\/p>\n Title slide (similar to an APA title page \u2013 title, name, date, etc., but no running head)<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Slide 2:<\/strong><\/p>\n Introduction <\/strong>(do not forget to introduce your project)<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Slide 3 to as necessary:<\/strong><\/p>\n Threat #1<\/strong> \u2013 Title<\/em> a specific \u201cthreat\u201d (e.g., Insider Cyber Threats \u2013 do use threat #1 or Insider Cyber \u201cSecurity<\/em>\u201d \u2013 \u201csecurity\u201d is not a threat; be concise and ensure \u201cThreat is in the title<\/strong>). Do not<\/strong> use locations, vulnerabilities or some other type of general research topic.\u00a0 Ensure each threat is specific<\/em><\/strong> (e.g., employee theft threats, commercial robbery threats, airline terrorism threats, cargo theft threats, insider cyber threats, etc.) and \u201cnot\u201d<\/strong> broad\/general threats (e.g., internal threats, external threats, terrorism threats, transportation threats, cyber threats, etc.).<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Countermeasures <\/strong>(general introduction to your specific countermeasures to follow)<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Specific Countermeasure (security<\/strong> strategy, tactic, etc. specific to the identified\/discussed<\/strong> threat)<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Specific Countermeasure <\/strong>(continue for as many countermeasures you have identified)<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Next Slide<\/strong> to as necessary<\/strong><\/p>\n Threat #2<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Countermeasures <\/strong>(general introduction to your specific countermeasures to follow)<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Specific Countermeasure (security<\/strong> strategy, tactic, etc. specific to the identified\/discussed<\/strong> threat)<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Specific Countermeasure <\/strong>(continue for as many countermeasures you have identified)<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Next Slide to as necessary<\/strong><\/p>\n Threat #3<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Countermeasures <\/strong>(general introduction to your specific countermeasures to follow)<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Specific Countermeasure (security<\/strong> strategy, tactic, etc. specific to the identified\/discussed<\/strong> threat)<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Specific Countermeasure <\/strong>(continue for as many countermeasures you have identified)<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Next Slide<\/strong><\/p>\n Conclusion (title this section Conclusion) Common point loss<\/strong> for those who omit this slide.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Final Slide\/s<\/strong><\/p>\n References: <\/strong>Use a minimum of six<\/strong> \u201coutside\u201d (non<\/strong>-textbook) credible sources to support your research project. Your final slide<\/strong> will be titled References.Recall to adhere to the APA for reference formatting: alphabetize(common point loss), only first initials for first names (common point loss), double space references, use a second\/third line 0.5\u201d hanging indent, References must have matching in-text citations in the body of your project (and vice versa). <\/strong>Do \u201cnot\u201d list only electronic links\/websites.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Length Requirements<\/strong>: Each threat and countermeasures section must be aminimum <\/em>of three slides; maximum of four slides.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Most points awarded will be derived from the countermeasures portion of project. Therefore, the threat portion of each section should be relatively short with the majority of each section addressing how to counter (deter\/prevent and\/or mitigate) the specific threat.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n TIPS<\/strong> to Avoid Loss of Points<\/strong>:<\/strong> Follow all above instructions.Do \u201cnot\u201d use contractions (don\u2019t, isn\u2019t, etc.) or \u201cI,\u201d \u201cme,\u201d \u201cyou,\u201d \u201cwe,\u201d and \u201cher\/him\u201d in academic writing. Avoid \u201ccrowding\u201d slides<\/strong> with too much content (words, generally). Use the speaker notes section at the bottom the slide to place most of your wording.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Tips for a High Quality\/Superior Slide Presentation<\/strong>: Enhance your slides with data (charts, graphs, etc.) and perhaps some professional graphics (images, diagrams, etc.) and \u201csome\u201d color to make it more content rich and visually appealing. \u201cOnly\u201d presentations that follow the above directions and are both content rich and visually appealing will receive \u201csuperior scores.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Projects must be submitted\/uploaded into Assignments as an attached \u201cMS PowerPoint\u201d document only for grading.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The student must ensure the syllabus requirements for assignments are met.\u00a0 Reminder: 500 words minimum for initial post and 200 words for student responses.\u00a0 Initial posts are due no later than 11:55PM EST on Friday and student responses are due Read More …<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-94242","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.benedictsol.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94242","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.benedictsol.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.benedictsol.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.benedictsol.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.benedictsol.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=94242"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.benedictsol.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94242\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.benedictsol.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=94242"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.benedictsol.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=94242"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.benedictsol.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=94242"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
