System Management And Backup

Overview

Information security has become a bit of a cat-and-mouse game between network and server administrators and security managers on one side, and those with an interest in exploiting and damaging the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of enterprise information assets on the other. Two of the activities that may serve as effective controls against threats to the integrity of mission-critical enterprise data include proactive patch management and automated backups stored both locally and remotely.

In this assignment you analyze aspects of patch management and data backup and restore

Analyze aspects of data backup and restore and patch management. Do the following:

• Explain three best practices for data backup and restore to prevent data loss.
• Describe three tools that are available to network and server administrators to ensure that system patches and data backups are occurring effectively.
• Describe important things to consider when deploying system patches.

Analysis in Software Development Project Management

Write a 1–2 page executive summary that describes the synergy between software development cycles and data analytics, and why data analytics should be applied to a software development life cycle. In this assignment, you will describe a software that needs to be developed, a software development life cycle, and a rationale for the application of data analytics to software development. To complete this assignment, follow these steps:

Use the assignment template to write your executive summary.

Select a type of software that needs to be developed.

Select a software development life cycle to apply to develop the software.

Provide a rationale and recommendation for the application of data analytics to the selected software development life cycle.

Address these questions in your executive summary:

What were the defining points for the application of data analytics to the software development?

What were the reasons? 

How does data analytics help a project manager visualize and interpret the software development life cycle successfully?

Where will the use of data analytics take software development in the future?

Software Development Project Management

Consider how data analytics can address issues in software development, and why data analytic skills are desired for successful software project managers.

Cybersecurity Careers And Professions

Cybersecurity is a fast-growing field of IT concerned with reducing the risk of an organization experiencing hacking or a data breach. In an annual survey by Enterprise Strategy Group with IT professionals in organizations across the globe, 45 percent of organizations said that they had a “problematic shortage” of cybersecurity skills in 2016, up from 42 percent in 2015 (Oltsik, 2019). Commercial, governmental, and nongovernmental organizations employ cybersecurity professionals. The fastest increases in demand for cybersecurity workers are in industries managing increasing volumes of consumer data such as finance, health care, and retail. However, the use of the term cybersecurity is more prevalent in government job descriptions.

In your discussion, include the following considerations:

• Research the government agencies listed for cybersecurity focus. What is the intent of the agencies and core of their mission? How successful have they been in supporting cybersecurity? Is this intention woven into their mission statement and vision?
• Familiarize yourself with the varieties and subtle differences in cybersecurity professions and describe your impressions. Are there new titles? More current? What are the differences and similarities (if any)?  What skills, talents, or characteristics are needed to succeed in the professions you are examining?
• Review information for cyber analysts and other titles in related areas. Which positions appeal to you? Why? Do you have experience in this field? What did you find interesting? What skills, certifications, or experience are needed to succeed in that position? 

Security Consultant/Specialist/Intelligence

Protects computers, networks, software, data, or information systems against viruses, worms, spyware, malware, intrusion detection, unauthorized access, denial-of-service attacks, and an ever increasing list of attacks by hackers acting as individuals or as part of organized crime or foreign governments. These broad titles encompass any one or all of the other roles or titles tasked with cybersecurity.
