Narrated PowerPoint Presentation

Social, Cultural, and Ethical Issues

For your Final Project, you will create a PowerPoint presentation based on a topic from your current field of study. Since this is a fully online course and we do not meet in person in a traditional classroom setting, you will need to narrate this presentation so it can be viewed electronically.

To assist in the completion of your Final Project, some of the required pieces are included in this course as Milestones. These Milestones are completed throughout the course by the student and the instructor will provide feedback for each Milestone, in order to help the student better the overall quality of their project.  See below where the milestones align with the Final Project requirements.

Topic:

Choose a social, cultural, or ethical issue related to your current major or field of study. Chose ONE area to focus on. For example, you cannot talk about ethics in healthcare, public safety, or IT in general. You would need to pick a single ethical issue to discuss and not just ethics in general. (Milestone 2 & 3)

Research:

Conduct a search using both internet and library database resources. You must use at least 3 sources, one of which must be from the library database. Keep track of these sources! You will need to include a reference slide at the end of your presentation. (Milestone 4)

Create a NARRATED PowerPoint presentation that contains between 12 to 18 slides. You must add your voice using the narration feature in PPT. Include the following:

Title Slide (1 slide) – includes your name and the presentation title. (Milestone 2)

Introduction Slide (1 slide) – should be something catchy and explain why this issue is important. (Milestone 3)

Body/Content Slides (8-14 slides) – must be interesting, well organized, and presented clearly. Slides should not contain full sentences/paragraphs.
Summary Slide (1 slide) – may also include a way for others to get involved, help, or get more information.

Include a footer on each slide with the slide number and your last name.

Narration:

To earn full points, your presentation must be narrated. Do NOT read word for word from your slides. Slides should only contain bulleted information, but full sentences should be spoken!  The narration audio should start automatically when you start the slideshow and should continue through the entire presentation.

Submission:

Please upload your completed PowerPoint project with a filename formatted as:

As an Information Assurance and Security Specialist the job role would be making sure that the organization is secured with all the correct standards and protocols. Some best practices would be to implement a formal IS Governance Approach, stop data loss, detect insider threat, back up all data, and being aware of social engineering, along with many other things to consider. Implementing a formal IS governance approach allows a company to establish and maintain an information security framework. The framework is design to align the assurance strategies and support the business. It extremely vital to have a security mechanism in place to stop or prevent data lost. Losing data can cause a company’s failure and trust of a consumer. A recent survey found that data stolen or misused from vendors and contractors as well as employees. With data being exposed to employees and outside vendors, there needs to be some line of defense to monitor user activity to detect any insider threat. Looking for unauthorized behaviors and making sure no one is violating the security policy. Back up of data can be crucial too, especially when there is a major disaster and/or breach of a system. Social engineering is becoming more and more popular as technology continues to increase. Having the correct training and knowledge keeps all employees aware of what social engineering is and how to mitigate anyone from trying to gain any sensitive information. (Donovan, 2017)

As an information security analysts the expectations are to plan and carry out security measures to protect the organization’s computer network and systems. While working on a project the most important requirements are confidentiality, integrity and availability. Confidentiality in my role is where I would help control who gets to read any information. Integrity, I will help assure that information and programs are change in a specified and authorize manner. Availability would be assuring that authorized users have access to the information and resources.

While working on the current project, I believe we will be successful as long as protocols and standards are followed and done correctly. Implementing a security policy will allow the organization to be profitable and grow. It takes a team for a business to strive and grow. Making sure that all employees are well trained and is aware of expectations of the company we have no choice but to strive for greatness.

Working with a team to complete a project is critical for success. Some best practices that a team member or an effective team should have are:

• Being confident, not arrogant: Being confident is speaking up when something comes to mind, so that your opinion could be heard and possibly used.
• Good Communicator: Communication is the key! Without it someone could be left out, not know what is expected, and possibly be slower. Everyone on the team should be well aware of the expectations, a timeline and how the team is progressing. This will help make sure things are done effectively and efficient for sure.
• Responsibility and loyalty: Being accountable for your own actions, mistakes and successes helps lessen confusion and keeps the ball rolling. Loyalty is hand and hand, I would say. Because being loyal to me is being responsible and willing to go to the end weather its good or bad. There may be times when the project becomes to stressful or you just feel like you can’t do. Staying loyal and strong will help get you to the end. (Clarizen, 2017)

What security considerations are involved?

Since I recommend a cloud-based network Verbania would need a cloud-based security software and a security software for their office computers. Cloud-based security offer the same functionalities as you would with any traditional IT security such as protecting your important information from theft, data leakage and deletion. The great aspect of having a cloud-based security is that you will operate at different levels and still be protected.  Another aspect of cloud-based security it allows you attack the threat from different angles verse traditional IT security. With cloud-based security most company have their data center located in different country that have strict laws on how people can gain access to your company data and by having multiply data center in different country you will have a greater chance of protecting your important asset from data leakage and deletion.

Third-Party Data Centers

In-House Data Centers

Low Upfront Infrastructure Investments

High Upfront Costs

Quickly Utilization

Lower Efficiency

Reduced Time to Market

Longer Time to Market

Usage-Based Cost

Higher Cost

Quick scalable

Slow Scaling

The next security you must worry about is the security on your company computer. I recommend Verbania to go with McAfee Security Suite. The reason I choose the software is that I can protect the company across multiply device that may connect to the company network and do work on it also; if the company allow the employees to connect their personal devices to the network it can install the software to the devices to protect the company from external threats (McAfee, n.d.).
