Discuss suggestions for integrating COSO framework compliance into a company in which you are familiar.

The COSO framework of internal controls is practiced within companies around the world. The objectives of the COSO framework are closely related to its five components. For this week’s activity, please discuss these five components of the COSO framework. Be sure to include each components’ impact on each of the COSO framework objectives. What do you feel an auditor would most be concerned with during an IT audit? Lastly, discuss suggestions for integrating COSO framework compliance into a company in which you are familiar.

Distinguish between traditional criminal justice roles, function, theories, and concepts as a reactive institution to the security roles a preventive societal institution.

Your research proposal will be based on an “issue or problem” aligned with the requirements and criteria for obtaining the BA Degree in Security Management. The essential criteria include the seven undergraduate security management program learning outcome objectives:

·  Identify organizational security risk exposure; identify cost-effective mitigation

strategies; and prepare for recovery strategies.

·  Employ the use of risk analysis and vulnerability assessment processes.

·  Critically examine the variety and extent of losses from criminal acts, natural disasters, and security breaches facing society.

·  Analyze or compare and contrast concepts of information security, personnel security, and physical security and determine the planning approaches to prevent business losses.

·  Analyze the trends affecting security and loss prevention and determine the approaches to reduce losses facing businesses and institutions.

·  Evaluate, from a multi-disciplinary approach, non-traditional approaches to crime prevention.

·  Distinguish between traditional criminal justice roles, function, theories, and concepts as a reactive institution to the security roles a preventive societal institution.

Your research application will propose an examination of a current issue or problem in security management.

You are to compare and contrast the selected issue or problem with past, present and potential future trends or solutions. Alternatively, you may compare and contrast the experience of organizations affected by a security industry trend or whom have developed solutions to the problem and conduct analysis of their success or failure.

Topic Selection: Topic selection may be difficult. Typically, a capstone research candidate has a general idea of an area within the discipline of security management they wish to explore.  Students are encouraged to select a topic they are interested in, but which also has applicability to their organization.  In this instance, personal enjoyment is combined with the satisfaction of potentially improving the security posture of your organization.

Research Topic: Conduct a review of previous studies: Begin your research with the tools and capable librarian/archivists available to you in the APUS Online Research Center.

Distinguish between traditional criminal justice roles, functions and concepts as a reactive institution to the security roles as a preventive societal institution.

Write an essay aligning the following three objectives to your topic.

Some students make the assignment more complicated than it needs to be. Imagine the assignment in this way – there is no capstone paper, you have only been given topic and program objectives. You then answer the question of how that topic relates to the program objectives. That is all you need to do.

1) Identify organizational security risk exposure; identify cost-effective mitigation strategies; and prepare for recovery strategies

2) Analyze concepts of information security, personnel security, and physical security, and determine the planning approaches to prevent business losses

3) Distinguish between traditional criminal justice roles, functions and concepts as a reactive institution to the security roles as a preventive societal institution.

The required format is the same as will be required in the final capstone and it follows:

Topic:

1) Identify organizational security risk exposure; identify cost-effective mitigation strategies; and prepare for recovery strategies

Response:

2) Analyze concepts of information security, personnel security, and physical security, and determine the planning approaches to prevent business losses

Response:

3) Distinguish between traditional criminal justice roles, functions and concepts as a reactive institution to the security roles as a preventive societal institution.

Identify at least one question that the article brings to your mind. Explain why this is a question for you.

Find a scholarly/peer-reviewed journal article which focuses on early literacy development. The article must have been published after 2010. Write a three-to-five-page paper (not including title and reference pages) with proper APA formatting and citations.

Your paper will consist of the following:

  1. Summarize at least four findings or new learning’s from your article.
  2. Describe at least three ways you will apply what you learned to your classroom instruction.
  3. Reflect on at least two concepts from the article that you either agree with and/or disagree with. Explain why.
  4. Identify at least one question that the article brings to your mind. Explain why this is a question for you.

Note: This task is a modification of the 3-2-1 strategy. In developing your lesson plans, you will be modifying strategies to serve your students.

Carefully review the Grading Rubric (Links to an external site.) for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your assignment.

Discuss techniques for combining multiple anomaly detection techniques to improve the identification of anomalous objects. Consider both supervised and unsupervised cases.

1. What is the time and space complexity of fuzzy c-means? Of SOM? How do these complexities compare to those of K-means?

2. Compare the membership weights and probabilities of Figures 8.1 (626 page) and 8.4 (635 page), which come, respectively, from applying fuzzy and EM clustering to the same set of data points. What differences do you detect, and how might you explain these differences?

3. Discuss techniques for combining multiple anomaly detection techniques to improve the identification of anomalous objects. Consider both supervised and unsupervised cases.

Devise and describe a scenario, in your own words, that would give rise to an ethical dilemma.

Devise and describe a scenario, in your own words, that would give rise to an ethical dilemma. Which of the five general APA ethics principles apply to your scenario? Describe how one or more of them apply. If you were a professional brought into the situation to address the scenario, how would you approach it from an ethics standpoint?
