Does cryptocurrency show as much financial success as it’s advertised?

Topic/Question : “Does cryptocurrency show as much financial success as it’s advertised?”
Attached is a screenshot of search terms to utilize when searching online.
Go to social media and use search terms or hashtags that relate to the terms above and see what comes up. Twitter is likely a good place to find academics and experts. At the top of twitter after you search there are five different choices: “Top” “Latest” “People” “Photos” “Videos”. Go to “People” look at their descriptions and see if the descriptions are interesting/relevant. If they aren’t, try some different search terms. If they click through to their profile page and see what they are tweeting about and see the link to a website that they provide.

You might also find links to organizational twitter accounts which is sufficient too. Finding institutions that are relevant to the subject should be included.

Document what you find and create a list labelled “Social Media”. Be sure to record the links in the list as well. A list for the twitter handle, one for the name, and a link to the account is ideal. Include recent tweets that link to potentially relevant information (this can just be posted as a separate list of links).

Finally pick 3 people and 3 institutions that you found and summarize who they are and what you learned about them from twitter by looking at their tweets and going to the site they link to on the site.

You can do this either in narrative form OR in an organized way in a spreadsheet.

Describe the security concepts and concerns for databases.

Modern health care systems incorporate databases for effective and efficient management of patient health care. Databases are vulnerable to cyberattacks and must be designed and built with security controls from the beginning of the life cycle.
Although hardening the database early in the life cycle is better, security is often incorporated after deployment, forcing hospital and health care IT professionals to play catch-up. Database security requirements should be defined at the requirements stage of acquisition and procurement.
System security engineers and other acquisition personnel can effectively assist vendors in building better health care database systems by specifying security requirements up front within the request for proposal (RFP). In this project, you will be developing an RFP for a new medical health care database management system.
As the contracting officer’s technical representative (COTR), you are the liaison between your hospital and potential vendors. It is your duty to provide vendors with an overview of your organization. To do so, identify information about your hospital. Conduct independent research on hospital database management. Think about the hospital’s different organizational needs. What departments or individuals will use the Security Concerns Common to All RDBMSs, and for what purposes?
Provide an overview with the types of data that may be stored in the system and the importance of keeping these data secure. Include this information in the RFP.
After the overview is complete, move to the next step to provide context for the vendors with an overview of needs.
Now that you have provided vendors with an overview of your hospital’s needs, you will provide the vendors with a context for the work needed.
Since you are familiar with the application and implementation, give guidance to the vendors by explaining the attributes of the database and by describing the environment in which it will operate. Details are important in order for the vendors to provide optimal services.
It is important to understand the vulnerability of a relational database management system (RDBMS). Read the following resources about RDBMSs.
error handling and information leakage
insecure handling
cross-site scripting (XSS/CSRF) flaws
SQL injections
insecure configuration management
authentication (with a focus on broken authentication)
access control (with a focus on broken access control)
Describe the security concepts and concerns for databases.
Identify at least three security assurance and security functional requirements for the database that contain information for medical personnel and emergency responders.
Include this information in the RFP.
In the next step, you will provide security standards for the vendors.
In the previous step, you added context for the needed work. Now, provide a set of internationally recognized standards that competing vendors will incorporate into the database. These standards will also serve as a checklist to measure security performance and security processes.
Read the following resources to prepare:
database models
Common Criteria (CC) for information technology security evaluation
evaluated assurance levels (EALs)
continuity of service
Address the concepts and issues with respect to disasters and disaster recovery, mission continuity, threats, and cyberattacks.
Include these security standards in the RFP.
In the next step, you will describe defense models for the RFP.
Now that you have established security standards for the RFP, you will define the use of defense models. This information is important since the networking environment will have numerous users with different levels of access.
Provide requirements in the RFP for the vendor to state its overall strategy for defensive principles. Explain the importance of understanding these principles. To further your understanding, click the link and read about defensive principles.
Read these resources on enclave computing environment:
enclave/computing environment
cyber operations in DoD policy and plans
Explain how enclave computing relates to defensive principles. The network domains should be at different security levels, have different levels of access, and different read and write permissions.
Define enclave computing boundary defense.
Include enclave firewalls to separate databases and networks.
Define the different environments you expect the databases to be working in and the security policies applicable.
Provide this information in the RFP.
In the next step, you will consider database defenses.
In the previous step, you identified defense requirements for the vendor. In this step of the RFP, you will focus on the structure of the system.
Provide requirement statements for a web interface to:
Allow patients and other health care providers to view, modify, and update the database.
Allow integrated access across multiple systems.
Prevent data exfiltration through external media.
State these requirements in the context of the medical database. Include this information in the RFP.
In the next step, you will outline operating system security components.
In this final step, you will compile the RFP for a secure health care database management system. Review the document to make sure nothing is missed before submission. Submit the following deliverables to your assignment folder.

Discuss ethical issues in data and analytics for your current industry or an industry you wish to work in.

Data is an important part of business and operations. As such, data privacy and appropriate handling of information is crucial for accurate tracking and monitoring of ethical practices. Your knowledge and understanding of ethical and legitimate use of data is vital as you validate your analyses of the superstore in your role as a business consultant.
In this scenario, you are a business consultant trainee working with a superstore. Your vice president of operations has asked you to share your general understanding of ethics in data analytics. This will give the vice president an opportunity to evaluate your ability to implement ethics in your business consulting projects. This will also help you to prevent potential ethical issues and concerns arising due to unethical or illegal usage, analysis, and presentation of data.
You will share your understanding by discussing potential data analytics ethical issues related to either your current career/industry or one that you aspire to work in. The issues you outline should be specifically related to data and analytics. You will then compare these ethical issues to potential ethical issues the superstore should consider relating to the retail industry. This short paper will also help you understand how to use data sets consciously and ethically for different analyses and presentations.

Studies on learned helplessness often include reference to early concepts of internal and external locus of control. Through the lens of this framework, an individual with a perceived internal focus of control believes that personal behaviors, skills, and internal disposition are responsible for the experiences that he/she has in life. Contrastingly, an individual with a perceived external locus of control believes that outside factors and circumstances are more influential in determining his/her experiences (Rotter, 1966).
Next, respond to the following:
1. Are you more of an internal or external locus of control type of person? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each type?
2. How could you use this information to improve your stress management?
Be sure to incorporate at least 1 credible resource in addition to the etext to support your statements.
