...| Admission Essay to University of Miami Elizabeth Akande | | | My name is Elizabeth Akande and I am seeking for an admission into the Master’s degree program at University of Miami (UM) at the School of Nursing. I have always believed in giving back to the community and in sharing my competencies and skills with others. My desire to help people in the field of nursing has powered my decision to take up a graduate degree in Nursing. Overcoming the many challenges in my life has helped me to believe that I can reach any goal I have set for myself, and one of these lifelong goals is to become a nurse practitioner and to obtain my graduate diploma from a respectable institution. I have had my fair share of obstacles and trials, and if not for the generosity and kindness of others and of the Almighty God, I may not have gone this far in my journey. My life has been one great challenge, but the trials that I have faced did not discourage me from my goals. Taking care of my family, working full time, and looking after my two elderly parents may not be the picture of a perfect life, but I have managed to make the best use of my time and my resources, to give equal attention to the people I love as well as the career that I have chosen for myself. My father has had spinal stenosis for 16 years now and is currently living with me. My mother, who is now 73 years old, also...

...The United States Air Force Blueprint for Cyberspace November 2, 2009 Foreword Cyberspace is a critical global domain, in which the USAF will conduct integrated operations in support of Joint Force Commanders’ needs. The United States is not alone in recognizing the asymmetrical advantages of this domain. Potential adversaries worldwide are rapidly improving or pursuing their own cyber capabilities. Attempts to disrupt or penetrate our networks are relentless. The blueprint that follows provides a framework to meet these challenges by evolving our culture and improving our capabilities. Air Force Space Command as the lead USAF Major Command (MAJCOM) for cyberspace will execute this blueprint as a unified effort--working closely within the Air Force, and with sister services, combatant commands, Joint Staff and other partners to fully provide the necessary capabilities for the future.

...rescue mission was the riskiest that “could be taken militarily without engaging in an outright act of war.” Although this option had a low probability of success like sanctions, the retrieval of hostages was considered “paramount for personal, political, and international reasons.” At the time, those close to Carter perceived the mission as “more easily containable and less prone to uncontrollable escalation” than mining the harbors or conducting military strikes. The Carter Administration thus evaluated the mission as the only option with both the perfect balance of minimal political and military risks as well as the only option that would allow Carter to recover his losses and make additional gains. If successful, the hostages would return home, Carter’s approval ratings would improve in time for reelection, and America’s international prestige and the status quo would be restored. If unsuccessful, tensions would escalate with Iran and potentially place the lives of the hostages at risk. It was also possible that Carter’s image would be tainted internationally and he would lose the election. Using prospect theory, it is important to note that Carter advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski, who strongly supported the mission, framed the decision based on his notion of the importance of the hostages’ safety in addition to preserving America’s national power and prestige. Unlike Vance,...

...+922135293208 1 pm.prss@suparco.gov.pk 2 fyk73@yahoo.com 3 asma.riaz21@yahoo.com Abstract— It is a very well established and understood aspect, that to be successful in a mission/project, the executing organization must be dedicated to deal with the management of the risks, proactively and constantly, during all the phases of the project/ mission. In fact the mission risks have their origins in the unpredictability factor that is there in all the missions; whereas the major aims of the risk management strategy are to maximize the likelihood and consequence of the constructive actions, and minimize the possibility and consequence of the actions undesirable to the mission. The Cooperation European for Space Standardization (ECSS), Management of Risks standard provides a state of the art model for integrated risk management, in space related projects; describing the principles and requirements, to enforce a mission-incorporated, management of risks policy, undertaken by the mission stakeholders. In this presented research work, we have customized the Risk Management ECSS standard, for the specific characteristics and constraints of the remote sensing satellite mission project of the Pakistan Space Agency (SUPARCO). After a brief back ground and theory of the risk management domain, the implementation plan/system of the risk management procedures for the Pakistan Space Agency’s remote sensing satellite, are presented; a system is developed for the risk ...

...of emerging technologies, to be able to make recommendations to upper management. The sophistication and organization of those intent on breaching systems of today has never been greater, and they will only get better as time goes on. The purpose of this of this outline is to provide necessary information for the Networking Division Monthly Report, aimed at addressing security concerns for the seven domains of IT infrastructure for Richmond Investments. Beginning with the User Domain, the first and most important step to be taken is education of all employees on the Policies and Procedures that are already in place. It is recommended that monthly training take place and be documented. There should also be monthly auditing, to ensure that the training is taking place, who is participating, and that report should be seen by upper management. The Users should be aware of the consequences of violations of the security policy, and they should expect and anticipate that there will be random and routine monitoring of their actions. Actions to protect the Workstation Domain is also a critical link, since most of the issues can originate from this location. Strict access privilege should be implemented and enforced. The use of protective programs, such as malware and virus detection and eradication is paramount. Very stringent control should be placed upon what the Users can or cannot insert into the workstations is a key safeguard, via media ports, such as thumb drives,...

...o User Domain • Conduct security awareness training, insert reminders in banner greetings, and send e-mail reminders to employees. • Enable automatic antivirus scans for inserted media drives, files, and e-mail attachments. Set up antivirus scanning for e-mails with attachments. • Enable content filtering and antivirus scanning for e-mail attachments. Content filtering network devices are configured to permit or deny specific domain names in accordance with AUP definition. • Track and monitor abnormal employee behavior and use of IT infrastructure during off-hours. • Enable intrusion detection system/intrusion prevention system (IDS/IPS) monitoring for sensitive employee position and access. Alarms and alerts programmed within an IDS/IPS help identify abnormal traffic and can block IP traffic as per policy definition. o Workstation Domain • Enable password protection on workstations for access, Enable auto screen lockout for inactive times. • Define workstation operating system vulnerability window policy definition. A vulnerability window is the gap in time that you leave a computer unpatched with a security update. • Use workstation antivirus and malicious code policies, standards, procedures, and guidelines. o LAN Domain • Make sure wiring closets, data centers, and computer rooms are secure. Do not allow anyone access without proper ID. • Define a strict software vulnerability window policy...

...(OUTLINE) FOR RICHMAN INVESTMEN The following Multi-Layered Security Plan outline I am submitting for approval and implementation for Richman Investments, will provide a sound security plan for the firms most important mission critical assets, identifying and reducing vulnerabilities, Risks and threats to the firms confidential proprietary intelligence, sensitive customer data and other important assets within each of the Seven Domains that make up the core for the IT infrastructure as a whole. An aggressive approach should be mapped out in a 3-5 year progressive implementation achievement plan starting with one or two security initiatives where success can be clearly demonstrated and evaluated. The FFIEC now has mandated financial institutions mitigate online threats by intergrading endpoint encryption pushing it out to all users in a non pre-boot fashion then using the console to migrate users to pre-boot encryption which would provide immediate protection and increased visibility and control of our overall risk posture. First, indentifying Risk, Threat and Vulnerabilities within each of the seven Domains that make-up the firms IT infrastructure. Secondly, proposed security measures and controls for headquarters and each branch office.

...threats that may bypass one level are dealt with at another. In addition, layering security helps mitigate the risk of an employee who disables protection on his or her desktop. The gateway serves as an entry and exit point to the company network. By installing a security solution such as antivirus and content filtering at this tier, mass-mailer worms are scanned and deleted and spam is moved to quarantines. Mail servers should also be equipped with security. These systems receive, send, and store email, and an email security solution work together with the email program to provide a greater degree of protection against malicious code. The User Domain defines the people who access an organization’s information system. Users can access systems, applications, and data depending upon their defined access rights. In this domain is where you will find an acceptable use policy (AUP), which defines what users are allowed to do with organization-owned IT assets. It’s like a rule book that employees must follow....

...* User Domain - defines the people who access the organization’s information system. * User Accountability – the most important measure to be taken in this domain is to make sure that the users are well trained and are aware of the risks that are out there. * Workstation Domain - Any device that users use to connect to your network. * Viruses or malware – to keep viruses and malware at bay it is best to use workstation antivirus software frequently and definitely keep this software up to date. As without the updates antivirus software is almost worthless. * LAN Domain – consists of all machines connected to your network in a local setting. * Unauthorized access to the LAN commonly comes from unlocked wiring closets and data-centers. Simply keep these items under lock and key and well organized and at least the hard lines are secure. * LAN-to-WAN Domain – where the IT infrastructure links to a wide area network and the Internet. * If local users download unknown file type attachments from unknown sources, then you should apply file transfer monitoring, scanning, and alarming for unknown file types from unknown sources. * WAN Domain- connects remote locations to your domain. * If you are vulnerable to eavesdropping, use encryption and VPN tunnels for end to end secure IP communications. Also, follow your data classification standards and guidelines. * Remote Access Domain- connects remote users to your domain...
