COM 510 – Management of Information Security
Project Guidelines
Project Description
Carry out a security self-assessment of an organization using the NIST Special Publication 800-26 as a guide. This may be your current or previous employer or your own organization. You must seek permission from the individual responsible for the information security of that organization.
The SP 800-26 document is a self-assessment guide used to assess the IT system of an organization. This document is no longer available from NIST but it is contained in Appendix A at the end of the textbook (pp. 471-491). You may use this appendix as a guide. It is recommend that you use primary areas such as Management controls, Operational controls, Technical controls, etc., as a guide to assess a system.
A new publication, SP 800-53A “Guide for Assessing the Security Controls in Federal Information Systems,” is available for download from the NIST website at: http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/nistpubs/800-53A-rev1/sp800-53A-rev1-final.pdf.
At the moment this document is in draft form. Those of you who are working or are experienced in Federal IT Systems, may use this publication as an alternative to SP 800-26.
Basically you have a choice of using SP 800-26 or 53A.
Report
Write a report based on the self-assessment of an organization. It should be 4-5 pages long, 12 point character size, single line spacing, and have 1” margins on all sides. It is recommended that you do not use the actual name of the organization in the report; use a title, such as “ABC, Inc.” Your report should include a brief description of the organization, nature of the business, analysis of the results, and recommendations for improvement in the form of an action plan.
You should also prepare a PowerPoint presentation (10-15 slides) explaining the results and recommendations of your assessment to senior management of the organization.
Deliverables:
1. Word document containing report
2. PowerPoint file containing presentation
Submit your project to the Security Assessment Dropbox no later than 11:59 PM Sunday EST/EDT of Module 8.

. Develop your thesis

. Be sure to cite following the APA 6th edition format

. Make sure to show how it supports the main idea.

.Question 1:

Figures and beliefs of Greek mythology (including deities) can be identified in many types of Greek art. Cite important examples and explain their significance. Representations of humans in ancient Greek sculpture evolved from static, conventionalized forms to more naturalistic and expressionistic figures. How can we see this progression in examples from different periods? 

While it is true the Romans were great copiers of the art and architecture of Greek art, they were also inventive and innovative in a number of areas. Cite at least four examples of where the Romans displayed originality in art and architecture and explain specifically how this originality was shown. Discuss the areas in which, you feel, they displayed the most originality, and explain what factors were present in their culture to foster such originality.

Question 2:

Iconic and narrative images are significant types of early Christian representations. Identify examples of storytelling and symbolism in painted, carved, or mosaic Christian works. Byzantine conventions of representation differ significantly from Jewish and other Christian traditions. Identify contrasting examples that illustrate these differences for the presentation of human figures. What do those characteristic differences reflect for each faith practice?
