Compose an annotated bibliography of research papers that relate to the issue so your an- notated bibliography will help you (and others) to have a good resource to evaluate and think about the relevance and quality of material on the topic.
Make sure that the information meets the requirements of the topic and is from a reliable and academically respected source. Website references are not permitted unless the website is au- thoritative e.g., an electronic journal such as IEEE X plore digital library or ACM digital library, both of which are available through the university library, or a government site.
What is an annotated bibliography?
An annotated bibliography is a list of citations to books, articles, and documents. Each citation is followed by a brief (usually about 150 – 300 words) descriptive and evaluative paragraph, the annotation. The purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited.
Annotations are NOT abstracts
Abstracts are the purely descriptive summaries often found at the beginning of scholarly journal articles or in periodical indexes. Annotations are descriptive and critical; they expose the authors point of view, clarity and appropriateness of expression, and authority.
General Instructions
The annotated bibliography is to be produced using a word-processor and the EndNote refer- ence database and the Annotate18.ens style file. The submitted document must be in PDF format. The style file will output the citation, the abstract and your annotations, which should
be entered in the Research Notes field. EndNote can be downloaded from https://www.flinders.edu.au/its/computers-and-software/software-licensing/endnote/ endnote_home.cfm

Individual Research Assignment ENGR8762 Computer Networks and Cybersecurity GE The Process
Creating an annotated bibliography calls for the application of a variety of intellectual skills: concise exposition, succinct analysis, and informed library research.
First, locate and record citations to books, periodicals, and documents that may contain useful information and ideas on your topic. Briefly examine and review the actual items. Then choose those works that provide a variety of perspectives on your topic. You may have to quickly review many works before you find good ones. Annotate at least four of these. The length of the annotation will depend on why it has been included and on the source itself.
Cite the book, article, or document, including the abstract.
Write a concise annotation that summarises the central theme and scope of the book or article. Include one or more sentences that
evaluate the authority or background of the author,
comment on the intended audience
compare or contrast this work with another you have cited, or
explain how this work illuminates your bibliography topic.

Good annotations make for excellent papers. You are required to annotate five academic scholarly resources. A scholarly resource is written by an academic scholar, holding a Ph.D. or other terminal degree, is published in a multi-volume, peer-reviewed journal, and has ample references of its own. Successful annotations begin with your introduction (to the best extent you know it at that point in time), capture publication details, briefly summarize a text, locate key terms, find controversies to analyze and evaluate, and assist in the creation of new knowledge.

Assignment: The Job Hire Understanding a model for conflict resolution on a theoretical level is much different from actually addressing the issues of a real conflict, which are fraught with strong emotions and opinions. In this Assignment, you will have the opportunity to evaluate a real-world situation. The Boundary Model from the Conflict Resolution Toolbox says conflict is caused when a boundary is challenged. In this Assignment, evaluate a case in which the violation of boundaries is clearly present. The scenario is not an uncommon one in organizations. When a position opens up, for a variety of reasons, the company is often required to conduct a formal search. Sometimes these searches are legitimate and other times the search is simply a formality. In this Assignment, examine the boundaries and design a strategic intervention that is most likely to occur, reinforcing the policies and procedures designed to protect the company and its employees. David said that he needs this position filled immediately or he will incur a serious bottleneck. In addition, Heather has recently been laid off from her job, and David wants to hire her before someone else makes her an offer. Davids boss gave initial approval for the hiring to occur, but also requested that David use the hiring process outlined by his companys human resources recruiting department. When David presented the issue to the recruiting manager he did not anticipate any problems. After all, he knows the job that has to be done and believes that Heather is exceptionally qualified. However, the recruiting manager told David that before any decision can be made the following steps would need to be taken: A compensation analyst would need to perform a formal review of this job position. Currently Davids company is going through a cost-reduction process. As part of that, all open positions are subject to review to ensure that they are at the appropriate job grade and salary. Once the review is completed, the job opening would have to be posted internally to give other employees the opportunity to apply. In addition, even if no current employees apply for the position, David would still be required to go through the time-consuming process of posting the job on a few external job boards and interviewing a variety of candidates. Meanwhile, Heather would have to fill out an online application, submit a resume to HR, and complete a preliminary screening interview by HR before David would even be allowed to interview her. The entire process could easily take two months. Heather has said that, as much as she would like the opportunity to report to David, she cannot afford to reject another reasonable offer that might arise during that time period. At this point, David is rather upset. After all, the position is within his domain and area of expertise. He has argued that while the HR department can make him go through the process of posting and interviewing, he will still select his friend as the best candidate. Given these factors, he wonders why HR feels empowered to dictate how he performs his job. David is fully prepared to escalate the issue up his chain of command and force a face-off between his VP and the VP of HR. Before he pursues that option, he wants your advice on how he should proceed. Required Readings Cahn, D. D., & Abigail, R. A. (2014). Managing conflict through communication (5th ed.).

After reviewing the weeks reading, project 3 descriptions, and Red Clay Renovation company profile we know that the main office is for RCR is in Delaware which has two other field offices located in Philadelphia and Baltimore. Also, that RCR is a company which renovates, remodels, and rehabilitates the residential building and for customer satisfaction, we must implement the proper security system. In addition, some states (such as Georgia, Oregon) requires specific information security plan, therefore separate System Security Plan (SSP) is required for each field office. A System Security Plan documents the controls which have been selected mitigating the risks of IT systems.The purpose of the system security plan (SSP) is to provide an overview of the security requirements of the system and describe the controls in place or planned responsibilities and expected behavior of all individuals who access the system. The system security plan should be viewed as documentation of the structured process of planning adequate, cost-effective security protection for a system (SANS, 03). Also, for all individuals who access the system, the SSP outlines some behaviors and responsibilities. Therefore, in order to outlining the individual’s behavior and responsibilities who access the system, they SSP should similarly document the planning and processes of security protections (Patrick, n.d.).As we know RCR have offices in the different location that means it has different types of IT network system, information, and personnel. Therefore, each may carry different kinds of threats (such as physical threats, insider threats, informational threats, computer-related threats etc.) in the system to defend against on the site. Therefore, these threats require a separate SSP to be developed for each location as it would details- the different IT equipment, availability of the services, types of sensitive information, personnel etc. In addition, our company is rapidly growing and we are facing and learning more about threats for RCR. Therefore, we are responsible to work with SSP by updating and submitting to each of our RCR locations to the CISO for review.In sum, by implementing separate SSP for each field office will be cost effective and also will allow us to keep our system secure. According to the SANS Institute, the policies that are implemented to protect an organizations information/assets from any disclosure will help to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of information and systems.Reference:Oregon.gov (n.d).

Red Clay Renovation is a world-renowned organization known for specializing in renovations and rehabilitation of residential buildings and dwellings. The headquarters is based in Wilmington Delaware, the operations center is located in Owings Mill, Maryland, and field offices in downtown Baltimore and suburbs of Philadelphia. Each office operates and manages its own IT infrastructure and has a managing director, 2-3 architects, a senior project manager, a business manager, and an office manager. Each office has support personnel that is provided by a local staffing firm.The RCR CISO Eric Carpenter is ultimately responsible for providing management oversight and technology leadership for the companys information technology security program. Although the CISO is responsible for the overall program, The field office manager is responsible for approval and compliance with security plans and procedures for his or her field office. In addition, each filed officer is also the IT system owner of their respective field office.NIST guidance documents, A less costly option for managing IT systems and services was approved at the suggestion of the CISO. The NIST documents include:NIST SP 800-12 An Introduction to Computer Security: The NIST Handbook
NIST SP 800-18 Guide for Developing Security Plans for Federal Information Systems
NIST SP 800-53 Security and Privacy Controls for Federal Information Systems and Organizations
NIST SP 800-100 Information Security Handbook: A Guide for Managers
NISTIR 7621 Small Business Information Security: The Fundamentals
The CISO will be responsible for providing direction and will be responsible for developing a System Security Plan (SSP) based on the above NIST documents. An SSP is a systematic approach to protecting an information system from unauthorized access, guard against viruses, and the overall protection of the IT system from vulnerabilities (Techopedia, 2018). It will also provide an overall view of the RCR security requirements and the controls put in place to secure the systems (SANS, 2013). Each field office has its own IT infrastructure with staff and employees assigned to it. Therefore it is a best practice that each field office supports a separate SSP. Although from a cooperate perspective the SSP is managed and directed by the CISO each SSP will include:System details/inventory documenting the purpose of the system
The system owner
A list of authorized personnel that can access the branch office
Level of access or access control list, least access privileges will be implemented. A concept restricting access rights for users, accounts and compute process to only those that are required.
Access control methods
Strengths and weaknesses of the system
Remediation processes (Techopedia, 2018)
Developing a separate SSP for each field office, managed and directed by the CISO, will provide a system focused macro-view of how security controls are being implemented from the top down. The master SSP will define the RCR system security standards for security controls and provide guidance to the system owners at the field offices (CyberSheath, 2017). The process also helps at a micro level identify non-compliance and uncover insecure practices at the field level. By separating the security plan and its responsibility at the field level, we reduce RCRs overall security risk to the organization allowing segmentation and remediation of breaches at the field level.
