You have just been hired as an information security engineer for a large, multi-international corporation. unfortunately, your company has suffered multiple security breaches that have threatened customers' trust in the fact that their confidential data and financial assets are private and secured. credit-card information was compromised by an attack that infiltrated the network through a vulnerable wireless connection within the organization. the other breach was an inside job where personal data was stolen because of weak access-control policies within the organization that allowed an unauthorized individual access to valuable data. your job is to develop a risk-management policy that addresses the two security breaches and how to mitigate these risks.requirementswrite a brief description of the case study. it requires two to three pages, based upon the apa style of writing. use transition words; a thesis statement; an introduction, body, and conclusion; and a reference page with at least two references. use a double-spaced, arial font, size 12.

When making changes to optimize part of a processor, it is often the case that speeding up one type of instruction comes at the cost of slowing down something else. for example, if we put in a complicated fast floating-point unit, that takes space, and something might have to be moved farther away from the middle to accommodate it, adding an extra cycle in delay to reach that unit. the basic amdahl's law equation does not take into account this trade-off. a. if the new fast floating-point unit speeds up floating-point operations by, on average, 2ă—, and floating-point operations take 20% of the original program's execution time, what is the overall speedup (ignoring the penalty to any other instructions)? b. now assume that speeding up the floating-point unit slowed down data cache accesses, resulting in a 1.5ă— slowdown (or 2/3 speedup). data cache accesses consume 10% of the execution time. what is the overall speedup now? c. after implementing the new floating-point operations, what percentage of execution time is spent on floating-point operations? what percentage is spent on data cache accesses?
