HUM 200 Pr
- 1. HUM 200 Project Part One: Exploration Document Guidelines and Rubric Overview We all share common experiences that can be generally classified within the major themes of art. Examples of these
- 2. themes include love, mortality, identity, truth, and beauty. The representation of these themes through various media reveals central beliefs shared by a common people. The comparison of objects from the humanities with similar themes helps to uncover not only the uniqueness of each respective cultural artifact, but also a shared human consciousness that transcends time and place. Your project for this course has two parts. In Project Part One, you will complete an exploration document examining two cultural artifacts that you select, identifying a theme common to both of them and developing a thesis statement related to the theme and artifacts. You will also identify an audience who would be interested in your artifacts, theme, and thesis statement. In Project Part Two, you will develop a presentation for your audience. In your presentation, you will discuss the impact of the cultural artifacts, theme, and thesis statement on both individuals and society, supporting your claims with evidence. You will also explain how study of the humanities has impacted you both personally and professionally. In Project Part One, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes: professional experiences in investigating expressions of human creativity Communicate effectively to specific audiences in examining fundamental aspects of human culture major themes of human culture and creativity
- 3. Prompt Choose two cultural artifacts to analyze. These artifacts may take the form of any artistic medium, such as literature, poetry, music, film, dance, painting, and sculpture, and so on. Then, identify a common theme and compare your examples to one another as expressions of the same theme in different cultural artifacts. Chapters 3 through 6 in the Soomo webtext will walk you through this process. Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed: I. Describe the cultural artifacts that you chose. Consider questions such as these in your response: What is the name or title of the artifact? Who is the author or artist? What is the date or time period when the artifact was created? What is the cultural location or physical setting of the artifact? In addition, you could consider including a photograph or image of each cultural artifact, if they are visual artifacts. II. Identify at least one common theme that will serve as the framework of your exploration document. How is the theme expressed in your artifacts? 1
- 4. III. Explain how the theme you identified is related to your personal experience. For instance, you could discuss how the expression of the theme in your cultural artifacts is connected to you personally. IV. Discuss a profession that could be impacted by the theme you identified. In other words, how is the theme you identified related to professional experiences? How could a working knowledge of the humanities be useful in this field? V. Describe at least three humanities resources that you could use to investigate your theme and artifacts. Your sources must be relevant to your theme and of an appropriate academic nature. In your description, consider questions such as the following: What are the similarities and differences in the content of your sources? What makes them appropriate and relevant for investigating your issue? What was your thought process when you were searching for sources? How did you make choices? Did you
- 5. encounter any obstacles and, if so, how did you overcome them? If you did not, why do you think it was so easy to find what you needed? VI. Use the humanities resources that you selected to research your theme and cultural artifacts, making sure that you cite your sources. Based on your research, do the following: A. Discuss the relationship between each cultural artifact and its historical context. In other words, what were the circumstances under which each artifact was created? B. Explain the similarities and differences that you observe in the cultural artifacts you selected, in relation to the theme. For instance, do the artifacts contain any symbolism? If so, how are the symbols both similar and different? What do the symbols tell you about each artifact? C. Discuss the medium—such as literature, music, or sculpture—through which your cultural artifacts were created. For instance, how did the creator or creators of each artifact use the medium to convey something about the meaning of the artifact? VII. Based on your research, develop a thesis statement that conveys the claim you plan to make about your theme and artifacts. Your thesis statement should be clear, specific, and arguable. VIII. Based on your research, identify an audience that would be interested in your theme and thesis statement. For example,
- 6. who would benefit most from hearing your message? IX. Describe how and why you can tailor your message to your audience, providing specific examples based on your research. For example, will your audience understand the terminology and principles used by humanities scholars, or will you need to explain these? How will you communicate effectively with your audience? X. Provide a reference list that includes all of the humanities resources you used to research your artifacts, theme, and thesis statement. Ensure that your list is formatted according to current APA guidelines (or another format with instructor permission). 2

- 22. With the ubiquitous and pervasive application of information technology in business organizations' environments, a significant and sensitive amount of data is generated and stored on cloud computing platforms, creating substantial Cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities Garraghan et al. 2018). In the workforce environment, some fundamental duties and responsibilities involve customers' data management, calling for effective IT-based Cybersecurity customers. Cybersecurity in a workplace occurred in a twofold dimension including the growing data sophistication and data security and privacy compromise due to Cyberattacks and Cybersecurity issues. In the data management role and data manager, collecting and securing data is prone to data breaches and cyber-attackers aging access to sensitive data. Admittedly, Cybersecurity is a fundamental IT-based challenge facing employees, organizations, and stakeholders that require an effective platform for data security and privacy concerns. Thus, Cybersecurity in Data Management at Workplace resonates with fundamental articulation on IT-based challenges in the management information system. Therefore, addressing the topic in detail will offer effective recognition of the IT-based challenges and pragmatic solutions to ensure a secured data management system. Suggesting fundamental Cybersecurity measures to counteract customer data leakage experience is fundamental. Solution s Notably, the business case experiences require practical approaches to ensure data privacy and security, limiting possibilities of other customers' sensitive data leakage to
- 23. unauthorized individuals. Notably, a robust access control, compliance by third-party vendors, employee data security and awareness training, and developing an effective data breach responses plan demonstrate real-time solutions to data breaches in any organization. According to the authors, Data Leakage Protection Based on Context provides an effective platform for data breach and leakage management within an organization, ensuring robust security and privacy concerns (Yu et al. 2018). Similarly, in this analysis of the business, there is an acknowledgment of Data Leakage Protection Based on Context strategy to accommodate access control, compliance by third- party vendors, employee data security and awareness training, and developing an effective data breach responses plan. Thus, a comprehensive explanation of each suggestion to counteract data leakage experience within a workforce, exposing customers' sensitive data to unauthorized personnel is necessary for data security models' decision-making. Access control Access control accommodates several models that provide a restrictive platform to ensure that only authorized individuals within an organization have access to sensitive data. Notably, mandatory access control, directory, rule-based, role-based, risk-related, and attribute-based access control models are effective for the security of data. For example, the rule-based access control model offers significant security rules for
- 24. securing administrator systems. Specifically, access control strategies such as user authentication, verification and identification, password, data encryption and decryption techniques, cryptographic analytics among other access control measures provide an effective platform to restrict unauthorized individuals for effective decision-making. Similarly, the business case whereby there is a significant Cybersecurity breach, causing customers' sensitive information leakage to unauthorized individuals requires effective articulation on access control strategies user authentication, verification and identification, password, data encryption and decryption techniques, cryptographic analytics for internal and external customers data security in the workplace environment. According to the researchers, effective access control and Cybersecurity policies within domains such as healthcare, finance, education, aviation, and commerce have been effective, embracing robust information management system architecture, accommodating information under control, and significant Cybersecurity requirements within an organization (Mishra et al. 2022). Similarly, the business case, via Data Leakage Protection, Based on Context should accommodate Cybersecurity policies and requirements such as data security, privacy, confidentiality, integrity, and availability to create a secured security infrastructure. Additionally, fundamental access control practices such as user authentication,
- 25. verification, and identification, password, data encryption, decryption techniques, cryptographic analytics among other access control measures need fundamental applications to ensure internal and external data privacy and security in an organization. Compliance by Third-Party Vendors Importantly third-party compliance is a fundamental suggestion for an organization that deals with sensitive data on a cloud computing platform that supports information security. Notably, a business organization that offers regulated data or access to IT systems that contains sensitive data requires fundamental articulation to third-party compliance obligations and requirements. Third-party Compliance requirements accommodate IM and presence services components, compliance server, and support clients that are fundamental for information security from Third-party organizations, accessing sensitive data or IT Systems for business organizations. Specifically, embracing vital steps such as the risk evaluation process, in identifying, segmenting, mitigating, risk, and risk factors for effective third-party preparedness is effective. Similarly, due diligence proportion of risks involving data breaches is effective in third-party compliance requirements. According to the authors, accommodating Cyber Third-Party Risk Management is effective for robust data security within an organization, embracing Company-wide approach strategies for
- 26. the entire information security coverage (Keskin, et al. 2021). Fundamentally, creating an effective platform for information security through a comprehensive workflow system and a Company-wide approach for risk management is an effective obligation for third-party vendors' consideration. Similarly, the business case should accommodate fundamental considerations to ensure that third-party vendors with authority to access significant and sensitive data meet all the third-party compliance obligations. Employee data security and awareness training In the business case, Cybersecurity is a fundamental IT-based challenge facing employees, organizations, and stakeholders that require an effective platform for data security and privacy concerns. Specifically, offering extensive and comprehensive employee training on Cybersecurity and awareness is fundamental in managing internal threats and vulnerabilities of data security. According to the authors, training and creating awareness on information security awareness, accommodating current model and content provides an effective platform for information security, managing internal threats and vulnerabilities to information (Khando et al. 2021). Similarly, the business case on customers' data breach and leakage due to employees lacking awareness and knowledge on data security and privacy require fundamental articulation on information security wares, embracing modern and real-time methods
- 27. towards effective data management. Notably, training on phishing attacks, password and authentication, physical security, mobile device security, working remotely, public Wi - Fi and Cloud security are underpinning. Importantly, the business organization case requires fundamental employee training and awareness on an information security system for a robust solution on data leakage cases. Thus, employee training and awareness on information security offers knowledge and concepts in preventing data breaches and customers' data leakage in an organization setting.

- 29. Method 1: Access Control solution Strengths of this method Access control is a vital component of data security in cloud computing. It dictates who is allowed to access and use the company resources and information. Through authorization and authentication, the access control standards and policies ensure that users are correctly identified through login credentials such as passwords, biometric scans, usernames, and passwords (Colombo and Ferrari, 2019). Therefore, access control helps to limit access to users’ data and this is a key strategy that can help to enhance the privacy of data and information that is stored by an organization through its cloud servers. In any organization, access control helps to secure an organization’s confidential information such as intellectual property, customer data, and personally identifiable information from getting into
- 30. the wrong hands (Hasbini and Tom-Petersen, Jordan, 2017). It is most effective with organizations that are uses hybrid and multi-cloud computing systems that data, resources, and applications in the companies’ hardware systems and their cloud servers. Weaknesses of this method The access control method is limited by insider threats. Despite the methods being effective in keeping off third-party users, rogue employees can still leak the login credentials to the wrong individuals and organizations (Colombo and Ferrari, 2019). In the US, insider threats are on the rise due to high employee turnover in many organizations across the country. Employees or leaders who retire or quit their jobs often end up selling their former companies’ information or access credentials that make it easy to access and steal or tamper with the users' data. Therefore, Valenzano (2014) notes that insider threats may render access control useless. Another challenge with access control is hacking. Even though organizations may try to control and monitor people who access data and information from their systems, hackers have also taken advantage of modern technology to develop powerful anti - software tools that crack almost every system (Hasbini and Tom-Petersen, Jordan, 2017). Examples of this software include intruder, Nets parker, and Nmap. Opportunity
- 31. With increasing technology, companies can test their access control strategies. Ethical hacking allows companies to organize hacking drills on their systems to test their effectiveness and their employees’ level of preparedness (Valenzano, 2014). This is crucial as it may help companies to identify the gaps in their systems and enhance their access control strategies. Furthermore, access control also allows companies to disable the accounts of employees who leave their companies or change the login credentials including passwords and encryption protocols. Therefore, companies can still secure their systems despite the threats from insiders and hackers. Threats Increasing cases of insider threats and hackers threaten the integrity of access control methods. Nowadays, it is very difficult to determine who to trust with the company’s information. Access control methods cannot be effective if employees lack self-control, transparency, and ethics. It has become difficult to trust employees with critical business information (Valenzano, 2014). Method 2: Compliance by the third-party vendors Strengths of this method Increasing security concerns on cloud computing have forced many organizations to use the third party-vendors to secure the users' data (Shaverdian, 2019). The use of third-party vendors helps to eliminate common cloud computing such as insider
- 32. threats. The third-party companies help to monitor a company’s security system and therefore, it becomes difficult for rogue employees or third parties to access the users’ data and a company’s classified information such as its IP rights. One of the strengths of using the third party method is its third-party risk management program (TPRM). The TPRM involves the third-party company and the host organization creating a risk management program that addresses all the risks from both sides (Li and Xu, 2021). Therefore, the TRPM helps the third party company and the host organization to create monitoring programs and remediation plans that help to manage all the possible risks that may affect the integrity of the users’ data and the privacy of the company’s vital information. Furthermore, the TPRM is crucial is it assesses the internal controls of the host company to test their effectiveness and utilize the current software to fend off any risks and threats and create a strong security program (Shaverdian, 2019). Using the TPRM, this factor is made possible through the help of proper technological tools such as automated monitoring, prompt alerting of any threat, and tracking of high-risk behaviors within the company. Therefore, these tools help to keep the third-party program ahead of other methods. Weaknesses of the method The main weakness of third-party solutions is a lack of control. By using this method, all the security procedures and protocols
- 33. are controlled by the third-party company. Although it may seem to be effective at enhancing the security of the users’ data, it also prevents large-scale organizations from expanding their cloud-computing protocols (Li and Xu, 2021). Most organizations often want to expand their cloud computing servers to have both private and public cloud computing. Once an organization selects the third-party method, other options are not allowed. Opportunities The third-party method is the best option as it allows organizations to draft security maps to identify the strengths and weaknesses of both parties. Therefore, it gives organizations a chance of testing their security systems and protocols to determine their effectiveness and also address the gaps that exist in the systems (Shaverdian, 2019). Using the third-party solution, the challenge of hacking or insider threats is almost zero since the entire security system is controlled and managed by a third-party organization. Threats An organization may not have much control over the security systems and security protocols since the entire work is undertaken by a third-party company. However, if the security system of the third-party company also fails, the host organization is also likely to lose valuable data and information
- 34. (Li and Xu, 2021). Method 3: employee data security and awareness training The strengths Employee training and awareness are crucial in equipping the employees with the necessary skills to handle all the security challenges on their cloud systems. It gives employees a chance to effectively monitor the company systems and respond to any security alerts that may arise from both internal and external environments (Khando et al., 2021). With data security and training awareness, it becomes easy for employees to enhance a company’s private information and also secure the users’ data. Weaknesses No matter how good the data security and awareness security training might be, this method is still challenged by the increasing cases of insider threats and hackers. Since the company’s employees may still be in charge of its systems, they are likely to leak the company’s vital information to rivals or unauthorized people (Khando et al., 2021). Opportunities Training programs help employees to learn how to be ethical when handling the users’ data. They learn new methods and tactics they can use to secure the company’s data and also protect the users’ data. It is also among the ways that organizations use to hone their employees’ skills in responding to emergencies (Li et al., 2019).
- 35. Threats This method is costly and it may take long before the employees acquire all the skills that are necessary to protect the company’s systems and cloud servers. Furthermore, hackers usually evolve their skills almost all the time and therefore, this method may not be effective at eliminating future or long-term security threats from an organization (Khando et al., 2021). Conclusion In conclusion, using a third-party solution is the best method that any organization can adopt to enhance the security of its systems and cloud servers. This method gives helps an organization to have a clear map regarding the strengths and weaknesses of its systems and the security protocols that need to be followed to secure the users’ data and information. In a third-party solution, the risks of internal threats and hacking are almost zero and hence, this method may be effective is effective in protecting the users’ data.
