Background: 
Peter attends a concert of his favorite musician Mike Rock, who performs the self-composed song
“Sunshine” on stage. Peter films this performance with his smartphone to have a personal memory of the concert.
The audio-video file is saved directly to the hard drive of his smartphone.
Peter is also a member of a chat group on the messenger service LinguaXL. In this chat group, his extended circle
of friends and acquaintances exchange information about “this and that”. Since several members have
administration rights and thus the authority to add new friends, the group is constantly growing. Now there are
already 45 people, not all of whom Peter knows personally, but who have been added to the group as “friends of
his friends” over the past few months.
After the concert, Peter is still so enthusiastic about his experience, that he joyfully posts his video of the song
“Sunshine” to the group chat. By sharing in the group, on the one hand, the file is stored on the hard disks of all
group members’ end devices; on the other hand, the file is also permanently available in the group chat, so
members can view and re-download the video again at any time, even if they deleted it from their hard drive. 
Task: 
Are there copyright infringements on Peter’s part? Under which conditions is a work protected by copyright
created by another? Who owns copyright and how does copyright benefit creators, copyrights holder(s),
consumers, society, economy and culture as a whole?

Instructions:
Turn off your computer. Then turn on your computer, and quickly press a special key (computer manufacturer and model specific) to stop at the BIOS user interface.
For Windows 10 computers, press the F12 key. For earlier Windows computers it could be the F8 key.
For Mac computers, press and hold CMD, OPT, “O” and “F” (OF stands for ‘open firmware’). The CMD key has an apple on it and the OPT key is in the same position as the ALT key on a PC keyboard. Enter commands when the prompt “0 >” loads on the screen.
Many newer machines use the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) which has replaced the BIOS interface. It still performs essentially the same functions.
Exercises:
Submit your responses to Q2 through Q5 as an MS Word document or as a PDF file. The photos taken for Q1 can be embedded in that document, or they can be submitted as individual files.
Q1: Use your phone to take several photos of the various screens. You should include all visible menu options. The purpose is to help you understand what you can do using the BIOS user interface.
Q2: If you want to boot from a CD instead of a hard disk or an SSD, how would you change your BIOS configuration?
Q3: If you want to disable the CD and the USB drives, how would you change your BIOS configuration?
Q4: If you want to prevent anyone from changing your BIOS settings and setting a password, what BIOS configuration would you change?
Q5: How would you boot into Safe Mode? If your system does not allow this, what would be the reason?

The project milestone is attached below as well as the original scenario utilized. This should help complete this assignment.
Scenario One
As a new security analyst in a healthcare firm, you have been tasked
with getting the system fully patched and up to date. To remediate a
vulnerability with third-party software, the vendor requires a clone of
the system (a complete copy of the application, including all its data)
be sent to their facilities so they can do their own testing on it.
Overview
One of the three focus projects for this course is creating a technical brief
based on the research you’ve conducted. The audience for this brief is
the security or IT director for the fictional organization for which you
work. This technical brief will serve as the basis for a proactive
adversarial detection plan that your director will be creating. The
final product represents an authentic demonstration of competency
because, as a security analyst, you must develop skills that use a
variety of methods and tools to detect, characterize, and counter cyber
threat actors. Your work will contribute to larger team projects across
your organization. This project will also help you develop an important
mindset: thinking responsibly and proactively about what threat actors
would do to attack organizational assets.
The project incorporates one milestone, which will be submitted in Module Five. The project will be submitted in Module Seven.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course competency:
Develop reliable, ethical methods to detect, characterize, and counter cyber threat actors
Scenario
In a course announcement, your instructor will provide some scenarios
for you to choose from. In your chosen scenario, you are a security
analyst, creating a technical brief for the security or IT director
explaining how the situation informs the larger proactive adversarial
detection plan they are writing for the organization. The specific
technical information, results, or determinations you need are supplied
within the scenario. Your brief should address each critical element in
the Project Three prompt, discussing your best-practice tactics or
methods recommendations based on your research from the decision aid you
completed as the milestone for this project. The Conclusion section of
this activity requires you to expand on all the research you did for the
decision aid.
Prompt
In your technical brief, you must address the critical elements listed below.
Introduction
Identify your threat actors and characterize their
motivations or desired outcomes. Use research from the Project Three
resource guide or decision aid to support your response. For example, is
the threat actor gathering information for financial gain?
Analysis
Describe best practices or methods for detecting the threat actors from the scenario. Use research from the Project Three resource guide or decision aid to support your response.
Describe ethical and legal factors that should be
considered and their significance in terms of the company for which you
are employed in the scenario. Use research from the Project Three
resource guide or decision aid to support your response.
Describe at least one tactic or method that is important in responding to and countering this threat actor. Use research from the Project Three resource guide or decision aid to support your response.
Describe at least one tactic or method that would be employed to reduce the likelihood
of the same situation happening again. Use research from the Project
Three resource guide or decision aid to support your response.
Conclusion
Explain the potential ramifications of the tactics or methods you have suggested. Use research from the resource guide or decision aid to support your response.
What to Submit
Your submission should be approximately 2 pages in length (plus a
cover page and references) and should be written in APA format. Use
double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins.
Include at least three references, which should be cited according to
APA style. Use a file name that includes the course code, the assignment
title, and your name—for example,
CYB_200_Project_Three_Neo_Anderson.docx.

In the files I am attaching I have included a job description file. It concerns additions to an already prepared diploma (no bibliography will be needed). It is necessary to write code (which does not need to be delivered) to create graphical elements, and analyze the results. No more than 8 pages (including graphics).

My project  and problem statement is about “how does the use of a web application provide a social environment for people to communicate about tennis”.We are basically creating a web application around a user that can provide a social environment for people to communicate about tennis.You could also include graphs or other statistics about who is the top player / team, predictions even if you want to dabble in a little machine learning? You can look at the social aspect, for example, for people that normally don’t socialise for various reasons. Talk about the calibration and mental health. Also talk about how people can become friends and discuss bets. Talk about what the websites gonna look like and what it’s gonna do. As in discuss other pages that are gonna be on the website so for example homepage and they are able to click on any tennis players to see their stats and other stuff that are normally on a tennis website etc. Also Talk about how am I going to achieve this as I’m how am I gonna achieve the problem statement. People can bet on a game and get a badge. Also how become friends and scheduling a meet up and chat to one another and get a badge
It should be a problem statement  “How does the use of a web application provide a social environment for people to communicate about football / tennis”. The hypothesis is that “A social collaboration web application for people to watch tennis provides an opportunity for like-minded people to make friends / connections with each other”.  The proposal is basically 1000 words and  a template is attached. Please find scientific journals related to my topic. Please answer the questions in the document called project proposal. It’s a 1000 words. Please user literature reviews as well as scientific journals. The initial meet-up presentation PowerPoint attached file is basically give you the structure of how to do the proposal and what to include . Please include 30 references and they have to be Harvard referencing  and they have to either scientific journals and lterative reviews

Your company, a medium-sized mechanical engineering business from Southern Germany, is in the process of
expanding internationally and setting up a plant in Brazil (or in a country of your choice: South Africa, China,
Russia), which will then serve that respective foreign market. You work in the HR (human resources) department
and your task is to prepare the managers who will be going to the plant in Brazil (or to the selected country). Your
company has an ethnocentric approach to filling management positions abroad. Your task is to develop a
guideline to culturally prepare the managers to be sent abroad.
Task definition:
The guide should contain the following parts:
1. A cultural comparison of Germany and the country you have chosen. For this, you could use Hofstede’s cultural
dimensions. A corresponding comparison tool is freely available online. (Link: https://www.hofstede-
insights.com/product/compare-countries/)
2. Use Hofstede, Hall, and Rotter’s three concepts to illustrate the differences, giving one example each, so that
readers (i.e., the managers about to leave) can understand the importance of the cultural differences. The
examples should be connected to the work context as much as possible.
Note: When comparing the individual dimensions of Hofstede, Hall, and Rotter, special attention should be paid
to those dimensions for which there are significant differences between countries. For example, you should
illustrate that power distance can affect how one relates with superiors. Constructive criticism of one’s boss might
be possible in a more egalitarian country, but it is difficult or even impossible in a country with stricter hierarchies.

You should be making good progress on your application and now it is time to submit the Beta version for review. The beta version of an application should have all functionality in place, although there may be some functional problems still left to address.
SLP Assignment Expectations
The Beta version should address the following requirements:
The application should match the design created earlier in the course with the exception of any changes required to address problems or conform to a revised timeline.
All functionality should be operational, although some problems may be present
Connections to outside components should be functioning at the complete level required to support program functionality.
The visual interface should be complete.
There should complete functionality with the required database for the project.
All code should be well-documented with comments.
The program should run without significant errors.
Include a document called operation.docx that describes how to operate the application.
This document should provide sufficient information to allow the instructor to set up and operate the application.
Identify any external system requirements
Key parts of the application should be identified (i.e., tell the instructor where to find the important parts of the application and changes that have been made since the last submission).
Include a section called STATUS with a summary of the current status of your project including work performed since the last submission, problems encountered and how they will be addressed. Be sure to contact your instructor if you need help addressing any issues.
Please submit all required project files and documents for grading. Do not zip the files together, you might experience problems submitting the assignment.
