For this assignment, begin by reading chapters 12-15 in Dr. Bell’s text. Then, consider and respond to the following questions.
The SALT talks accomplished little, but it was important to keep both parties talking. Does the evidence of the 1970s and 1980s support this thesis? Support your opinion with at least three examples.
Critics of “Star Wars” argued that an effective nuclear defense shield would have increased the dangers of nuclear war. How so?
During much of the 1970s, the Soviets became increasingly dependent on US grain in order to feed their people. These exports were popular with American farmers, but played a more ambiguous role in American efforts to control the Soviets. If you had been a presidential advisor for Presidents Ford and Carter, what economic strategy would you have recommended?
The Soviet invasion and occupation of Afghanistan has been described as the Soviets’ Vietnam. Discuss at least three similarities and one dissimilarity between these conflicts.

Okay, you are the new CISO in charge of creating a brand new Security Operations Center
(SOC).
The Incident Management SOC is for a medium size technology company ranging from 1000
to 5000 full-time employees with a cybersecurity budget of $2.1 million.
As the CISO you need to determine the details of the following; determine positions with
appropriate labor rates, determine realistic costs of hardware and equipment. determine
realistic costs of required SIEM and analytic tools, determine realistic costs of threat
intelligence feeds and subscriptions. The SOC should run 24 x 7 with a rotational shift
schedule. Use the items below as a guide.
Determine a preliminary cost based on the items needed for a successful SOC operation. Use
the internet to get basic costs and create a spreadsheet for the total cost of operations. Be
aware of your budget of $2.1 million.
Do research on YouTube, find a video on building a SOC operation and see below for some
hints on the items necessary for building a successful SOC operation.
The MS Excel spreadsheet should be neat and clean for document presentation.
Personnel:
The SOC will be manned with personnel from the following classifications; Analyst I – 5 ea.
FTE, Analyst II – 5 ea. FTE, Analyst III – 5 ea. FTE, SOC Operations Manager – 1 FTE,
Deputy SOC Operations Manager – 1 FTE, Ops Team Leaders – 5 ea. FTE
*(Full Time Employee (FTE))
Hardware and Equipment – This would be mobile devices, servers, screens and end user
devices.
Ticketing System – Incident tracking
End -User Cybersecurity Tools
Good Luck!
(NOTE: All costs have to be realistic and pulled from a data source and cited. I will check to
see if your budget makes sense)

Session 3 Research Paper – Artist and Inspiration

The author of our course’s text, Jerram Barrs, explores the idea that quality art (on some level) truthfully explores what it means to live life as a human. In Echoes of Eden, he states, “This principle of representing things as they are is a matter of obedience and honesty. Simple integrity constrains us to communicate faithfully and truthfully not only about the Lord himself and other people whose stories appear in the Bible, but also about our current human condition” (Barrs, 2013).
In our discussion assignment this week, you chose a specific artistic medium for your Session 5 Final Project. Now that you have identified the particular form of art that you’d like to submit, we will engage in an important step of the creative process — researching the form and technique of those who have come before us. For this paper, identify an artist who has created art in the same category that you have selected for your final project. For example, if you have chosen to compose a poem for your project, you’ll need to identify a prominent poet to research.
In 2-3 pages (formatting per APA standards), address these elements:

• What do you personally find inspiring about this artist’s work?
• How do you see universal truths of humanity (pain, joy, love, redemption, etc.) within the artist’s work? If you do not see these, explain what you think the artist is attempting to convey.
• What makes this artist’s work different than other artists who create the same type of art?
• Identify a minimum of two elements within his or her artistic technique and explain how you could potentially utilize them your Session 5 Final Project.
