A solid understanding of basic computing, computer storage, and processing

Posted on | by

Consider jobs that require a solid understanding of basic computing, computer storage, and processing speeds as part of an information technology degree. Put yourself in the position of the hiring manager and think about what you would expect as competent responses from an applicant:

Briefly explain the four main parts of a computer system information.
Provide an example of each.
Managing data efficiently requires having sufficient processing speed, paired with the appropriate amount of memory and storage space. Briefly explain what you would recommend for an IT professional to have for their laptop’s memory, storage, and processor.

There are many different threats to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data-at-rest, data-in-transit, and processing. Some threats affect one of these security risks (like confidentiality only), and some threats affect more than one or even all these risks.

Create a 1-to 2 -page table, in Microsoft® Word, listing a minimum of 6 threats using the column headers and details below:
Threat – List the threat.
Threat to Type of Data (data-at-rest,data-in-transit, or processing) – Identify the type.
Confidentiality/Integrity/Availability– Identify whether some or all are affected by labelling: C, I, and/orA.
Mitigation Suggestion – Describe a mitigation plan in 2-3 sentences.
Example:
Threat: Password Compromise
Threat to Type of Data: Data-At-Rest
Confidentiality/Integrity/Availability: C & I
Mitigation: Employ a strong password that is changed at regular intervals. Do not share your password or write it down on sticky notes on your desk.

Include a short paragraph that highlights two access control techniques or policies that enforce security.
