Project Proposal and Plan



Value:10%



Length:1250 words (5-6 pages)




Task



WHAT TO DO:



  1. Follow the Study Schedule and work with the Topics in Interact as they provide a "scaffold" for your learning in this subject.

  2. Develop a detailed CapstoneProject Proposal and Planusing project management software (as listed in the Study Schedule) and the skills you have acquired from IT Project Management to develop a project plan with aWork Breakdown Structure(WBS), milestones andGantt chart. These tools may help.


    1. MicrosoftProject Pro (http://office.microsoft.com/en-au/project/);

    2. Open source tools like GanttProject (http://www.ganttproject.biz/);

    3. OpenProj(http://sourceforge.net/projects/openproj/)

    4. OpenProject (https://www.openproject.org/about).

    5. ProjectLibre (http://www.projectlibre.org/)


  3. Begin using the 'project blog' as a tool beyond theweekly progress reportsfor your chosen emerging technology topic:


    1. The blog helps you to "think by writing" and also store your notes, project files and links in a cloud-based service.

    2. Consider sharing the site with your peers as a way to tell a story and harness each others knowledge.


  4. The blog is ideallyupdated each weekwith 3 or 4 entries for documenting your project notes and as the foundation for editing and writing the Capstone Project Report. An ideal blog entry will have around 50-150 words (150-600 words a week).



Rationale



This assessment task will assess the following learning outcome/s:



  • be able to interpret and evaluate an overview of recent trends in emerging technologies and innovation.

  • be able to perform literature searches and critically analyse the literature in the chosen topic.


TheCapstone Topic Project Planallows for a broad range of project areas like systems administration, database systems, IT security, mobile technology etc. Often the project has a sponsor and is linked to your interest or workplace needs. The proposal has aresearch component(Assessment Item 3 Annotated Bibliography) so in some cases you may need to find a supervisor willing to accept you as a candidate.


TheLearning Outcomesbeing assessed in this item include how you interpret and evaluate an overview of recent trends in emerging technologies and innovation and begin to plan, execute, record and present your research and project work as a capstone experience.


YourCapstone Project Proposal and Planwill be evaluated with aseries of questionsthat you can use as aChecklist:



  • Is the capstone topic area appropriate?

  • Has the Project Blog been setup?

  • Has there been sufficient justification of the choice of the topic?

  • Is there enough scope for a sufficiently deep/complex analysis?

  • Is the scope appropriate for what might be reasonably expected in the capstone project subject?

  • Is the methodology proposed clear?

  • Are the deliverables clearly set out?

  • Are the deliverables sufficiently complex to justify a pass in this activity?

  • Is it likely that the proposed activities can be reasonably carried out?

  • Is it likely that the student will have access to the necessary resources to do a satisfactory job?

  • Is the time line proposed realistic?

Security Challenges in Big Data
Security Challenges in Big Data
Title
Security Challenges in Big Data
Introduction
Big Data is a technology that has enabled the business organizations to manage their massive data and information sets. The management and storage of the data sets has been simplified with the involvement of Big Data. However, there are security issues that are associated with Big Data in terms of network security attacks, malware attacks, data breaches etc.
The need of the research is due to these security challenges and their associated impacts. The security challenges can have impacts, such as issues with information and network availability, legal obligations, reduced customer engagement & satisfaction levels, poor reputation of the organization in the market, and several others. The research will provide the methods that can be used to deal with these security challenges (Clarke, 2015).
The primary motivation for the research is to eliminate the security challenges so that the protection of the data sets is ensured. The associated benefits that will result with the enhanced security and privacy of the data sets, such as better reputation of the organization in the market, increased customer engagement & base also form the motivation for the research (Tankard, 2012).
The research is significant as the frequency of the security attacks on Big Data has increased over the past few years. It has become essential to control these attacks so that the business organizations and the end-users can make correct use of the data. Also, the research will provide the security controls that shall be applied and these controls will make sure that the privacy and confidentiality of the information is maintained (Lafuente, 2015).
The aim and objective of the research is to research and analyse the security challenges associated with Big Data and perform the root cause analysis to determine the primary & secondary threat agents involved and the security controls that can be applied to treat the risks.
Material & Methods
The existing problem will be solved by exploring and suggesting the security controls and tools that can be used to prevent and avoid the security risks. There are different forms of security challenges that are currently associated with Big Data. These security challenges and issues can be resolved using a wide range of controls under the categories as physical security controls, technical security controls, logical security controls, etc. The details of these controls under different scenarios will be presented through the research.
The methodology that will be used for the research purpose will be qualitative method to explore the research area. The security challenges associated with Big Data are dynamic in nature. The mechanism used by the attackers and the types of the security risks involved may change over time. The qualitative research method will explore the factors and agents associated with the Big Data security issues (Quinn, 2018). The primary step will be the planning of the research and the research estimates, data source identification, and...
