Technology Selection Study Recommendation Paper

This assignment will be completed in two stages.

Stage 1: Post your draft of this paper no later than Sunday of Week 6 in the weekly conference for review and evaluation by your peers.

Stage 2: Using the feedback from your peers, revise and finalize your paper and then submit it for grading via your assignment folder.

Follow the instructions posted by your instructor regarding peer review and “best paper” voting.
For this paper, you will construct a recommendation to study and evaluate a specific technology.

To support your recommendation you will use information from either your Technology Review #1 or Technology Review #2.

Your sources which support your paper must have a publication date of 2017 or later, i.e. 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021.

GETTING STARTED

Choose one of your technology reviews (#1 or #2) and then use the authoritative sources from your bibliography to write a recommendation for study analysis for senior managers and executives.

These decision makers will be responsible for determining which emerging technologies or emerging applications of technologies will become part of the company’s portfolio of Internal Research & Development projects during the next budget cycle.

Since your paper is being submitted for the Cybersecurity Category you must make sure that you address cybersecurity requirements and considerations in your recommendation.

Write down your thoughts and ideas about the security implications of incorporating this technology into the company’s operations, products, or services?

What are the vulnerabilities or risks associated with this technology which could cause a loss of confidentiality, integrity, availability, etc.

Throughout your recommendation (see below), you must keep your focus upon the security posture of this technology and its applications (e.g. products or services built upon this technology or which incorporate this technology).

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR STUDY

Your focus in this paper must be upon identifying and presenting information from authoritative sources which supports a recommendation to select this technology for further study as part of an Internal Research & Development project (IR&D). Your recommendation should be based upon the following (at a minimum):

o characteristics (features and capabilities) of the technology

o interactions among the selected technology, people, environments, and processes (how will it be used; use cases if known)

risks or vulnerabilities associated with adoption of this technology

costs and benefits associated with adoption of this technology

Addressing Costs and Benefits: Do not tell the reader how much the technology will cost.

Discuss instead how much it might cost to SECURE this technology against cyber-attacks and/or how difficult it will be to deny criminals and terrorists the use of this technology.

WRITING YOUR PAPER

Your paper must provide the reader with an overview of the technology followed by information about the potential security risks and/or benefits of its use (the security posture ).

You MUST use information paraphrased from the papers found during your Survey of the Professional Literature (with appropriate in-text citations).

Your paper should be 5 to 7 pages in length (excluding the title page and references page).
