Now that you have seen all the elements contributing to the Devil’s Canyon enterprise architecture, Justin wants to move forward with developing privacy policies to ensure videos are not distributed or uploaded to the net without the consent of the people in them. This opens a much larger conversation: Devil’s Canyon is also in need of a complete security plan, as well as risk assessments. In a 2- to 3-page rationale and table, prepare the following information to present to the Devil’s Canyon team: Explain the relationship between policies and security plans. Identify potential policy needs, noting Justin’s privacy policy, in relation to the Devil’s Canyon enterprise structure. Outline the importance of a security plan in relation to security roles and safeguards. Analyze at least 5 security-related risks/threats that Devil’s Canyon may face. Assess the probability and impact to the Devil’s Canyon if each risk occurs. Based on these two factors, determine the overall risk level. For purposes of this assignment, evaluate and categorize each factor as low, medium, or high, and create a table to illustrate the risks. For example, a risk/threat with a low likelihood of occurrence and a high impact would represent an overall medium risk. Consider digital elements mentioned in the designing of the enterprise architecture, such as software, hardware, proposed security measures, smart lift tickets, web cam systems, and smartphones. 9/1/21, 8:17 PM Devil's Canyon: A Role-Playing Simulation on Designing the Enterprise Architecture for a Mountain Resort https://pe-xl-prod.knowdl.com/content/atm_sims/Wallace/Sim3/index.html 1/2 Web Meeting Transcript Ariane: hey this is cool. looks like devils canyon is nearly ready for guests! Se Jong: lol Justin: sure, ariane, if those guests are just bytes of data too! Justin: K, do you have a web cam? no point in just staring at the no video signal until ed gets here Ariane: where is ed? he just sent me an im Ed: Hey sorry guys, I just came down from the mountaintop. Justin: well that's not bytes of data then. No way to describe him with just the keyboard keys and ASCII Code Ed: OK, looks like we're looking at a mix of optical fiber and twisted copper wire. Justin: Yes, the fiber will connect buildings and floors, but the twisted pair will go to the desktop. It isn't as fast as all fiber, probably 1 gigabit per second, but we won't need those special interface cards for the fiber connectors. All the computers and other devices already have jacks for the regular twisted pair connectors that look like phone jacks. Se Jong: We'll need to offer them wifi anyway though, with the wireless routers and lots of access points. Guests will be happy that they can use an Ethernet cable in their rooms – that's usually faster than wifi. Ed: That makes sense, Se Jong. They'll probably be downloading movies. It will still use TCP/IP, yes? Se Jong: Yes, and also Internet Protocol Version 6.0 - they all use TCP/IP. Justin: It will work fine for internet access, and be very fast, too. Ed: What about this recommendation about the coaxial cable? Se Jong: Well, we may not need it if we can deliver the TV signals using the fiber and ethernet, but installing it now along with the other wiring is cheap, and would be very expensive later. Justin: Yeah, it’s not that much anyway. This will give us the most options. You never know what those cable companies will do, and with so much competition, we want to have the option available so we can take advantage of price breaks. Ed: OK, sounds good to me. Ed: Let's look at the wifi now. Se Jong: K, recommended this too. But how can we be sure we’ll have enough access points? Justin: We can always install more wireless access points if we need them. Not a problem. Ed: Good, you know people are using their smartphones with wifi too, so we want them to be able to connect from anywhere. Ed: What about the cell towers? It's annoying that we have to help pay for these. Why don't the carriers put them up? Ariane: well they will pay part, and we've got to have 3g coverage at least. Justin: really 4g now. Ed: Do we have enough towers do you think? Justin: well I hope so – the engineers thought those placements would give coverage everywhere – even the valleys. Ed: let me show you this design for a cell tower Ed: (smiles) Ariane: is clapping! Justin: ha... the tree looks a little goofy to me, but maybe we can spray it with some fake snow in the winter. Se Jong: A jolly snowman cell tower! Ed: OK, let's see what we've got for landline voice calls. Ariane: who makes voice calls anymore? Se Jong: not me. Justin: ha, not me either, I just text. Ed: Yeah, well I'm old fashioned! Gotta have voice calling capabilities – voice mail, forwarding. Ariane: this seems like a great deal... no PBX on premises. Justin: K may know about some service providers who can handle this. With our smartphones, it is probably ok that the cost per minute is high. Not many will be using their regular land line phones. 9/1/21, 8:17 PM Devil's Canyon: A Role-Playing Simulation on Designing the Enterprise Architecture for a Mountain Resort https://pe-xl-prod.knowdl.com/content/atm_sims/Wallace/Sim3/index.html 2/2 Ed: Installation is really cheap – actually free if we sign a 1 year contract, and they'll help us set everything up. The only thing, though, is that our net connection often goes down during storms. Se Jong: You're right, Ed. Might be a little dangerous if the service isn't reliable in the winter. Justin: Well let's go with it for now because K, recommended it. It does seem risky to me though. Ed: I understand. Well, let's move on. Ed: OK, now for the bandwidth choices. I like the maximum bandwidth recommendation Justin: I do too, and so does K. But you know we could save some money if we just leased a moderate amount to start, but make sure the provider can ramp up if needed. Ed: Well, let's go with the recommendation to start with the maximum. Don't want to open the resort and have people posting online reviews saying the net access is slow as molasses. Se Jong: I agree with K and Ed. If we see we never use all of it, we can get a less expensive option. Ariane: And those video downloads are going to take some bandwidth. Ed: OK, looks like we've made terrific progress on this enterprise architecture. Just one last group of decisions to make, on the special purpose systems Se Jong: well I can say that I think we should get them all, but let's wait for K to do the recommendations. Justin: works for me... I really want that web cam system on the slopes though. People will be blackmailing each other to keep their lousy skiing runs and wipeouts off Youtube. Ariane: lol...you got that right. Ed: (laughs) Me too, Ariane. But it would be fun for parents to have videos of their kids learning to ski. Justin: Yeah, and they'd pay a lot for them, too. We could add titles and credits and things, make them into flashy little movies. Ed: OK, guys, thanks again for coming to this web meeting on short notice. Let's break now and get back to work. Se Jong: you mean let K get back to work. I'm going skiing before those web cams go up. Justin: haha...see you guys. Ariane: bye all Justin: thanks again K. enterprise architecture is like a jigsaw puzzle – all the parts have to fit together. 9/1/21, 8:05 PM Devil's Canyon: A Role-Playing Simulation on Designing the Enterprise Architecture for a Mountain Resort https://pe-xl-prod.knowdl.com/content/atm_sims/Wallace/Sim3/index.html 1/1 9/1/21, 8:06 PM Devil's Canyon: A Role-Playing Simulation on Designing the Enterprise Architecture for a Mountain Resort https://pe-xl-prod.knowdl.com/content/atm_sims/Wallace/Sim3/index.html 1/1 Designing the Enterprise Architecture for Devil's Canyon: Cost Estimates QTY One Time Start up* Ongoing Monthly expense** Total 1 year cost Total 3 years cost Phase 1 : Software Choices Enterprise Systems COTS for Resort Management (installed on premises) 1 $150,000 $400 $154,800 $164,400 Open Source Software (installed on premises) 1 $50,000 $4,000 $98,000 $194,000 Software as a Service/Cloud computing 1 $- $10,000 $120,000 $360,000 Individual Productivity Software Microsoft Suite 100 $200 $5 $26,000 $38,000 Open Office or Google Docs 100 $85 $30 $44,500 $116,500   Phase 2: Hardware Choices Data Center on premises with virtualized servers $30,000 $9000 $138,000 $354,000 Microcomputers-Desktops 100 $800 $25 $110,000 $170,000 Microcomputers-Laptops 100 $1,600 $40 $208,000 $304,000 Smartphones 100 $99 $45 $54,099 $162,099   Phase 3: Network and Telecom Choices Cabling All �ber throughout 1 $65,000 $10 $65,120 $65,360 Mix of �ber and twisted pair 1 $15,000 $100 $16,200 $18,600 Coaxial cable (mainly for cable TV) 1 $10,000 $15 $10,180 $10,540 Wi� and Cellular Access Wi� Hot Spots 30 $250 $25 $16,500 $34,500 Cell towers (with pine tree disguise) 3 $20,000 $100 $63,600 $70,800 Voice Calls PBX (installed on premises) 1 $48,000 $50 $48,600 $49,800 Virtual PBX (Voice over IP, hosted by service) 1 $- $300 $3,600 $10,800 Main Internet Connection Maximum bandwidth for highest speeds and traffic 1 $2,000 $250 $5,000 $11,000 Moderate bandwidth for moderate speeds and traffic 1 $2,000 $180 $4,160 $8,480   Phase 4: Special Purpose Systems Choices Smart Lift Tickets (with RFID) 1 $175,000 $400 $179,800 $189,400 Security system (video cameras, motion sensors) 1 $80,000 $100 $81,200 $83,600 Devil's Canyon Custom Mobile Phone App 1 $165,000 $50 $165,600 $166,800 Web Cam System on Slopes with Large Display in Lodge 1 $25,000 $50 $25,600 $26,800   * One time start up costs include expenses such as licenses, purchases, installation, adaptation, customization, etc. * * Ongoing monthly expense includes maintenance, subscriptions, training, etc. 9/1/21, 8:17 PM Devil's Canyon: A Role-Playing Simulation on Designing the Enterprise Architecture for a Mountain Resort https://pe-xl-prod.knowdl.com/content/atm_sims/Wallace/Sim3/index.html 1/1 9/1/21, 8:20 PM Devil's Canyon: A Role-Playing Simulation on Designing the Enterprise Architecture for a Mountain Resort https://pe-xl-prod.knowdl.com/content/atm_sims/Wallace/Sim3/index.html 1/1 9/1/21, 8:20 PM Devil's Canyon: A Role-Playing Simulation on Designing the Enterprise Architecture for a Mountain Resort https://pe-xl-prod.knowdl.com/content/atm_sims/Wallace/Sim3/index.html 1/1 Designing the Enterprise Architecture for Devil's Canyon: Cost Estimates QTY One Time Start up* Ongoing Monthly expense** Total 1 year cost Total 3 years cost Phase 1 : Software Choices Enterprise Systems COTS for Resort Management (installed on premises) 1 $150,000 $400 $154,800 $164,400 Individual Productivity Software Open Office or Google Docs 100 $85 $30 $44,500 $116,500   Phase 2: Hardware Choices Data Center on premises with virtualized servers $30,000 $9000 $138,000 $354,000 Microcomputers-Laptops 100 $1,600 $40 $208,000 $304,000 Smartphones 100 $99 $45 $54,099 $162,099   Phase 3: Network and Telecom Choices Cabling Mix of �ber and twisted pair 1 $15,000 $100 $16,200 $18,600 Coaxial cable (mainly for cable TV) 1 $10,000 $15 $10,180 $10,540 Wi� and Cellular Access Wi� Hot Spots 30 $250 $25 $16,500 $34,500 Cell towers (with pine tree disguise) 3 $20,000 $100 $63,600 $70,800 Voice Calls Virtual PBX (Voice over IP, hosted by service) 1 $- $300 $3,600 $10,800 Main Internet Connection Maximum bandwidth for highest speeds and traffic 1 $2,000 $250 $5,000 $11,000   Phase 4: Special Purpose Systems Choices Smart Lift Tickets (with RFID) 1 $175,000 $400 $179,800 $189,400 Security system (video cameras, motion sensors) 1 $80,000 $100 $81,200 $83,600 Devil's Canyon Custom Mobile Phone App 1 $165,000 $50 $165,600 $166,800 Web Cam System on Slopes with Large Display in Lodge 1 $25,000 $50 $25,600 $26,800 Totals $1,166,679 $1,723,839   * One time start up costs include expenses such as licenses, purchases, installation, adaptation, customization, etc. * * Ongoing monthly expense includes maintenance, subscriptions, training, etc.
