Systems Analysis of a Secure Solution

80 to >74.0 pts

Advanced

Proper analysis and synthesis of the review of literature exists that supports the systems analysis. Each aspect is analyzed, including the target of the attacks that could persist, vulnerabilities, and the controls and/or solutions. A minimum of 8 peer-reviewed sources exist (can have overlap from Phase 1 if appropriate) and a minimum of 7 double-spaced, current APA-formatted pages, excluding the SAD diagrams, graphics, tables, or any other non-textual components.

40 to >0.0 pts

Developing

Analysis and synthesis of the review of literature exist that does not completely support the systems analysis, and/or each aspect is not analyzed, including the target of the attacks that could persist, vulnerabilities, and the controls and/or solutions. Less than 7 peer-reviewed sources exist (can have overlap from Phase 1 if appropriate), and/or less than 7 double-spaced, current APA-formatted pages, excluding the SAD diagrams, graphics, tables, or any other non-textual components.

Methodology 20 to >17.0 pts

Advanced

Relevant and current research exists from scholarly, peer-reviewed, and respected journals that support the chosen methodology for security analysis. Methodology precisely and accurately defines approaches, including data gathering, and limitations of the analysis.

17 to >12.0 pts

Proficient

Certain research exists from scholarly, peer-reviewed, and respected journals that is not relevant to support the chosen methodology for security analysis. Methodology precisely and accurately defines approaches including data gathering, and limitations of the analysis.

12 to >0.0 pts

Developing

Certain research exists from scholarly, peer-reviewed, and respected journals that is not relevant to support the chosen methodology for security analysis, and/or methodology does not define approaches including data gathering, and limitations of the analysis.

Analysis Diagrams

50 to >45.0 pts

Advanced

A minimum of 5 diagrams exist that accurately analyze a secure system, network, and/or application solution. Within EACH of the 5 diagrams, a minimum of 10 elements exist that accurately detail analysis of the environment that needs securing (Note, if 10 elements are not necessary in a diagram, add diagrams as needed to sufficiently meet this requirement). Each diagram is thoroughly developed based upon existing architecture and/or applications. Each diagram meets the associated technical requirements, programming language, notations, formatting, and modeling rules of the language (e.g. UML), industry standards for the diagram, and/or literature review. Analysis and design diagrams must have an associated industry standard that is widely accepted to be recognized (e.g. UML).

45 to >30.0 pts

Proficient

A minimum of 4 diagrams exist, and/or the diagrams do not accurately detail the environment to be analyzed. Within the diagram, a minimum of 10 elements exist that accurately detail analysis of the environment that needs securing. Each diagram is thoroughly developed based upon existing architecture and/or applications. Each diagram meets the associated technical requirements, programming language, notations, formatting, and modeling rules of the language (e.g. UML), industry standards for the diagram, and/or literature review. Analysis and design diagrams must have an associated industry standard that is widely accepted to be recognized (e.g. UML).

30 to >0.0 pts

Developing

Less than 4 diagrams exist, and/or the diagrams do not accurately detail the environment to be analyzed, and/or the minimum of 10 elements does not exist within the diagrams included, and/or design diagrams do not have an associated industry standard that is widely accepted to be recognized.

Executive Summary, Introduction, and Conclusion

15 to >13.0 pts

Advanced

The student formulates a succinct executive summary that embodies the project’s primary objectives and outcomes. The introduction constructs the purpose of the secure system and/or application proposal. A compelling and arguable final conclusion is developed.

13 to >8.0 pts

Proficient

The student formulates a succinct executive summary that embodies some of the project’s primary objectives and outcomes, and/or the introduction constructs an unclear purpose of the secure system and/or application proposal. An arguable final conclusion is developed.

8 to >0.0 pts

Developing

The student formulates a generalized executive summary that embodies some of the project’s primary objectives and outcomes, and/or the introduction constructs an unclear purpose of the secure system and/or application proposal, and/or the conclusion is not arguable.
