Criteria Ratings Points

Demonstrates content mastery and a well-rounded understanding of security in a written report.

30 to >27.0 pts

Advanced

APA written report demonstrates clear content mastery, exceeds the instruction requirements, uses data from a working virtual machine (VM) environment, and uses strong scholarly support within the evaluations. Cyber security frameworks, standards, and research results are represented accurately and rigorously appraise network packet, protocols, and threat interventions.

27 to >24.0 pts

Proficient

APA written report demonstrates content comprehension, meets less than 90% of the instruction requirements, uses data from a working virtual machine (VM) environment, and uses proper scholarly support within the evaluations and/or cyber security frameworks, standards, and research results are mostly represented accurately and/or appropriately appraise network packet, protocols, and threat interventions.

24 to >0.0 pts

Developing

APA written report demonstrates inadequate content comprehension and/or meets less than 70% of the instruction requirements, uses data from a working virtual machine (VM) environment, and/or uses irrelevant scholarly support within the evaluations and/or cyber security frameworks, standards, and research results are not always represented accurately and/or appropriately appraise network packet, protocols, and threat interventions.

Criteria Ratings Points

Demonstrates excellent use of security knowledge, appropriate evaluations of security components, and use of proper assessment frameworks, standards, and tools through a Linux and subsequent operating system.

33 to >29.0 pts

Advanced

Excellent emulation in a real virtual machine (VM) environment and evaluation of over four (4) unique networking protocols and packet interventions using Linux. Optimal use of graphs and spreadsheets that compare the criterion. Indicates a comprehensive knowledge of evaluating modern cyber security threat and packet interventions, uses a minimum of two (2) unique security operating systems, at least one (1) being Linux, to perform accurate evaluations of security components, and applies proper assessment frameworks, standards, and security applications.
