Career Planning: Job Certifications, Growth Analysis, and IT Security

This assignment analyzes a student's career plan, focusing on job certifications and career growth in management consulting and IT security. Task 1 involves researching job advertisements for both immediate post-graduation and ten-year career goals, comparing educational and certification requirements. The student's aspirations evolve from a base-level role to a senior leadership position with a focus on system security and big data. Task 2 involves answering questions related to system security, proposing tools for risk management, and identifying resources that support hackers. The student identifies automated tools, risk assessment strategies, and security tools such as network security monitoring tools, encryption tools, and firewalls to protect systems. The assignment also includes references to support the analysis.

3. My plans have changed a lot in these 10 years as I now aim for goals which are more
centred towards leading the teams rather than working at the base level. I look for
opportunities which give me time to travel and meet with clients in person and expand
my networking as well. This will help m grow better in my life so that I can create for
myself opportunities which otherwise would have been a little difficult to get hold of.
I want to go more into system securities wing of IT where I can work with Big Data
and come up with solutions which can help create a secure system CITATION

Task 2
Question 3
Automated tools such as the log analysers that can be used to consolidate system logs
perform comparative analysis and try to detect the common occurrence of the behaviour. To
propose a valid proposal to the risk management branch of the IT, it is essential to have a
proper risk assessment done of the IT infrastructure as well CITATION Kar121 \l 1033
(Karthik Poojary, 2012). RA can be a good tool which can be used to ensure that helps the
organization identify risk immediately and suggests preventive measures as well. here, the
PSV processes help to identify and document other vulnerabilities that may be present in the
system and the potential damage that they can cause. Also, the wireless vulnerability
assessment process is designed in a way so that it can find and document any vulnerability
that may be present in the dial-up modems connected to the organization’s networks

Question 4

The following website is known to be supporting hackers:
http://www.elite-hackers.com/textfiles
When I was looking for hacking sites, I noticed that a lot of them were either difunctional or
were simply broken links CITATION BRA15 \l 1033 (STOSH, 2015). Finding these
websites were hard as they are all kind of obscure. Nmap is the only similar tool that I
noticed but there was a similar topic of interest such as loopholes in the system, breaking the
RA etc.
The following tools can be used for security of the system:
 Network Security Monitoring Tools
 Encryption Tools
 Blockchain
 Packet Sniffers
 Firewall
