The rising presence of Internet of Things (IoT) devices is leading to escalating cybersecurity vulnerabilities.

Portfolio including Final Paper – Items 1 – 3 of the PortfolioInstructionsPortfolio Assignment Instructions Be sure you read and follow the instructions about revising previously graded work before putting it back in your portfolio. If you don’t make suggested revisions, you could lose valuable points. Please be sure to read all of this assignment description carefully. It’s very detailed. It describes two separate things. However, all items will be submitted in ONE Word document.The portfolio that contains elements you have been working on throughout the course; and The final paper (problem analysis) that you will include as part of the portfolio. Let’s look at the BIG picture first, the final portfolio. What is a portfolio? A portfolio is a collection of items organized in a notebook, file, or a similar format. By collecting this information throughout a course, you can clearly see the connections among assignments as well as the progress you have made. In ENGL110, your portfolio will reflect the work you have done in a specific discipline or topic, ending with the analysis of a problem you have explored. Here are the required elements of the portfolio. The required sections are included in the template. Title Page Table of Contents Item 1 of the Portfolio – Tips for Communicating in Your Field This is the reflections portion (part 3) of the initial post you made in the week 2 discussion. You are to submit a final version of the post, including any changes recommended to you in the instructor’s feedback or observations you’ve made since you made the post. Item 2 of the Portfolio – Annotated Bibliography for your Final Paper This is the assignment you submitted in week 4. You are to submit a final version of the annotated bibliography, including any changes recommended to you in the instructor’s feedback. Item 3 of the Portfolio – Final Paper – Analysis of a Problem This is the final problem analysis paper that is the culmination of all the work you have done in the course. Please see the complete description of the paper below. Final Paper (Problem Analysis)Assignment Instructions This analysis project requires you to tackle a problem within your field of study by first exploring it, its causes, and its impacts. Then, if you want, you can recommend one or more practical solutions to solve the problem. After deciding on the problem you wish to tackle, begin building questions about it. Your goal for the analysis is to answer the questions through your sources. Finding multiple angles and perspectives is ideal so that you explore those possibilities in the final paper before settling on your recommendation. Be sure to identify what is at stake. Here are questions to help guide your analysis: What is the problem being addressed (explain, describe, and “prove” that it exists)? Who is affected by this problem? Why does this problem exist? (Identify the root causes.) Why does the problem persist? (Identify the major factors that contribute to the problem’s ongoing presence.) What is at stake if the problem is not solved? If you decide to include a solution, use these questions to guide you: Who can take action? What should they do, exactly? Why would this help? What are the positive and negative aspects of your solution(s)? PURPOSE: To analyze a problem and possibly provide a solution AUDIENCE: Classmates, others interested in the field LENGTH: 750-900 words (Times New Roman font). Please do not go significantly (~10%) under or above the word count requirement. This word count includes only the paragraphs in your final essay (not the Works Cited/References page or previously submitted sections).SOURCES: 5 (five) sources from the APUS Library (These may include sources you used in previous assignments. Going under this number will cost points in grading.) FORMAT: The citation style that is appropriate for your discipline Submit your assignment as a Word document attached to the assignment link so it can be automatically processed through Turnitin. You can save your paper with a title like this: Your Name Portfolio Final Paper. Turnitin Scores Because parts of the portfolio (items 1 and 2) have already been processed in Turnitin, they are now part of Turnitin’s database. That means that, when a portfolio is submitted, Turnitin will identify the phrasing it has previously “seen” (such as items 1 and 2 of the portfolio).Turnitin scores are likely to be high for all portfolios. Don’t panic. Review the Turnitin report and you are likely to see that much of the matching phrasing is from work you previously submitted. Your instructor understands this and will focus on the Turnitin matches in the final paper.”Item 1 of the Portfolio Tips for Communicating in My Field My Name: Josue Torres My Field of Study (Program): Computer Technology Below are the tips for communicating in my field that I posted in the week 2 discussion (section 3 of my initial week 2 post): Something important I would suggest for communicating in the Computer Science field is to aim for clarity and precision while using formal language and including technical terminology when appropriate but avoid overcomplicating explanations. It is important to organize the writing into clear sections to make ideas easy to follow. Also, it can include visuals, such as diagrams or programming code, to enrich understanding. Always support writing with evidence, whether it’s data, research, or commented code examples. Finally, maintain a professional tone and always go over the work to ensure accuracy and veracity.””Josue Torres Professor: Ann Cramer COMM120 February 2nd, 2025 Annotated Bibliography Zhao, Y., Zhang, X., & Guo, Y. “Securing the Internet of Things: Challenges and Solutions.” IEEE Internet of Things Journal, vol. 11, no. 4, 2024, pp. 2564–2577. https://doi.org/10.1109/JIOT.2024.3381641. The authors, Zhao, Zhang, and Guo are very experienced in cybersecurity and IoT technologies, and their studies have deeply improved in this industry. This piece looks closely at the security problems that come with IoT devices. It discusses issues like privacy concerns, unauthorized access, and the weaknesses that result from devices being connected to each other. The authors suggest different security methods, such as strong encryption, using edge computing for better security, and AI-based systems for identifying threats. The piece also views the ongoing and new quality for IoT security and how it can be incorporated in designing and building devices. This piece will help me with my final project because it points out the problems and viable solutions for securing IoT devices. It provides information for both technical and strategic. I am very fascinated by how recent technologies like AI and edge computing can help reduce the weaknesses in my research. The detailed examples and analysis will provide substantial depth to my study, especially in illustrating real-world security concerns in IoT systems.”
