Case Study #1: Technology & Product Review for Endpoint Protection Solutions – Trend Micro Endpoint protection platforms, colloquia referred to as EPPs, initially began as simple anti-virus or anti-malware programs (Solutions Review, 2017). As cyber threats have evolved over the last twenty years, the need for broader information technology security solutions have also grown. Today EPPs have become a “swiss-army knife” security solution. Gartner Inc. an industry leading technology research and advisory company defines EPPs as “a solution that converges endpoint device security functionality into a single product” (Gartner, 2017). EPPs now not only provide anti-virus services, but also anti-spyware, firewall, intrusion prevention, and application …show more content…

Trend Micro, founded in the United States with its global headquarters located in Tokyo, Japan, is a proven leader in the IT security field with over 25 years of security experience (Trend Micro, 2017).

It offers advanced malware and ransomware protection, firewall services, file and web reputation, behavioral analysis, file recovery, application control as well as a litany of other security options (Trend Micro, 2017). Office Scan supports Windows operating systems, including Windows Xp and Vista legacy OS’s, and claims minimal impact to device resources, and provides 24hr customer support (Trend Micro, 2017). Trend Micro and their Office Scan platform have also strongly improved between Gartner’s 2013 and 2016 Magic Quadrant EPP reviews, with Gartner noting vastly upgraded application control solutions, as well as needed improvements to their “Control Manager” user interface (Firstbrook & Ouellet, Magic Quadrant for Endpoint Protection Platforms, 2016).

Network monitoring now is limited because of the number of servers it takes to deal with the large influx of router data. Router manufacturers have been attempting to combat this by adding counters to the routers that report on the number of data packets a router has processed during some time interval, but adding counters for every special task would be impractical and put more stress on servers since they would need thousands more to process the flood of data coming in. To combat this a system called Marple was created by researchers at MIT, Cisco Systems, and Barefoot Networks(Hardesty). Marple involves a programming language the allows network operators to specify a wide range of network-monitoring tasks and a small set of simple circuit elements that can execute any function specified in the language.

Recommendations Based on the data that I have collected both from the WJ III assessment and the CBA that I conducted, I would recommend that the focus of Brian’s help should be on applied problems with focus on math fluency. There were other areas where performed below grade equivalency but I feel that the focus should be on math fluency because there is a chance that once he has mastered math fluency, his performance in the area of applied problems may come up as a result. I recommend that Brian be tutored at least twice a week, every week for thirty minutes per session in order to help him with his math fluency and applied problems.
