Security & Penetration Testing of Web Application

A standard practice for web based tools is to conduct what is known as penetration tests at least once a year. This is a white-hat hacking approach in which a firm is given special permission to try and break into, exploit, or otherwise attempt to break a given product via security vulnerabilities. First, we would like students to get familiar with our product. Sign up, play around with it, understand generally how it works. Second, students should spend time conducting research on state of the art pen testing technologies. They should look into common vulnerability lists such as OWASP Top 10, and common security tools such as Nmap, Burp Suitar, Nessus, and Wireshark. Third, students should have a written attack plan and present it to us so we can confirm we understand what the test will do and what might be uncovered. Fourth, students are free to attack our product as per the presented plan

Incident Response Plan

Our company collects and processes large amounts of data from thousands of customers. It is of utmost importance that we keep this data confidential and safely manage personal information. We would like to collaborate with students to create an incident response plan. This plan would help our company respond to cybersecurity threats and maintain customer trust. This will involve several different steps for the students, including: Familiarizing themselves with our mission and vision statements. Completing a needs assessment. Identifying phases of the incident response process. Recommending procedures to identify and recover from cybersecurity threats. Bonus steps in the process would also include: Testing the incident response plan through a cybersecurity drill.

Social Enterprise B-Corporation Certification Plan

To achieve B-Corporation certification, our company must receive a minimum score on social and environmental performance. This is an online assessment that is overseen by the independent body that certifies B-Corporations (the B Lab). The assessment covers our entire operations and measures our impact in governance, workers, community, the environment, as well as our products and services. We also must integrate sustainability commitments to stakeholders into our governing documents.

Data Analytics and Data Science for OGOW Health

The main goal of this project is to use data, data analytics, and data science to ensure OGOW Health and its partners deepen impact, continuously learn, improve, build, and communicate compelling evidence of strengthened community health systems, high-impact community health practices, and ultimately improved health outcomes. This will involve several different steps for the students, including: - Analyzing existing datasets of health systems, practices, and outcomes. - Developing data analytics and data science models to identify areas of improvement. - Optimizing models for accuracy and performance. - Researching additional data sources and variables that can improve the models. - Accounting for additional variables in the models. - Testing the models and making improvements based on additional data.
