In the first part of the assignment you will be required to look at the different operating system services for activities such as process control, threading, memory management and device access etc. In part 2, you are required to evaluate different operating systems and identify any security risks associated with them and investigate the ways to manage these with a range of supporting technologies Completion of this assignment will address the following learning outcomes: 3 Describe and make productive use of operating system services for activities such as process control, threading, memory management and device access. 4 Evaluate operating systems and identify related security risks and ways to manage these with a range of supporting technologies. mailto:
[email protected] Task: You are expected to produce a 1500 word report on various operating system services and features and your evaluation of different operating systems on security risks and vulnerabilities associated with them. Your report should include the ways to manage these risks, supporting technologies for the management of risks and relevant management strategies. You are advise to include operating systems such as Linux, Windows and Windows Server etc. Part 1: Describe and include evidences of making productive use of operating system services such as: • Input and output. • Pipes and filters. • Access control. • Process concepts, process management (starting and stopping), threads and threading models, concurrency and parallel processing. • Scheduling. • Memory management including stack, heap, shared memory, virtual memory, addressing, paging, swapping, buffers, ringbuffer. Part 2: Evaluate different operating systems and identify related security risks and vulnerabilities and ways to manage these risks and vulnerabilities with a range of supporting technologies and management strategies. Your investigation is expected to cover the following areas. • Security risks, security management strategies and options evaluation. • Malicious software • Buffer overflow • Access control • Security maintenance Further Details & Guidance Written assignment structure: 1.

[email protected] * Please note that you will need to provide third party evidence to support your reasoning for requiring an extension or deferral. * Your course tutor is NOT able to approve an extension or a deferral, if you have not completed the official forms and had your request approved your work will count as not submitted and receive a zero mark. Plagiarism and Malpractice * You are encouraged to check the originality of your work by using the draft Turnitin links on your Moodle Web. * Collusion between students (where sections of your work are similar to the work submitted by other students in this or previous module cohorts) is taken extremely seriously and will be reported to the academic conduct panel. This applies to all coursework and exam answers. * A marked difference between your writing style, knowledge and skill level demonstrated in class discussion, any test conditions and that demonstrated in a coursework assignment may result in you having to undertake a Viva Voce in order to prove the coursework assignment is entirely your own work. * If you make use of the services of a proof reader in your work you must keep your original version and make it available as a demonstration of your written efforts. * You must not submit work for assessment that you have already submitted (partially or in full), either for your current course or for another qualification of this university, unless this is specifically provided for in your assignment brief or specific course or module information. Where earlier work by you is citable, ie. it has already been published/submitted, you must reference it clearly. Identical pieces of work submitted concurrently will also be considered to be self-plagiarism.
