Consider a file system on a disk that has both logical and physical block sizes of 512 bytes. Assume that the information about each file is already in memory (i. e. the file control block and its metadata are in memory but everything else (such as the data or index blocks) are not). For each of the three allocation strategies (contiguous, linked, and indexed), answer these questions:

(a) How is the logical-to-physical address mapping accomplished in this system? (For the indexed allocation, assume that a file is always less than 512 blocks long.)
Contiguous:
Linked:
Indexed:

(b) If we are currently at logical block 10 (i. e. the last block accessed was block 10) and want to access logical block 4, how many physical blocks must be read from the disk?

You have just been hired as an information security engineer for a large, multi-international corporation. unfortunately, your company has suffered multiple security breaches that have threatened customers' trust in the fact that their confidential data and financial assets are private and secured. credit-card information was compromised by an attack that infiltrated the network through a vulnerable wireless connection within the organization. the other breach was an inside job where personal data was stolen because of weak access-control policies within the organization that allowed an unauthorized individual access to valuable data. your job is to develop a risk-management policy that addresses the two security breaches and how to mitigate these risks. requirementswrite a brief description of the case study. it requires two to three pages, based upon the apa style of writing. use transition words; a thesis statement; an introduction, body, and conclusion; and a reference page with at least two references. use a double-spaced, arial font, size 12.
