This assignment will give you an opportunity to learn more about secondary storage technologies, communications, and networks. Before working on this assignment, you will need to complete the Unit IV Knowledge Check.

Reflect on what you have learned about secondary storage, communications, and network security in this unit. Address the following three areas in a two-page written response:

Secondary Storage Technologies

Scenario: Your boss wants you to back up your presentation files. You will need to do some research to find the best storage method. Research secondary storage technologies, such as SSDs, HDDs, flash drives, optical discs, magnetic tapes, and cloud storage.

Communications

Scenario: As the industry prepares for the transition from fifth-generation (5G) to sixth-generation (6G) networks, your boss as asked you to identify potential benefits and drawbacks of 6G mobile telecommunications. Research 6G technology.

• Part 3: Discuss two potential benefits and two potential drawbacks to the widespread adoption of 6G technology.

Network Security

Scenario: Your company allows its workers to telework from home. As a remote worker, you will need to use a virtual private network (VPN). Research the concept of VPNs, their role in establishing secure and encrypted connections over public networks, and their relevance in remote work environments.

• Part 4: Compare different types of networks.
• Part 5: Explain the primary benefits that VPNs offer to remote workers, and how they contribute to ensuring secure and private communication over the internet.
• Part 6: Explain the potential risks and threats that remote workers may encounter when accessing company resources without using a VPN. Explain organizational issues related to internet technologies and network security.
