1). Critically analyze current European and United States industry standards or recommendations for any Information Technology (IT) area or subarea (e.g., intrusion detection, data recovery, data retention, intrusion prevention, network infrastructure, identity validation, project management, telecommunications, etc.).
Compare and contrast the standards or recommendations identifying any similarities and differences between them. Be sure to identify which standard is better. Remember to support your opinion with factual information.
2). Describe a System/Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) model and methodology then apply this model and methodology to a project using the Information Technology (IT) specialization you wrote about in your 1st question.
Be sure to define the SDLC model and methodology and identify which SDLC step is associated with each project component.
