process.
1.1. Students submit research proposals included
- Context: Data storage and network security protection are two significant and challenging
challenges for businesses and individuals in the modern digital age. The complexity of
cybersecurity threats is rising along with the amount of data being generated and stored.
The state of network information security is challenging because agencies, businesses,
national security and defense establishments, and government agencies all have their
network systems often targeted by attacks, intrusions, and data theft. media from numerous
nations.
As a result, how data is managed and arranged is greatly influenced by data storage types.
These can include more modern models like distributed storage and cloud storage, as well as
more established ones like relational databases and file systems. However, there are inherent
cybersecurity concerns associated with adopting and using these models in addition to their
benefits.
Research and comprehension of data storage models and cybersecurity threats are required
to guarantee data safety and security. This makes it easier for educators and learners to
comprehend how crucial it is to preserve and use data securely.

- I chose the topic "Storage models; Cyber security risks" because I understand how
important it is to learn about these two areas of study. As information technology continues
to advance and data volumes rise quickly, it is now crucial to ensure data security and safety.
Students will have the information and abilities needed to implement efficient security
measures and guarantee the safety of data in a secure environment if they have a solid
understanding of data storage models and cybersecurity threats. to live and work at school.

- The topic of "Storage models; Cyber security risks" will involve a variety of research
methodologies, including data collection from learning resources, prior studies, and online
information sources. In order to tackle the subject, students will examine current data storage
models and pinpoint associated cybersecurity threats.

- Result: Gain a deeper understanding of the current data storage models and how they
impact the use and management of data in homes and workplaces.
Determine and evaluate the cybersecurity risks connected to data storage models, including
dangers like invasions, hacks, data loss, and the disclosure of sensitive information, among
others.
Provide procedures and answers for issues relating to network security in particular data
storage architectures. These remedies could involve implementing data encryption,
constructing monitoring systems, and using cyber security measures, among other things.
Provide a reference framework or manual to help people and organizations adopt secure data
storage methods.
Assist in bringing cybersecurity and data management to the attention of corporate and
academic sectors.

1.2. Provide approaches for the research proposed above.

- Concept of primary and secondary research:

+ Primary research: This is the procedure for gathering fresh data by carrying out an inquiry,
survey, experiment, or in-person observation. Primary research does not draw from prior
findings; instead, it concentrates on gathering data from unique sources of information.

+ Secondary research: This involves comprehending and evaluating data that has been
gathered from publicly accessible information sources, such as study guides, publications,
earlier research, and internet databases. The analysis and reuse of current data for new
research goals is the main goal of secondary research.

- Primary and secondary research approaches:

+ Primary research:
- Document analysis: Analyze books, reports, and materials about network security and
model storage issues. Discover the relevant policy, technological, and technical aspects.
- Survey: Survey users or professionals in the fields of network security and storage to
gather information. Ask open-ended or closed-ended questions to elicit feedback and
comments from participants.
- Data analysis: Analyze information gathered from many sources, including surveys,
research studies, and open data. To reach conclusions, use analytical and statistical
techniques.
+ Secondary research:
- Synthetic analysis: Compile data from examined primary sources to create a summary of
network security and model storage concerns. Information comparison, assessment, and
organization may fall under this category.
- Content analysis: thorough examination of certain model storage and cybersecurity risk
areas. Find out about the field's influential elements, emerging trends, and associated
problems.
- Build a theoretical framework: Construct a theoretical framework or model to elucidate
your viewpoint on model storage and cybersecurity threats using data from primary research.

1.3. Qualitative, quantitative, and mixed research methods.

- Qualitative and quantitative research:
+ Qualitative research: concentrates on characterizing, comprehending, and elucidating
qualitative features, characteristics, or phenomena in a study problem. This approach gathers
non-numerical data using methods like observation, interviews, and document study.

+ Quantitative research: focuses on gathering and examining numerical data in order to

ascertain how the variables in the study problem relate to one another. This approach makes
use of statistical and mathematical methods to make findings and validate ideas.

- Mixed research:
In a single study task, mixed research combines quantitative and qualitative research
methods. With this adaptable approach, which combines elements of data analysis and
descriptive research, researchers can obtain a thorough understanding of the research
problem.
- How to approach and apply the above methods:
+ Access to primary research: Examine pertinent papers on cybersecurity threats and model
storage first. Find out about the relevant technical, technological, and policy aspects. After
that, a survey can be used to get feedback from users or subject-matter experts.
+ Secondary research approach: Apply quantitative approaches to ascertain the association
between cybersecurity risks and model storage based on data gathered from primary
research. Utilize statistical methods to test theories and reach conclusions.
