With the increase in internet connected devices, the number of unprotected and compromised devices is on the rise. While many corporations can afford security systems, homeowners and small businesses are left with traditional host-based antivirus that is limited to specific devices and operating systems. IC3 represents a prototype of a consumer-grade network intrusion detection system, providing users with enterprise-grade network security at an affordable cost and entry-level technical capability requirements. IC3 comes in the form of a router, with a built-in web interface for accessing detections and steps on how to remediate them.

With 345+ data points on 920,000+ companies worldwide PitchBook provides the industry's most comprehensive M&A, PE and VC database and analysis Platform. However, there is no accurate prediction of a company’s potential growth or logical, unbiased correlation between the many data points that will aid in decision-making process. Team Infoception performed extensive data research and analysis, and designed a visualization prototype that will provide needed insights to PitchBook’s customers. This dynamic, interactive dashboard provides unbiased insights based on user preferences and will hugely benefit PitchBook users to easily access, understand, compare and convert data to relevant, well-informed decisions.

Accessible design improves websites for everyone. Yet many websites do not yet follow these principles, creating a barrier for people with sensory, motor, cognitive and other disabilities. The Washington Health Benefit Exchange (WAHBE) wants to create specific policies and procedures to ensure such accessibility, which federal law requires. This project kickstarts their policy work, by pulling together an online resource guide of standards, toolkits, models and best practices. The guide can be updated and shared, and reflects scholarly and popular literature, practices and expertise from national and international sources.

The collection of Mormon Missionary Diaries at the L Tom Perry Special Collections at Brigham Young University is a very difficult collection to search and find materials as there are three different databases that each have different information. The Whittaker Bibliography, the Manuscript Collection, and the Digital Collection. Each have cause confusion and frustration for both staff and patron because of the many ineffective an inaccurate searches. My project was bringing these three different databases together and transferring the metadata into a one new database.

Cutting costs while improving the patient experience of care (including satisfaction and quality), can be a challenge. Instead of creating innovative programs, health organizations can utilize existing programs. Shifting patients use of facility to mail order programs may alleviate some of these withstanding issues and improve health outcomes overall. Research that I conducted showed that past endeavors did not include patient input or entire organizational involvement. Analyzing the past year’s data, I provided the organization with the number of facility orders that can be shifted to mail order (without any impact to patients) along with a predicted forecasted trend.

Emergency youth shelters provide a safe, stable, temporary living alternative to youth who are dealing with family crisis. The staff at these shelters have the difficult task of balancing client care with meeting state and federal grant requirements. Our project saves the staff of these shelters time by tracking the most commonly needed client information and providing an online form database that can be updated when requirements change. With our tool, staff can keep an up-to-date list of the status of each case, allowing them to complete state and federal reporting while freeing up more time for client care.

Before managers at North Central Regional Library create a new program program, they need to learn more about the information needs of their employees. What skills and information do librarians and other staff need to succeed in their work? Over several months, I sought an answer to this question, interviewing librarians and administering surveys to library staff. In the end, I came up with a written report that elucidated the information needs of the library’s employees. As a result, North Central Regional Library will be able to design better training programs in the future.

Our everyday devices such as smartphones, tablets, wearable technology and home appliances are now being connected to the Internet and to each other. As we continue to embed these interconnected objects, the security risks posed by the IoT is becoming more complex and may have serious consequences. However, vulnerabilities of IoT devices can be significantly mitigated if end users take necessary actions to secure their devices. IoTExposed will inform users about vulnerabilities of their IoT devices, and provide mitigation steps to prevent such vulnerabilities from exploiting their devices. Visit our website to find out how vulnerable your devices are!

This archival project, completed in conjunction with Village Theatre comprises historical perspective, inventory, arrangement, weeding, finding aids and rehousing for a minimally processed original collection of documents, photographic material and ephemera relating to their 37-year Mainstage production history in Issaquah and Everett. Deliverables include a database of collection materials with written instructions for accruals and maintenance of the remaining portions of the collection, and recommendations for further treatment such as digitization of A/V materials and options for a future digital archive.
