Assignment
2: Identifying Potential Risk, Response, and Recovery
Due
Week 8 and worth 75 points
In
Assignment 1: Identifying Potential Malicious Attacks, Threats, and
Vulnerabilities, you were recently hired as an Information Security Engineer
for a videogame development company. After viewing a growing number of reports
detailing malicious activity, the CIO requested you identify and draft a report
identifying potential malicious attacks, threats, and vulnerabilities specific
to your organization. He asked you to include a brief explanation of each item
and the potential impact it could have on the organization.
After
review of your report, the CIO requests that you develop a follow-up plan
developing a strategy for dealing with all risks (i.e., risk mitigation, risk
assignment, risk acceptance, or risk avoidance) identified in Assignment 1.
Further, your plan should identify controls (i.e., administrative,
preventative, detective, and corrective) that will be used to mitigate each
risk previously identified.
Write
a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:
1. For each malicious attack and
threat identified in Assignment 1, choose a strategy for dealing with the risk
(i.e., risk mitigation, risk assignment, risk acceptance, or risk avoidance).
2. For each malicious attack and
threat identified in Assignment 1, develop controls (i.e., administrative,
preventative, detective, and corrective) that will be used to mitigate each
risk.
3. For each vulnerability identified
in Assignment 1, choose a strategy for dealing with the risk (i.e., risk
mitigation, risk assignment, risk acceptance, or risk avoidance).
4. For each vulnerability identified
in Assignment 1, develop controls (i.e., administrative, preventative,
detective, and corrective) that will be used to mitigate each risk.
