Project Paper Instructions:<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Purpose\n<\/div>\n
This project provides you an opportunity to analyze risks, threats, and vulnerabilities and apply\n<\/div>\n
countermeasures in the information systems environment.\n<\/div>\n
Introduction\n<\/div>\n
Contemporary organizations collect, store, and transmit a tremendous amount of highly sensitive\n<\/div>\n
data. Despite the many benefits that information technology offers, these systems are not\n<\/div>\n
completely secure. Proper controls must be put in place to mitigate security risks and protect vital\n<\/div>\n
business information.\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Scenario\n<\/div>\n
Fullsoft, Inc. is a software development company based in New York City. Fullsoft\u2019s software\n<\/div>\n
product development code is kept confidential in an effort to safeguard the company\u2019s\n<\/div>\n
competitive advantage in the marketplace. Fullsoft recently experienced a malware attack; as<\/div>\n
a result, proprietary information seems to have been leaked. The company is now in the\n<\/div>\n
process of recovering from this breach.\n<\/div>\n
You are a security professional who reports to Fullsoft\u2019s infrastructure operations team. The Chief\n<\/div>\n
Technology Officer asks you and your colleagues to participate in a team meeting to discuss\n<\/div>\n
the incident and its potential impact on the company.\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Tasks\n<\/div>\n
Prepare for the meeting by deliberating on the following questions:\n<\/div>\n
\u2022 How would you assess the risks, threats, and\/or vulnerabilities that may have allowed this\n<\/div>\n
incident to occur, or could allow a similar incident to occur in the future?\n<\/div>\n
\u2022 What insights about risks, threats, and\/or vulnerabilities can you glean from reports of\n<\/div>\n
similar incidents that have occurred in other organizations?\n<\/div>\n
\u2022 What potential outcomes should the company anticipate as a result of the malware attack\n<\/div>\n
and possible exposure of intellectual property?\n<\/div>\n
\u2022 Which countermeasures would you recommend the company implement to detect current\n<\/div>\n
vulnerabilities, respond to the effects of this and other successful attacks, and prevent\n<\/div>\n
future incidents?\n<\/div>\n
Write an outline of key points (related the questions above) that the team should discuss at the\n<\/div>\n
meeting.\n<\/div>\n
As a reminder, you may use the book for this course and the Internet to conduct research. You\n<\/div>\n
are encouraged to respond creatively, but you must cite credible sources to support your\n<\/div>\n
work.\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Your Project should be submitted in the following format and style:\n<\/div>\n
\uf0a7 Format: Microsoft Word\n<\/div>\n
\uf0a7 Font: Arial, Size 12, Double-Space\n<\/div>\n
\uf0a7 Citation Style: APA format, see link https:\/\/owl.english.purdue.edu\/owl\/resource\/560\/02\/\n<\/div>\n
\uf0a7 Length: 5\u20136 pages double space.\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Self-Assessment Checklist\n<\/div>\n
\uf0b7 I have created an outline that describes key points the team should discuss at the\n<\/div>\n
meeting. My outline explains how to assess potential risks, threats, and\/or vulnerabilities;\n<\/div>\n
describes potential outcomes of a malware attack and exposure of confidential\n<\/div>\n
information; and recommends countermeasures the company should implement.\n<\/div>\n
\uf0b7 I have conducted adequate independent research for this part of the project. <\/div>\n
