The Chief Information Officer (CIO) has seen reports of malicious activity increasing and has become extremely concerned with the protection of the intellectual property and highly sensitive data maintained by your organization. As one of your first work assignments with the company, the CIO requested you identify and draft a report identifying potential malicious attacks, threats, and vulnerabilities specific to your organization. In addition, the CIO would like you briefly explain each item and potential impact it could have on the organization.
Write a four to six (4-6) page paper in which you:
Analyze five (5) or more specific potential malicious attacks and/or threats that could be carried out against the network and organization.
Explain in detail the potential impact of the five (5) or more selected malicious attacks.
Propose at least nine (9) – 3 of each type of security controls (administrative, logical/technical, and physical) that you would consider implementing to protect against the selected potential malicious attacks.
Analyze three (3) or more potential risks for data loss and data theft that may exist in the documented network and applications.
Explain in detail the potential impact of the three (3) or more selected risks for data loss and data theft.
Propose at least three (3) – 1 of each type of security controls (administrative, logical/technical, and physical) that you would consider implementing to protect against the selected risks for data loss and data theft.
List and provide a product overview of only two (2) alternatives for each logical/technical security control for both data loss/theft and malicious attacks. Include web links to the products and why those products should be considered.
