CMGT 430 Week 1 Individual IT Systems Connection Table

For more classes visit


www.snaptutorial.com CMGT 430 Week 1 Individual: IT Systems Connection Table Enterprise systems consist of multiple IT systems. It is important to know the different interconnections each system may have. IT systems do not operate alone in the modern enterprise, so securing them will involve securing their interfaces with other systems, as well as the system itself. Complete the University of Phoenix Material: IT System Connection Table for four different IT systems. The table is located in the Materials section to the right. Complete the directions within the document. They are as follows:  Note two systems they connect with and their connection type.  Note two security vulnerabilities the system may have and two to four ways each vulnerability could be potentially exploited. Submit your assignment to the Assignment Files tab above. IT System Connection Table When securing the modern enterprise, consider that IT systems do not operate alone. Securing them involves securing their interfaces with other systems as well. It is important to know the different interconnections each system may have. Fill out the following table for four different IT systems.  Note two enterprise systems they connect with and their connection type.  Note two security vulnerabilities the connection may have and two to four ways each vulnerability could be potentially Additional Comments:  An example row has been entered into the table in blue. This is only an example and should not limit what you do.


 Keep in mind that enterprise systems cover a certain task in the enterprise (HR, CRM, Identity Management, etc.). They are not the components of a system (such as servers).  Connections can often be a direct connection/pipe, a file, a common database, or something else.  The vulnerability is what would make the connection vulnerable to an attack.  The related risk is an attack that could target the weakness. *******************************************************

CMGT 430 Week 2 Individual Applying Risk Management Consulting

For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com CMGT 430 Week 2 Individual Applying Risk Management Consulting Note: This is the first of three assignments that will be completed for this three-assignment project, ending with a final paper in Week Four. You have been hired as a consultant and asked to provide a presentation on the company's risk management to the CIO. Create a 5- to 7-slide narrated presentation on the following information: • Describe how the organization can apply risk management principles in its efforts to secure their systems. • Outline how protection efforts will vary over time.


• Include three different example sets, each with a vulnerability, related risk, and way to mitigate (control) that item. Use any slide presentation software of your choosing. Submit your presentation to the Assignment Files tab above *******************************************************

CMGT 430 Week 2 Learning Team Vulnerabilities and Threat Pairs

For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com CMGT 430 Week 2 Learning Team: Vulnerabilities and Threat Pairs Select an organization that you are familiar with or an organization from a published case study. Find case studies through the following sources or through a facultyapproved source. Suggestions are as follows:  Search within University Library for these periodicals  Information Week  CSO  SC Magazine The CEO of your selected organization has requested an enterprise security plan from your team. The first step to developing an enterprise security plan is to identify the specific vulnerabilities and related risks facing an organization. This list should be fairly exhaustive. Many vulnerability and threat pairs will not make the final cut for remediation, but an organization can only properly prioritize these if it has fully covered all of the risks. Create a list of 30 information security vulnerabilities with related threats relevant to the organization. Keep in mind:


 Most vulnerabilities will have more than one related threat.  Cover both physical and logical vulnerabilities. Place your list in the first two columns of a table in a Microsoft® Word or Excel® document. The table will resemble the following: *******************************************************

CMGT 430 Week 3 Individual Using Roles

For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com CMGT 430 Week 3 Individual: Using Roles Note: This is the second of three parts to this project. Refer back to your organization used in the Week Two Applying Risk Management Consulting assignment. A better way to control user access to data is to tie data access to the role a user plays in an organization. Some organizations are still learning this. Your presentation this week persuades the CIO of your target organization of the importance of controlling user access. Create a 5- to 7-narrated slide presentation discussing the following:  The value of separating duties in the organization  The value of using roles to segregate the data and system access needs of individuals in the organization  Why a role-based access control (RBAC) system would be the best way to accomplish this, including both the advantages and disadvantages of such a system Use any slide presentation software of your choosing. Submit your presentation to the Assignment Files tab above. *******************************************************


CMGT 430 Week 3 Learning Team Ranking the Pairs

For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com CMGT 430 Week 3 Learning Team: Ranking the Pairs The CEO of your selected organization has requested an enterprise security plan from your team. This week you will prioritize the threats and vulnerabilities previously identified, and determine which need attention and which may be left for another time. This is done by determining the probability of the risk and the potential impact it may have on the organization. Your objective is to address the risks with the highest probability of happening, with the highest impact on the organization. Extend your table from Week Two to include columns for Probability of Risk and Impact of Risk on the organization. Include mitigation steps of the top 20 pairs. Part 1 Fill out the final three columns in the table from the previous week. Rate the probability and impact of each vulnerability-threat pair as High, Medium, or Low. (These are independent of each other.) Rank the pairs in the order they should be addressed by the organization. (High/High rows will be at the top and Low/Low rows at the bottom.) The team will have to decide where to rank rows which are not at these extremes. Suggest specific mitigation steps to take for the top 20 rows. You will go into more detail for the final project due in Week Five. Leave the Suggested Mitigation Steps column empty for rows below the top 20. Part 2


Prepare a brief explanation on the final rankings.  Describe how the team finally ranked the pairs and the reasoning behind the suggested mitigation steps.  Focus on the top 20 rows, but cover why the others were ranked lower and will not be addressed at this time.  Keep this explanation brief and clear but informative. Submit your updated table and explanation to the Assignment Files tab above. *******************************************************

For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com CMGT 430 Week 4 Learning Team: Draft of the Enterprise Security Plan and Presentation The CEO of your selected organization has requested an enterprise security plan from your team.
