1. Assignment 2: Cybersecurity
We use computers and electronic systems to run and store just
about everything. Personal computers and the Internet are now
included as part of the Department of Homeland Security's
cybersecurity issues.
Cybersecurity involves protecting the information by
preventing, detecting, and responding to attacks on information
that is housed in technology.
There are many levels of risks in cybersecurity, some more
serious and damaging than others. Among these dangers are:
Viruses erasing the entire system.
Individuals breaking into personal computer systems and
altering the systems' files.
Individuals using personal computers to attack others' computer
systems.
Individuals stealing credit card information and making
unauthorized purchases.
Unfortunately, there is no 100% guarantee that even with the
best precautions some of these things won't happen. Risk
reduction steps exist to minimize vulnerability to information.
Tasks:
Create a PowerPoint Presentation containing 6–8 slides to
address the following:
Analyze and discuss the vulnerabilities and recommend what
security management can do to minimize the potential of a
government or private organization being at risk for
cybersecurity damage.
Outline the steps you recommend and identify any impediments
to successfully implementing the suggested cybersecurity
program.
Support your presentation with at least three outside scholarly
resources using APA in-text citations. Add detailed speaker
notes for each of the slides.
