CMGT 430 Assignment Week 3 Responding to Threats
www.newtonhelp.com
A few Assignment Weeks ago, a nearby hospital, which is very
similar in operations and scale to Auburn Regional, was the target of a
ransomware attack. You have kept a close eye on this event. You
decide to complete a review of current material available regarding
ransomware attacks and especially ransomware and hospital
enterprise systems.
Develop a 1- to 2-page chart. Your chart should have four columns
for Authorization, Authentication, Roles, and Mitigation, as well as
three columns for Small, Medium, and Large businesses. The chart

should compare four attributes that are critical in enterprise systems
today. Populate and extrapolate what steps can be taken to mitigate
threats for small, medium, and large hospital enterprise systems.
Based on your chart, provide a final recommendation on how the
hospital can respond to the threat. Summarize your chart findings,
provide your recommendation, and answer the following questions in
a brief, 2- to 3-page executive summary to the Auburn Regional
management team:
How could changes to authorization, authentication, and roles help
mitigate and deal with these systems threats?
How do you verify people and security levels?
How will your recommendations alleviate the threat?
Include the chart in your executive summary.
===============================================
CMGT 430 Assignment Week 4 Cloud Computing
www.newtonhelp.com
Your work so far has been well-received and the management team is
very interested in quickly bringing the rest of the organization into the
process. The management team has expressed interest in
incorporating cloud technology as part of the Auburn Regional's IT
architecture. To integrate both of these requests, you decide to create
an infographic that could, on a single diagram, give the reader an idea
of what cloud technology is and how it could be used by Auburn

Regional as these enterprise systems updates are in action. As you
might imagine, there is a wealth of information on the internet
involving the use of cloud computing.
Consider the following information and outline your answers:
What are the pros and cons of cloud computing?
Where could cloud computing fit in the organizational structure and
operations?
How do companies that enter cloud technology agreements pass on
those issues to their customers?
How do these companies really know where their data and the data of
their customers is really stored?
What precautions are being taken?
Using your outline, create an original infographic for a presentation to
the Auburn Regional management team that shows:
The basics of cloud computing
Overview of pros and cons of cloud computing
Where cloud computing could possibly fit into the organizational
structure and operations
At least two concerns that need to be addressed
Include your outline on a separate document to support your
infographic.
===============================================
CMGT 430 Assignment Week 5 Enterprise Security Plan
Strategic Objectives
www.newtonhelp.com

An enterprise security plan is a document that explains the security
exposure that an entity would encounter in a specific marketplace. A
committee of people typically writes this document over a span of a
few months. Many times the drafts begin with developing a high-level
overview of strategic objectives that address how to secure the
enterprise inside and outside the enterprise.
The CEO asks you to explain the core principles of enterprise
security and respond to five strategic objectives as part of the overall
enterprise system security plan draft. They are:
Data loss prevention
Access controls
Data management
Risk management
Cloud technology
For each of the five strategic objectives, write a response that
addresses the following:

Key initiative: Why is this topic important to Auburn Regional?
Objectives: What is the desired outcome to this effort?
Description: What is the specific strategic objective? Provide a high-
level explanation.
Benefits: What will be the benefits of this effort?
Outcome: What will be done to meet this objective?
Include any charts, graphics, or infographics created in previous
Assignment Weeks that support your findings.
Compile your response with the following:
An updated executive summary
A final recommendation
At least three new references throughout your plan overview, cited
according to APA guidelines.

Incorporate feedback and use previous assignments as a resource. As
a guideline, an overview of this nature is typically 3 to 4 pages long.
===============================================
CMGT 430 Discussion Due Diligence
www.newtonhelp.com
Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:
Just a few years ago, all IT processing took place in-house. Payroll
processing, human resources and benefits management, real estate
management, and investor relations were done by employees within
the parent organization. Even in the home environment, families kept
information activities in-house, including annual tax returns and
banking (through the writing of paper checks) and disagreements or
issues with vendors was taken care of personally. Now we have
online resources that push some of that overhead to external vendors.
Examples include organizations that will process payroll and benefits
administration, and stock brokerages that address investor traffic.
Working with vendors brings up a few concerns.
Discuss the following: 
• Why is due diligence necessary when dealing with external
vendors?
• What is one suggestion you have regarding securing data as it is
in-transit to and from these vendors?
• What are two security protocols that should be part of the
vendor's data operations? For example, if the data includes

PII/SPII information, is adherence to external regulations and
guidelines the responsibility of the vendor or your
organization?
===============================================
CMGT 430 Discussion Mainframe And Client/Server
Environments
www.newtonhelp.com
Consider the following scenario: 
Your manufacturing company has operated with a mainframe IBM
computer for more than 20 years. Recent technological advances have
brought opportunities to replace that mainframe-based computing
environment with a client/server environment. You have been tasked
with responding to the senior management group about the security
issues involved with replacing the existing mainframe computer
environment with a client/server platform. The salespeople you deal
with from each vendor believe that the current mainframe
environment costs about $500K a year to maintain from a security
standpoint, while a client/server environment would cost about $325K
a year. But cost is not the only consideration. No PII or SPII data is
contained in this manufacturing platform. It is strictly a final product
for sale application.
Outline and review a typical mainframe enterprise security footprint. 
Do the same for a possible client/server environment. This could
include the use of the cloud for distributed computing, but that would
also include unique security concerns.

Discuss the following: 
• Based on your outline, which of these environments is more
secure and why?
• Does your outline show commonalities that could permit both
the mainframe and the client/server environment to coexist from
an enterprise security perspective? If so, what are they?
===============================================
CMGT 430 Discussion Security Checkpoint
www.newtonhelp.com
At many security checkpoints where biometrics are used, only one
protocol is employed, such as a fingerprint reader, a hand-scanner, or
facial recognition. Other checkpoints use several biometric
checkpoint protocols in tandem to add a layer of security.
Complete an internet search for vendors of biometric products. Find 
one vendor with a product designed to examine several characteristics
[i.e., facial recognition, hand scanner (incorporates hand pattern,
fingerprint reader), retina scan, and signature recognition].
Discuss the vendor you selected along with answers to the following 
questions:
• Which characteristics would be more acceptable to users?
• Which would be preferred by security administrators?

===============================================
CMGT 430 Week 1 Individual IT Systems Connection Table

www.newtonhelp.com
Refer to the course scenario.
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. It is important to know the different
interconnections each system may have.
During your review of the hospital's current documents and files, you
run across an IT systems connection table that was never completed
by your predecessors. This document has a table that shows the
relationship between multiple IT systems.

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,

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 faculty-
approved 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:

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

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.
