There are quite a few vulnerabilities that can affect organizations productivity. These vulnerabilities can be environmental, utilities & service, criminal behavior, equipment failure, and information security issues. To protect the organization against loss of productivity and data loss we have created an assessment of the potential danger each category of threat presents. We created a worksheet (located on the last page of this document) listing each type of vulnerability and ranked the probability and severity of each of the threats. Using a probability and severity legend that had one…
At its core, the purpose of a risk assessment is identifying and evaluating risks that may potentially have a negative impact on an organization. It can help management understand the impact in terms of costs to the organization or the severity of a loss depending on the methodology used to conduct the risk assessment. The goal is to provide sound recommendations based on the risk assessment to help maintain data confidentiality, integrity and vulnerability while ensuring functionality and usability. Based on the results, management can make more informed decisions about what resources to protect, how to protect them and understand the potential costs and impact. Once the purpose of the risk assessment is understood, defining the scope is next.…

Choose one of the Facts for Consideration sections from Ch. 3 of the text and list the page number for the section you chose. Then, complete the following table. List five threats appropriate to the environment from the section you chose. Rate the risk for each threat from 0 (low) to 10 (high). Then, list five appropriate countermeasures. Once you complete the table, write a brief explanation of the countermeasures for the two threats with the highest risk total, stating how the countermeasure reduces the risk associated with that threat.…
Today, organizations need not only to understand current trends in security threats but also be able to identify inherent vulnerabilities within existing systems.For this exercise to be successful, I would suggest employing an ethical hacker – a person who is not with the company but is very knowledgeable about and can use techniques that hackers use to break into corporate networks. An ethical hacker though is not a person who does so for malicious purposes, but to analyzed and discovered the top vulnerabilities and threats that have the most potential to negatively impact to the organization for security purposes. The reason for employing someone who is not with the company for this test is simple: it is to guage the response of those in the IT department. Since the IT department is relatively small – only 12 people, it would be difficult to run this test if one of them were roleplaying the hacker from outside of the company.…
It is difficult to conduct a qualitative risk assessment for an IT infrastructure because it determines the level of risk based on the probability and impact of the risk. You determine these values by gathering the opinions of experts.…
The answer is likely to include reference to the importance of completing a risk assessment to minimise risk before undertaking work in the field. Types of risk assessment documentation and how risk is assessed could be covered; this may be before the investigation is undertaken and also in the field. The value of a preparatory visit to the area and/or testing any equipment to be used as a part of risk assessment could be discussed. The use of group data and the security it provides may also feature; this might include the composition of a group in some cases.…
Many organizations perform risk assessments to measure the amount of risks that could affect their organization, and identify ways to minimize these risks before a major disaster occurs. Department of Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) follows guidelines and policies governed by processes by which the organization assesses and manages exposure to risks. In this paper the subject to identify is the risks and potential effects associated with the areas of the organization pertaining to security, auditing, and disaster recovery.…
