Requirements

Select a software application, preferably an information system that you currently use in your work setting, to assess security threats. You may personally test the application as well as observe the practices of other users.

  • Identify system threats.
  • Examine the organization’s information-system policies for threat management, noting strengths as well as potential problem areas, with rationales.
  • Propose an evidence-based solution to each threat identified. In the event that you identify more than seven threats, prioritize the top seven and propose a solution for the three threats that you deem greatest.

If you do not currently have access to an automated system, then speak with your instructor to determine a mutually agreeable alternative.
