Description
Use the web to conduct research on recent computer-based attacks. Pick a cyber news article about a large/reputable corporation.
Write 2 page, 12-size, and Times New Roman font paper, providing details about:
1) Briefly summarize the incident and illustrate the countermeasures, if any.
2) Find the company’s information security policy. Assess it against the Appendix C “Sample Policies” (pp. 306-318) in the textbook and discuss the potential issues you may find (e.g., separation of duties, risk analysis and management, compliance enforcement, etc.)
3) Discuss how the potential issues you find in 2) may lead to the incident. Considering what you have learned from Chapter 4, how would you improve the company’s information security policy?
4) Find the company’s Business Continuity Planning and Disaster Recovery Planning. Examine these policies to see if this cyberattack is covered. Discuss your findings in your writing.
5) Considering what you have learned in Chapter 6, what would you do to improve the company’s BCP & DRP if the cyberattack was not covered by its existing policies? Discuss it in your writing.
