Vulnerability Memo

 Your task this week is to check the internet and the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) List for networked IoT or IoMT devices with publicly known problems identified in the past six months.  

Select two devices related that might be relevant to the organization setting and review what is known about the vulnerabilities of these devices.

For each device, include background information about the device, a description of the vulnerability, possible solutions that have been identified to fix the vulnerability, and your recommendation on whether the organization should avoid the product.

Use this Memo Template to record your work.

How Will My Work Be Evaluated?

In writing a clear and concise memo to inform management about potential vulnerabilities, you are demonstrating communication skills, technical expertise, and responsiveness to stakeholder needs and concerns.

The following evaluation criteria aligned to the competencies will be used to grade your assignment:

  • 1.2.1: Identify the target audience, the context, and the goal of the communication.
  • 1.3.4: Balance original content with supporting sources.
  • 1.4.1: Produce grammatically correct material in standard academic English that supports the communication.
  • 2.1.1: Identify the issue or problem under consideration.
  • 10.1.1: Identify the problem to be solved.
  • 10.1.3: Define the specifications of required technologies.
  • 12.1.1: Determine business needs that require policies, processes, and procedures.
  • 12.3.1: Select controls.
  • 12.3.2: Describe the implementation of controls.

Returns True after converting the image to monochrome.

All plug-in functions must return True or False. This function returns True

because it modifies the image. It converts the image to either greyscale or

sepia tone, depending on the parameter sepia.

If sepia is False, then this function uses greyscale. For each pixel, it computes

the overall brightness, defined as

0.3 * red + 0.6 * green + 0.1 * blue.

It then sets all three color components of the pixel to that value. The alpha value

should remain untouched.

If sepia is True, it makes the same computations as before but sets green to

0.6 * brightness and blue to 0.4 * brightness.

Parameter image: The image buffer

Precondition: image is a 2d table of RGB objects

Parameter sepia: Whether to use sepia tone instead of greyscale

Precondition: sepia is a bool

“””

# We recommend enforcing the precondition for sepia

# Change this to return True when the function is implemented

height = len(image)

width = len(image[0])

for row in range(height):

for col in range(width):

pixel = image[row][col]

pixel.red = int(0 * 0.3)

pixel.green = int(1*0.6)

pixel.red = int(2*0.1)

pixel.red+pixel.green+pixel.blue

CYB

  

Consider this scenario: A cyber-attack occurred in a healthcare organization, resulting in significant data loss. You have been called as an information security management consultant to recommend an incident response plan for this incident and will need to present it to the executive board of the healthcare organization.

Develop a 10- to 12-slide multimedia-rich presentation of your recommended incident response plan to mitigate or reduce impact to the organization, and do the following:

  • Define the incident response plan goal       and scope for this cyber-attack.
  • Analyze the impact and severity of the       cyber-attack by applying a business impact analysis (BIA) to the       organization, including mission performance, regulatory requirements, and       compliance.
  • Identify the communication       requirements, including criteria for escalation and organization       reporting and regulatory requirements.
  • Explain the process for responding to       this incident.
  • Describe the relationship with other       organization processes and methods, such as BCP/DR. You may base this off       your Wk 5 Team assignment.
  • Recommend prioritization, resource       requirements, and any opportunity created by the event.

Use appropriate images and charts where applicable.

Include a slide with APA-formatted references. Note: Cite your Team assignment if you use it as a reference.

Block Chain – Journal

Journal Instructions

In chapter 4, the author describes four types of costs that blockchain technology can reduce. Which of the four cost types, if reduced through blockchain technology, would most impact the organization for which you currently work?  What would be the most visible impact on your job role? How could you minimize any negative impact?
