Wk 4 – Comparing a Security Strategic Plan to a Security Policy and Aligning to Security Controls

2 Part Assignment 

Assignment Content

  1. The information security strategic plan and security policies are strongly interrelated within an organization’s information security program. The security plan and security policies will drive the foundation and selection of security controls to be implemented within the organization.

    Part 1
    Write a 1- to 2-page summary of the comparison chart of strategic plans and security policies you completed in this week’s Learning Team assignment.

    Part 2
    Review the control families described in this week’s reading, NIST SP 800-53a Revision 4, Assessing Security and Privacy Controls for Federal Information Systems and Organizations.

    Review the controls from this week’s reading, CIS Controls V7.1.

    Develop a 2- to 3-page matrix using Aligning Security Controls to NIST Security Controls Matrix Template that accurately maps CIS controls to NIST security control families. Note that some CIS controls may map to multiple NIST control families.

    Cite all sources using APA guidelines.

    Submit your assignment.

discrete structure

  

Discrete structures are the foundation for formulation of problems and algorithms. In the following paper, you will experience the use of discrete math for a thinning algorithm and its necessary and sufficient conditions for characterizing points. 

Paper “A parallel thinning algorithm for medial surfaces” G. Bertrand, Pattern Recognition Letters, 16 (1995) 979-986. This paper is attached. 

The overall idea of the algorithm is highlighted in blue, although the question to be answered is related to Proposition 2 (highlighted in yellow). Simple point is an important concept used for the algorithm. You are expected to answer the following question regarding a simple point mentioned in Proposition 2. 

Question 1. What is the definition of that is mentioned in Proposition 2? Briefly explain the meaning of it. Define each symbol used in your definition. 

Question 2. What is the definition of ? Briefly explain the meaning of it. 

Question 3. Proposition 2 say that x is n-simple if and only if   and . Give at least one example of x and X such that x is 6-simple. Briefly explain. 

Security Policy Plan

 

This is a two-part deliverable using MS Word and MS Project, or their open source equivalents. This assignment focuses on information as an asset and logical security techniques for a hypothetical law firm. The goal of this deliverable is to secure an information security policy, suggesting the fundamental guidelines should an untoward event occur. It can be seen that information assets security management can be reduced down to three basic principles: integrity, confidentiality, and availability. Structure a policy around and within computers and associated equipment, as well as the people using it. Note: You may create or make all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of this assignment.

Submission Requirements

 

Write a 3–5 page paper in which you:

  • Create a cybersecurity policy describing the principle, the objective, and policy statement for the law firm’s company network.
  • Describe the roles and responsibilities by groups (e.g., position director of network security, the network security manager, network security engineers, IT area), defining roles and responsibilities.
  • Suggest the cybersecurity policy statement, an explanation of the policy statement, and the reasons why the policy statement may be controversial.
  • Determine the security testing methodology you would use to facilitate the assessment of technical controls.
Section 2

Complete the following:

  • Use Microsoft Project, or an open source alternative such as OpenProj, to create a security project plan for the law firm. The project plan should include:
    • Tasks, subtasks, resources, and predecessors.
    • An outline of the planning, analysis, design, and implementation phases.
    • The use of cybersecurity in the information systems development life cycle.

Most of us are familiar with SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, etc. Discuss BPaaS. Consider how business processes as services can increase the threat surface.

 Write in essay format, not in bulleted, numbered, or another list format.  Cite your sources. Do not copy.

It is important that you use your own words, that you cite your sources, that you comply with the instructions regarding the length of your post, and that you reply to two classmates in a substantive way (not ‘nice post’ or the like).  Your goal is to help your colleagues write better. Do not use spinbot or other word replacement software. It usually results in nonsense and is not a good way to learn anything. Please do not use attachments unless requested.
