While we may not have had much time together discussing security, this probably reminded you of events in your life. Think about a time when you witnessed or were part of a “breach” in security. This might be a specific attack against just you, as part of a larger breach, such as your identity being stolen during a newsworthy event, or an arbitrary event from the news you choose to analyze. Discuss the event, and then discuss which of the CIA (confidentiality, integrity, and availability) principles were violated and specifically how they were violated.  

For the response to suggest an improvement or fix that might have prevented this principle violation.  

Parameters 

• Initial responses 
  • Posts should be 250 to 300 words in length
  • Must include at least one source outside of your textbook, and it should be included in the reference list at the end of the post
  • All sources should be used in the content of the post using APA format
• Peer responses 
  • Responses should be 100 to 150 words or more
  • Responses must be substantive and continue learning (avoid a simple “good,” “bad,” or “I agree”)
  • Attempt to find a source to support your follow-up responses 
  • For the response to suggest an improvement or fix that might have prevented this principle violation.

   Your assignment should meet the following requirements:

   • Be 6-8 pages long, not including the cover page and reference page.
   • Conform to APA Style.
   • Support your answers with at least one current scholarly journal article (not more than five years old). The Rasmussen Library is a great place to find resources.
   • Be clearly and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing. If you need assistance with your writing style and APA format, start with the Writing and APA guides at the Rasmussen Library.

• Review  contributions to threats and  vulnerabilities on a home network and determine if they have gaps in  their understanding.
• Provide feedback on a classmate’s home  network security measures they are not currently using. Do you have any  other suggestions or recommendations for them?

 What threats do you need to be concerned about on your home network?

There  are a lot of threats for a home network. One major threat for home  networks is computer viruses. These are very common issues that a lot of  people deal with. viruses are very easy to get one wrong click and you  have one. viruses are very dangerous for everyone. viruses can expose  information on the devices they are on and send it to scammers. They  could also slow the device down.

What are the vulnerabilities of each of your devices on your home network?

Firewalls  are the first line of defense for the devices. If there are issues with  the firewalls the devices will be a lot easier to hack and change these  firewalls can be a point of vulnerability if they have issues. Using a  open WIFI network is also a point of vulnerability for devices. Other  people on these open network can get into the devices onto the network.

What techniques can you use to protect your devices on your home  network? (Make sure to discuss how you will protect your network traffic  on your wireless network.)

Make sure you use a firewall on the  router. You should also limit access to the network. If you let just  anybody on the network it raises the risk of getting hacked so you  should only give access to those you trust.

Discuss some home network security measures you are not currently using but may consider using
There  is one major security measure that I do not do yet but will definitely  start soon. I will start using a VPN. VPN’s encrypt your network making  it difficult to pin down the device and track.

2. Explain security policies and how they factor into risk management.
3. Describe at least two responsibilities for both IT and non-IT leaders in information risk management.
4. Describe how a risk management plan can be tailored to produce information and system-specific plans.
5. Use at least two quality resources in this assignment. Note:  Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources. The  Strayer University Library is a good source of resources..

The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:

• Assess how risk is addressed through system security policies, system-specific plans, and contingency plans

 Create a presentation (6-8 PowerPoint slides) describing how to use the SAMM v2  Toolkit to perform assessments, create a scorecard and roadmap. This presentation is to show senior leadership that how this model is applied to the  organization. The requirements for your presentation are: • Create a presentation to show senior leadership that how this model is applied to the  organization. I. Introduce and describe very briefly (for an executive briefing) i. How assessment worksheet questions and scoring are used. ii. How to use the SAMM V2 Toolkit to create these two (2) artifacts: I. Scorecard. II. Roadmaps II. Define each of the following seven (7) terms (provide a definition for , e.g. answer the  question “What is ___?”) and describe how they are used as the components in a  Maturity Level in your presentation: i. Objective, Activities, Results, Success Metrics, Costs, Personnel and Related  Levels • Requirements of the final product (e.g. page count, references, etc.): I. Presentation of 6 to 8 slides. II. At least 2 (and preferably more) APA V7 references and in-text V7 APA citations.- • Points: 100 • Unit objective/s assessed: I. Create SAMM scorecards and roadmaps II. Apply the SAMM maturity models
