Critically evaluate security technologies and the problems and issues with information security and risks and the current strategies for management to mitigate them.

Traditional KPIs or metrics for evaluating business risks are inefficient for understanding cyber risks

Critically evaluate various security technologies.

Evaluate and discuss risk control and risk management measures.

Word count 1,200 Assessment task details provide a description of the task“Traditional Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)or metrics for evaluating business risks are inefficient for understanding cyber risks”.

In light of the above statement,critically evaluate security technologies and the problems and issues with information security and risks and the current strategies for management to mitigate them, and write a report on your findings. Support your arguments and discussion with relevant examples and references.

The report should be 1200 words and show evidence of research in the available, relevant literature and you should use the IEEE referencing system, supplying full details of all references used.

Guidance: The purpose of the assignment is for you to conduct an in-depth investigation into information security and risk measures.

Discuss the role security has in the software development life cycle and how the inclusion of security in these processes might change the overall SDLC.

Software development and security

Attached module,explored the topics of software development and security, as well as,two different software development life cycles.

Discuss the role security has in the software development life cycle and how the inclusion of security in these processes might change the overall SDLC. Give reasons for your choices.

Provide support for those choices using sources from your textbook or the Saudi Digital Library to support your viewpoint.

In preparing your response, include at least three source from professional or academic literature such as articles from peer-reviewed journals and relevant textbooks. For this course, Wikipedia is not considered an academic or professional reference. Also, proofread and spell check your responses. All sources should be formatted using APA guidelines.

Big data sources

Consider an organization’s use of big data sources. Feel free to draw conclusions and examples from your own company or one in which you are familiar.

How is big data being used?What recommendations would you make to the organization regarding other big data sources that should be used? In response to your peers, discuss an additional recommendation based on their responses.

Identify and prioritize opportunities for improvement within the context of a continuous and repeatable process.

Cybersecurity Strategy and Plan of Action

Building from those standards, guidelines, and practices, the Framework provides a common
taxonomy and mechanism for organizations to:

1) Describe their current cybersecurity posture 

2) Describe their target state for cybersecurity 

3) Identify and prioritize opportunities for improvement within the context of a continuous and repeatable process

4) Assess progress toward the target state

5) Communicate among internal and external stakeholders about cybersecurity risk.

Describe a process of how an employee that cannot log in can be provided access.

Cloud Security

Questions

For this question,consider a solution where each of the devices approved by Vertika get an authentication token K, put on the device by Vertika’s IT department. Possession of this authentication token is a factor in authenticating to the cloud as an employee the other part is a valid username and password.

Would you consider this set–up to be a cloud? Why (not)? half page

On a conceptual level,how would you authenticate an employee, using his/her username, password,and the
token on their device? With this approach, are you vulnerable to replay attacks, or people learning the value of K? Why (not)?

Can a disgruntled designer currently employed by Vertika enable a competitor to gain access to confidential files in particular,files that the disgruntled designer is authorised to access?

Describe a process of how an employee that cannot log in can be provided access.

Assessment Instructions

You must complete Assessment 1 before you can complete the other assessments in the course.If you have not yet done so, read the Integrated Action Learning Project description linked in the Resources under the RequiredResources heading.For this assessment, write a report for your selected organization’s integrated action learning project containing a solutions analysis, aneeds and risk analysis, and a legal and ethical analysis. Compile these three analyses into a report.

Solutions Analysis

This analysis addresses key questions related to your proposed solutions to your IT problem. The result should be a one- to two-pagesummary that answers the following questions:

What solutions do you propose?How do your solutions address the specific organizational problems that you have identified, and how do they address the keystakeholder concerns?

How are the solutions connected to global or domestic (or both) IT trends and solutions?

How does what you are proposing keep the organization in line with what is happening in the industry?

What model or architecture do you propose for your solution (or solutions)?

What technology or technologies do you recommend as part of the solution?

What are the specific IT principles that support your proposed solution?

What are key issues that the organization needs to consider from a legal,ethical,and policy standpoint?

What are risks associated with the solution (or solutions) proposed,and how might they be minimized?
