Risk Assessment Report

Description

PLEASE READ ATTACHMENT FILE..!!!

The objective of this assignment is to develop a Risk Assessment Report for a company, government agency, or other organization (the “subject organization”). The analysis will be conducted using only publicly available information (e.g., information obtainable on the Internet, company reports, news reports, journal articles, etc.) and based on judicious, believable extrapolation of that information. Your risk analysis should consider subject organization information assets (computing and networking infrastructure), their vulnerabilities and legitimate, known threats that can exploit those

vulnerabilities. Your assignment is then to derive the risk profile for the subject organization. Your report should also contain recommendations to mitigate the risks.

There is a wealth of business-oriented and technical information that can be used to infer likely vulnerabilities and assets for an organization. It is recommended that students select their organizations based at least in part on ease of information gathering, from a public record perspective.

Reports should be 12 pages (exclusive of cover, title page, table of contents, endnotes and bibliography), double-spaced, and should follow a structure generally corresponding to the risk assessment process described in NIST Special Publication 800-30. The report should be prepared using the APA Style. All sources of information should be indicated via in-line citations and a list of references.
