Vulnerability Assessment

Question 1

Conduct a web search on organizations that were affected by Hurricane Katrina. Please select one business and cover the following:

(a) Provide a background of the organization.

(b) How was the organization impacted? What losses did it suffer?

(c) Describe the disaster recovery and business continuity that the business had in place?

(d) What were the lessons learned?

Question 2

“Testing Access Control”

• Discuss the purpose of the security development life cycle and how it is used for testing security systems. Using the Internet, find two to three tools that could be used to conduct a vulnerability assessment. Please include the web URL. Are paid tools more effective than open-source tools? How does someone determine the best tool to use for an assessment? Justify your answers.
