Assignment 2: Discussion: Analysis and Research of Data Security Risks

Read the synopsis of the scenario you viewed at the beginning of this module:

There is a breach in security and some data has become suspect. All systems need to be evaluated and made secure.

In this assignment, you will learn how to assess and prevent or reduce data security risks. You will compare information and research results to complete the task the CIO has set. Use the framework of the following points to direct your research:

• What might be considered a “security breach” within the organization?
• How might the security breach be investigated?
• What security measures would appear to serve the newly combined company best and what key business requirements could be addressed?
• What decisions or recommendations can we offer to CIO Martin Simpson by our deadline? What, if any, will we not be able to provide and why?
