Assignment 4

High-level Overview Presentation

Look back at Assignments 1 through 3 and reflect on the work that you and your IT Security team did for LOTR. In these first three assignments, upper management and the Board of Directors for LOTR asked you to review and repair various access control issues. They have now asked that you create a presentation that will review all the changes that you have implemented to improve access control security. For this final presentation, they have asked for a high-level overview of the procedures you implemented to improve Network Access Control and the newly mapped access controls. They also want you to create a security checklist that can be used to conduct annual access control audits. Finally, they have asked you to make recommendations for three websites that include security RSS feeds to keep the company abreast of possible future security issues/exploits. 

To complete Assignment 4, you have to create a PowerPoint presentation.

a. Summarize the access controls implemented at LOTR. Please provide a brief rationale for each of the recommended and implemented controls.

b. Create a security checklist that can be used to conduct annual access control audits.

c. Recommend three security websites with the ability to set up a corporate RSS feed. Explain why you selected these three sites. (Note: Please use three quality resources for this last step. Wikipedia and similar websites do not qualify as quality resources.) 

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

· For PowerPoint submissions: Your PowerPoint presentation must be submitted as a functional, valid .PPT file.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

· Examine methods that mitigate risk to an IT infrastructure with confidentiality, integrity, availability, and access controls.
