Determine your client’s needs and potential threats and attacks associated with their application and software security requirements. Consider the following regarding how companies protect against external threats based on the scenario information:

· What is the value of secure communications to the company?

· Are there any international transactions that the company produces?

· Are there governmental restrictions about secure communications to consider?

· What external threats might be present now and in the immediate future?

· What are the “modernization” requirements that must be considered, such as the role of open source libraries and evolving web application technologies?
