project 3

Tasks/Content: For your final step, you will need to synthesize the previous steps and focus on improving authentication & authorization mechanisms in your enterprise/organization. It is the responsibility of diligent cyber experts, such as yourself, to provide reports such as these to enable teams the ability for quick reference of your analysis and research. You know, after and during risk assessment, that the most important thing you want to focus on is who has access to what resources and whether various users and administrators continue to need that type of access since the company and the roles in your company are fast changing.

You will prepare a technical report that summarizes your findings from the STIG analysis and major takeaways and lessons learned from your discussions, readings and research on Access Control and Authentication.  Discuss how STIGS can be used as checklists to help secure system components such as databases and operating systems. Even though we only reviewed in detail the High severity findings, for a couple of the security-related areas, discuss implications of performing STIGS that incorporate all findings for a specific system component and challenges with implementation across all system components. Discuss gaps found in your risk analysis and specifically how those gaps can be filled.

The report should include a title page, table of contents, list of tables and figures (as applicable), content organized into sections, and a list of references.
