DISCUSSION ASSIGNMENT

WEEK2 DISCUSSION

Using the readings presented in Week 2 and additional research on your own, prepare a list of 3 to 5 recommendations for how block chain technologies can be used to reduce risk in financial transactions. Your analysis should include the use of blockchains to uncover (detect) money laundering and other crime related financial transactions similar to those which were discovered at Island Banking Services. Remember to use the 4 risk treatment strategies as discussed in CCISO Domain 1 Section 6. (four options when it comes to risk treatment: 1. Risk Modification 2. Risk Retention 3. Risk Avoidance 4. Risk Sharing)

Format your recommendations as a briefing paper that includes an introduction, your analysis of the benefits of blockchain technologies in reducing risk, your recommendations (with explanations), and a closing or summary paragraph. You should have at least 5 strong paragraphs in your briefing paper. Include citations and references (3 or more) to support your written work.
