Week 3 – Assignment 1

Eliminating Threats with a Layered Security Approach

Overview

There are many key concepts of information assurance and security, but one important fact to note is that eventually, over time, a single security control will eventually fail. This is what makes layered security defenses a very important part of this concept, so that when a single control does indeed fail, there are other controls in place that will together help mitigate the risk of the failed control.

In this assignment you will complete the Eliminating Threats With a Layered Security Approach lab and write policies for Password Management and Logging Standards.
