Software Security Concerns

 

Identify a top concern with software security from the readings in this week or your own research and address the following:

• What type of risk does this entail?
• What are the likely consequences?
• Can we identify countermeasures to this risk?
• Are we dealing with a serious flaw in the software itself, an implementation issue, or simply a personal issue, such as writing down passwords?
• How can management address this concern?
  • Can management take any precautions to guard against this risk or threat?
• How can personnel cope with this threat if they are targeted (for example, through an e-mail containing a virus or through a malicious website)?
• How can organizations deal with software security to implement sound security solutions—whether in the development, implementation, or end-user stages of software usage?

Make sure to cite scholarly resources to support your assertions.
