Description

When it comes to IT security, you must do more than follow the examples of other companies, regardless of how successful they are. No two organizations will encounter exactly the same problems. The best approach to providing the best level of security is to conduct a risk assessment of your organization, identify what your assets are, what your threats are, and what the probability of the threats occurring may be. This analysis will allow you to create the network defense plan that is uniquely tailored to your organization and situation.

For this assignment, you will write the Risk Assessment section of 5–6 pages, and add it to the Network Security Plan document. Appropriate research should be conducted to support the development of your document, and assumptions may be made when necessary.

Assignment Details:
