Week Discussion Due 5/19


The three major types of malicious activities that organizations and information systems face include:

  1. Hostile or malicious insider activity.
  2. Theft of private, proprietary, or sensitive data, by insiders or external attackers.
  3. Large scale DoS (denial-of-service) attacks.

 

Based on your research:

  • Describe a present-day example of your selected type of malicious activity and its impact on the organization.
  • Specify the countermeasures the organization took to address the malicious activity.
  • Recommend at least one additional preventative countermeasure and at least one countermeasure organizations could take to address this type of activity once it has occurred.
