You are an Information Security consultant for a small doctor’s office consisting of three doctors and two nurses. The office is physically located among several other professional office spaces. The doctors have decided they would like to replace the current method of using paper based medical records with automated medical records. The doctors would like to use mobile devices over a wireless network to move from one examining room to the next to document patient visits. Given the extremely sensitive information captured by the mobile devices and the wireless network, the doctors require you to provide a detailed plan identifying inherent risks associated with this network environment and establish mobile device and wireless security methods that will mitigate the risks. Research findings will be submitted with a minimum of three (3) scholarly level APA references.

Write a two to three (2-3) page paper in which you:

1. Identify risks inherent in the use of wireless and mobile technologies.

The CIO has seen reports of malicious activity being on the rise and has become extremely concerned with the protection of the intellectual property and highly sensitive data maintained by your organization.

As one of your first tasks with the organization, the CIO requested you identify and draft a report identifying potential malicious attacks, threats, and vulnerabilities specific to your organization. Further, the CIO would like you to briefly explain each item and the potential impact it could have on the organization.

Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:

1. Analyze and assess any potential malicious attacks and threats that may be carried out against the network.

You are the Information Security Officer at a small software company. The organization currently utilizes a Microsoft Server 2008 Active Directory domain administered by a limited number of over-tasked network administrators. The remainder of the organization comprises mostly software developers and a relatively small number of administrative personnel. The organization has decided that it would be in its best interest to use a public key infrastructure (PKI) to provide a framework that fosters confidentiality, integrity, authentication, and nonrepudiation. Email clients, virtual private network products, Web server components, and domain controllers would utilize digital certificates issued by the certificate authority (CA). Additionally, digital certificates would be used to sign software developed by the company to demonstrate software authenticity to the customer.

Write a two to three (2-3) page paper in which you:

1. Identify and analyze the fundamentals of PKI.

In Assignment 1: Identifying Potential Malicious Attacks, Threats, and Vulnerabilities, you were recently hired as an Information Security Engineer for a videogame development company. After viewing a growing number of reports detailing malicious activity, the CIO requested you identify and draft a report identifying potential malicious attacks, threats, and vulnerabilities specific to your organization. He asked you to include a brief explanation of each item and the potential impact it could have on the organization.

After review of your report, the CIO requests that you develop a follow-up plan developing a strategy for dealing with all risks (i.e., risk mitigation, risk assignment, risk acceptance, or risk avoidance) identified in Assignment 1. Further, your plan should identify controls (i.e., administrative, preventative, detective, and corrective) that will be used to mitigate each risk previously identified.

Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:

1. For each malicious attack and threat identified in Assignment 1, choose a strategy for dealing with the risk (i.e., risk mitigation, risk assignment, risk acceptance, or risk avoidance).
2. For each malicious attack and threat identified in Assignment 1, develop controls (i.e., administrative, preventative, detective, and corrective) that will be used to mitigate each risk.

Use the Internet or Strayer databases to research one (1) publicly traded company that committed fraud within the last five (5) years and the fundamental drivers of the fraud.

1. Briefly describe the selected publicly traded company that committed fraud, and analyze the fundamental drivers of the fraud.
2. Outline an audit plan that could have prevented or detected the fraudulent activity in its earliest stages. Provide a rationale for your response.

The company has one remote warehouse and no off-site disaster recovery services or servers. The network design remains a non-redundant, flat topology.

Your assignment must consider the three-layer hierarchical model. You are free to make supported assumptions of the applications and services that this organization uses.

Write a one (1) page paper in which you:

1. Depict a network topology graphical model of the initial environment of 10 employees using Visio or its open source alternative software. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length.
