Risk Analysis of the Network

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.

Risk Assessment Section Conduct an inventory of devices within the chosen organization’s network using appropriate tools. Provide a summary of the number of desktops, laptops, network printers, and servers. Identify key assets. Assets also include records and sensitive information that requires special protection. Prioritize each asset or group of assets, and assign a value to each. Create a subsection that will identify and describe the risks within the environment. Do not forget natural disasters. Include the likelihood that the risk could occur. Provide a list of the tools and methodology that you used to conduct the risk assessment.

/in /by

Description

Module 3 – SLP MARKET STRUCTURE AND GAME THEORY For this assignment, you will be building upon your Module 2 SLP by continuing to examine other businesses in your chosen industry. Remember that the other businesses you wrote about in your Module 2 SLP will be your future competitors if you decide to open your own business. So it is important to get an idea of the competitive landscape of your chosen business. After reviewing the required background readings and doing some more research on your chosen industry, write a three-page paper discussing the following issues: 1. What market structure is there for this line of business in your home town? Is this a monopoly, oligopoly, monopolistic competition, or perfect competition? Justify your answer using both your own research on this type of business in your home town, and by referencing some of the required background readings on different types of market structures. 2. Now that you have examined market structure of your chosen industry in your home town, do some research on IBIS World on market structure in this industry nationwide. You can access IBIS World by going to the main TLC Portal and clicking on “Additional Library Resources”. A link to IBIS World will come up. This direct link might also work if you are already logged onto the Trident online library. What information could you find regarding how concentrated or how competitive this industry is? 3. Based on the information you found for Question 2, what market structure do you think best describes this industry nationwide? Is this a monopoly, oligopoly, monopolistic competition, or perfect competition? Explain your answer using both information from IBIS World and the concepts from the required background readings. SLP Assignment Expectations • Answer the assignment questions directly. • Stay focused on the precise assignment questions.

Articles published in established newspapers or business journals/magazines are preferred.
