Description
Security Report:
The weekly assignment for the course is a comprehensive assignment. You should begin by reviewing the scenario document. Each week, you will complete part of this assignment based on the content covered in the week. You will add new content to the report each week to build a comprehensive security solution for an organization.
You have been hired by this company to suggest ways of securing its technology assets. ABC, Inc. requires you to complete the project and provide detailed recommendations for improving their security in the next five weeks. You will be assigned specific tasks in each of the weeks of this course based on the content covered in the week.
As you complete this assignment, you must also realize the importance of describing the implementation of the solution that you propose and explaining how to verify the solution by providing activities to test the security (such as intentionally using an incorrect password to make sure the system rejects the login attempt).
In this week, review the scenario and analyze the security requirements of the organization. On the basis of your understanding, create a 3- to 4-page report in a Microsoft Word document that includes the following:
- A paragraph summarizing the problems faced by the organization.
- A list of top five recommendations for implementing better security in the organization and an explanation of how each of these will benefit the organization. Justify the importance in your ranking.
- Outcomes for your report, such as what implementing your solution will do for the organization; this should be a preliminary report that will evolve as the weeks progress.
In addition, respond to the following questions in your report:
- How does an attack like the one suffered by ABC, Inc. impact consumer confidence in its product? Why would the company wish to remain anonymous during this process?
- Which basic user policies would you put in place to make sure employees cannot access each other's information?

wide range of benefits to business organizations such as enhancing quality production of goods
and services, easy communication and many more (Schumaker, 2002). Security is a big problem
for organizations that make use of modern technologies. For example, the ABC Company is
faced by a number of different cybercrime problems. The problem in ABC Inc. is that its
proprietary technology, as well as customer’s information, were compromised in an attack. What
happened is that the systems that are used by the company were hacked by an unknown people.
This system that was hacked is very important as it carries the organization’s functional
information and vital strategic information as well. It has been very hard for the ABC Inc. to
know the source of the attack but they just suspect that may be, it is one of their internal greedy
or a disgruntled employee who has been revealing information to other people or involved in the
attack (Mack, 2018). In the past, there have also been several at...
