Assignment 3: Threat, Vulnerability, and Exploits Assessment Practices

There are multiple ways to bring threats and vulnerabilities to light. Common practices and lessons learned can help us explore for known or common threats, but how does an organization with a unique or highly unusual setup discover its vulnerabilities? Many organizations turn to ethical hackers.
Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:

  1. Describe common tools and techniques for identifying and analyzing threats and vulnerabilities.
  2. Critique the practice of offering rewards for discovering vulnerabilities.
  3. Explain the risks of challenging individuals to exploit vulnerabilities in your systems.
  4. Give your opinion on the formation of ethical hackers.
  5. Use at least two (2) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

  • Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
  • Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

  • Describe techniques for identifying relevant threats, vulnerabilities, and exploits.
  • Use technology and information resources to research issues in IT risk management.
  • Write clearly and concisely about topics related to IT risk management using proper writing mechanics and technical style conventions.

Introduction
A threat is something that is likely to cause damage to our systems and network and thus
at this particular moment where we are living in the age of technology, it is important that we
ensure that our systems and network are secured at all times in order to avoid threats and
vulnerabilities that can easily lead to losses that are not easy to recover from (Coffey et al.,
2018). On the other hand, tools and techniques for identifying and analyzing threats and
vulnerabilities are just one of the ways that we can use to know the number of vulnerabilities in
our systems. With that being said of the tools and techniques for identifying and analyzing
threats and vulnerabilities include the following:
Tools and Techniques for Identifying and Analyzing Threats and Vulnerabilities
Vulnerability Scanner
This is a very unique tool that has the capability of checking and analyzing the potential
of threats and vulnerabilities in a computer system, applications, and network (Coffey et al.,
2018). The tool will check an application for any vulnerability that might be found in it and
thereafter it will analyze the potential harm that the vulnerability can cause to the systems and
the assets of an organization. This particular tool is crucial because it helps an organization to
identify applications that are reliable and that can be installed in the network and the systems of
the company. This means that any other application that might lead or cause harm to the systems
and the network of the organization will be avoided and thus this will help to minimize the
overall...
