Vulnerability assessment Characterization of current and emerging vulnerabilities and threats. As an airplane company, Boeing's current and emerging vulnerabilities and threats are categorized as technology, people, and policy. Technology Boeing uses technology to enhance corporate communication, manage data and program its airplanes. Technology apparatus like web and email servers within computers use the internet to facilitate the transmission of messages. Also, web servers are compatible with cloud computing to store terabytes of confidential information. Technology apparatus are vulnerable to cybersecurity issues due to poor password maintenance, viruses, and malware attacks. Thus, Boeing should employ sophisticated and adequate security measures to prevent potential cyberattacks. People Boeing Company has numerous employees working in various sectors who can cause insider threats, leading to cybersecurity issues. For instance, employees in charge of Information Technology can comprise Boeing's databases, causing data breaches. Besides, passwords can leak to other employees, contributing to unauthorized access and hacking. Employees can mastermind insider threats like data theft and disclose information to rival companies. Insider threats interfere with organizational performance as it poses a significant risk to operations. Policy Security policies help prevent the occurrence of cybersecurity issues by guiding employees on data management and the protection of databases. Organizations should have policies that address data security. Failure of which, the company can experience cybersecurity issues like hacking and insider theft. Boeing should incorporate cybersecurity standards and measures within its policies to bolster cybersecurity. Identification of Attack Vectors Boeing is prone to the following attack vectors: insider threats, email phishing, ransomware, weak login credentials, and poor encryption and system configuration. Attackers can exploit operating systems and software through ransomware, insider threats, poor encryption, and system configuration. However, telecommunications can be exploited through email phishing. Finally, the hardware and human factors can be exploited through weak login credentials and insider threats. Thus, Boeing should educate employees on security measures like having stronger login credentials, encryption, and system configuration. Additionally, Boeing should adopt access control, authorization, and authentication systems to prevent insider threats and other potential cybersecurity issues like data theft. Boeing should deploy these measures at once to curb data security problems. Boeing can also deploy security measures like Intrusion detection system (IDS), intrusion prevention system (IPS), and network segmentation to combat cybersecurity issues. Information system auditing through analysis, evaluating and testing is also crucial to safeguard confidential data and files. Finally, Boeing can adopt risk management standards like COBIT, OCTAVE, FAIR, RMF AND TARA to enhance data protection Impact of Vulnerability on Boeing People (Employees) – High Technology – High Policy - Medium
