Excerpt from Case Study:

A case study that provides an overview of Information Technology and will document a risk and vulnerability assessment

...... All organizations that are connected to the Internet are potentially vulnerable to electronic attacks. These attacks may be launched from any other computer in the world, that is connected to the Internet. This means that the perimeter defense model for information security is no longer adequate (Culnan, Foxman & Ray 52). JCS should still implement enterprise-level security solutions, including antivirus software and firewalls, to protect their assets; however, information security is also a socio-technological, and as such, the end users are the weakest links (Emm)

1 Purpose:

The purpose of this case study is to demonstrate how JCS is lacking in IT risk analysis, and as such is not aware of potential threats their organization may encounter. In order to rectify this, this paper discusses the concept of developing security awareness, including a definition of awareness and how to design awareness into systems. Possible implementation strategies JCS can utilize to improve their security, using the National Institute Standards and Technology (NIST) 800-53 recommended security controls as a reference, will be presented, as well as a discussion of the recommended implementation and an alternative analysis. Included in the approach, ideas of risks and vulnerabilities will be introduced based on where
