Simple study case Managing Information Security
Unformatted Attachment Preview
Many organizations marginalize the management of the security of their infrastructure in hopes
that they will not be the target of cyberattacks. However, cyberattacks happen frequently and
tend to become more sophisticated over time. In reality, every organization is a likely target of
malicious actors. These attacks result in a range of impacts on an organization and its core
business and could significantly interrupt operations.
To be proactive, organizations need to have structures, processes, and plans in place to counter
and respond to potential attacks and to deal with the consequences of successful attacks. A
suitable security management plan and well-defined security goals that support the overall goals
of the organization can ensure a reasonable level of business continuity, even in the case of
security incidents.
In any organization, the individuals on the IT staff must work together to support the security
goals of the organization. These individuals play significant roles in detecting and preventing
security incidents before they occur. In the case of successful attacks, security management
professionals are tasked with acting quickly to mitigate the attack’s effects.
In this assessment, you will refer to the attached “Case Study,” which contains details regarding
a security incident at a small non-governmental organization (NGO). In part I of this task, you
will analyze the security incident and provide specific examples and details from the case study
to support your risk assessment. In part II, you will create a plan to effectively address the
aftermath of the incident and manage the NGO’s ongoing security risks.
