Submitting a file upload
File Types pptx and mp4
INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: For this assignment, you will submit two files. One is the PowerPoint presentation .pptx file. The
other is a video of your presentation. See below for further information.
The Bid Response Proposal is presented in Week 6 but is due in Week 7. It would be advantageous to
begin working on this assignment before Week 7.
A company has published a Request For Proposal (RFP) to address its many information security
issues. You own a firm that specializes in providing information security solutions for small and
mediumsized companies.
Create a Security Bid Proposal presentation that provides a cost-effective security solution for their
problems. Your objective is to win the bid over your competition.
The company has 75 employees and is inundated with security issues. Employees use laptops and
smartphones that have remote access to office systems. Your Security Bid Proposal must provide
readyto-implement security solutions.
Here are 12 common security issues for many small businesses for you to address:
1. Equipment is disappearing (See Footnote A)
2. No building or computer room security (See Footnote A)
3. No Acceptable User Policy (AUP) (See Footnote B)
4. No malware protection and experiencing attacks daily (See Footnote A)
5. No intrusion detection and experiencing intrusions daily (See Footnote A)
6. Passwords compromised (See Footnote C)
7. There is an Internet connection but no protection and content filtering (See Footnote A)
8. Sensitive information is being copied from systems (See Footnote B)
9. No automated operating system and application patching (See Footnote A)
10. Legacy software and systems (See Footnote C)
11. No data backup (See Footnote A)
12. If a disaster should happen to the building, there are no plans to recover (See Footnote C)
FOOTNOTES:
1. Find real commercial product or services from the internet to solve EACH issue.
1. Include their cost in the final price estimate.
2. Provide a clickable URL to the actual product on the solution slide and the references slide. Do
not just point to the company home page. If I need to hunt to find the product, it does not count.
2. State the specific new policies, rules, guidelines or procedures should be instituted to solve the issue
3. To solve these issues, you can use approach (A) or (B) or both
Format: A voice-annotated PowerPoint presentation, 15-20 slides

your webcam, talking about each slide.
Do NOT embed separate audio clips on each slide.
Export as a mp4 file.
It should be 6-8 minutes long. You will lose points for being too short or too long.
