UPDATED 24/11/2014: Minor Assessment: Threat Profiling
Due Week 4, Worth 10%
Security professionals need to ensure that they keep up to date with the latest threats and security issues. This allows them to update their risk profiles, such as identifying if their systems are vulnerable. In order to determine what the risk to an organisation is, you need to know what the problems could be. In this assignment, your task is to identify a recently announced security vulnerability and write a profile of the threat. The profile should contain the name of the threat, the systems it attacks, how it performs its attack and the mitigation strategies. The risk to an organisation using vulnerable systems should also be determined. Your report should be about 800 words and should contain relevant tables, calculations, a ranked list of threats (in terms of impact) and conclusions. See the scoring sheet for this assignment, which is on the next page, and ensure that your report fulfils the criteria listed.
