things that stand out as potential risks. First, the user security awareness is very low.

Second, the technology implementations are grossly out of date. Finally, the network

architecture is not configured to industry standard specifications. This paper will address

some of these concerns.

process with refresher training held at regular intervals. The recommendation would be to start

with every six months until employees have a firm grasp of information security concepts and

Wilbur’s Widgets is currently running out of date software, hardware, and operating

systems. There is also no patch management happening for either the software or the operating
