The ACME corporation is a company that is looking toward the future and transitioning
into a new market and in that future and new market they hope to be able to pick up federal
government contracts over the next seven years. To reach this future however, some changes
need to be applied at a fundamental level of the company and the company must undergo an
infrastructure change in order to grow external confidence in its security posture. In order to do
that we will be conducting a threat assessment based on the current inventory of hardware and
based on the company’s current policies and technology assets. These assessments will help the
company’s leadership to better plan for a budget that will help them to expand their technology
to help them meet the new requirements of the federal government.
Threat Assessment
For this threat assessment, we are going to implement a systems thinking approach to the
security protocols that are already in place to help us determine what vulnerabilities may already
be in place that need to be worked on for the company to expand its security confidence to the
outside world. We will take a look at the three major risk domains to security; people, process
and technology and assess each one for a couple of vulnerabilities that currently exist. First we
are going to take a look at the People risk domain and assess the vulnerabilities that currently
exist here and the first major vulnerability that we can see when we take a look at the current
Infrastructure Diagram layout is that both of the IT closets have no type of security on them
meaning that they are not locked at all and anyone who walks into the building can access the
closets and could potentially tamper with the technology inside them. The second vulnerability
that we can see when we take a look at the people risk domain based on the current Infrastructure
Diagram and Hardware Inventory is that anyone can access the Public Records workstations and
