IT 200 Wk 5 – Data Breaches

The head of the IT security department expressed her concerns about a series of data breaches that occurred in the company and mentioned that many employees ignored their system security warnings. You have been asked to provide a summary of information to the entire team about data breaches and suggest proactive and preventive measures for warding off viruses. Your presentation will be sent out to all company employees, so the information must be clear, concise, and informative.

 

To prepare your presentation, use your personal computer to perform the following tasks:

  • Identify whether you have anti-virus software running on your machine and from which company.

  • Identify if a firewall is enabled on your machine and if you need Windows®firewall running in addition, if that anti-virus software is installed on your machine.

 

Include the following in your summary:

  • The definition of a data breach

  • Ways to determine if your system was infected with a virus

  • At least three preventive measures against data breaches, both physical or digital

  • Instructions on locating antivirus and firewall software (what are the steps to find which antivirus and firewall are installed or on your computer?) This is not about saying how to do a Google search to find names of antivirus or firewall software, this is about what steps to take to show where to look in your computer to see what software you have installed)

  • Instructions on what to do if a virus has infected your computer (don’t just say “contact IT department”, please list the typical steps a person should take on their own computer when a virus is detected).

 

Choose one of the following options for your summary:

  • A 2- to 3-minute podcast using the software of your choice, such as Sound Recorder or Audacity, to create your audio file and save it as an MP3 or WAV

  • A 2- to 3-minute video delivered as an MP4 or MOV file

  • An infographic or visual diagram delivered as a Microsoft®PowerPoint®, PNG, or PDF; you may use any Microsoft® Office product or free sites, such as Piktochart, Easel.ly, or Canva, to create an infographic.

  • Another deliverable approved by your faculty member
