CMGT 433 Wk 2 – Prioritizing Threats Executive Summary

Based on your completed security overview presentation from last week, the executives of the company have ‘approved for action,’ the additional work that you recommended. The executive team would like more detailed information about the type of threats and challenges that should be addressed for your company. They want to know which threats should be prioritized and the impact they have on the organization. They would like you to:

• Prioritize categories of cybersecurity threats that might directly affect your organization.
• Recommend a cybersecurity mitigation effort to address the threat with the organization.
• Identify the additional challenges that mobile and cloud computing threat mitigation will need to be addressed.

As noted last week, use your own organization or an organization that you are familiar with for this and the other assignments during this course. Think about how the industry and the size of the organization is going to affect your responses.

Write a 2- to 3-page executive summary to share with the executive staff about your recommendations, challenges, and explanations. Include the following in your summary:

• A chart or list detailing 8 threats and their potential impact on your company
• Your top 5 prioritized threat mitigations with a rationale for the prioritization, again based on your company’s risk profile
• At least two references supporting your top 5 recommendations

Note: The research and recommendations from this executive summary will also be used in the Week 3 assignment.

Submit your assignment as a Microsoft Word document following the APA format.
