Identify a computer system you have recently had experience with and prepare and attach a PowerPoint presentation (8-10 slides) describing a potential computer security problem related to that system. The target audience is a manager who you are trying to convince to initiate a project to investigate the potential security issues.
Suggestions:
- Begin with a description of the organization and the computer system you have chosen.
- Where necessary, you may make assumptions about any specifics–please note these as such in your presentation notes.
- Draw from the assigned readings (and independent research) to identify what topics should be included.
- If you feel that slide information is not self-explanatory, add additional details in the presentation notes.
Answer preview
- The large number of cloud applications used in AWS creates a security visibility problem
- The variation of logins and controls across the many users makes it hard to know who is accessing the system
- Due to the high number of users, detecting a malicious activity is a major problem
- The absence of a security strategy to support the management of the cloud applications makes the problem a serious one
- Lack of security visibility increases the chances of insider threat
- The reduced visibility also raises the problem of the incompleteness of data deletion
