A risk management and mitigation plan for security vulnerabilities.
The CIO of your organization has asked you to create a risk management and mitigation plan for security vulnerabilities.
Select five vulnerabilities and align associated risks to a risk management framework, such as NIST SP 800-37.
Create a risk matrix in which you:
Consider the potential vulnerabilities or threats facing the organization.
Describe the risk each vulnerability or threat would have on the organization in terms of its people, network, data, or reputation.
Explain the impact of each risk on the organization.
Provide a defined mitigation for each vulnerability, such as an incident response plan, disaster recovery plan, or business continuity plan. Give a defined reason why a vulnerability or threat would not be mitigated, such as the use of a different risk control strategy, if appropriate.
As part of your risk management plan, provide an executive summary of the major issues that are shown in the matrix and the impact they may have on business operations.
