CMIT 321 Executive Proposal Project

The purpose of this project is to evaluate the student's ability to research and evaluate security testing software and present a proposal for review by executive team members. By completing the document the student will also gain practical knowledge of the security evaluation documentation and proposal writing process. The project will enable the student to identify and understand the required standards in practice, as well as the details that should be covered within a proposal.

Project Deliverable 

·     Using the Case Study presented in this document, an executive proposal.

·     Provide a three to five page proposal summarizing purpose and benefit of chosen security software to the executive management team.

·     The student will evaluate and test security testing software for purposes of testing corporate network security. The purpose of the software is to measure the security posture of the organization by identifying vulnerabilities and help prevent future attacks and deter any real-time unknown threats.

·     The proposal should effectively describe the software in a manner that will allow the executive team members to understand the purpose and benefits of the software to approve purchase.

Guidelines

·     Evaluate and select a security tool for recommendation that you learned about in the iLabs modules or the EC-Council text books.

·     The proposal document must be 3 to 5 Pg long, conforming to APA standards. See "Writing Resources" in the online classroom where you'll find help on writing for research projects.

·     At least three authoritative, outside references are required (anonymous authors or web pages are not acceptable). These should be listed on the last page titled "References."

·     This will be graded on quality of research topic, quality of paper information, use of citations, grammar and sentence structure, and creativity.

·     The paper is due during Week 7 of this course.

Company Description

Medical Solutions Systems

Medical Solutions Systems is a startup medical research and development company. After five years of extraordinary success in the development of innovative medical and pharmaceutical products, Medical Solutions Systems is on its way to becoming a major player in the medical research and development industry. However, due to its success, Medical Solutions Systems has also become a major target of cybercriminals. Medical Solutions Systems has been the victim of cybercriminal attempts to steal intellectual property and sell it to Medical Solutions Systems' competitors. It is suspected that the corporate network has been infiltrated from unauthorized sources more than once. In 2013, Medical Solutions Systems was falsely accused of unethical research and development practices. The false allegations resulted in the defacement of Medical Solutions Systems' public website and several Denial of Service attacks at different times over a 9 month period that brought the corporate network to its knees. These attacks had a major impact on Medical Solutions Systems' ability to conduct business and resulted in undesirable publicity for the company.
