Individual: LabSim® Host Defenses and IT Security Guidance Plan

Part I

Complete the TestOut® for LabSim® Security Pro module, "Host Defenses."

Complete the quizzes.

Capture a screenshot of the results page showing your score after having completed each quiz.

Note: This portion should have been completed prior in the week.  Please include your document containing the screenshots for this portion within your .zip folder.

Part II

Review your LabSims that you completed in Weeks One through Five.

Prepare a 15-slide presentation with speaker notes for Senior Management that will provide an outline for a Security Guidance plan encompassing best practices from key areas that were covered in this course.

Your plan should include the following areas:

• Reasons why the company needs a security plan
• Why an assessment should be performed to determine a baseline for the security in the company
• How security best practices can be used and implemented to maintain systems and network security
• Explanation of the difference between Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery and which the company should implement
• Discussion of the Security Control methods and recommendation of one process for the company (in your notes explain why this method is best for the company)
• Show the threat/attack risk mitigation strategies that can be used to enhance network and IT security

Note: You will not be developing the full security plan, but providing guidance on what the organization will need to consider when developing and implementing the plan. You may use writings from previous weeks in the course as draft documents to develop this more comprehensive guidance plan.

Develop a clear presentation with minimal text on each slide - utilize bullet points with your details in the speaker notes.  Provide charts and graphs of current statistics where necessary to emphasize your points.
