8-9 A survey of your firm’s IT infrastructure has identified a number of security vulnerabilities. Review the data about these vulnerabilities (see a copy of the file from MyLab MIS attached). Use the table to answer the following questions:
- Calculate the total number of vulnerabilities for each platform. What is the potential impact on the organization of the security problems for each computing platform? (25 pts)
- If you only have one information systems specialist in charge of security, which platforms should you address first in trying to eliminate these vulnerabilities? Second? Third? Last? Why? (25 pts)
- Identify the types of control problems these vulnerabilities illustrate and explain the measures that should be taken to solve them. (25 pts)
- What does your firm risk by ignoring the security vulnerabilities identified? (25 pts)
NB: Please use MS Word to compile your answers to the question and submit the word file.
