Report - System attack evaluation. -- 5

Security (and the maintenance of security) is an issue that many companies have to consider, often constantly, in order to protect both corporate and user data, assets, and other general information. Breaches of this security have happened in the past, at many different levels. A breach often has many effects, affecting both the consumer and the company. This report should cover topics such as: - An example of an SDL model, with appropriate justification and explanation as to why this model should have been followed (or was not followed) and how it would have affected the breach. - The security level of the system at the time of the breach - both at a technical and practical level. Was the system updated regularly? Were users afforded all possible protections? - How effectively risks were mitigated (or not mitigated) and how the company chose to safeguard against those risks. This assessment requires you to investigate a case of your choosing (this will require approval from the facilitator, and you need to make sure it is ready for the facilitator to check before the module 6 meeting). You will also need to determine the base failures that led to the issues that the company faced. You will write a report that focuses on the following three areas:  Key Failings - what went wrong, why did it go wrong, and whose responsibility was it? (A system may be responsible; it doesn’t necessarily have to be a person.)  Immediate actions - what actions did the parties affected take, and how effective was their immediate response?  Long-term changes - were there any visible changes from the company? If so, what were they, how effective were they, and how do they stack up against the core concepts covered in this module?
