Analyzing a Security Breach
Many types of systems are networked together, and the number of devices that are added to this network increases every year. You can set your home security alarm system using a smartphone app or use another mobile app to open your car door. With this explosive growth of networked systems, companies work harder to bring more sophisticated security systems online for greater protection from outside attacks.
However, it is more and more evident that the human factor is the weakest link. A company's chief financial officer may write a password on a piece of scrap paper kept near the computer. Another employee may use his birthday for a password. These types of security gaps remain prevalent even as methods for preventing outside attacks increase.
For this Discussion, you will analyze a security breach caused by an employee or third party from inside an organization.
Search the web or the Walden library for a news article concerning a security breach that occurred inside an organization.
Post a 300- to 500-word analysis of the security breach. Include in your analysis a summary of the breach and an explanation of how it occurred. If the article does not provide sufficient detail, include an explanation of how the breach might have occurred. Propose a set of plans and/or countermeasures that could have prevented the breach.
