Reference no: EM133140024

Your group is working for a global organization that handles highly classified intellectual property. Your team has been tasked with developing a series of important network security policies that will provide direction and guidance to the organization on important information security issues.

Each group member will choose an element(s) of the policy to research and design. The group will collaborate on what the overall design and outline should look like and include components from end-user behavior, a training plan, file and folder access, social engineering safeguards, bring-your-own-device policies, use of external drives on company assets, security hardware, penetration testing, and affiliation of the information security department with law enforcement agencies. Students may either interview someone in the local FBI field office or research the FBI and DHS Web sites related to information-sharing programs that the government offers; this could be advantageous to the organization's information security program.

Assign group members to the sections below, research the various components, and create an appropriate policy.
