Let's continue to look at Silver Wings Express, the small charter air operator you were "employed" with back during Module 5.
1. You've been warned that the owner and general manager would like to talk with you this morning, over a short coffee break, about information risk management. How would you recommend that Silver Wings Express set up an information risk management program? What should it be trying to accomplish? What might its major tasks be? Put together your talking notes of how you'd give the owner a "two-cuppa" briefing on what they need and how to achieve it.
2. In many ways, three major aspects of information - quality, risk management, and security and assurance - are treated as if they are completely separate and distinct fields of study and practice. They have separate professional organizations, and the bodies of literature they produce and use treats the three subjects as if they have very little in common. And yet it seems that at heart they cover most of the same problems and issues, just with very different levels of emphasis, and with different approaches. Which view do you find more correct, logical, or useful, as you think about what Silver Wings Express needs to do? Explain your reasoning.
3. In this week's Presentation, we explored several different perspectives from which information systems security and assurance (and information quality!) issues can be addressed. Pick one of these - or use a combination of them, if you find that more useful -- and use it to briefly outline your recommendations for what Silver Wings Express ought to be doing.
4. We sometimes hear people try to separate the things we don't know into two different groups - the "known unknowns," and the "unknown unknowns." Key to that separation seems to be that you are somehow able to manage or deal with the things you can name or make a few guesses about, than you are the things you just don't have the first inklings about. How do you see this problem relating to information risk? Explain your reasoning.
