Reference no: EM131358788

You just summarized operating systems and information systems for leadership. In your mind, you can already hear leadership saying "So what?" They are not well versed in web security issues; so in your SAR you decide to include an explanation of advantages and disadvantages of the different operating systems and their known vulnerabilities.

Prepare by first reviewing the different types of vulnerabilities and intrusions explained in these resources:

• Windows vulnerabilities
• Linux vulnerabilities
• Mac OS vulnerabilities
• SQL PL/SQL, XML and other injections

Based on what you gathered from the resources, compose the OS vulnerability section of the SAR.  Be sure to:

1. Explain Windows vulnerabilities and Linux vulnerabilities.
2. Explain the Mac OS vulnerabilities, and vulnerabilities of mobile devices.
3. Explain the motives and methods for intrusion of the MS and Linux operating systems;
4. Explain the types of security awareness technologies such as intrusion detection and intrusion prevention systems.
5. Describe how and why different corporate and government systems are targets.
6. Describe different types of intrusions such as SQL PL/SQL, XML, and other injections

You will provide leadership with a brief overview of vulnerabilities in your SAR.
