Essay Instructions: I just wanted to send out a clarification on the Risk Assessment Paper due December 9th before everyone beats themselves silly, neglects their other coursework and loses sleepless nights trying to produce a Chief Information Security Officer-level risk assessment. I love the enthusiasm if that's how you are approaching it but I also understand that a 15 page Risk Assessment is probably something most of you have never done before and this course does not train you specifically on how to do it.

The scenario that you are assessing is deliberately very generic and I know to some of the more technical members of the class this can be a little frustrating. I've received numerous requests for more details about things that were left out, such as whether the operating systems used are 32 or 64 bit and other engineering specs. My answer is this: make whatever assumptions about what's really going on within the fictional company that you want and as long as you align your risk assessment and recommendations for risk mitigation to those assumptions, I am fine with it. Creatively embellish the scenario; just make sure you use and analyze whatever you add in your risk assessment report.

I'm also not focusing on a specific format and provided examples of formats that are being used just to give you a framework if you were interested in following it. I'm open to whatever format you are comfortable with. I'm really just looking to see that you got something from the material and can incorporate your knowledge of the CISSP body of knowledge to conduct a risk analysis effectively. I fully realize this is alien terrain for most of you.

The few things that you will be hit for points on that I can't help are:

not meeting the minimum page count of 15 pages
not citing your work correctly using APA style manual format
plagiarizing other's work

Essay Instructions: Assignment 2: Identifying Potential Risk, Response, and Recovery

In Assignment 1: Identifying Potential Malicious Attacks, Threats, and Vulnerabilities, you were recently
hired as an Information Security Engineer for a videogame development company. After viewing a
growing number of reports detailing malicious activity, the CIO requested you identify and draft a report
identifying potential malicious attacks, threats, and vulnerabilities specific to your organization. He asked
you to include a brief explanation of each item and the potential impact it could have on the organization.
After review of your report, the CIO requests that you develop a follow-up plan developing a strategy for
dealing with all risks (i.e., risk mitigation, risk assignment, risk acceptance, or risk avoidance) identified in
Assignment 1. Further, your plan should identify controls (i.e., administrative, preventative, detective, and
corrective) that will be used to mitigate each risk previously identified.
Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:
1. For each malicious attack and threat identified in Assignment 1, choose a strategy for dealing
with the risk (i.e., risk mitigation, risk assignment, risk acceptance, or risk avoidance).
2. For each malicious attack and threat identified in Assignment 1, develop controls (i.e.,
administrative, preventative, detective, and corrective) that will be used to mitigate each risk.
3. For each vulnerability identified in Assignment 1, choose a strategy for dealing with the risk (i.e.,
risk mitigation, risk assignment, risk acceptance, or risk avoidance).
4. For each vulnerability identified in Assignment 1, develop controls (i.e., administrative,
preventative, detective, and corrective) that will be used to mitigate each risk.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
? Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all
sides; references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any
additional instructions.
