Wk 2 – Apply: Using the Security Rating Scale

Assignment Content

1. Complete Project 12.1, “Using the Security Rating Scale” from Ch. 12, “Assessing System Security,” of Network Defense and Countermeasures: Principles and Practices.

   Create a well-organized paper with distinct sections.

   • The first should include a security rating based on attractiveness of target, nature of the data and the level of security applied. You should show a rating for each component as well as a total rating for the network. Be sure to describe the reasoning for the rating you scored each component
   • Provide recommendations to improve the overall security score.
   • Since you don’t have detailed information on the campus network, you will need to make some reasonable assumptions on the data a typical college would have and they security controls they would likely have deployed. Do not apply this to your home network.

     Ensure that your document is 2 to 3 pages and includes charts.
