25 Jul Challenges for Fixing Vulnerabilities Worksheet
You’ve been learning about various vulnerabilities and their associated risks during the week, yet companies are not always able to fix all their discovered vulnerabilities.
Choose a company and research five of their most common vulnerabilities, threats, and risks.
Consider what steps the company took to mitigate these vulnerabilities, threats, and risks. Which of these was the company unable to fix?
Create a table comparing 10 of the vulnerabilities, threats, and risks for the real-world security incident discussed by the class, along with related vulnerabilities that may have contributed to the security incident.
Include the following as at least 3 of the comparisons used in the table.
- How was the vulnerability detected?
- What protocol was attacked?
- How were steps taken to resolve the vulnerability?
Note: The last page of your table should include a narrative with your account of the trends revealed in the table.
Include additional detail, color commentary, or insights that you might share in a discussion about the table.
Write a 1- to 2-page narrative explaining trends shown from the table.
