Summative Assessment

8702Consider yourself as a network security specialist. As you try to secure the security posture of your environment, you realize that different threats can interfere with the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data-at-rest, data-in-transit, and processing. Some threats may affect only 1 of these elements of security (such as confidentiality only), and other threats affect more than one or even all these elements.

In this assignment, you will be evaluated on your asset protection skill.

Create a 1- to 2-page table in Microsoft® Word identifying a minimum of 6 threats, using the column headers and details below:

Column Headers

Assignment checklist:
Title Page
The total paper must be 350 – 700words (about 1-2 pages but I will be looking at word count)
Recommendation: Use the bullets or key points in the instructions and create corresponding heading and subheaders. This way it will be obvious that you hit the key points
Include at least two references that are properly cited
Any images must have a caption and reference in the paper.
Combine any screenshots (if used) and the remainder of the assignment into one APA formatted document. If you submit the assignment in multiple parts you will lose points
Follow APA format (fonts, etc) – For details on the formatting see the UOP library tab.
All assignments will be in MS Word format unless otherwise noted.
