Cyber Security Question

You are a corporate or military senior IT manager (Director/Senior Director/VP-CIO or military equivalent) in your chosen project organization. You are required by the top executives (or military equivalents) to initiate a new organization-wide IT upgrade project (you may choose your own). You agree with this decision, its purposes, and the technology involved. You see this assignment as finally getting your long-sought mandate for improvement that will substantially leverage organizational performance.

However, significant IT changes have not always been welcomed within your organization. In fact, your most recent attempt, which had much less profound change, developed some significant resistance. This time you have decided that you and your unit must do considerable preliminary work to pave the way, gain support for, as well as reduce resistance to, this new and vital effort.

You could plow forward using executive mandate. From your MSITM coursework, you understand that IT change has its best chance for success when it considers the system and is a carefully developed, initiated, and managed process.

For this module, you will continue the description and assessment of your chosen organization. At minimum, address these important descriptive and analytic questions, providing enough information to assure clarity:

Describe the organization from the perspective of its current (unclassified) IT operating technology infrastructure, or the IT technology it provides to its internal or external customers). Discuss its technology deployment, effectiveness, and contribution to organizational or customer success. Also discuss dominant IT strategies and tactics.

Discuss technological barriers to, as well as circumstances which may foster continued IT success and organizational contribution.
