CYB 250 Module Six Activity Guidelines and Rubric

Overview

As a security analyst, even though it may not relate immediately to your day-to-day job, it’s a best prac�ce to be aware of emerging trends in the industry because they may eventually affect

your organiza�on. Think about how fast mobile devices have evolved and become pervasive in both business and personal applica�ons. Managing emerging technologies requires a two-

pronged approach: the technological aspect and the social aspect. You might need to upgrade your system and your policies that affect employee behaviors. There is o�en no right or wrong

answer when integra�ng emerging technologies as long as the technology isn’t detrimental to your system; however, following best prac�ces as defined by the industry, staying current with

trade publica�ons, and networking with your peers will help you be successful. As you address the technological and policy-related updates of implemen�ng emerging technology in your

organiza�on, it is important to think about what it means to use the technology and adhere to the policies you are upda�ng. Using a systems-thinking approach can help with this.

Scenario

You are a cybersecurity analyst, and your organiza�on has no�ced a new trend. More and more employees are bringing their personal devices to work and connec�ng them to the company’s

Wi-Fi. The security team has recognized this as an issue and has decided to create a new segmented network for employees to use for their personal devices. This is a more secure solu�on

because it separates data traffic for personal use and allows the organiza�on to encrypt the communica�on. This benefits both the employees who want to use their personal devices at

work and the organiza�on.

This change to the system includes two steps from two different teams. The IT team is going to build the isolated secure network for employees only, and the security team needs to update

the bring your own device (BYOD) policy. Your manager has asked you to dra� the update to this policy. Your requirement is to update the policy to reflect the changes in the system in

response to this new ini�a�ve.

Prompt

Review your organiza�on’s BYOD policy in the Module Six Ac�vity document linked in the Suppor�ng Materials below. A�er reviewing the BYOD policy, write a response in which you

describe a possible modifica�on you would make to this policy to reflect the changes in the system from the scenario. Your response should also describe the impact that this policy update

could have on organiza�onal culture.

You must address the cri�cal elements listed below.

I. Policy Update

A. Iden�fy three of the most important policy statements from the BYOD policy and explain why they are essen�al to protec�ng the organiza�on.

employees?
