From the product designed expanded as follows.
1. From your list of possible responses to the threat, choose one that you will focus on in this product. Create the requirements for your product by completely identifying the problem and then completely listing the outputs of your product (what information and/or actions your product produces). A requirements document lists what is needed (required) to solve the problem.
2. Now that you have specified the problem and listed the required outputs, focus on what the product will do. Create the specifications for your product by completely listing the functionality of the product (ie, list what the product will do) and all the inputs needed for your product to function correctly. Do not focus on how the product will work; that is design.
3. Create the design of your product. Design focuses on issues of algorithms and data structures. Use pseudo-code to specify detailed and unambiguous algorithms for your product.
Note: I have the option to change the change the product to a much more simpler one that can be easily expanded.
Here is the initial question:
Create the design for a new product (you are just "making this up") which attempts to identify data security / information assurance risks in a specific IT domain. In this first part of the design, identify a problem (eg, data security threat or information assurance issue) in a particular IT domain (environment), and then list some possible responses to that threat. The design of the product will be expanded in later assignments.
