Instructions
1. Consider the various threats to information systems. Describe the three most serious threats to each of the following businesses:
a. A local workout studio
b. A neighborhood accounting firm
c. A dentist's office
d. A Honda dealership
As you work on these 4 business types....keep in mind that they all will have DIFFERENT threats...so don't just list the same "threats" for all four businesses. Yes - they may have one (maybe two) similar issues to be concerned about, but with a little research you will easily identify threats specific to each business type.
1. Describe a potential data safeguard for each of the threats you identified in your answer to question 1. If no data safeguard is appropriate to a business, explain why.
2. Describe a potential human safeguard for each of the threats you identified in your answer to question 1.
3. How likely are the threats you identified in question 1? If you owned these businesses, which of the items you described in questions 1 through 3 would you implement? If you choose not to implement an item, explain why.
