Assignment:
Mobile Device Management (MDM) Policy
Discussion 1: Document Policy Impact
Now that you have listed crucial concerns surrounding critical infrastructure, cyber-physical systems, and the internet of things, in this step, you will report on policy impact.
Specifically consider:
• the impact, if any, on the critical infrastructure of the company's mobile device management policies
• policy or compliance initiatives that can address these concerns.
• a recommended cybersecurity policy framework that when deployed would minimize the opportunity for a successful critical infrastructure cyberattack
Compile your ideas in a report titled Policy Alignment. Create a section in your report titled Policy Impact to document your ideas. This report will also be included as an appendix to the updated MDM policy presentation for the board of directors. You will add to this report in the next step.
Discussion 2: Describe Policy Issues Related to Cyber-Physical Systems and Internet of Things (IoT)
Continue to build the Policy Alignment report from the previous step. Now that policy impact has been considered, you will examine policy issues related to cyber-physical systems (CPS) and the internet of things (IoT).
Create two sections in the Policy Alignment report. The first section will be titled Policy Issues Related to Cyber-Physical Systems. In this section of the report, describe enterprise, national, and international cybersecurity policy issues that arise due to the deployment of cyber-physical systems. In the second section, titled Policy Issues Related to IoT, describe enterprise, national, and international cybersecurity policy issues that arise due to the effect of the internet of things.
This report will also be included as an appendix to the updated MDM policy presentation for the board of directors. You will add to this report in the next step.
Discussion 3: Analyze Current Technology Developments
After documenting policy impact on critical infrastructure and describing policy issues related to cyber-physical systems and the internet of things in the previous steps, move the focus to current technology developments relevant to mobile device management such as mobile payments and bring your own device (BYOD).
As the CISO of a global financial institution, analyze how such developments affect cybersecurity management and policy at the enterprise, national, and international levels. Also consider relevant technological development topics that may affect policy, such as mobile device privacy concerns. Document your findings in the final section of the Policy Alignment Report. This report will be included as an appendix to the updated MDM policy presentation for the board of directors. Submit the Policy Alignment Report for feedback, and will be assessed as part of the final Project. Name the files Appendix 1, Appendix 2, etc.
