1. Provide an in-depth discussion of the potential shortcomings associated with each level of protection when there is improper monitoring, maintenance, and assessment of risk of systems and countermeasures implemented. Students are expected to brainstorm about potential shortcomings based on the definitions of the levels of protection provided in the textbook as well as information accessed from outside sources (e.g., direct observations, scholarly sources, media outlets).
2. Discuss the difference between outer and inner controls and why maintaining both types of control are important to an agency's risk reduction and asset protection. Discuss whether or not there are any instances in which maintaining one type of control is more important than maintaining the other. Be sure to provide support for your arguments.
