Unit 1 Roles Scenario 1. There are many different threats to consider when considering the IT infrastructure at hand.1 of the branches is located in Oklahoma and that is know for its tornados that could be a environmental hazard right there. Also the fact that they employ so many people all over the whole country provides human threats from disgruntled employees. The database server has all of its information stored locally rather. 2. The location in Oklahoma is a vulnerability because of its location so its important to have all of its information backed up and moved to a remote location daily. Lack of antivirus software and maintaining its updates can result in a malware vulnerability. No software or databases being backed up can be a huge vulnerability. 3. A tornado can be a threat and its vulnerability can be its location and not having a plan for if and when it does hit. Having many different employees all over the country can be a threat and the vulnerability can be having no antivirus software, also not keeping software up to date. The database server data all being stored at the same location can be a threat. Not backing up the information can be a vulnerability that will be horrible incase of loss of information or system failure. 4. The likelihood of a tornado hitting in a location that is high for environmental disasters of that sort can be somewhat decent i would estimate %50. The likelihood of a disgruntled employee trying to implement malware i feel could be high somewhere around %80. The likelihood of a system failure and losing all data in the database i would estimate has a lower probability but the most devastating effects. All data will be lost if proper measures are not taken to prepare for such a incident. 5. In conclusion i have detected a few threats and have a few suggestions to help prevent any loss. I propose backing up all data from server databases and remote locations and have them moved daily to an off site location. I suggest using a antivirus and minting its updates. This should also help to prevent stolen data.
