...GIAC Enterprises Security Controls Implementation Plan Group Discussion and Written Project John Hally, Erik Couture 08/07/2011 GIAC Enterprises – Security Controls Implementation Plan Table of Contents Executive Summary Introduction Security Controls Implementation Plan Incident Response Weekend Plan Conclusions References 3 3 4 6 9 9 2 GIAC Enterprises – Security Controls Implementation Plan Executive Summary The cyber-threat landscape has evolved significantly in recent years. From primarily a threat of denial of service and website vandalism in years past, to the currently advanced and well resourced adversaries employing complex technologies to achieve financial and political benefit. At GIAC Enterprises, we have observed huge increases in suspicious network activity directed at our corporate networks, sometimes even targeting key individuals. Due to the huge global increase in demand for fortune cookie messages, it is reasonable to expect that this undesired attention will only increase in the coming months and years as cyber-criminals and possibly corporate spies attempt to closely monitor our business activities and steal vital business information. This paper presents the recommendations of the tiger team, which was recently formed, with the goals of: 1. Developing a strategy for the implementation of the SANS Top 20 Security Controls, and in particular the creation of an incident response capability; and 2. Identifying and eradicating any possible...

...TRIDENT UNIVERSITY INTERNATIONAL ITM 423: System Acquisition, System Development and Project Management Module 1: IT Systems Planning and Acquisition Case Assignment May 2014 Term May 25, 2014 Assignment: Prepare a 4-6 page paper addressing the following issue: “Review the Challenges in IT System Planning and Discuss in Detail the Problem of Scope Creep” Review the Challenges in IT System Planning and Discuss in Detail the Problem of Scope Creep The overall goal of any project manager is to successfully deliver the project they are overseeing to the customer on time and within the budget that was allotted. This is a lofty goal when you consider that an overwhelming majority of projects do not meet this criteria. To put a figure to that, Claudia Vandermitt in her 2011 article on Managing Scope Creep makes a note to mention that only 32% of all projects were successful in completing on time and on budget. That is quite a shocking percentage, but when you think about how fast IT technology is advancing and creating solutions that encompass the whole enterprise then you can start to get a better picture of the internal and external factors that a project manager needs to plan for to make things not spiral out of control. This is what is going to set the backdrop of this assignment and here I will expand upon and analyze these concepts. For this assignment I’ll start out by discussing the challenges faced in IT systems planning and things the project manager will...
