Overview
The increasing number of remote workers introduces new vulnerabilities, as employees access corporate networks from various, potentially unsecured locations. This scenario often reveals hidden expertise gaps within IT teams, who must now manage a broader range of security issues across multiple platforms. Furthermore, the integration of BYOD devices into the workplace adds another layer of complexity. These personal devices, with varied levels of security, accessing corporate networks, present unique challenges in maintaining a secure IT environment.
In this assignment, you will explore the implications of these evolving trends on the security of operating systems within an enterprise context. You will analyze how the integration of diverse operating systems, influenced by mobility and BYOD trends, impacts an organization’s security posture. Your task will involve developing strategies to mitigate risks associated with BYOD devices and one other security threat, such as ransomware, hacker scams, insider threats, remote work vulnerabilities, or hidden expertise gaps.
Preparation
Research security features of a mobile OS of your choice.
Research security risks associated with one other threat of your choice from the following list:
Ransomware.
Hacker scams.
Insider threats.
Remote work vulnerabilities.
Hidden expertise gaps.
Instructions
Complete each of the following parts in a Word document. Use clear headers that label each part and section.
Evaluate common security threats for enterprises.
Evaluate threats addressed by a BYOD policy.
Evaluate threats addressed by one other security policy.
Explain the risk factors associated with mobile devices and one other security threat.
Analyze the vulnerabilities that inform these risks.
Analyze security protocols on routers and switches.
Support the analysis with reference to scholarly or industry research on common security threats.
Evaluate how features of a specific mobile OS keep their devices secure.
