Threat Modeling

A new medium-sized health care facility just opened and you are hired as the CIO. The CEO is somewhat technical and has tasked you with creating a threat model. The CEO needs to decide from 3 selected models but needs your recommendation. Review this week’s readings, conduct your own research, then choose a model to recommend with proper justifications. Items to include (at a minimum) are:

• User authentication and credentials with third-party applications
• 3 common security risks with ratings: low, medium or high
• Justification of your threat model (why it was chosen over the other two: compare and contrast)

You will research several threat models as it applies to the health care industry, summarize three models and choose one as a recommendation to the CEO in a summary with a model using UML Diagrams (Do not copy and paste images from the Internet). In your research paper, be sure to discuss the security risks and assign a label of low, medium or high risks and the CEO will make the determination to accept the risks or mitigate them.

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

• Be approximately four to six pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.
• Follow APA 7 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.
• Support your answers with the readings from the course and at least two scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook.

Information security uses administrative, technical (logical), and physical controls to mitigate risks related to organization’s assets.  A policy is an administrative control. 

If no policy exist in the IT department, research shows that employees will default to a defacto policy.  A defacto policy means a policy that is in effect ,but not formally recognize.  To stop this for happening, It is important for students to understand how to take the cloud best practices discussed throughout this course and use them to create a cloud security policy.  Cloud security fundamentals and mechanisms is a huge part of the cloud security policy.  

For this assignment, read the attached article: “Our Journey to the Cloud”.  Use the  SANS email policy template SANS email policy template – Alternative Formats

  to create a policy for the cloud.  Please note, the SANS policy is a template you can use to structure your policy.  If you are having trouble with the links above, these supporting documents can be found in the Cloud Policy Assignment Documents folder.

In the final discussion posting please describe what components of cryptography impacted you the most.

I would prefer about asymmetric cryptography and the math underlying it.  Use of proper APA formatting and citations. If supporting evidence from outside resources is used those must be properly cited. 30-35  lines should be good enough.
