1. 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. (Remember, APA is double spaced)
   • 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 ( 

• Cryptographic Attacks
• Attacks on Social Networks: Argument for Cryptography
• Threat Modeling
• Security Models
• Public Key Infrastructure) and at least two scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook. The UC Library is a great place to find resources.
  • Be clearly and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing.
