INTRODUCTION

 

Information security professionals must understand how to apply ethical security principles and processes to their organizations. These standards should define the organization’s specific needs and demands to assure data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. An organization’s employees must be aware of the security challenges it is facing.

 

In this task, you will analyze ethical challenges related to information security and develop a training plan for an organization, which will raise awareness of these challenges, convey strategies, and prevent unwanted developments.

SCENARIO

 

Review the attached “TechFite Case Study” for information on the company being investigated. You should base your responses on this scenario.

REQUIREMENTS

 

Your submission must be your original work. No more than a combined total of 30% of the submission and no more than a 10% match to any one individual source can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly. The similarity report that is provided when you submit your task can be used as a guide.

 

You must use the rubric to direct the creation of your submission because it provides detailed criteria that will be used to evaluate your work. Each requirement below may be evaluated by more than one rubric aspect. The rubric aspect titles may contain hyperlinks to relevant portions of the course.
