Lab 6 Assessment
Develop a Risk Mitigation Plan Outline for an IT Infrastructure
1. Why is it important to prioritize your IT infrastructure risks, threats, and vulnerabilities?
It is important to prioritize because you must be aware of what the risks, threats, and vulnerabilities there are to your infrastructure. You need this so that you know where the most attention needs to be focused on.
4. What questions do you have for executive management in order to finalize your IT risk mitigation plan? What is the budget? What are their priorities?
Disclose all your thoughts on the matter. Also show them other options and how you came to your conclusion, make sure the executive management agrees.
5. What is the most important risk mitigation requirement you uncovered and want to communicate to executive management?
What is the most important risk mitigation requirement to the executive management group?
6. Based on your IT mitigation plan, what is the difference between short-term and long term risk mitigation tasks and on-going duties?
Short-term are risks that can be fixed rapidly and will (more than likely) not have long term effects on the long company, term risks are risks that can end in fines if they involve compliance issues. On-going duties are the daily duties that must be done in order for the company to perform with minimal risks.
7. Which of the seven domains of a typical IT infrastructure is easy to implement risk mitigation solutions but difficult to monitor and track effectiveness?
Of the seven domains, in my opinion, the remote access domain is the easiest to implement solutions for but more difficult to monitor and track effectiveness.
8. When considering the implementation of software updates, software patches, and software fixes. Why must you test this upgrade or software patch before you implement this as a risk mitigation tactic?
The goal of testing patches before deployment is to ensure the system's applications and operations are not impacted, and business
