Week 8 Research Analysis Briefing

You are approaching the end of your time supporting Sifers-Grayson. Your team leader has asked you to prepare a 2 page research and analysis brief (“briefing paper”) for the company’s executives in which you identify the five most important technologies which the company should adopt in order to improve its security posture.
Provide specific details as to why each technology is required (what is the vulnerability or weakness that the technology will address). Then, make a recommendation for how the company should implement that technology. You must provide specific, actionable information. Your recommendations must also be based upon recognized best practices. Include the following steps in your research and analysis as you select and evaluate technologies, products, and services that will help improve the company’s security posture:

Identify Candidate Technologies.
Research Products and Services which implement the technologies.
Identify Vendors.
Evaluate Products & Services (use existing market research).
Cite the sources of information used in your research and analysis (document where you obtained your information from). Use a professional citation format and provide a reference list at the end of your briefing paper.
