The purpose behind a proposal is to develop skills that show a high degree of consideration for your audience, and establish a strong persuasive argument that is well articulated.

For some projects these items might not be necessary in the initial stages, but including them shows attention to audience awareness.

The purpose statement in the introduction
The statement that indicates what you are proposing in your plan
Sources for where you found the cost
Who is responsible for each cost
Your cost table introduction
Total cost of the project
The introduction to the timetable
The measure of success in the Expected Results section

Develop a security awareness program for MUSA Corporation. Propose to mitigate the security gaps for the corporation given in the Case Document Word. Explain what security tools and employee readiness strategies will be used.

Case for Final Project

BACKGROUND:

You were just hired as the new chief information security officer for Multiple Unite Security Assurance (MUSA) Corporation whose security posture is low. The first thing your chief executive officer tells you is that they have recently seen a presentation by one of the information security team members emphasizing the importance of having a security awareness program. As a result, you have been asked to develop a security awareness program for MUSA Corporation based on the following 10 security gaps:

  1. No annual cyber security awareness training, which is causing high phishing and social engineering attacks
  2. No configuration change management policy (to reduce unintentional threats)
  3. No intrusion detection/prevention system
  4. Logs are not being collected or analyzed
  5. No media access control policy
  6. No encryption or hashing to control data flow and unauthorized alteration of data
  7. Vulnerability assessment is conducted every three years; unable to assess the security posture status
  8. High turnover and low morale among the employees (due to lack of employee readiness programs and work planning strategy)
  9. High number of theft reports and security incidents; possible unethical/disgruntled employees
  10. No segregation of duties or mandatory vacation policies (to mitigate intentional threats)

To that end, you will make recommendations for enhancing security policies, practices, and processes that are currently contributing to a dysfunctional security culture. Your chief goal is to build a program that will foster a healthy security culture and ensure continuous improvement. Your task is to develop a security awareness program that consists of four major components:

  1. Proposal Introduction
  2. Security Policies Development
  3. Continuous Monitoring Plan

Communication Plan

Assignment

Questions:

As part of the planned solution, you will

  • Propose to mitigate the security gaps for the corporation given in the Case Document Word (refer to the attached document named “Case Document” and the highlighted #3 inside the attached Case Document file)
