Write a 2½- to 3 ½-page security vulnerability report in Microsoft Word based on the organization CAPITAL ONE. An internal review of your organization was previously conducted and found the following vulnerabilities:

• – A formal Password Policy has not been developed that meets your organization’s regulatory requirements.
•       -The organization only uses single factor authentication using weak passwords.
•             – Vulnerability Severity: High
•             – Impact: Threats could easily guess weak passwords allowing unauthorized access.
• – Software configuration management does not exist on your organization’s production servers.
•        – There are different configurations on each server and no operating system patching schedule.
•               – Vulnerability Severity: Moderate
•               – Impact: With ad hoc configuration management, the organization could inadvertently or unintentionally                         make changes to the servers that could cause a self-imposed denial of service.
• – An Incident Response Plan has not been developed.
•        – There is not a formal process for responding to a security incident.
•               – Vulnerability Severity: High
•               – Impact: In the event of a security incident, an ad hoc process could allow the security incident to get worse and spread throughout the network; the actual attack may not be recognized or handled in a timely manner giving the attacker more time to expand the attack.

 – Consider people, processes, and technology that can be exploited by the source of a threat.

– Include recommended countermeasures to mitigate the impacts and risks of the vulnerabilities.
