Information Security Policy Management and Career Planning Assignment

This assignment, focusing on Information Security Policy Management, guides students through IT career planning. The student analyzes job advertisements, comparing educational and certification requirements for both immediate post-graduation and a 10-year plan. The assignment involves creating tables to compare these requirements. Furthermore, the student identifies and describes information security tools, including log analyzers, platform security validation, and wireless vulnerability assessment, along with a discussion of their applications. The student also explores vulnerability assessment, identifies a website supporting hackers, and identifies network scanning tools like Nmap. The assignment demonstrates the student's ability to analyze job requirements, plan a career path, and understand information security tools.

can be performed (Cranmer et al. 2017).
Platform security validation The platform security validation is the
process of documenting the vulnerabilities
which can remain in the system due to the
misconfiguration in the system (Sapountzi
and Psannis 2018).
Wireless vulnerability assessment The wireless vulnerability assessment
process is also quite similar which is used
for documenting the vulnerabilities that can
remain in the local area network (Akhtar
and Ahamad 2018).
Risk assessment’s identification It is used for identifying the latent
vulnerabilities.
Modem vulnerability assessment It is used for identifying and documenting
vulnerabilities in dial-up modems (Oancea,
Florez Petour and Atkinson 2017).
Exercise 3:
From the web one website has been found that support the hackers is the
https://www.hackerone.com/. In this case only one similar type of tool has been founded
which is the Nmap or the Network Mapper. The Nmap is actually a free and open source
software that is used for network scanning.
