Assignment 6: Evaluate Risks
For this assignment, you will reply to another student’s scenario and expand upon potential security risks that might be present in that scenario.
Discussion Requirements
Choose one person’s initial post about risk assessment, read the scenario they describe, and identify at least one additional risk that they didn’t identify, and which no other student has identified in any existing reply. Make a single reply post in which you respectfully point out the additional risk that you have identified in their scenario. Cite at least one source that either identifies the same risk in a similar scenario or that describes the risk you have identified. This citation may be informal – a link to the source is sufficient.
Also reply to any questions I post. Some of these replies may be posted after we have started the next discussion.
As a reminder, you must do your own writing. Use of ChatGPT or other artificial intelligence tools is NOT PERMITTED, beyond the use of the automated word completion and grammar checking that may be available in Microsoft Teams.
Completion Standards
A complete post for this assignment:
