\nPrior to developing an information security plan, it is important to understand and evaluate potential security risks before formulating prevention strategies. For this assignment, you will continue the planning process by adding the Risk Assessment section to the Information Security Assurance Implementation Plan. You will analyze and perform a risk assessment of the organization?s information systems. You will also discuss the importance of security in the design of information systems.
\nThe project deliverables for Week 2 are as follows:

NETWORK SECURITY-CS653: WK2- Analysis of the Network
\nWhen it comes to IT security, you must do more than follow the examples of other companies, regardless of how successful they are. No two organizations will encounter the same problem. The best approach to providing the best level of security is to conduct a risk assessment of your organization,
\nidentify what your assets are, what your threats are, and what the probability of the threats occurring may be. This analysis will allow you to create the network defense plan that is uniquely tailored to your organization and situation.
\nFor this assignment, you will write the Risk Assessment section of 5?6 pages, and add it to the Network Security Plan document. Appropriate research should be conducted to support the development of your document, and assumptions may be made when necessary.
\nAssignment Details:
\nUpdate previous sections of your document based on feedback. (Will email separately)
\nUpdate the Table of Contents.
\nUpdate the date on the cover page.

\nPrioritize each asset or group of assets, and assign a value to each.
\nCreate a subsection that will identify and describe the risks within the environment.
\nDo not forget natural disasters.
\nInclude the likelihood that the risk could occur.
\nProvide a list of the tools and methodology that you used to conduct the risk assessment.
