For this assignment you will take on the role of a newly hired IT Director of a company that has been a victim of multiple cyber attacks in the last few months. You need to create new security plans, policies, and procedures to eliminate these attacks. These elements will serve as the basis of a manual to follow, filled with best and latest IT practices. Part of this documentation will be sections on best maintenance practices for your network, including the tools to deploy to defend against outside threats, and what to do in the event a network is faulty or down due to a malfunction or an outside breach.

Research a minimum of two professional sources on this topic. (Access the MISM Credible Resource Guide for assistance with finding appropriate credible professional resources.)

For this assignment, evaluate the telecommunication and network processes currently in place and explain how the company plans to protect its network and assets from both internal and external threats using best practices  moving forward. Apply technical knowledge to the security issues and explain the tools that will be deployed to reach the new level of security. Create an outline of the procedures that will guide the organization in the event of a security breach, and then provide an explanation of each element in the procedure. Explain the troubleshooting tactics that will be employed when the network is down. Support your statements with evidence from at least two additional professional sources in addition to the required resources.
