Program Plan Intro
System vulnerability:
- When huge data amounts are been kept in electronic form, it becomes susceptible to many threats.
- The
information systems in many locations are been interconnected through communication networks. - The unauthorized access can occur at many access points in network and is not limited to single location.
- The data flowing over networks could be accessed; valuable information could be stolen while transmission or data could be altered without authorization.
- The denial-of-service attacks are launched by intruders to disrupt website operations.
- Internets are vulnerable than internal networks as it is open to everyone.

If there was no system of checks and balances or mandatory vacation regulations, what security plan might be implemented to reduce malicious attacks?
Select two non-consecutive chapters, other than Chapter 1) that specify a social engineering attack from Kevin Mitnick's book The Art of Deception and discuss why the exploit worked and what the victims should have done differently (risk mitigation or defense strategies) to mitigate the loss. Compare the different exploits used in the two chapters. Why was each exploit chosen for that specific situation? Be sure to list the chapter numbers you are using.
