Question

From The Instructorplease Identify A Computer System You Have Recentl From the instructor: Please identify a computer system you have recently had experience with (at home, work, etc.); prepare an attached PowerPoint presentation (minimum 8 slides) describing a potential computer security problem related to that system. The target audience is a manager who you are trying to convince to investigate the potential security issues. Suggestions: Begin with a description of the organization and the computer system you have chosen. Where necessary, you may make assumptions about any specifics – please note these as such in your presentation notes. Draw from the assigned readings (and your independent research) to identify what topics should be included. If you feel that slide information is not self-explanatory, add additional details in the presentation notes. Also reply to your classmates: reply to posts of your classmates' posting, providing your thoughts on the security issue that he/she identified. Provide your response as to whether you (as a manager) would approve/disapprove the security project based on the results of the presentation.

Introduction In an increasingly digital world, organizations rely heavily on computer systems to operate efficiently and securely. However, with reliance comes vulnerability, especially when security risks are not properly identified and mitigated. This paper explores a recent experience with a computer system at a small retail business, focusing on identifying potential security problems and presenting a compelling case for a security investigation to management. Description of the Organization and System The organization in question is a local retail store that utilizes a point-of-sale (POS) system integrated with inventory management and customer loyalty data. The system comprises a network-connected POS terminal, a central server hosting the inventory database, and multiple workstations within the store. The POS system is connected to the internet for cloud-based backup and processing. The organization handles sensitive customer data, including payment information and contact details, making security a critical concern. Identified Security Concern: Data Breach Vulnerability One primary security concern is the potential for a data breach through the POS system. Retail POS systems are frequent targets of cyberattacks, especially malware and ransomware, which can compromise sensitive customer data and payment information. Recent trends in retail cyberattacks indicate that inadequate security measures in POS systems often result in significant financial and reputational damage (Federal Trade Commission, 2020). The vulnerability arises from outdated software, lack of multi-factor authentication, and insufficient network segmentation. Underlying Causes of the Security Issue The root causes of this security weakness include outdated POS software that is no longer receiving security patches from the vendor, and the system's connectivity to the internet without adequate firewalls or intrusion detection systems. Additionally, employees often lack proper training in cybers
