In this step, you will prioritize your selected risk responses from the last step based on several factors:
The economic impact to the organization should the assessed risk occur.
The likelihood (probability) of an event that would activate the risk.
The arrangement of assets ranked by priority based on the highest value of the following formula: (economic impact) X (probability) = risk
Risk Formula – Economic Impact times Probability equals Risk
Use the Prioritized Risks and Response Matrix template to submit your findings for feedback.

You identified the potential financial impacts should identified threats become realities in the last step. Here, use your findings to complete the Business Impacts and Probabilities Matrix, listing each identified threat and the risk, the probability, and a potential mitigation to include all policies, processes, and technologies to be used in formulation of financially and logistically sound mitigation strategy.
After you’ve completed this step, you will document and prioritize risk responses.

You’ve reviewed the list of vulnerable assets, and in this step, you will document threats. Recall that a threat is any event, action, or factor that has the potential to cause damage to the enterprise. Threats can come from a variety of sources, including people (a hacker stealing employee passwords) and natural events (a power blackout causing data loss).
Use the Internal and External Threats Template to add all threats and vulnerabilities—internal and external to the enterprise—and tie them to the itemized assets that will be affected. Note that external threats will include a comprehensive review by device type at network access, both direct and indirect, a view of the social media landscape as a threat.

In the opening step, you considered the risk management implementation framework and the risk management technologies you might use. Now, it’s time to list the organization’s vulnerable assets.
In order to conduct effective information risk management, the vulnerabilities of the system must be understood and documented prior to starting the assessment, regardless of which of the risk assessment approaches is used.
Begin by conducting a thorough review of the recently completed Vulnerability and Threat Assessment report. During the review, pay particular attention to which security risks to information systems that might be relevant and consider varying types of risk assessment and analysis.
Using the Vulnerable Assets Template, identify and create a list of assets considered vulnerable. This is a simple list, not prioritized, not valued, simply identified, but complete. Pay particular attention to application software in both the acquisition and implementation phases. This list of vulnerable assets will also be used during the next step.

Evaluate a new ethical issue (Some ideas i made for this assignment that I haven’t used in this class before are: Ethical Implications of Generative AI in Content Creation, Ethical Implications of Facial Recognition Technology in Public Surveillance, or Ethical Implications of Autonomous Vehicles in Public Transportation) Focus your research, so that one or more ethical principles are applied and explained as a result of your research. This process helps you establish a thesis for your research. 2. Topic Selection. Select a digital ethical issue for your research that is caused by the existing or emerging technology. Students must select a new ethical issue (not used for prior assignments) related to an existing or emerging technology and research the topic and its related ethical issues. Be sure to keep in mind that the technology aspects of this assignment are different from those of Paper A (Application of decision-making frameworks to IT-related ethical issues) or Paper B, which dealt with aspects of ethical issues and a subsequent organizational policy. The link below provides some suggested topical ideas you may want to consider. Please remember that the emphasis on this paper is on digital technology and the ethical issue(s) with its use Recommended Source: https://www.scu.edu/ethics/ethics-resources/ethics-articles/ 3. Research Paper Outline a. Title Page – Begin with a topic title that describes what you will research. b. Topic Justification – Briefly explain the reason for your topic selection (100- 150 words recommended). c. Research Questions – Based on your research and the ethical theories discussed in class, determine three ethically critical (important) questions to be addressed by the paper regarding your topic. List your questions in order of priority and for each question: (1) State your question (2) Justification “why” this question is critically important to the papers ethical issue. (3) Research Findings. Using your research, List or summarize your research findings. List any ethical issues or principles, other problems, solutions or research gaps (areas that require further study to address the question if any). d. Research Conclusions – Provide a conclusion for your research that addresses the following. Summarize the papers’ major takeaways and overall conclusions Of all your papers points, select the most important (or relevant) ethical theory that relates to your conclusions List the ethical principles that apply. e. Reference Page. List and cite your references in accordance to APA requirements. Note: Your research of the topic, questions and answers must be based on at least three reference sources. This paper is an academic research paper, therefore, two of these sources must be from the UMGC library database (or an equivalent academic database). These reference sources must have external links. (Note: You are likely to find additional and even better references/sources as you continue your research for this Assignment.) Remember: the emphasis on this paper is on digital technology and the ethical issue(s) with its use! Therefore, please ensure that your research for this assignment addresses the ethical issues of an existing or emerging technology! The title page must include the topic tittle, your name, the UMGC/Name of the Class, and date. b. Excluding the title and reference page, the papers “size” should be a minimum 4-6 page, double-spaced paper and submit it to the Assignments Module as an attached Microsoft Word file. c. Use appropriate APA compliant reference citations for all sources you use. d. In addition to critical thinking and analysis skills, your paper should reflect appropriate grammar and spelling, good organization, and proper business-writing style. Paper C is due at the end of the sixth week of this course

You will perform a research on upgrading a Windows system to Windows 11 noting the requirements for the upgrade AND you will research the upgrading requirements for Apple’s Sonoma operating system. Review the writing example to see how to properly cite your information and set up your reference section. Do not write in first person. So, no I, me, you, we, us, or contractions of these. When using it and they, you must qualify who they or it is within the same sentence. Read through your source articles and put the information into your own words as much as possible as you will be submitting this to Turnitin to check for plagiarism and AI. You should not have more than 10% overall direct quoting. Please cite the websites that you use for your information using the APAv7 format. Lack of references will cause a reduction of 20 points. Lack of in-text citations is a reduction of 4 points. The paper should be about a page long with snapshots of the Window 11 and Sonoma wallpapers within the paragraphs. Click the images to get the short cut menu to select wrap text. Size the images to about an inch or so each.
