Examine the most common risks of mobile devices on the enterprise network, along with the potential cloud migration of critical systems. The CTO of the local bank has informed you, the CISO, of the bank’s intention to modernize its information technology and security. The CTO has asked you and your team to develop a security risk assessment for enacting a bring your own device (BYOD) policy, managing corporate data on employees’ personal devices, and potential migration of internal staff communication and content management systems to AWS. This would be the first phase of modernization.
Your paper should include the following:
Identify the top threats associated with BYOD, mobile device management, and hosting critical databases within AWS.
Discuss the most common vulnerabilities that could be exploited for each area.
Recommend at least one primary mitigation that would reduce the most cyber risk for each area and explain the rationale of your decision.
Recommend best practices for secure architectural design of cloud-based databases containing critical data.
