Best-of-the-Best is a trading firm, which uses a mainframe computer to support its daily processing needs. Its computer centre, which houses the mainframe, is located at the ground floor of a commercial building. The computer centre is behind large plate-glass windows so that the state-of-the-art technology can be displayed as a measure of the firm’s success and to attract customer and investor attention. The computer centre is equipped with smoke detectors and automatic water sprinklers, and the electricity comes from the commercial building (the whole building is equipped with air-conditioning). An entrance door equipped with a keypad combination lock prevents unauthorized physical access to the computer centre.

Best-of-the-Best has hired several computer operations staff to operate the computer centre. To handle the firm’s current level of business, the operations staff works in a two-shift schedule, 6 days per week. The firm has also hired some systems and programming staff for software development and maintenance. Since the number of systems and programming staff is small and the work demand has increased, systems documentation is prepared only when time is available. Backups occur periodically as time allows. The firm maintains two backup copies of its program and data files, one copy is stored in the computer centre and the other is stored at an off-site location.

2. b )For each threat identified in (a) above, recommend the suitable control(s) to deal with it.

Submission Instructions

• 1. The maximum word limit is 600.

2. All answers can be directly deduced from the above description. Do not answer the questions based on your assumptions that are totally unrelated to the description. For example, the description does not mention whether or not a virus scanner has been implemented by the firm. Accordingly, you cannot make an assumption that a virus scanner has not been implemented and, hence, identify virus attack as a possible threat.
