Assume you and your group members are the owners of a small consultancy company located in Bruce in the ACT. There are 15 employees working to support you and the external clients. Due to the COVID -19 pandemic, you have decided to allow the staff members to work from their home. They can take the work laptops to home or use their own devices instead.
The staff members are required to use computer/laptop/mobile, smart board, Smart TV, and Multi-Functional Devices (e.g. printer, scanner). Often you organize the staff meeting using zoom or similar meeting tool e.g. MS Teams.
The daily activities of the staff require them to use the computing devices for accessing and storing their files securely in their folders (individual works) and a shared folder (files required for all), as well as all the regular digital activities e.g. reading, writing and sending emails, prepare reports using Office software and several other software applications, (for some, make financial transactions for the clients).
You are required to guide your staff members to follow the cyber safety practices while connecting to the internet from home using either their work or personal devices. To do so, you need to prepare safety instructions so that they are minimizing the risks. Please prepare the guidelines for the staff members which may include but not limited to:
. Identify the risks and vulnerabilities.
Task 2
Small business, families, and individuals are more vulnerable today than ever in the digital space. You are required to research and describe at least 2 recent cyber safety incidents targeting the small business, households, or individuals.
You need to analyze each of these incidents and include your mitigation strategies for those incidents.
