System risks and threats are common to information systems, and their prevention is among the top priorities to ensure the effectiveness of the systems. According to Wheelus and Zhu (2020), the three categories of threats are computer viruses, spyware threats, hackers, and predators. Each of these categories presents different risks to information systems. Computer viruses alter the way computers operate without the knowledge or permission of the user. Viruses replicate and execute themselves, ending up doing damage to the computer. Spyware threats monitor the online activities of a computer, capture information, and install programs without the user’s consent. On the other hand, hackers and predators carry out cyber-terrorism by introducing malware and security threats to change, steal or destroy information as a way of victimizing system users. The three categories of system risks and threats are the major ones.

The top threats of a missile defense system for each category and the realization in a real system compromise are as follows. A virus is among the top threats to the defense system given the ability to replicate and execute itself, hence misguiding the system’s users and damaging both software and hardware. Spyware is also a top threat, especially when a missile defense system has a weak security control system and manipulates information, hence misguiding the system. Hackers also remain among the top threats to a defense system as they manipulate and destroy the system by introducing viruses and using them to destroy or misinform the defense system creating great risk potentials. Some of the factors in assessing the system threats are historical information which can predict sources of threat. Actual, inherent, and potential threats are equally significant in system threat assessment (Wheelers & Zhu, 2020). The three categories of system threats have greater potential risks, and users of information systems need to be aware and implement security measures to protect their systems against them.

After receiving your briefing of the threat analysis, the Executive Board has an increased interest in your security program. The CEO has asked for an overview of your plan for implementing the fixes to the problems. You advise that risk management is a continuous process but offer a briefing on the framework and some of the immediate “fixes” that will be implemented in the initial projects.Based on your research for Unit 3:

• Explain the overall RMF process to the board and how it will improve security overtime.
• Select the categorization of the corporate network using the Low-Moderate-High impact levels for confidentiality, integrity, and availability and brief that decision to the board.
• Give some examples of planned fixes to improve security for those areas.
• Explain how this effort will require financial and organizational support.
• Explain how the impact levels selected for categorization will aid in resource allocation.

The requirements for your assignment are:

• 1-2 page APA paper excluding title and reference pages
• Provide at least two references and in-text citations in APA format
• College level writing
