Security vulnerabilities are system bugs, irregularities, or other issues that provide mechanisms for exploitation and unintended system use.

The larger and more complex a system is, the greater the likelihood that vulnerability exists. Sony, for example, is a well-recognized player in the electronics and music recording industries. Yet in 2011 the company was subjected to various security breaches as a result of system/device vulnerabilities.

In a four- to six-page paper, reply to the following questions regarding the 2011 security breaches experienced by Sony: What types of security breaches did Sony face in 2011?

What were the economic consequences? What were some non-economic consequences? How were the organization's reputation and brand name affected?

What did Sony do to restore customer confidence and address these security issues? Analyze Sony's previous and current security practices and evaluate the company's response to this security breach.

Your paper should be four to six pages in length, organized and well-written in conformity with CSU-Global Guide to Writing & APA. In support of your response, cite and integrate at least two credible outside sources, as well as your textbook, for a total of three or more sources.

The CSU-Global Library is a great place to find these resources. Place these in a reference page formatted in accordance with APA style. This reference page does not count toward the total page requirement.
