Introduction to Information Security

Here is the requested work.

 

The case study shows a company that is growing, and its security posture needs to be updated based on this growth. Based on the recent initial public offering (IPO), the company has new regulatory requirements that it must meet. To meet these requirements, a review of the current security must be conducted. This provides a chance to review the current security mechanisms and analyze the threats that the company could face. In addition, the company needs to expand its current network infrastructure to allow employees to work more efficiently, but in a secure environment. What problems does the company currently face, and how does the expansion pose new threats?

Choose and describe the company that you will use in the scenario. Describe the need for information security, what potential issues and issues risks exist, and what benefits the company can gain from the new project. Describe what new challenges exist with the new project to allow consultants to work on-site. What challenges now apply to the company with respect to the recent IPO?
