Explanation of Solution
Evaluation list:
Looking at the issue, the issue which should be evaluated first is “b”. This one seems to be more important, because, it is linked with the e-commerce transactions.
- When the server gets attacked, it creates the serious problem and there is the possibility of stealing the sensitive data.
- Even the attackers may hack the credit card information of the customers which leads to the loss in money.
- There is also possibility of stealing the company’s sensitive information, which makes the organization non-profitable and soon it leads to shut down of the organization.
Issue “a” should be evaluated next...

SCENARIO 1: You have just completed a routine security audit on the company’s information systems, and you found several areas of vulnerability. For example, file permissions have not been updated in some time, no comprehensive password policy exists, and network traffic is not fully encrypted. You noted these areas, among others, in a report to your supervisor. The report included specific recommendations to fix the problems. Your supervisor responded by saying that budgets are tight right now, and she could not approve your requests to resolve these issues. As an IT professional, you are very uncomfortable with the risk level, but you have been unable to sway your supervisor. When you discussed the situation with a colleague, he said, “Why worry about it? If it’s good enough for her, it should be good enough for you.”
What do you think of your colleague’s advice, and why? Is this an ethical question? If you are still is uncomfortable, what are your options?
SCENARIO 2: You work for a…
A telecommunications company has split its security team into two teams. One of them is responsible for attacking the company's infrastructure while the other should do everything they can to stop the attack.

a. Red team
b. White team
c. Gray team
d. Blue team
