8-9 A survey of your firm’s IT infastructure has identified a number of security vulnerabilities. Review the data on these vulnerabilities, which can be found in a table in MyMISLab™. Use the table to answer the following questions:

• Calculate the total number of vulnerabilities for each platform. What is the potential impact of the security problems for each computing platform on the organization?

• If you only have one information systems specialist in charge of security, which platforms should you address first in trying to eliminate these vulnerabilities? Second? Third? Last? Why?

• Identify the types of control problems illustrated by these vulnerabilities and explain the measures that should be taken to solve them.

• What does your firm risk by ignoring the security vulnerabilities identified?
