CYBERSECURITY THREAT ANALYSIS

Consider the following scenario:

You're performing a security assessment of a network and discover an externally facing web server using basic HTTP authentication for access to a web application. This means that someone could perform a man in the middle attack against one of your employees while they access the application. By doing so, the attacker can intercept credentials by capturing and reviewing the network traffic from the session. b) Write a description for the CEO of the organization. The goal of your description should be to help the CEO understand the risk the vulnerability represents.
