Scenario

For this assignment, you will play the role of a junior information security analyst working for

UNFO. UNFO expects to have over $6,000,000$ transactions and online revenue in excess of

$$50,000,000$ in sales for its sporting equipment and apparel. To keep in line with fast market

changing conditions, the organization anticipates a monthly release schedule for the e$-$

commerce Web application. These monthly releases will include fixes to flaws discovered in the

software in post$-$production and enhancements to the core functionality of the software. The

manager for e$-$commerce recognizes a need to have a structured change and configuration

management process. However, she doesn't have the background to design such a process and

would need to gain an understanding from someone with an IT security background. It is your

assignment to create a PowerPoint presentation that will be presented to the manager and her

staff at a later date.
