Vulnerability process and assessment memo

  

Mercury USA is a small- and medium-sized business (SMB) in the transportation sector with 400 employees. 

You’ve just been hired by Mercury USA as the first cyber threat analyst on the team and will work within the existing Information Technology department. Mercury USA has an urgent interest in addressing security vulnerabilities.

Judy “Mac” McNamara, the manager of IT services, said the chief executive officer (CEO) recently learned via a mandatory breach disclosure that a competitor was a victim of ransomware. The firm in question lost a significant amount of intellectual property and customer data and is facing expensive litigation, government fines, and loss of customer confidence. These issues are likely to result in bankruptcy.

Thus, executive management would like to prevent Mercury USA’s critical data (e.g., order data, customer lists, sales leads, Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance for processing credit, proprietary software) from falling into the wrong hands and threatening the survival of the business.
