Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This 10 page paper considers what assts may be at risk in an IT system used in a collage cafeteria looking at physical and intangible assets and assessing their value and vulnerability. The second part of the paper then considers how the risk for each identified asset may be minimised. The items considered include preventing or detecting hackers, viruses, physical damage and general unauthorised access. The bibliography cites 11 sources.

Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
used in a cafeteria of a collage or university we can use Gollmanns Notion of risk where the risk is the value of the assets multiplied by the threat and
the vulnerabilities. Risk management is therefore altering the aspects of this equation that can be management, the value of the assets is not likely to be major target, however,
the value to others may be manipulated, however the threats for that exits and the vulnerabilities may be minimised with careful management. The assets will be made up of
physical assets such as the hardware and associated equipment as well as the intangible assets, which include the software and the data which is held. To assess the risks
we first have to assess the assts of the system, looking at what they are and the value that they may represent and then consider the risks or threats that
are posed to these assets. If we look at the physical assets firstly there is the hardware. In any system there will be large bulky fixed hardware as well
as mobile units. These are likely to be in an environment, where even if secured, there is the threat of damage or theft, especially when there is a large amount
of exposure to non employees in the form of students. The risks of theft may be seen as more likely and as such having the highest level of vulnerability
with the smaller units that are easiest to carry out. However, if these have limited functionality the attraction may also be limited, but in areas such as cafeterias where there
are numerous people the risk of theft is always present. In terms of value of the assets there is the physical value of the asset in terms o f replacement
