Intuit Risk Assessment – IT Group Tasks

Research

Researchthe following items to assist in negotiating an appropriate risk assessment for the budget of Intuit, Inc.’s cloud-based applications project:

· Past and present incidents, in order to plan for threats that might come in the future

· Risk trends in the real world (new threats, new viruses, undiscovered flaws and vulnerabilities, etc.) 

· Appropriate tools to gather incident data and reporting tools to protect information assets, such as malware protection, antivirus software, network firewalls, two-factor authentication, etc.

· Requirements that must be done by an independent party, such as a penetration test or audit

· Training for users (need budget and cooperation from other departments)
