This week, you will make your PowerPoint presentation with narrated audio, making the case for your vulnerability management process and that the company to purchase the vulnerability management software, Nessus. With the current buzz about the ransomware attack on a rival company, key Mercury USA stakeholders are concerned that this type of attack could lead to a significant loss of revenue for the company as well as damage to the company’s reputation.

They are looking for your guidance and technical expertise to not only come up with a better way to protect their resource but also to make them feel confident that they can calm stockholders’ fears about any ransomware or cyberattacks. You need to provide the stakeholders with a presentation that relays the technical information in a way they can understand so they can make an informed decision about your vulnerability management process and your recommendation to purchase cybersecurity software.

The ransomware attack has made your company realize that cybersecurity cannot be an afterthought. The stakeholders are aware that if they don’t spend money on addressing issues now, a cyber incident might lead to a more costly bill in the future and could even threaten the very existence of the company.
