Using the Internet, browse to www.cert.org, use the search box and search for “CERT 2011 Advisories”. What threat group and threat category does this advisory warn against? Respond with at least half a page answer.

Revised assignment:

Using the Internet and the search engine of your choice, search for "security advisories."  Choose an advisory and create an executive summary to include the following information:

1.  A description of the advisory.

2.  The threat group and threat category this advisory addresses.  (Threat groups and categories are listed in the text book.)

3.  What mechanism is required to remediate this threat?

The executive summary should be written for a broad audience that would include end users through executive managers.

**If you have completed this assignment using the first set of instructions you will be graded accordingly.  It is my intention here to update this homework question to eliminate the outdated resource listing as well as address more current industry needs.
