**## ComputerScienceThreatAnalysisandMitigationPlan.docx**

**Instructions**

In order to successfully complete this assignment, you will need to select a viable IoT component, thoroughly explore the security risks associated with this device, describe how attackers can exploit vulnerabilities of the component, and develop a mitigation plan. The following are the deliverables for this assignment:

1. Choose an IoT Device: Provide a brief overview of IoT devices and the security threats that are associated with them. Select a specific IoT device for your analysis.

2. Investigate Risks Associated with the Device: Thoroughly analyze the security risks associated with this device.

3. Describe Attack Methods: Describe various attack methods that hackers may use to gain access to the device: including actions they might take, and the consequences of them hacking this device. Be sure to connect the risks you defined earlier: how could these vulnerabilities be exploited?

4. Develop a Mitigation Plan: Based upon the risks and attack methods you analyzed earlier, create a mitigation plan to protect against these threats.

5. Putting it All Together: Your paper should be between 1500 and 2500 words.

You may refer to the course material for supporting evidence, but you must also use
**3-5 external sources**. Please include a mix of both primary and secondary sources, with at least one source from a scholarly peer-reviewed journal. All sources should be cited using APA format.

**Formatting**

Please write your project in APA format and submit it as a Word/Google Doc/PDF file.

**Grading**

Your project will be graded based on the following rubric:

| | | | | | |
| — | — | — | — | — | — |
| **Criteria** | **Excellent (5)** | **Good (4)** | **Needs Improvement (2-3)** | **Unacceptable (1)** | **Total Possible Points** |
| IoT Analysis and Selection of IoT Device (x2) | Valid IoT device chosen, and paper includes in-depth analysis of security threats to IoT devices | Valid IoT device chosen; general analysis of IoT devices and security provided. | Some information provided; IoT device is chosen but analysis is limited | No IoT device chosen, or no analysis provided for the IoT security landscape | 10 |
| Risks Associated with the IoT Device (x5) | In-depth analysis of the risks to the specified IoT device: supporting research used to connect the current case study to support assertions | Explains the risks to the specified IoT device: connects relevant research to the current case study to support assertions | Basic assessment of the risks associated with the device, and cursory connection to research or source material | Does not address the issue, or an incomplete discussion of the risks; does not connect risks to device | 25 |
| Attack methods (x5) | In-depth analysis of the attack methods that could be used against the specified IoT device: connects relevant research to the current case study to support assertions | Explains the attack methods in general terms; connects relevant research to the current case study to support assertions | Basic assessment of the attack methods, and cursory connection to research or source material | Does not address the attack methods; does not connect methods to device | 25 |
| Mitigation Plan (x6) | Strong and well-written plan that is expertly organized and connects the device to the risks and attack methods. | Plan is organized with steps that outline the risks and attack methods. | Basic plan missing examples, risks, or attack methods that were outlined in previous steps. | Clear and concise plan does not exist; no connection to the risks or attack methods provided | 30 |
| Clarity, Structure & Organization (x2) | Main points are very clear and concise. Organization is logical; transitions between points are smooth and enhance clarity and delivery of main ideas. | Addresses the main points in a cohesive structure. Language is understandable, clear, and correct. | Acknowledges the main points, but lacks a cohesive structure. Contains some unclear language and typos. | Disorganized and unclear structure. Language is difficult to understand. Contains grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors. | 10 |
