It is your first day at the job in the information security department, and you are called for a meeting. In the meeting the need for strengthening the information security for the college is discussed, and everyone agrees that the first step in this direction would be to identify the top three threats that are a potential risk to Aim Higher College. Requirment:

You have been given the responsibility to determine the top three threats that Aim Higher College faces. You asked your supervisor for support in this task and he gave you the following resources that might be useful in your research and analysis:
An article on the Help Net security Web site (http://www. net-security. org/secworld. php?id=16033)
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposure (CVE) database search (http://cve. mitre. org/index. html)
Security organizations, such as Secunia (http://secunia. com/)

Your supervisor has also asked you to consider the following questions as you shortlist the threats:

1. What threats are new this year, and which have become more prevalent?
2. Why are these threats more common and why are they important?
3. What threats remain constant from year to year? Why?
4. What threats do you believe will become more critical in the next 12 months? Why?
5. Would the list change for a government organization or a private company? Why?
6. Has an exploit been released?
7. What is the likelihood of an exploit?
8. How widely used is the software or system?
9. What information is required for a technical audience?
10. What information is required for a non-technical audience?

With these considerations in mind, write a summary of the top three threats to Aim Higher College. Briefly explain why you have selected them and what effect they might have on the institution or its students, employees, graduates, or other populations.
