Assignment 4: Complete Case Project 10-6 on page 466 of the Ciampa text
The Carlyle-Stedman Museum provides patrons with mobile devices that contain prerecorded information that can be listened to while viewing the museum's artifacts. Recently an incident occurred in which a patron circumvented the security on the device and, because it was not examined after it was turned in, the next patron who tried to use it was exposed to inappropriate content. The executive board of Carlyle-Stedman decided that something must be done to prevent this from reoccurring, and wants to ensure that all employee mobile devices are also secure. They have asked LPSC to make a presentation about mobile device security, and you have been given this assignment.
1. Create a PowerPoint presentation for the staff about the security risks of mobile technology and steps to be taken to secure mobile devices. Be sure to cover these from the perspective of the organization, the IT department, and the end user. Your presentation should contain at least 8 slides.
2. After the presentation, the IT director at Peabody has asked LPCS for recommendations on using MDM, MAM, and MCM for the museum. Write a one- page memo listing the features of these tools and how they could be used to help Peabody.
