You will play the role of a junior information security analyst working for UNFO. UNFO expects to have over 6,000,000 transactions and online revenue in excess of $50,000,000 in sales for its sporting equipment and apparel. To keep in line with fast market-changing conditions, the organization anticipates a monthly release schedule for the e-commerce Web application. These monthly releases will include fixes to flaws discovered in the software in post-production and enhancements to the core functionality of the software. The manager for e-commerce recognizes a need to have a structured change and configuration management process. However, she doesn't have the background to design such a process and would need to gain an understanding from someone with an IT security background. It is your assignment to create a PowerPoint presentation that will be presented to the manager and her staff at a later date.

 An outline of the best practices configuration management process as it relates to the organization's e-commerce monthly release schedule.
