CNT$4524-$ Mobile Security Team Project Description

Only $1$ member of your group will need to submit the final project.

This project is focused on proposing a plan to secure your organization$$s mobile data. This plan should also have the best possible chance to gain approval from those in the organization$$s leadership who have the power to move your program forward.

You can$$leverage experience from a team member that works for a company with a mobile policy or you can create the mobile policy for a$$fictitious$$company$.$ If you make up a company be sure to specify business assumptions. $$

Each team is required to submit a business case and to record a presentation using Powerpoint. The following will outline the material that should be covered in the presentation and the paper.
