There are inherent risks in a network when threats are able to exploit the vulnerability. With this in mind, it is important to identify and analyze threats, vulnerabilities, and exploits. You can do so with threat assessments, vulnerability assessments, and exploit assessments. A threat assessment enables you to identify all possible threats, while a vulnerability assessment assists with identifying weaknesses in your network, and exploit assessments attempts to identify vulnerabilities that can actually be exploited.

Part of your responsibilities on the job is to monitor and provide assessment reports for your network. During the company's holiday party, your chief information officer (CIO) brought to your attention that some of the team members are suspecting unusual activities from the command level of the operating systems and you were asked to investigate a possible compromise to the network.

Your network setup is a multi-platform environment running on multiple operating systems on mainframes, mini-frames, and several server computers coupled with desktops, laptops, and smartphones running on Android, Windows, and macOS. Every platform is secured. However, due to the cross-platform settings, a secured network operating systems environment in one platform forced an unsecured loophole in other platforms.

Write between 10 to 15 pages of assessment report with a network diagram and pinpoint the areas of vulnerabilities. Make recommendations on how to further secure the network.
