The goal of this project is to conduct a comprehensive cybersecurity audit of the Winsport Gym App, identifying vulnerabilities and providing a clear plan to address these weaknesses. Learners will focus on reviewing the app’s security measures, assessing risks, and recommending improvements to ensure data protection and secure user interactions.

Deliverables:

1. Vulnerability Assessment Report: Detailing identified vulnerabilities, their severity, and recommended fixes.
2. Security Improvement Plan: Proposals for security enhancements, including patch management, secure API usage, and encryption strategies.
3. Presentation: Summarizing the assessment findings and security plan, highlighting the benefits of the proposed improvements.

1. Cybersecurity Auditing and Vulnerability Assessment:

• Focus on reviewing the current state of the Winsport Gym App's security and performing a detailed vulnerability assessment.
• Deliverables could include a comprehensive Vulnerability Assessment Report and recommendations for improving app security based on the audit.
• This approach keeps the scope tight around identifying weaknesses and securing app infrastructure.

1. Encryption and Secure Data Handling:

• Narrow down the focus to improving data protection by implementing encryption mechanisms for user data and secure data transmission protocols.
• Deliverables would include a Security Architecture Overview, detailing how encryption is implemented and how it enhances data privacy and security.
• This keeps the focus on a specific cybersecurity skill—data protection—making the project more manageable for learners.

1. Incident Response Planning:

• Concentrate on developing an Incident Response Plan, setting up procedures for detecting, mitigating, and recovering from potential security breaches.
• This can involve creating detailed documentation on security protocols, testing them through simulations, and preparing a response for various types of cyber incidents.
• This is particularly useful for learners focusing on incident response and cybersecurity operations.

Key Considerations:

• Skill Set Alignment: By focusing on one area of cybersecurity, you can align the project with a specific skill set, ensuring learners can effectively apply their classroom knowledge.
• Manageable Scope: A narrowed focus allows the project to be completed within the available time frame, ensuring learners are not overwhelmed by too many diverse tasks.
• Concrete Deliverables: Learners can focus on producing one key deliverable (e.g., a security report, encryption implementation, or response plan), which will be easier to track and evaluate.
