One of the clients has been exposed to numerous malware threats recently. The client has asked for training for users on three of the malware threats, the risks and exposure from those threats, and security and configuration steps from a network and operating system standpoint that could prevent these threats. Once the three threats are discussed, the users need to better understand how to protect the physical security of their workstations, network equipment, and servers. Lastly, the users need to better understand how to troubleshoot computers that have been exposed to malware threats. What steps should be taken to identify, disable, and remove the malware and prevent future exposure?

Malware/Threat #1
a. Define a specific type of threat.
b. Discuss the risks and exposure associated with the threat.
c. Provide security installation and configuration steps that address network security in different operating systems (e.g., best practices for router configurations for Windows and Linux).
