I’m trying to study for my C Programming course and I need some help to understand this question.
Maggie Mane is the CIO of a multinational corporation that includes business lines as diverse as canned food and custom furniture makers. She provides leadership to the IT staff of this organization, and she was recently the victim of social engineering. Maggie considers herself a shrewd and informed user of technology, so she was surprised to find herself the victim of a phishing attack designed to draw her to a Web site, where malware was loaded onto her mobile device. This experience has raised her level of interest in the threat of social engineering and in her corporation’s level of vulnerability. The organization is made up of a dozen small, locally managed networks that come together to provide integrated data to the corporate network through file sharing and batch transmissions of data. She approaches her network manager who views her concerns as overreaction. He is more interested in having her focus on quality of service resources, which he perceives as more useful to improving his work.
