The current challenge for LoanConnect is how to address the appropriate level of safeguarding required for the personal information gathered and stored by their online application. In order to conduct day to day business, LoanConnect must collect personal information from consumers in order to provide accurate loan options. This information is then stored on their server(s) with different levels of security in place. In order to safeguard this information and protect it against potential threats LoanConnect requires a review and testing against their current security measures. In order to meet the needs required for their cybersecurity testing, LoanConnect has turned to Stuart Budden in the School of Information and Technology at Fanshawe College. Stuart's extensive background in cybersecurity, network architecture, server infrastructure and cloud computing will be the perfect fit for designing a testing protocol and security recommendations for the company. A final technical report will be created from the testing performed by Fanshawe which LoanConnect can utilize as a model and set of best practice(s) for monitoring their systems to prevent and defend against cyber threats.

LoanConnect目前面临的挑战是如何解决其在线应用程序收集和存储的个人信息所需的适当保护级别。为了开展日常业务，LoanConnect必须收集消费者的个人信息，以便提供准确的贷款选择。然后，这些信息存储在他们的服务器上，并具有不同的安全级别。为了保护这些信息，并保护其免受潜在威胁，LoanConnect需要对其当前的安全措施进行审查和测试。为了满足网络安全测试的需求，LoanConnect已经求助于Fanshawe College信息与技术学院的Stuart Budden。Stuart在网络安全、网络架构、服务器基础设施和云计算方面的广泛背景将非常适合为公司设计测试协议和安全建议。最终技术报告将根据Fanshawe执行的测试创建，LoanConnect可以将其用作监控其系统的模型和最佳实践集，以预防和防御网络威胁。
