Describe how identified risks can impact each of the seven domains of an IT infrastructure.

LAB: Identifying Threats and Vulnerabilities in an IT Infrastructure
Overview
Systematically searching for risk across an entire IT system is a daunting task. However, by dividing the IT environment into seven domains and searching for threats and vulnerabilities in each domain, the process becomes more organized. The seven domains of an IT infrastructure are wide area network (WAN), local area network (LAN), system and application, remote access, user, and workstation. Using these seven domains, it is possible to organize responsibilities, roles, and accountabilities for managing and mitigating risk. In the first lab for this course, you will organize and map a set of risks, vulnerabilities, and threats within the seven domains as they pertain to a specific scenario or organizational context. You can use the assessment worksheet included with the lab as a study guide, but you will not submit it with your lab report.
