Question

While our focus in the course is on threats to information systems, this question focuses on the concept of threats, vulnerabilities, and controls as applied to other kinds of systems. Select two examples of threats to automobiles for which auto manufactures have instituted controls. Describe the vulnerabilities for which the controls were created and assess the effectiveness of these controls giving the justification for your assessment. Your answer does not need to address information security but you need to demonstrate your understanding of the terms: threat, vulnerability, and control.
