A. Communication Plan for Implementing Adaptive Wireless Intrusion Prevention System
The SWOT analysis conducted on AEnergy’s current IT infrastructure revealed some threats and opportunities that must be properly addressed in order to prepare the company for the planned expansion into the east coast. One of the threats identified was the vulnerability of the wireless network. The proposed technology initiative determined as the solution to the problem is to implement an adaptive wireless intrusion prevention system. As discovered in the SWOT analysis, adaptive wireless intrusion prevention is a wireless network security approach that can be integrated into wireless network infrastructures to provide wireless-specific network threat detection and mitigation against malicious attacks, security vulnerabilities, and sources of performance disruption.
Communication Objectives
The primary objective of this communication plan is to ensure that both internal and external stakeholders understand the reason behind the decision to pursue the proposed technology initiative described above; how it will be planned for; and when changes will be implemented. This is to keep the stakeholders informed and also enable them to participate in the implementation process as required. The plan will also describe how the initiative will satisfy the needs of each group of stakeholders. Finally, a proper communication medium will be employed to ensure each stakeholder group receives the disseminated information in a timely manner and in an appropriate format.
