Your taskCase ScenarioAmelia, CEO and founder of BioGenX, arrives at the New York Hilton for an academic conference. Amelia has been travelling for more than 10 hours from her home town of Dresden in Germany. She is tired but her passion and drive is carrying her along. Amelia can’t contain her excitement. The conference brings together esteemed scientists and researchers in the field of genetic medicine, providing an ideal platform for BioGenX to showcase their ground-breaking discoveries and establish collaborations that will Amelia hopes will propel BioGenX on to the world stage.BioGenX's cutting-edge technology revolves around a revolutionary gene-editing algorithm, their most valuable intellectual property. This algorithm holds immense potential for treating genetic diseases and has garnered significant attention within parts of the industry. Additionally, BioGenX possesses sensitive research data, including genetic sequences and clinical trial results, which contribute to their competitive advantage.Anxious to settle in and review her notifications, Amelia finds a local desk in the hotel's designated conference area. The area is quite busy as the conference organizing team is setting up tables and chairs and delegates are milling around shaking hands and making introductions. She glances towards the main entry of the hotel where a limousine has pulled up. She recognizes one of the men stepping out of the car – it’s Pierre, the CEO of GenoDynamics, a large French firm that has been hitting the headlines with its own genetic engineering discoveries.Amelia realizes she is getting distracted. The cameras snapping away in the background aren’t helping. She opens up her laptop and a window pops up on the screen, prompting her to join the hotel's Wi-Fi network. Despite her better judgment, Amelia succumbs to the convenience and accepts the offer, hoping to limit her time online to do a quick check in case there were urgent messages. Amelia logs in to BioGenX’s VPN. She starts up her internal messaging platfom where an email marked ‘priority’ sits at the top of her queue. The email header says “Latest tweaks to the firm’s gene-editing algorithm”. Amelia opens up her email and begins to review the new algorithm. Just then a sudden wave of nausea strikes her. She knows she is going to throw up any second. Overwhelmed by the discomfort, she instinctively rushes off to the washroom, leaving all her belongings behind in her haste.In the washroom, Amelia focuses on alleviating her discomfort. What was that about? She might have eaten something that didn’t set well with her stomach. She was feeling much better after throwing up. Amelia rushes back to the conference area, heart pounding with worry. To her immense relief, Amelia finds her handbag with her credit cards, identification documents and passports, and her laptop were still sitting on the table where she left it.The first panel discussion has already started. The topic is “Revolutionizing Gene Editing: A Glimpse into the Future”. Amelia is excited to be one of the panellists. A key topic being discussed is the effectiveness of various gene editing techniques. After the panel discussion, one of the panellists, Lisa, approaches Amelia. She is very impressed by Amelia’s arguments in favour of using RNA to target specific DNA sequences. Lisa confessed that she had been thinking of the same approach for some time but hadn’t been able to make it work. Amelia was so excited to get some attention! The two sat in a corner by themselves while Amelia explained how she overcame the key hurdles in getting RNA to make precise DNA modifications.Assignment TasksYour task is to write a risk assessment and control document for BioGenx arising from the above scenario.

Solution
Part 1: Risk Register
- Risk: Unauthorized access to BioGenX's sensitive data and intellectual property (IP) due to Amelia's use of unsecured Wi-Fi network. Probability: High. Confidence: High. Impact: High.
- Risk: Loss or theft of physical assets (laptop, documents) when Amelia leaves them unattended. Probability: Medium. Confidence: Medium. Impact: High.
- Risk: Disclosure of proprietary information during Amelia's conversation with Lisa. Probability: Low. Confidence: Medium. Impact: High.
Part 2: Justification of Risks
The risks were identified based on the potential threats to BioGenX's assets (sensitive data, IP, physical assets) and the actions of Amelia that could lead to these threats materializing. The probability and impact of each risk were estimated based on the likelihood of the threat actor exploiting the vulnerability and the potential damage to BioGenX. The confidence level reflects the certainty of these estimations.
Part 3: Risk Control Strategy
To control the risk of unauthorized access to BioGenX's data and IP, a multi-faceted approach can be adopted. Formal controls could include policies prohibiting the use of unsecured networks for accessing company data. Informal controls could involve regular training and awareness programs to reinforce the importance of cybersecurity. Technological controls could include the use of VPNs, firewalls, and encryption. The effectiveness of these controls depends on their proper implementation and adherence by all employees. The residual risk could be mitigated by having a robust incident response plan. Given Amelia's position, it's crucial to address this issue delicately, possibly through a private meeting emphasizing the importance of cybersecurity.
Part 4: Personal Reflection
The key challenge was identifying the risks and estimating their probability and impact. This required a deep understanding of the scenario and the potential threats to BioGenX. Overcoming this challenge involved careful analysis and logical reasoning. My personal perceptions of the risks and risk management strategies influenced my estimations and choice of controls. I realized the importance of considering all possible threats and the potential damage they could cause to the organization.
