Assignment 2 idea to date

My idea for the second assignment in brief is a report with risk assessment on my learning environment security.

For me this is in two locations, university and at home. It will not solely involve my online security, I hope to cover any risks to the hardware itself as well. An example to include is the risks using portable USB disk drives.

Asthis is new’ish to me the following might be included but will definitely be researched further upon.

My wireless network.
My email accounts.
My website account.
My external hard drive.
My uninsured notebook.
Others on my wireless network – whether wanted or not – risks they pose, disruption to internet speed.
Password security.
Windows updates – why do they always crash my notebook when I update, but my notebook runs well with out them being updated?
Risk from downloading?
Finding a balance, for example wanting some internet add ons but not all add ons, how do I get what I want?

The outline would follow, reporting on the risks, what security I have in place? Is it adequate? How can I get the cover from these risks, what do I need to put in place, the cost, alternatives?

My reason towards this report is that it would be a practical and productive report, as it will be used to allow me to make informative decisions towards my learning environment security.

As its report based I’m not sure how I would present it, as it’s a must for a ten minute presentation, I’m not sure how I can do this, I haven’t presented a report before, well not one that isn’t of poor standard.
The presentation might be more of a problem than I thought before, as I recently had a 10 minute presentation on a subject I know inside out and I because I was especially fatigued I struggled to remember the content and well its was one of the Poor ones, One possibility is to do a presentation prerecorded on video with audio commentry , though I would still attend for questions, feasible?
