The Case Background: York RE Pty Ltd (YRE) was established in 1997 as a small engineering business. The company's main office is situated in Brisbane with other branch offices located in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth. YRE saw significant expansion with its investments in the Asia Pacific as it tracked the economic growth in the region. Despite the 2008 global economic downturn and a reduction of its workforce, YRE had continued to grow as a multinational company, albeit less rapidly. However, in the past couple of years, YRE had experienced slower growth because of the intense global competition. YRE had invested heavily in information technology for supporting its domestic business operations and achieving competitive advantages. Major investments were made by the company for its Australian operations in 2006 but the management had lost focus in updating the networks and application infrastructure that supports the business operation in recent years. The servers and workstations throughout its Australian offices are Windows-based. Firewalls and intrusion detection and prevention systems that have been installed by a contractor are in place but they are rarely monitored or upgraded. The Australian IT staff are responsible for configuring and managing the domestic computer and network systems. Earlier this year, the Australian offices experienced a significant slowdown in their network services. There were also reports of spam originating from YRE about the same time. It was identified that some servers had been infected by malware. The IT support team had responded quickly to restore the network services. Fortunately, key databases were not believed to be affected as they were on a different internal network. It was unclear how YRE network was infected in this incident. Last week, YRE's domestic public webserver was again discovered to be compromised.
