Risk Management Framework

 Risk Assessment of Home Depot Malware Attack

Reading: Krebs, B. (2014).Home Depot Hit By Same Malware as Target. （https://krebsonsecurity.com/2014/09/home-depot-hit-by-same-malware-as-target/）

Instructions: For this assignment you need to read the linked article and discuss vulnerabilities, threats, and risks that played a role in these data breaches. You do not have to provide an overly technical answer. There is not much detail available to specifics of data breaches that impacted both Target and Home Depot. Focus on the definitions of risk, threat, and vulnerabilities and look for connections between both breaches. Your answer for each of the following questions should be in approximately 200 words. Include at least three references. Both in-text citations and the bibliography should be in the APA format. 

Case Study Questions:1.As you read through the linked article, first write a brief description of the Home Depot case. 

2.List vulnerabilities, threats, and resulting risks that both Target and Home Depot may have faced.

3.What are the benefits of quantitative risk assessment over qualitative risk assessment? What are the disadvantages of quantitative risk assessment compared with qualitative assessment? Connect your discussion to the Home Depot case.

4.How can identification of risk help Home Depot with organizational decision making? Provide another example(cyberattack incident, e.g.)that effective cyber risk identification helped organizational decision making?

 5.Which of the three (3) risk assessment techniques (quantitative, qualitative, hybrid) could have helped with early identification of data breach risks at affected stores?

1. Implement the level order tree traversal algorithm that we discussed briefly in class (see the slides for lecture 19). Name your function levelorder. Assume that your function expects one argument, a binary tree represented in the nodes and references form described in the “Nodes and References” section of Chapter 6. (That would be section 6.4.2 for those who have the paper version of the textbook.) When your function processes a node (see “process the node” in the “Level order traversal” slide), your function should just print the key for that node. So, for example, if we test your function with the binary tree drawn in the “Level order traversal” slide,

your function should print “ABCDEFGHIJ”. 

You will want to construct some binary trees so that you can test your function. Use the code in the “Nodes and References” section for that purpose. Do not include that code in your “hw4.py” file. We just want your levelorder function and any supporting functions you create.

Consider the following set of requirements for a UNIVERSITY database that is used to keep track of student’s transcripts.

  1. The university keeps track of each student’s name, student number, Social Security number, current address and phone number, permanent address and phone number, birth date, sex, class (freshman, sophomore, …, graduate), major department, minor department (if any), and degree program (B.A., B.S., …, Ph.D.). Some user applications need to refer to the city, state, and ZIP Code of the student’s permanent address and to the students the last name. Both Social Security number and student number have unique values for each student.
  2. Each department is described by a name, department code, office number, office phone number, and college. Both name and code have unique values for each department.
  3. Each course has a course name, description, course number, number of semester hours, level, and offering department. The value of the course number is unique for each course.
  4. Each section has an instructor, semester, year, course, and section number. The section number distinguishes sections of the same course that are taught during the same semester/year; its values are 1, 2, 3, …, up to the number of sections taught during each semester.
  5. A grade report has a student, section, letter grade, and numeric grade (0, 1, 2, 3, or 4).

Create an ER Diagram, listing all cardinality constraints and assumptions.

Click or navigate to Slide 1 and   select the light bulb image. Use the Remove Background feature to remove the   white background from the image. Click or press Mark Areas to Keep and use   the pencil to carefully mark the areas to keep.

 

Set the height of the light bulb   image to 7.2″ Set the Horizontal position to 9.9″ and the Vertical   position to 0.3″.

 

Apply the Float In animation to   the SmartArt graphic on Slide 2. Change the effect options to Float Down and   Level One by One. Set the Start to After Previous. Set the Duration to 0.75   and the Delay to 0.25.

 

Click or navigate to Slide 3.   Select the image of the window. Change the Color Saturation to 100%. Change   the Correction to Sharpen: 25%. 

 

Click or navigate to Slide 4.   Convert the SmartArt to shapes. Ungroup the shapes. Make the following   changes to the images on the slide: Select the four images and change the   height to 2.9″ and the width to 2.9″. Change the shape of the four   images to Flowchart: Document.

 

 

Set the position of the four   images on the slide as follows:
 

  • Insulate (first image on left): Set Vertical position 2” and Horizontal position to 0.3”
  • Appliances (second image from left): Set Vertical position 2” and Horizontal position to 3.57″
  • Thermostat (third image from left): Set Vertical position 2” and Horizontal position to 6.84”
  • Thermostat (fourth image from left): Set Vertical position 2” and Horizontal position to 10.13”

 

Select the four shapes with text   on Slide 4 (the shapes ungrouped from the SmartArt graphic). Increase the   height to 0.9” and the width to 2.9”. Increase the font size to 20. Use the Smart Guides to align the   shapes under their corresponding images aligned on the left and right edges.   Select the four shapes with text again, click or press Align Selected Objects   and then select Align Top.

 

Click or navigate to Slide 5 and   select the 3D model of the house. Apply the Arrive animation. Set the   animation to start With Previous with a Delay of 0.75.

 

Add Turntable as a second   animation to the house 3D model. Set the animation to Start After Previous   with a Delay of 1.00.

 

Click or select the column chart   on Slide 6 and remove the gridlines. Apply the Float In animation. Make the   following changes to the chart animation:
