Prepare a short “talking points” paper in which you answer the question: What best practices should Sifers-Grayson follow when establishing a SOCC?

In your talking points, you should address how your selected best practices support the phases of the incident response process (i.e. Incident Detection, Containment, Eradication, & Recovery) and discuss the role of that a Security Operations Center will play in making sure that incidents are handled and reported in an effective and efficient manner.

Your “talking points” should be 3 to 5 paragraphs long (15 – 25 specific bullet points).

Your audience is a group of Sifers-Grayson executives who are reviewing the plans for establishing an internal SOCC. (Outsourcing the SOCC was considered and that option was rejected.)

Provide in-text citations and references for 3 or more authoritative sources. Put the reference list at the end of your article.

Then

Nofsinger Consulting has recommended that Sifers-Grayson invest in an Enterprise Architecture tool to help it document the assets, processes, and network infrastructure that comprise its information enterprise. Based upon past experience with such recommendations, the Nofsinger team knows that it must be prepared for debate amongst the client’s managers and executives as to the relative merits of such tools.

To help your team prepare for the expected debate, you have been asked to write a 3 to 5 paragraph response to the question “Why does Sifers-Grayson need an Enterprise Architecture tool?”

You should focus on the benefits of having a tool that can help guide the creation of an enterprise architecture.

Provide in-text citations and references for 3 or more authoritative sources. Put the reference list at the end of your posting.

Then

You are approaching the end of your time supporting Sifers-Grayson. Your team leader has asked you to prepare a 2 page research and analysis brief (“briefing paper”) for the company’s executives in which you identify the five most important technologies which the company should adopt in order to improve its security posture.

Provide specific details as to why each technology is required (what is the vulnerability or weakness that the technology will address). Then, make a recommendation for how the company should implement that technology. You must provide specific, actionable information. Your recommendations must also be based upon recognized best practices. Include the following steps in your research and analysis as you select and evaluate technologies, products, and services that will help improve the company’s security posture:

·  

o Identify Candidate Technologies

o Research Products and Services which implement the technologies

o Identify Vendors

o Evaluate Products & Services (use existing market research)

Cite the sources of information used in your research and analysis (document where you obtained your information from). Use a professional citation format and provide a reference list at the end of your briefing paper.

Data Gathering Instrument

Task: Create one (1) instrument that could be used to gather data for your mock dissertation topic. (cyber secuirty)
The instrument should be designed to be exactly how it would be deployed to collect data. Since instrumentation usually goes through several steps of field testing, for purposes of this assignment you can submit a deployment-ready draft of your instrument without field testing it. Be sure the instrument collects data appropriately to measure your research question.  If your study will not use an instrument to collect data because your data is archival and already exists, you will discuss your process for data retrieval.

Your team currently works as a research wing for a standard SOC (Security Operations Center).  The SOC keeps analytics on the current trends within the network.  Your team will be assigned a current issue that has been seen at the border of the network, trying to infiltrate the organizations network/systems.  Upon being assigned your item, it will be your job to go out and search OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) for more information on the attack being observed.  This could be a single port number, a series of attacks that has been identified, or an IP address to research and identify; your professor will assign this.  Your deliverable will be a 5 page APA style research report with your findings.  Discover current attacks being performed through this port, or current state of a known scanning suite.  Find sources, if possible, source code of attacks that are known to exploit this weakness and break down the code.  List known services on the affected ports that are associated and current attacks being performed on these services (list any CVE findings and briefly list and explain).  Look at SNORT rules that watch for these attacks and list that SID.

Finally, to wrap-up your research, present the current risk level associated with this threat.  Use the FAIR methodology to derive your threat assessment.  The attached FAIR PDF will walk you through your analysis.  To complete the FAIR document:

• Step 1:  Asset at Risk will be the organization’s primary e-commerce web server.
• Step 2:  You will provide this answer based on your research.
• Step 3:  You will provide this answer based on your research; however, keep in mind how many times per day this is scanning the network, which will be given to your when you receive your topic.
• Step 4:  You will provide this answer based on your research.
• Step 5:  Assume the e-Commerce server is fully up-to-date and running the following base software:  Red Hat Linux, Apache, MariaDB, Drupal, PHP and is hardened based on base NIST recommendations for operations.
• Step 6-7:  Calculate
• Step 8:  Assume Moderate
• Step 9:  Assume Moderate
• Step 10:  Calculate and create this chart in excel with the appropriate item highlighted.  Include this chart in your paper and presentation.

The paper should be based on ” There is an uptick in port 8080 according to SANS Top 10. Why is that being targeted currently? “
