Its a 209 multiple choice question and 3 free text question.

Scenario

As a security administrator for Always Fresh, you have been instructed to ensure that Windows authentication, networking, and data access are hardened. This will help to provide a high level of security.

The following are issues to be addressed through hardening techniques:

Previous attempts to protect user accounts have resulted in users writing long passwords down and placing them near their workstations. Users should not write down passwords or create passwords that attackers could easily guess, such as words founds in the dictionary.

Every user, regardless of role, must have at least one unique user account. A user who operates in multiple roles may have multiple unique user accounts. Users should use the account for its intended role only.

Anonymous users of the web server applications should only be able to access servers located in the demilitarized zone (DMZ). No anonymous web application users should be able to access any protected resources in the Always Fresh IT infrastructure.

 To protect servers from attack, each server should authenticate connections based on the source computer and user.

Assignment

Create a summary report to management that describes a hardening technique that addresses each issue listed above. Provide rationale for each selection.

Week 9 Forum – Cyber Weapons

For your initial post, discuss all three topics below. 

Zero-Day exploits and Cyber Weapons

1. Analyze the significance of the STUXNET malicious code events in Iran, and the significance of the Dragonfly malicious code currently found in the US and Europe (Do not dwell on describing the effects, instead describe the significance).
2. Analyze the effects of the global market for sale of ZDEs.  Can the proliferation of ZDEs and cyberweapons be controlled or managed by a treaty similar to the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty?   Is it possible to keep a count of cyber weapons the same way we can monitor nations to count their nuclear weapons?  Explain your answer.
3. Describe the characteristics and possible effects on computer equipment and businesses due to a cyberattack using Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) or Microwave Directed Energy.  Compare those characteristics and effects on computers to the traditional effects that are commonly associated with a malicious code cyberattack.  Look up the costs for various commercial EMP devices found for sale on the Internet.

Question: 2-3 pages

Take the assignment from the previous week (week 4), add at least twice as much data to the sets.  Note how this impacted the results from the previous week.  Be sure to have a visualization to show the initial results and the new results.  Be sure to explain why the results are different or similar from last week.

 Week4 assignment:  Review The Power of Good Design and select three of the ten principles noted for good design. Next in R, utilize these three principles in a problem that you will solve. First note the problem to solve, the dataset (where the information was pulled from), and what methods you are going to take to solve the problem.  Ensure the problem is simple enough to complete within a two-page document. For example, I need to purchase a house and want to know what my options are given x amount of dollars and x location based on a sample of data from Zillow within each location.  Ensure there is data visualization in the homework and note how it relates to the three principles selected.  

Question: 3 pages
The COSO framework of internal controls is practiced within companies around the world. The objectives of the COSO framework are closely related to its five components. For this week’s activity, please discuss these five components of the COSO framework. Be sure to include each components’ impact on each of the COSO framework objectives. What do you feel an auditor would most be concerned with during an IT audit? Lastly, discuss suggestions for integrating COSO framework compliance into a company in which you are familiar.

before starting.
2. Define 6 functions for the 6 requirements REQ#1 to REQ#6.
3. Your program should be able to test if there is already an existing file containing some book
information. If there is, use it but do not overwrite it; otherwise, create a new file.
4. Consider using the test data file “assignment4_test_data.txt” to test your program. In Windows you can use the following command lines.

Additionally, find one other source (it does not have to be a peer-reviewed journal article) that substantiates the findings in the article you are reviewing. 

You should use Google Scholar to find these types of articles ( https://scholar.google.com/ ) Once you find the article, you will read it and write a review of it.  This is considered a research article review.

Your paper should meet these requirements: 

• Be approximately three to four pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.
• Follow APA 7 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.
• Support your answers with the readings from the course and at least two scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook. The UC Library is a great place to find resources.
• Be clearly and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing.

Playbooks, sometimes known as Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) or runbooks, are used for troubleshooting common issues. They are often created by a team of employees who are trained to manage security issues. Playbooks often include bulleted lists, step-by-step instructions, or diagrams, all of which make it easy to follow troubleshooting instructions. 

During weeks 2, 3, and 5, you will develop individual playbooks for a fictional company that hired you to write their playbooks and manage the team. The first playbook is a response to malware found at the company. Each week is a separate playbook and needs to have a cover page and references.

Outline a 2- to 3-page playbook in Microsoft Word or Word Compatible to address a category of malware attacks of your choice. 

Complete the following in your playbook: 

• Provide details of the malware category.
• Identify the expected vulnerability and attack vector. 
• Analyze the vulnerability to determine 2 risks of this malware. 
• Outline step-by-step instructions on how to resolve the malware attack. 

Remember, numbered or bulleted steps or guidelines make the document easy for others to follow under potentially stressful situations. Paragraphs can be used to help support the steps and guidelines. 

Cite at least 2 resources to support your assignment.
