Description:
SEC 280 Week 1
Your boss has just heard about some
nefarious computer activities called ping sweeps and port scans. He wants to
know more about them and what their impact might be on the company. Write a
brief description of what they are, and include your assessment of whether the
activities are something to worry about or not. This assignment requires two to
three pages, based upon the APA style of writing.
SEC 280 Week 2
You are the Information Security
Officer at a medium-sized company (1,500 employees). The CIO asks you to
explain why you believe it is important to secure the Windows and Unix/Linux
servers from known shortcomings and vulnerabilities. Explain to your CIO what
you can do to make sure the network infrastructure is more secure.
SEC 280 Week 3
ABC Institute of Research has
sensitive information that needs to be protected from its rivals. The Institute
has collaborated with XYZ Inc. to research genetics. The information must be
kept top secret at any cost. At ABC Institute, the researchers are unsure about
the type of key (asymmetric or symmetric) to use. Please formulate a possible
solution, and describe the advantages and disadvantages of any solution
employed.
SEC 280 Week 4
Computer security is not an issue
for organizations alone. Anyone whose personal computer is connected to a
network or the Internet faces a potential risk of attack. Identify all the
potential security threats on a personal computer. Identify some of the
techniques an attacker might employ to access information on the system.
SEC 280 Week 5
You have just been hired as an
Information Security Engineer for a large, multi-international corporation.
Unfortunately, your company has suffered multiple security breaches that have
threatened customers’ trust in the fact that their confidential data and
financial assets are private and secured. Credit-card information was
compromised by an attack that infiltrated the network through a vulnerable
wireless connection within the organization. The other breach was an inside job
where personal data was stolen because of weak access-control policies within
the organization that allowed an unauthorized individual access to valuable
data. Your job is to develop a risk-management policy that addresses the two
security breaches and how to mitigate these risks.
SEC 280 Week 6
Gem Infosys, a small software
company, has decided to better secure its computer systems after a malware
attack shut down its network operations for 2 full days. The organization uses
a firewall, three file servers, two Web servers, one Windows 2008 Active
Directory server for user access and authentication, ten PCs, and a broadband
connection to the Internet. The management at Gem needs you to formulate an
incident-response policy to reduce network down time if future incidents occur.
Develop an incident-response policy that covers the development of an
incident-response team, disaster-recovery processes, and business-continuity
planning.
