Computer Science Homework Help

Part 1: Analyze Threat Prevention and Response Solutions

For this assignment, you must create a presentation that compares different tools and algorithms commonly used in the industry for threat prevention, detection, and control. 

Your presentation must include the following:

title, agenda, and references slides

Table of industry tools that can be implemented to      prevent intrusions or malware attacks.

Advantages and issues related to the full      implementation of the following mathematical models:

access-control matrix model

mandatory-access control model

• discretionary access control model

role-based access control model

• Bell-LaPadula confidentiality model

Biba integrity model

Lipner model

Clark-Wilson model

• Brewer-Nash (Chinese Wall) models

Graham-Denning model

Include speaker notes on each slide to assist with the      delivery of the presentation.

Length: 9-11 slides

• Resources: Minimum of 5 scholarly resources (Ensure to include in-line citations matching your references) using APA 7.

The completed assignment should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA 7 standards.

• Part 2: Propose Strategies and Tools for Cloud Security

Scenario:

• The use of security information event management (SIEM) software detected that a malware attack originated from an international source. As the cybersecurity analyst of NCU-FSB with critical infrastructure and mission-sensitive information, you have determined that the external hackers have the motivation to cause business disruption. The virus penetrated the enterprise’s IT infrastructure, infecting servers, desktops, and laptops; destroying information; and spreading ransomware. The payload of the virus deleted mission-critical files and changed file extensions for all database files.

The attacks have crippled the organization’s ability to make timely business decisions. Further investigation of logs using a security information event management application revealed that there had been significant internal attacks including sniffing, MAC spoofing, WEP/WPA cracking, AP spoofing, and DoS of the company resources due to the weak wireless infrastructure. These attacks have weakened the security posture of the organization.

• Instructions:

For this assignment, you must write an academic paper in which you address the malware attack. Your paper should include the following:

• title and reference pages

Reasons why web-based applications are vulnerable.

• Describe three attacks that can be levied on web      servers and their applications. Support this description with supportive      reference, where you will describe the economic and operational impact of      these attacks, either coming from malware, phishing, whaling, ransomware,      or any other.

Recommend response procedures to be followed to contain      the impact and spread of the malicious code, mitigate further damage and      regain control of the network, applications or services. These      recommendations must include at least two tools recommended as part of the      solutions with their corresponding features to mitigate wireless network      attacks.

• Reasons why wireless networks are more vulnerable to      attacks than wired networks.

Suggest risk responses in terms of:

• Risk avoidance

Risk acceptance

• Risk-sharing/transfer

Risk mitigation through the application of industry      best principles and practices and information security policies

• Monitor the infrastructure for security-related events
