Mitigating Risk

Taxonomy of security standards: (1) Asset and data classification (2) Separation of duties (3) Pre-employment hiring practices (4) Risk analysis and management (5) Education, training, and awareness. Provide a total of 15 standards (i.e. 3 standards for each category of the suggested taxonomy) that could be applied to a computer lab environment and improve security.

Explain in no more than 100 words.

Setting up solid security policies and consistently applying them is widely acknowledged to be crucial. In this discussion, we will look at the significance of developing, implementing, and upholding security policies.

Question 4: Study the scenario and complete Question 4 Why Strong, Unique Passwords MatterCybersecurity experts make the recommendation for strong, unique passwords for several reasons - the first being that every day malicious cyber threat actors compromise websites and online accounts, and post lists of usernames, email addresses, and passwords online. This exposes people’s passwords, and worse yet, they are exposed with information that uniquely identifies the user, such as an email address. That means that a malicious actor can look for other accounts associated with that same person, such as work-related, personal social media, or banking accounts. When the malicious actor finds those accounts, they can try logging in with the exposed password and if the password is reused, they can gain access. This is why unique passwords matter.Secondly, when malicious cyber threat actors can’t easily find or a guess the password, they can use a technique called brute forcing. This is a…

Explain how an organization's information security policy must be integrated with policies from at least three other departments, including Human Resources, in a typical-sized corporation. Give clear examples of how one can influence another.

Specific transportation system cyber vulnerabilities are extremely implementation dependent; consequently, a complete vulnerability analysis must be done in the context of the system implementation. However, most implementations share two common functionalities that are susceptible to attack:Group of answer choices Wireless communication and satellite based positioning Maritime and Inter-modal operations Dispatch and control subsystems Passive and Active attacks 2) According to the CIP authors, some of the currently available digital identity methods of verifying transactions in e-banking services are all of the following, except:Group of answer choices Digital document verification Federated ID Mobile Transaction Authentication Numbers (mTAN) Biometric ID 3) The 2021 GSMA report identified all of the following as headline security topics, except for:Group of answer choices Software & Virtualisation Quantum Computing Device & IoT Supply Chain Cloud Security 4) The NDAA gave the…

6. What is it and how are misuse or abuse cases help security engineers design measures to protect a system from specific threats?

Question 1a)Using a the shopping situation, explain briefly what is all about computer security, highlighting on prevention, detection and reaction. b)  Demonstrate with a programme code structure on how to obtain security information about a computer system. c)Assuming you are the security manager of a firm and you are invited to explain key concepts about your operations to management based on; adversary, attack, countermeasure, risk, security policy, system resource, threat and vulnerability. Convince management by establishing the relevance of your role in the firm.

Book title: Cybersecurity Essentials - Charles J. Brooks Chapter 1 - Infrastructure security in the Real world From the information provided in the second scenario, consider the NIST functions detailed in this section and then write what to observe as they relate to each category. 2. Inventory creation sample of cyber assets (software platforms and applications) within the organization (NIST ID.AM-2). 3. Prioritize the organization’s assets based on their criticality or value to the business functions of the organization (NIST ID.BE-3). 4. Identify any assets that produce dependencies or provide critical functions for any of the organization’s critical services (NIST ID.BE-4).Create a risk assessment of asset vulnerabilities identified (NIST ID.RA-1, 3). (Refer to screenshot for reference)

study on risk management using computers. Assets, threats, vulnerabilities, risks, and mitigation should all be identified. List the elements of the system under each heading. Which critical flaws were discovered? How can you lower the risk? own security strategy for the system? Are you going to put this into action? Why or why not?

The majority of individuals agree that creating proper security rules and consistently implementing them are necessary actions to take. Describe the importance of creating, implementing, and maintaining security policies.

Explain why each principle is vital to security and how it permits the development of security mechanisms that can help organizations achieve desired security policies.

Identify 1 Risk problem and apply the steps in Information Security Management to solve it.

The following are some examples of how a security framework may help with security infrastructure design and deployment. The definition and operation of information security governance are ambiguous. Who in the firm should be in charge of long-term planning?

PurposeThis course project is intended to assess your ability to identify, design, and organize information technology (IT) security policies.Learning Objectives and OutcomesSuccessful completion of this project will ensure that you can develop draft IT security policies for an organization and apply learning constructs from the course. By the end of this project, you will be able to do the following:Evaluate compliance laws relevant to the U.S. Department of Defense.Assess policy frameworks appropriate for an organization in a given scenario.Evaluate security controls and standards for the seven domains of a typical IT infrastructure.Develop DoD-compliant policies for an organization’s IT infrastructure.Required Source Information and ToolsWeb References: Links to Web references in this document and related materials are subject to change without prior notice.

Computer-based risk management research. Identify assets, threats, vulnerabilities, risks, and mitigation. List system components under each category. What serious vulnerabilities were found? How can you reduce risk? Your own system security plan? Will you execute? Why/why not?

The majority of individuals concur that creating proper security rules and consistently implementing them are necessary actions to take. An explanation of why creating, implementing, and maintaining security rules is so important.

Computer-based risk management study. Identify assets, threats, vulnerabilities, risks, and mitigation. List system elements under each category. What serious vulnerabilities were found? How can you reduce risk? Your personal system security plan? Will you execute? Why/why not?

The need for appropriate Security Policies and consistent enforcement is well established. Discuss the reasons why it is important that security polices to be developed, implemented, and maintained.

A security policy is a document that provides employees with clear instructions about acceptable use of company confidential information, explains how the company secures data resources and what it expects of the people who work with this information. Most importantly, the policy is designed with enough flexibility to be amended when necessary. You are working in organization X, and you are supposed to develop an issue-specific security policy, you can pick one issue from Table.1 [1] (In the photos) Your Task is: To develop the different sections of your policy and adequate procedure(s), you can refer to SANS Policy Templates [2].
