Cyber-Attack Recovery Plan: A Reflective Account

Introduction: - for my research project, I would like to explore about the cyber security measures. Cybersecurity covers the fundamental concepts underlying the construction of secure systems from the hardware to the software to the human computer interface, with the use of cryptography to secure interactions. These concepts are easily augmented with hands-on exercises involving relevant tools and techniques. We have different types of computer related crimes, cybercrimes, computer related offenses, federal approaches defenses. The information resources management has the technical matters for which IT are widely known. Cyber resources and cyber power as well as cyber security. We have spent a lot of time talking about many different high level critical infrastructure protection concepts we have general rule stayed away from cyber security explaining the ins and out of how the NIPP and NRF work together to ensure that we can live our daily live in relative comfort.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is Incharge of shielding our country’s crucial infrastructure from physical and cyber dangers. Of the varied kinds of infrastructure, cyberspace is crucial constituting the information regarding the government and business operations, crisis management and readiness information, and our crucial digital and process control systems. Safeguarding these critical resources and infrastructure is

BLUF: MG Smith’s intent is to host Chris Roberts, a cybersecurity professional, to speak to leaders within the Alabama National Guard, as well as other state and civilian agencies. This presentation will focus on the threats we face in the cyber world today. MG Smith extended an invitation to Mr. Roberts as discussed in the background section of this paper. The date, location and audience are to be determined.

Incident response and planning is very critical to a business. It’s important Greiblock Credit Union (GCU) financial firm maintain control of these incidents in a timely manner which could reduce cost, and risks. When responding to incidents one should always minimize the severity of all security incidents. The analyst should have a clear plan to resolving incidents, while containing the damage and reducing risks (Cichonski et al., 2012). According to Cichonski et all, (2012) most departments have a Computer Security Incident Response team, or designated personnel to handle the variety of incident responses related to Cyber Security. Based on the below, the information can be used in a technique to help an organization to determine the threat against the organization and identify if it’s truly a security breach or serious

These threats should not be taken lightly by the corporations they are real, and the need for companies to protect themselves from cyberspace is pressing. Unfortunately, technology and

In this recent past, the e-services, new technologies, and interconnected networks have become integral part of our daily life. Society, businesses, government and national defense depend entirely on the well-functioning of information technology and information infrastructures, communication, transportation, e-commerce, emergency services and financial services depend on the integrity, availability and confidentiality of information streaming these infrastructures. As our society become more reliable on IT, the availability and protection of these crucial facilities are increasingly becoming the topic of national consideration. The incidents that cause disruption of IT services and crucial

The availability of cheap cyber weapons has made cyber-terrorism a growing threat to the stability of America's critical infrastructures and society in general. Needless to say that cyber terrorism is a major issue for American policymakers and IT professionals. The growing threat to commercial and government entities has prompted organizations to develop effective strategies and methods to protect their resources and assets from the threat of attackers. Such strategies and methods include but are not limited to continual risk and vulnerability assessment, upgrade of software and use of tools such as encryption, firewalls and intrusion detection systems and the implementation of disaster recovery and business continuity plans in the case of a cyber incident. The following paper will offer a few basic definitions to illustrate the concept of cyber terrorism, discuss the physical and human aspects of cyber terrorism, offer assessment of the most pressing threats and the most vulnerable targets, recommend methods to combat national and international cyber terrorism. Finally, several preventative actions will be recommended for implementation. Finally, a basic checklist/template is also provided in order to better illustrate and summarize recommendations and suggestions.

Blue Moon Financial (BMF) is a large financial services firm that has recently started to understand the value of protecting the organizations network resources, largely in response to a recent rash of network intrusions that have victimized other firms within the industry. BMF has allocated additional funds for the acquisition of technical resources and additional training for technicians in order to help mitigate any breaches that may significantly impact the sustainability of the company and services provided to its clients. As the Senior Security Analyst at BMF I am awaken one night by a phone call from a technician who

The Department of homeland security has become the center or the lead agency for cybersecurity for the United States. Cyber security operations within the DHS are focused in the Office of Cybersecurity and Communications (CS&C), which falls under the National Protection and Programs Directorate (NPPD). The five primary divisions within CS&C are “Network Security Development (NSD), Federal Network Resilience, Stakeholder Engagement and Cyber Infrastructure Resilience, The National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC) and The office of Emergency Communication”, (Bullock, 2016, p. 246). The vision of cybersecurity protection falls under two goals. The

Financial services organizations are often targeted with attacks because they often operate with large networks of sensitive information. According to the 2016 Global Economic Crime Survey by PricewaterhouseCoopers, cybercrime is a common type of economic crime as reported by financial service organizations, 46%.The volume and variety of cyber-attacks make security a continual challenge. Since DoS attacks look to interrupt or suspend services of a host connected to the internet, it is vital that financial services organizations are informed on the types of attacks and protection methods available. The purpose of this report is to inform managerial employees in financial services organizations about DoS attacks are, as well as mitigation methods. This white paper will explain what DoS attacks are in general, explain specific types of attacks, and evaluation methods for mitigation services within the context of the financial services

There are several cyber security vulnerabilities that organizations and individuals need to consider to protect the integrity and confidentiality of their computer systems and networks. These vulnerabilities include software and hardware, intranet, enterprise network, wide and local area network, and transmission media. This paper, therefore, focuses on software and hardware vulnerabilities as the most important and the reasons it is the most important. The paper further focuses on the risks associated with these vulnerabilities (software and hardware) and provides the recommendations on ways to manage the risks.

Businesses today must manage growing risks to their mission critical networks from attacks such as

The National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD) expects organizations to evaluate their current and future risks and to inform the board of emerging risks on a timely basis. Consequently, every company’s leadership team should periodically ask themselves some basic questions in order to understand cybersecurity risk as it applies to themselves;

Cyber-attacks have become increasingly sophisticated and varied targeting various high profile multinational companies. The target until now has been financial information and other critical
