WEEK 3 ESSAY QUESTIONS
Instructions: Answer all questions in a single document. Then submit to the
appropriate assignment folder. Each response to a single essay question should
be about a half-page in length (about 150 words).
1. Cryptographic algorithms provide the underlying tools to most security
protocols used in todayโs infrastructures. The choice of which type of
algorithm depends on the goal that you are trying to accomplish, such as
encryption or data integrity. These algorithms fall into two main categories:
symmetric key and asymmetric key cryptography. In this essay, please
discuss the strengths and weaknesses of symmetric key cryptography and
give an example of where this type of cryptography is used. Then discuss
the strengths and weaknesses of asymmetric key cryptography and give an
example of where this type of cryptography is used.
2. Cryptography has been used in one form or another for over 4000 years
and attacks on cryptography have been occurring since its inception. The
type of people attempting to break the code could be malicious in their
intent or could just be trying to identify weaknesses in the security so that
improvements can be made. In your essay response, define cryptanalysis
and describe some of the common cryptanalytic techniques used in attacks.
3. Many people overlook the importance of physical security when addressing
security concerns of the organization. Complex cryptography methods,
stringent access control lists, and vigilant intrusion detection/prevention
software will be rendered useless if an attacker gains physical access to
your data center. Site and facility security planning is equally important to
the technical controls that you implement when minimizing the access a
criminal will have to your assets. In your essay response, define CPTED and
describe how following the CPTED discipline can provide a more aesthetic
alternative to classic target hardening approaches. Make sure that the
three CPTED strategies are covered in your response.

Research Paper:
The purpose of the Research Project is to develop an in-depth understanding the of intrusion detection and/or prevention technology and the way in which such technology is used to protect specific computing environments against specific threats. Your project may choose to follow either one of two analytical approaches:
1. Analysis of a tool or technique including functional applicability and limitations
2. Analysis of environmental security requirements and technologies to meet those requirements
3. The research paper should follow the APA guidelines. It should be 1500 words long excluding cover, title page, and table of contents, end-notes, and bibliography. Please submit as Ms word or compatible file.ย
Tool-centric Research: Projects of the first type will focus on a specific tool, technique, or method used in intrusion detection or intrusion prevention. Choosing a topic for this type of project will mean selecting the tool you want to research and analyze and developing a research question or thesis statement that your research is intended to answer. The analysis for a tool-centric research project should emphasize the use and application of the tool, technique, or method rather than a simple explanation of its features. If you choose a product or tool with a broad set of capabilities, you may choose to provide an analysis of one or more aspects of the tool. The paper distils fundamental issues, focuses on one available solution, and provides a detailed analysis of both the functional applicability and the limitations of the available solution. In other words, you should explain in your paper the functional purposes and security goals the chosen tool is well-suited to address, and also things for which it is not a good choice. You are welcome to choose any IDS tool, including network-based, host-based, or wireless products.
Environment-centric Research: The second type of project also looks at intrusion detection and prevention technologies, but adopts an organizational perspective by first defining and analyzing an operating environment, and then identifying and recommending appropriate IDS/IPS technologies. Choosing a topic for this type of project will mean describing a specific computing environment and any operational needs for safeguarding that environment. The analysis for an environment-centric research project should emphasize the threats faced by the organization and assess IDS/IPS technologies in the context of providing protection from those threats. This type of research project mimics the process many real-world organizations go through when selecting
IDS/IPS tools (or other types of technologies), in which organizations first specify requirements and then evaluate alternatives to see what technologies best meet their requirements. You may
choose to focus on a specific organization (like a company or agency) or a class of organization (e.g., based on relative size, industry, business model, etc.). It is import ...
Threat Modelling and managed risks for medical devices
In the development of cybersecurity strategy that follows FDA and MDCG recommendations for the commercialization of medical imaging software devices, threat modeling helps customers to manage better risks.
NSAS: NETWORK SECURITY AWARENESS SYSTEM
The overwhelming threat may be a challenge to
general security system. Fundamentally diverse alert and threat
techniques are been researched in order to reduce deceptive
warnings. Threat Detection Systems generates huge amount of
alerts which becomes challenging to deal with them and prepare
solution. The detection System checks inbound and outbound
network activities and finds an suspicious pattern that indicate
an ongoing steps for attack. Large amount of alert may contain
false alarm therefore need of alert analysis mechanisms to offer
high level information of seriousness of threat, how dangerous
device are and which device admin has to pay more attention. To
solve this query we would make use of time and space based alert
analysis technique that provides a solution in form of attack
graph and its evaluation that provides severity of attack to
administrator.

Microsoft Advanced Threat Analytics (ATA) is a behavioral analytics platform that detects advanced security threats and insider threats in enterprise networks. It analyzes Active Directory network traffic and events using machine learning to establish normal user behavior and detect anomalies. When installed, ATA automatically starts learning and profiling entities. It identifies normal behavior and looks for abnormal activities that could indicate security risks or attacks based on tactics used by attackers. Any suspicious activities are presented on a timeline with details on who was involved, what happened, when, and how to investigate and respond. ATA helps enterprises detect threats that evade other security tools and prioritize responses.

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 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 enterpriseโs 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 organizationโs 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 ย ย ย ย ย security policies
Monitor the infrastructure for security-related even.

Cyber Attack Detection and protection using machine learning algorithm
Cyber attack detection and protection using machine learning algorithms is a rapidly evolving field within cybersecurity. Machine learning techniques offer the ability to analyze large volumes of data in real-time and identify patterns indicative of malicious activity. Here's a general overview of how machine learning can be applied to cyber attack detection and protection:
Data Collection: The first step is to gather relevant data from various sources such as network traffic logs, system logs, firewall logs, and other security devices. This data will serve as the input for the machine learning models.
Feature Engineering: Feature engineering involves selecting and transforming the raw data into a format suitable for machine learning algorithms. This may include extracting features such as IP addresses, timestamps, packet sizes, protocol types, etc., from the raw data.
Model Training: Once the data is prepared, machine learning models can be trained using supervised, unsupervised, or semi-supervised learning techniques.
Supervised Learning: In supervised learning, the model is trained on labeled data, where each data point is associated with a specific class (e.g., normal or malicious). Common supervised learning algorithms for cyber attack detection include Support Vector Machines (SVM), Random Forests, and Neural Networks.
Unsupervised Learning: Unsupervised learning techniques are used when labeled data is scarce or unavailable. These algorithms can detect patterns and anomalies in the data without prior knowledge of specific attack types. Clustering algorithms like K-means or density-based algorithms like DBSCAN are often used in this context.
Evasion Attack Detection using Adaboost Learning Classifier
This document discusses using the AdaBoost learning classifier to detect evasion attacks. AdaBoost is an algorithm that combines many weak classifiers into a strong classifier. In this project, AdaBoost will be used to detect evasion attacks. Evasion attacks are attacks where the attacker is aware of the intrusion detection system and tries to avoid detection by manipulating data at test time. The document also discusses how feature selection, while useful for reducing complexity, could potentially weaken a classifier's security against evasion attacks if an adversary-aware approach is not used. It proposes using an adversary-aware feature selection model to strengthen classifier security against evasion attacks.

Cyber Attack Detection and protection using machine learning algorithm
Cyber attack detection and protection using machine learning algorithms is a rapidly evolving field within cybersecurity. Machine learning techniques offer the ability to analyze large volumes of data in real-time and identify patterns indicative of malicious activity. Here's a general overview of how machine learning can be applied to cyber attack detection and protection:
Data Collection: The first step is to gather relevant data from various sources such as network traffic logs, system logs, firewall logs, and other security devices. This data will serve as the input for the machine learning models.
Feature Engineering: Feature engineering involves selecting and transforming the raw data into a format suitable for machine learning algorithms. This may include extracting features such as IP addresses, timestamps, packet sizes, protocol types, etc., from the raw data.
Model Training: Once the data is prepared, machine learning models can be trained using supervised, unsupervised, or semi-supervised learning techniques.
Supervised Learning: In supervised learning, the model is trained on labeled data, where each data point is associated with a specific class (e.g., normal or malicious). Common supervised learning algorithms for cyber attack detection include Support Vector Machines (SVM), Random Forests, and Neural Networks.
Unsupervised Learning: Unsupervised learning techniques are used when labeled data is scarce or unavailable. These algorithms can detect patterns and anomalies in the data without prior knowledge of specific attack types. Clustering algorithms like K-means or density-based algorithms like DBSCAN are often used in this context.
