Unit III Case Study
Water Outage Scenario
For this assignment, students are required to answer questions about the scenario below.
You are the president of a university with an enrollment of 10,000 students. On Tuesday at 8:15 am, facility management has informed you that a major water main break has occurred outside of your main campus building near the site of a newly constructed research building. Law enforcement is also on scene as this situation is suspected to be an eco-terror attack.
Found spray painted on the wall was the following message: “Experiment on yourselves. This is your last warning.” As a result of this water main break, the following situations have developed:
· There is no water on the main campus and in the five large dormitories that house 2,000 students.
· The water main break impacts the HVAC cooling system and the data center for the campus.
· All building services, such as toilets, drinking water, water suppression systems, and dining facilities, are out of water.
· The damage is extensive, and it is going to take 36 hours for the water company to fix the damage.
· Due to the lack of water, the buildings must be closed per the health department’s health codes.
· Security and facilities management personnel will need to stay onsite to perform fire watch for the buildings and to escort the utility workers in and out of the facilities.
· Security will also be assisting law enforcement in their investigation at the crime scene.
· The data center will not be staffed.
· No other students and staff can stay in the facilities.
· The students living in dormitories will require some type of temporary housing.
· The students on meal cards will require meals.
· The university will have to determine makeup policies for missed classes.
Review what you have learned about the purpose of the Planning “P” incident action plan (IAP), and Incident Command System (ICS) forms. Then, based on the scenario above, determine how you would address the following issues by answering the following question:
1. Assess the situation.
a. Would this situation require an activation of the university’s ICS? Why?
b. Would this situation require an IAP? Why?
2. Develop initial strategies.
a. What are the incident priorities?
b. Create three SMART (specific, measureable, achievable, realistic, time-phased) objectives.
3. Assign resources to the SMART objectives.
a. Are there resource restraints that the university may have for this incident?

Part B:
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 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 even.

IMPLEMENTING CYBER SECURITY IN THE ENERGY SECTOR 2
Implementing Cyber security in the Energy Sector
University of the Cumberland’s
Abstract
Cybersecurity is important for any organization that needs to secure the data and recovers the network program from any type of cyberattacks. In the new age
of advanced technology, cybersecurity is important for data protection of different companies. Avoiding the cyber risk in the energy sector is a vital part of the nation
and as well as for the economy. The cybersecurity in the energy sector matters for energy business in the private corporation where the systems are under the
major targets of hostile agencies. The cyberattacks are the dreaded type of assaults for the information and security system of any state. According to many
surveys, cyberattacks are increased in the energy sector than in the last few years. So, there are risks over the important information recorded. This paper includes
the common role of cybersecurity in the energy sectors, best security processes that can protect the important and vital information, the two important principles, its
implementation, the importance of implementing and challenges that a company faced before implementing. The paper also includes the future implications and
literature review that describe the US-based energy sector named EnergyA that needed cybersecurity. As a security consultant, I include the issues and problems that

Your team has been assembled by the White House Cyber National security staff to provide situational awareness about a current network breach and cyber attack against several financial service institutions. Your team consists of four roles, a representative from the financial services sector who has discovered the network breach and the cyber attacks. These attacks include distributed denial of service attacks, DDOS, web defacements, sensitive data exfiltration, and other attack vectors typical of this nation state actor. A representative from law enforcement who has provided additional evidence of network attacks found using network defense tools. A representative from the intelligence agency who has identified the nation state actor from numerous public and government provided threat intelligence reports. This representative will provide threat intelligence on the tools, techniques, and procedures of this nation state actor. A representative from the Department of Homeland Security who will provide the risk, response, and recovery actions taken as a result of this cyber threat. Your team will have to provide education and security awareness to the financial services sector about the threats, vulnerabilities, risks, and risk mitigation and remediation procedures to be implemented to maintain a robust security posture. Finally, your team will take the lessons learned from this cyber incident and share that knowledge with the rest of the cyber threat analysis community. At the end of the response to this cyber incident, your team will provide two deliverables, a situational analysis report, or SAR, to the White House Cyber National security staff and an After Action Report and lesson learned to the cyber threat analyst community.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.
