CST 211 Quinsigamond College Cyber Attack Hits Israeli Companies Research Paper

Research Security incident # 2

Hello all,

As you alll have learned how to detect secuity incident, analyze it and respond to it, I would like to apply your learning to real incidents. I understrand the course is not complete yet so you still have few areas to cover, if you tasked to handle real hack. So here is what I need you to submit as part of assignment. (Hint: Final exam will have similar assignment but that time, you will be asked to respond as if you are the Chief Security Officer (CSO) of the comany. :-))

Please research significant cyber incidents on government agencies or high tech companies or any incident having a huge impact of say millions of dollars. Here is the link for reference but you are most welcome to present any incident which is not listed on this site. https://www.csis.org/programs/strategic-technologies-program/significant-cyber-incidents I will sugest to choose recent incident of last 6 months but it is not a hard requirement. Once you choose the incident, use atleast 3 to 4 resources to learn about the incident. You have to include those references in the paper so keep a good track.

Section 1 – Your paper should describe the incident in enough detail.

Section 2 – (Key section of paper) I need to know your understanding of what happened based on learning of the course so far. What did hacker to do to exploit? What team (at target government/company/party involved in your example) should have done? Your view on how the incident has been handled (or getting handled).

Paper length is not a criteria but quality of content is so feel free to use any format (one line/two line/whichever font) you like. At the same time, if you are writing 20 pages, I know copy-paste might be helping you and you are not taking time to consolidate your thoughts. When there is a security incident, you are required to articulate, what is going on and what are you doing in short memo to your leaders so please pracice that habit as well.
