Containment is the most important role to be played in an incident respond. These are the practice of the strategies which gets followed when there is an attack like Distributed Denial of Service Attacks ("Uf it security," 2011). In our Lockheed Martin company, we prepare ourselves for any circumstances so our employees can act upon the situation. Instead of wasting time in what needs to be done now we prepare ourselves for future attacks. The way containment process needs to be followed is to first determine which part of the system contains malware viruses and detecting this issue would be the first task in incident response strategy. The time when that one system is detected then our company will be isolating that specific system to limit …show more content…
The job of NBA is to enhance the security and to determine any unusual actions in the network which could lead to DDos attack. It monitors everything which are causing any rare traffic flow and mark any rare activities on the network. It has the best potential to monitor any change in bandwidth and to find any dangerous website which may have an impact on the network (Beal). It leverages the time of administrator to take care of issues which are detected. In addition, it is always a good idea to have more bandwidth because it gives the users more time to defend their network even if DDos attack is still going to occur but it extends the …show more content…
Network modification is one of the action to be considered when DDoS attack occurs. In this situation incident response team could switch to different network by using domain name system (DNS). IP address are translated through DNS by their domain name and DNS and DNS responsibility is to allow the user to securely browse into any websites. Also, DNS allows to send and receive emails through any web browsers in any website. Incident team should distribute the attack traffic across the network of data center so it will delay the DDoS attack in spreading into other networks. At last, traffic should be sent to high capacity networks so it can go through scrubbing services. Depending on the circumstances of an attack, we will be enabling Virtual Private Network (VPN) which will provide secure network over the internet. It will be beneficial for the company because communications and messages will be encrypted if they are receiving or sending it to the remote users of the company (Henry, A). By controlling the traffic can slow down DDoS attack if unwanted connections are blocked which are not needed on the servers. These are the steps which our company will take to contain the data of our
The United States launched an operation known as Operation Desert Shield, also known as the Persian Gulf War, in August of 1990 in response to Saddam Hussein’s order to the Iraqi forces to take over Kuwait. President George Herbert Walker Bush made the decision to send American troops to Saudi Arabia to form an international coalition that would eventually turn into an operation known as Operation Desert Storm. The United States Army had not witnessed an event of such international and Homefront importation since the Cold War.
National Missile Defense (NMD) is an extremely complex land-based ballistic missile system with the sole purpose of defending the United States against a ballistic missile attack from a foreign country. The NMD architecture consists of five main components.
Business ventures can benefit from virtual firewalls to protect access and data at lower costs than traditional methods. It is also beneficial to have an experienced security professional who is aware of your security needs. Virtual security involves the use of advanced controls such as a virtual switch to protect against malicious attacks coming from unverified sources. Applications are isolated to make them untouchable by malware, viruses and even applications that may stop execution (Marshall, 2011).
The thought was something that you see in movies and cannot be done. In 1984, the funding for the multibillion-dollar project began. The Soviets could not politically and financially keep up with the United States and were forced to reduce their missiles by the 50%. Also, the idea of the defense system influenced other presidents and gave them the idea of how America could better be protected. This event still impacts the United States today because the idea is still being used for protection against enemy countries missile attacks.
The National Security Strategy considers the enduring US national interests as “the security of the US, its citizens, and US allies and partners; a strong, innovative and growing US economy in an open international economic system that promotes opportunity and prosperity; respect for universal values at home and around the world; an international order advanced by US leadership that promotes peace, security, and opportunity through stronger cooperation to meet global challenges.” The Defense Strategic Guidance, published in 2012, directs that DOD develop smaller, less-cost, creative ways to achieve national security by increasing advisory roles, rotational presence, and exercises. Complimenting both, the Quadrennial Defense Review, published in 2010, set two overarching objectives: rebalance of US forces to meet current and future wars; and refine processes in order to support the US armed forces, buy only weapons that are necessary, and ensure responsible use of money. Finally, the National Military Strategy, published in 2011, explicitly states, “Let us not forget, the Nation remains at war abroad to defend against and defeat threats to our homeland.” In each of these documents, echoes of US lessons learned from the last 13 years of irregular warfare appear. This essay will discuss the current US military approach to the irregular challenges, the irregular challenges that the US most likely will face in the near term, and offer arguments of whether the US government and military focus is on the most important threats with the right mix of capabilities. Current and near-term irregular challenges facing the US military requires creative approaches that maximizes people, resources, and capabilities.
There is an ongoing debate on the effectiveness of the deterrence doctrine. The deterrence doctrine is dated back to its origins in the 18th century, known to be the Age of Enlightenment. During the 1700s to 1800s, the Classical School of Criminology became the focal point as it commenced to force attention on the “cruel” justice system. The two most influential scholars who have elaborated along the idea of deterrence are Cesare Beccaria and Jeremy Bentham. Beccaria, known as the father of classical criminology, believed that people are “being motivated by the pursuit of pleasure and trying to avoid being in pain” (Owen et al., 2012, p. 132). The classical criminology is primarily founded on the notion of liberal volition. That is to say that
When it comes to protecting an infrastructure, careful planning and coordination needs to take place. Protecting an infrastructure takes an important security initiative called Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP). The United States critical infrastructure is protected by the Department of Homeland Security.
...sing disk space to enable high logging levels, and updating virus signature files and other security patches (Keri and Carol, 2010). The company also needs to come up with a well designed and documented recovery plan. Last, the Company needs to educate its staff about security and threats.
“What if free people could live secure in the knowledge that their security didn’t depend upon the threat of instant U.S. retaliation to deter an enemy attack?”
Within the last decade, the internet has proven to be the most efficient way to complete tasks in today’s society. Every major business in today’s society relies on the internet to conduct business. Though the internet is a useful tool, our reliability on it opens up the door for cyber-attacks that can be detrimental to business as a whole. One example of a cyber-attacks that have recently started becoming more prevalent are DDoS attacks. Recently, DDoS attacks have been a rising issue for businesses owners who run their own servers, such as video game companies and other high profile web servers, including banks and other credit card payment gateways.
Information technology relates contingency planning as synchronized strategy that involves tactics, processes and practical measures that ensure the retrieve of data after disturbance, information technology schemes and operation. Contingency planning comprises one or more methods to reinstate disrupted information technology facilities. Information technology (IT) and automated information systems are essential basics in most healthcare processes. The services provided by information technology system operates efficiently without extreme interruption. Contingency planning supports the necessary requirement by creating strategies, processes and practical measures enabling a system recover rapidly and efficiently following a service disaster. Temporary measures comprise the transfer of information technology systems and operations to a different site, the retrieval of Information technology functions using different equipment and the presentation of Information technology functions using physical methods (Moriarty, 2008).
A reliable environment for teams to exchange information in a secure manner may be a necessity for virtual teams; therefore, security can pose another challenge. Different types of projects may require different levels of security. A virtual private network may be necessary to ensure that information is passed securely to the desired recipients. Authentication and encryption techniques can guarantee secure transmission of electronic...
Whoever detects the incident or by an individual who has notified that the incident may have occurred, the details surrounded by the incidents are documented. (For example, help desk or security personnel) To take advantage of the team’s expertise the control of the response should be forwarded to the Computer Security Incident Response Team early in the process. The more steps in the initial response phase performed by the Computer Security Incident Response Team is better.
Data breaches have gone up significantly and hackers are coming up with innovative techniques of breaching the data security network. There are several challenges associated with cybersecurity management as there are a multitude of threats arising from various sources. Cybersecurity threat can have different levels of impact on an organization or a business and varies based on the industry type. According to the Securitas USA survey, manufacturing, healthcare and insurance, finance, information, and utilities saw cybersecurity as the topmost threat for their businesses (Securitas USA,
If you are considering using the Internet for a service that is absolutely time- or mission-critical, you should consider your fallback position in the event that the network is down or damaged. Microsoft has released hotfixes that address certain types of denial-of-service attacks such as SYN Flooding and giant Ping packets. Be sure to regularly watch for new Service Packs, because they offer new security enhancements that you should put on your systems.
