The Minneapolis based Target Corporation announced in December that criminals forced their way into the company’s computer system. The data breach compromised 40 million credit and debit card accounts of customers who shopped during the holiday season between November 27 and December 15, 2013. The data captured was far broader than originally imagined as hackers gained access to 70 million customer’s personal information including names, home addresses, telephone numbers, and email addresses. Additionally, expiration dates, debit-card PIN numbers, and the embedded code on the magnetic strip of the card were stolen.
Security of the companies data is one of the most important components which allows the business to perform its day to day operation using various networking devices, services that absolutely needs to be protected from intruders. Some of these devices include online transactions, the exchange of data between users and clients both internal and external and external web data needs to be secured. There are several polices that would need to be configured such as a web sever and firewall configurations. However, with these configurations the first and most important task is to identify any vulnerabilities or loopholes in security within the company. The company has both LAN (Local Area Network) and WAN (Wireless Local Area Network) and a web sever. These resources need to be secured at all times from hackers or anyone else by implementing the appropriate security measures.

This paper is being furnished to provide the CIO with a technology evaluation of vulnerability scanning. The information provided will ensure that the CIO has the required information to make the best decision in regards to this technology. This paper provides a brief understanding of vulnerability scanning, its many forms, the types of scanners available, the advantages and disadvantages, and the costs involved.

While specific intelligence of a looming attack would be ideal, when it comes to calculating a vulnerability assessment, we are more likely to be forced to assume risks and weigh those risks amongst many factors. Every student should understand the procedures involved in determining an overall likelihood score of a terrorist attack utilizing the Threat and Vulnerability Assessment. This paper will cover the assets with the highest likelihood scores, as well as those with the lowest scores. Additionally, it will cover the methods in which these scores were obtained and whether I agree with the final outcome, including any biases I may have observed.
Before September 11th, 2001 airports were not as secure as they are today. People were allowed to carry dangerous objects onto planes. Security officers had trouble detecting these objects due to bad training. It now takes more time to go through security and there are more things that need to be checked. Even though airport security has changed in some good ways it has also changed in some bad ways too. A number of these changes would not of had to be made if the education of the security officers and the training was better.
In the first place, many companies are currently on the same shape as International Produce, because they did not have a plan which can deal with confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA) related incidents. Not only, International Produce has no regulatory requirements that would have made incident response planning a priority, but also this company needs to understand that Incident response is not a standalone item, but must rest on a foundation of policies and an ability to properly determine what an incident is and when one has occurred. Furthermore, “The purpose of security incident response is to bring needed resources together in an organized manner to deal with an adverse event known as an “incident” that is related to the safety and or security of the information system. The security incident response process is centered on the preparation, detection and analysis, containment, investigation, eradication, recovery, and post incident activity surrounding such an incident” (Johnson, 2013). Moreover, planning and preparedness must come before the incident, but in the case of International Produce is too late since the increase in networking traffic was not perceived as problematic until it was noticed that the traffic was not coming from Mongolia to Boston but was instead traveling from Boston to Mongolia. Given these points, an incident response consultant should assist to review available resource to solve this incident, organize step to take in order to properly assess the situation, and mitigate all legal arrangements involving theft of intellectual property.
With a rise in security breaches experienced by companies in the last few years, it is no wonder that businesses are implementing stronger security policies. Two topics that deserves to be addressed by businesses are PC protection software and external access to corporate networks. There may be no sure way to prevent attacks on the corporate network but there are steps companies can make to limit such activities. This paper will discuss the possible guidelines that companies may implement to strengthen security policies.
National security in the United States is extremely important and requires extensive risk management measures including strategic, exercise, operational and capability-based planning, research, development, and making resource decisions in order to address real-world events, maintain safety, security and resilience (Department of Homeland Security [DHS], 2011). The national security and threat assessment process consists of identifying the risk and establishing an objective, analyzing the relative risks and environment, exploring alternatives and devising a plan of action for risk management, decision making and continued monitoring and surveillance (DHS, 2011). Identifying risks entails establishing a context to define the risk, considering related risks and varying scenarios, including the unlikely ones, which then leads to the analysis phase; gathering data and utilizing various methodologies and analysis data software systems to survey incidence rates, relative risks, prevalence rates, likelihood and probable outcomes (DHS, 2011). These two key phases lay the foundation to explore alternatives and devise action plans. Threats, vulnerabilities and consequences (TCV) are also a key component of many national security risk management assessments because it directly relates to safety and operation capabilities, but the text stress that it should not be included in the framework of every assessment because it is not always applicable (DHS, 2011).
Penetration testing has been well popularized by the media. Many companies are now offering penetration services to identify vulnerabilities in systems and the surrounding processes. This report will Discuss “Penetration Testing” as a means of strengthening a corporate network’s security. This report is divided into three parts. Introduction will give you a brief and basic overview of Penetration Testing and why we need Penetration Testing, The second part is the technical breakdown explains The strategy, model and type of Penetration Testing. In the conclusion, we will discuss both the value and limitation of Penetration Testing.
Cyberwarfare is becoming a very serious problem. It is equivalent to a “sneak attack” that is so powerful, that in milliseconds, unknowingly, can instantly disable a country 's financial infrastructure, take down Web sites belonging to anyone from the local mom & pop business around the corner to the White House, America’s defense military structures and many others. Because of the challenges for security experts, it makes it near impossible for some of the attacks, big or small, from being detected. Furthermore, the complexity of the perpetrators warfare will make it equally difficult in in not only identifying who they are, but bringing them to justice. Attacks have become much more widespread, technically sophisticated, and even more potentially devastating by the minute. As the advancement of technology continues to progress forward at a rate of speed never going to slow down, so does the threat of cyberwarfare. Both go dangerously hand in hand.
A penetration test is performed on a system in order to find security threats. The pen tester carries out the same tests a hacker would do. The hacker is looking for vulnerabilities in the computer and network in order to exploit them and gain access. The pen tester performs the same task but wants to find and fix any security threats without harming or compromising the system. The pen tester has permission to perform vulnerability checkes wheras the hacker does not. (Add more).
