Cybersecurity

Posted on | by

Cybersecurity is a fast-growing field of IT concerned with reducing the risk of an organization experiencing hacking or a data breach. In an annual survey by Enterprise Strategy Group with IT professionals in organizations across the globe, 45 percent of organizations said that they had a “problematic shortage” of cybersecurity skills in 2016, up from 42 percent in 2015 (Oltsik, 2019). Commercial, governmental, and nongovernmental organizations employ cybersecurity professionals. The fastest increases in demand for cybersecurity workers are in industries managing increasing volumes of consumer data such as finance, health care, and retail. However, the use of the term cybersecurity is more prevalent in government job descriptions.

In your discussion, include the following considerations:

Research the government agencies listed for cybersecurity focus. What is the intent of the agencies and core of their mission? How successful have they been in supporting cybersecurity? Is this intention woven into their mission statement and vision?
Familiarize yourself with the varieties and subtle differences in cybersecurity professions and describe your impressions. Are there new titles? More current? What are the differences and similarities (if any)? What skills, talents, or characteristics are needed to succeed in the professions you are examining?
Review information for cyber analysts and other titles in related areas. Which positions appeal to you? Why? Do you have experience in this field? What did you find interesting? What skills, certifications, or experience are needed to succeed in that position?

When completing the case study you must have a minimum of 3-5 outside sources cited and referenced in the paper. Your references page must be written in APA citation style.
Case Study
You are hired by JLA Enterprise to conduct a Forensic Examination after a network intrusion occurs at their corporate office. Your job is to determine the
source of the network intrusion and provide as much information regarding the attack as possible. Here are some things to consider when explaining what
happened during the network intrusion:
What time did the attack happen?
How did the hacker get into the network?
What computers were compromised?
What computers were accessed?
What data was extracted from the network?
What type of attack was conducted?
How long did the attacker have access to the network?
Is there any persistence on the network for future attacks?
You are asked to conduct a forensics examination of the network and provide a forensic report explaining what happened during the attack and what
corporate data was compromised. The report should cover the above information, as well as create a timeline that shows the attack from the initial stages of
the attack to when the data was extracted from the network.
Your submission should be about 3 to 5 pages

Locate an interesting topic on cybersecurity, policy, threats, behavior, etc.

Here are some pointers that will help critically evaluate some viable topics.

• Is the topic attainable for a first-time dissertation student?
• Is the problem rooted in the literature?
• Is the research empirical, i.e., is there a survey, is there an interview guide, has the data been analyzed via some statistical tool?
• Is there a theoretical model or framework discussed?

Discuss the topic, the problem the model has been used in the research, and any present findings.

Standards are designed to ensure consistency. Without them, no structure would exist.

Go to Basic Search: Strayer University Online Library to locate and integrate at least two quality, academic resources (in addition to your textbook) on the purpose of the ISO/IEC 27000 Suite of Security Standards. You may also use government websites, such as Cybersecurity from the National Institute of Standards and Technology.

Please respond to the following in a post of at least 200 words:

Describe the purpose of the ISO/IEC 27000 Suite of Security Standards.
Justify the value they bring to cybersecurity.

During this semester, we reviewed a number of areas in information security and the threats that companies face, we face, the numerous threats and ways we can help to minimize these attacks.
Getting closer to your dissertation, you will need to choose a topic in your dissertation class, so it is essential to start preparing. This week, let us take a look at some topics to consider, and by the end of the week, we could have several ideas for dissertation topics
Since you have already examined several research articles, another way would be to examine previous dissertations in these areas.

Do not read the entire dissertation, as the abstract and chapter one introduction should give a clear understanding of the research.
