the first steps towards this is to perform an assessment of the potential issues with all areas of the network. A preliminary security assessment will begin the task of identifying a list of vulnerabilities (weaknesses and flaws) that could possibly be exploited by a threat (Develop‚ n.d.). Vulnerability analysis can encompass the following five security control areas: * Technical – hardware‚ software‚ system architecture‚ and modes of communication * Operational – procedures performed

The model cannot be applied operationally without a great deal of data collection and analysis. * Computer

Security Risks of Using External Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) for Essential Business Applications Abstract Cloud Computing is the result of a rapid evolution of computing technologies and a response to the new world business requirements. The adoption of the technology is widely accepted and its future is promising. However the cloud computing phenomena does not come without a risk. There are many issues of concerns that might slow the adoption of the cloud computing; most notably are the security

Calculate the Window of Vulnerability First‚ what is the definition of Window of Vulnerability (WoV)? According to www.techopedia.com‚ an IT dictionary and more for the IT word‚ the definition states that “vulnerability is a cyber-security term that refers to a flaw in a system that can leave it open to attack. Vulnerability may also refer to any type of weakness in a computer system itself‚ in a set of procedures‚ or in anything that leaves information security exposed to a threat.”¹ To calculate

Lab #1 – Assessment Worksheet Perform Reconnaissance and Probing Using Zenmap GUI (Nmap) Overview Hackers typically follow a five-step approach to seek out and destroy targeted hosts. The first step in performing an attack is to plan the attack by identifying the target and learning as much as possible about it. Hackers usually perform an initial reconnaissance and probing scan to identify IP hosts‚ open ports‚ and services enabled on servers and workstations. In this lab‚ you planned an attack
