identify the existing vulnerabilities in these systems prior to the attack

The student will identify the existing vulnerabilities in these systems prior to the attack. Next the student will define counter measures that mitigate these vulnerabilities. There can be and often is more than one counter measure that addresses vulnerability. List recommended mitigation procedures such as strengthening authentication procedures, improved access controls, combatting malicious code, effective firewall configurations, and measures to identify and replace compromised hardware. The paper should, as much as possible, mirror and document these recent attacks as they affected enterprise-wide system security. Students can document and critique how these enterprise(s) responded to the specific attacks and how effective these newly introduced counter measures were. The paper will comply with the American Psychological Association (APA) style. The paper will be written in Microsoft Word and use style sheets for the five levels of heading as described in the APA guidelines. The students will coordinate with each other to ensure that every student has an unique case study. While some interaction between and among the students is allowed and even encouraged, this is an individual assignment and if another person’s ideas are used in this paper the source must be identified and the author of the ideas given credit. Students are responsible to make sure they are using sources accurately and documenting them properly.
