In order to demonstrate your grasp of the second level of threat modeling, select technology and security practices.

For your initial post, select two parameters in the first column of Table 1 in Section IV of the article A Study of Methodologies Used in Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDPS). Then describe a situation in which those two parameters would be the most important evaluation criteria. Your situation should be informed by relevant variables from the following list: Industry (e.g., e-commerce, financial, medical) Security team capabilities and skills Potential threat actor motivation (e.g., theft of data, money, or intellectual property; denial of service; political gain)

Explain the primary principle of effective risk mitigation control selection: ensuring the chosen control directly reduces or eliminates a specific threat or vulnerability. Discuss how controls may function through prevention, recovery, or detection mechanisms. How can a comprehensive understanding of the threat landscape and the characteristics of different vulnerabilities inform the selection of tailored and targeted controls? Provide examples of how specific controls address specific threats.

The majority of individuals concur that creating proper security rules and consistently implementing them are necessary actions to take. An explanation of why creating, implementing, and maintaining security rules is so important.

Distinguish the differences between the threat, vulnerability, and risk assessment processes.

What is cyber attack? Can you give an example scenario so I can understand it more?

In this section, you will prepare a risk mitigation plan using SimpleRisk. Before using SimpleRisk, you will create a paper-based plan. You will need to create three security controls in your risk mitigation plan: one control that reduces the asset value, one that reduces the vulnerability severity, and one that reduces the threat impact. Your security controls should also include examples of both strategic and tactical controls. You can refer to the following table for a clearer picture of the requirements. Security Control Reduces Level (strategic/tactical)   Asset value       Vulnerability severity       Threat Impact     Define three security controls designed to mitigate the risk associated with a recent leak of sensitive information that was stored in cleartext files.   Once you have identified your security controls, use SimpleRisk to create a Risk Mitigation plan. You do not need to perform a management review in this section.
