Which statement best describes zero trust? a. Zero trust can provide 100% protection against data breaches and ransomware O b. Zero trust is a new security framework that requires you to abandon all of your existing security controls and start from scratch c. Zero trust is not a product that you can buy; it is a set of principles that promotes the elimination of implicit trust in security controls O d. Zero trust can be achieved by deploying a Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solution

The essential characteristics of the a.NET security standards are outlined. You may begin your investigation with credible sites such as the OWASP GitHub page, the Microsoft.NET security website, or any other credible site.

1.       What is the difference between a threat agent and a threat? 2.        What is the difference between vulnerability and exposure? 3.       How is infrastructure protection (assuring the security of utility services) related to information security? 4.       What type of security was dominant in the early years of computing? 5.       What are the three components of the C.I.A. triangle? What are they used for? 6.       If the C.I.A. triangle is incomplete, why is it so commonly used in security? 7.       Describe the critical characteristics of information. How are they used in the study of computer security? 8.        Identify the six components of an information system. Which are most directly affected by the study of computer security? 9.       Why is the top-down approach to information security superior to the bottom-up approach? 10.   Which members of an organization are involved in the security system development life cycle? Who leads the process?

Explain what  Primary CIS Control was violated and why the control is critical A company has deployed a next generation antivirus (NGAV) solution on all of its workstations and servers, and they still got hit with a ransomware attack. It was discovered that the NGAV software did not have all the features and capabilities that more advanced solutions possess. Does this violated control CIS Control #7 Continuous Vulnerability Management?

Explore the concept of zero-trust networking and its potential benefits for security and network performance.

What are use case diagrams used for? Explain a scenario of a computerized email authorization system using a case diagram. Explain every symbol you have used to design the system

Select two non-consecutive chapters, other than Chapter 1) that specify a social engineering attack from Kevin Mitnick's book The Art of Deception and discuss why the exploit worked and what the victims should have done differently (risk mitigation or defense strategies) to mitigate the loss.  Compare the different exploits used in the two chapters.  Why was each exploit chosen for that specific situation? Be sure to list the chapter numbers you are using.

The stakeholders of a software company have four new security requirements that they are considering including in the next release of their flagship product: Two-factor authentication (2FA), Captcha for Bot Detection (CBT), Password Expirations (PEX), and Role-base access control (RBA). Given the time constraints, they may not be able to include all, so they need to prioritize these requirements based on three criteria: Maintainability (MA), Ease of Use (EU), and Integration Support (IS). They have the following pairwise preferences of the criteria: Maintainability is three times as important as Ease of Use Ease of Use is two times as important as Integration Support Maintainability is five times as important as Integration Support Based on the above information, do the following: Make a matrix capturing all pairwise comparisons of importance of criteria.

One of the most basic concepts in the field of Information Security is the CIA Triad or CIA Triangle.  This was mentioned briefly in Chapter 1 of your text.  CIA stands for Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability.  Denial of Service (DoS) attacks challenge the "Availability" of a system or data.  This could be temporary (e.g., a SYN Flood Attack that renders a web server unavailable during the attack) or permanent (e.g., the deletion or destruction of the data).  The latter of these has become increasingly common in the case of "ransomware" which is malware that encrypts all of the data on an infected system and the administrator is notified that if they don't pay a ransom by a certain date that the key to decrypt the data will be permanently deleted.  (NOTE: This is conspicuously absent from the books discussion on malware but is a MAJOR issue right now.)  While the temporary attacks may be less destructive, they are often done against systems that generate a lot of money (such…

Which publication by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) outlines the concepts for zero trust and a roadmap to achieve it, and proposes a zero trust architecture? a. NIST CSF b. NIST 800-53 c. NIST 800-207 d. NIST SP 1900-206
