The university network was a victim of a DDoS attack. Whereby a cyber criminal first acquired administrator access. We suspect that the attacker gained access to the network from an internal computer, most likely from a student PC in one of the labs. The attacker likely used keylogger software to discover administrator credentials.…

One of the most important first steps to risk management and implementing a security strategy is to identify all resources and hosts within the IT infrastructure. Once you identify the workstations and servers, you now must then find the threats and vulnerabilities found on these workstations and servers. Servers that support mission critical applications require security operations and management procedures to ensure C-I-A throughout. Servers that house customer privacy data or intellectual property require additional security controls to ensure the C-I-A of that data. This lab requires the students to identify threats and vulnerabilities found within the Workstation, LAN, and Systems/Applications Domains.…
Defense in Depth provides the university several layers of protection. Starting at the endpoints, host intrusion protection (HIPS), should be installed on each Device. Properly installed, HIPS will not permit the installation of unauthorized programs. This was the root cause of the (D)DoS recently experienced. At the routers access control lists (ACLs) must be put in place to allow only traffic with a legitimate protocol and destination. Between the routers and the endpoint a firewall solution must be put in place. The firewall must be configured to allow only allowed protocols and port numbers to communicate with specific destinations. Between the firewall and endpoint a (D)DoS a detection tool (such as Arbor’s Prevail) must be put in place. This measure not only allows for quick detection of (D)DoS it also permits the automatic mitigation of the…
Network: The network should be designed with security in mind. Its structure must support the company’s policies, relevant laws and regulations, without impairing the organization’s ability to conduct business. The network should be logically and physically separated into distinct and manageable security zones. Traffic between the security zones must be inspected and filtered, to ensure that only authorized network use is permitted, and all access is recorded for future auditing. Multiple devices and methods should be used to ensure security across all parts of the network. In preparing this recommendation, network security design principles have been drawn from the Cisco SAFE Reference Guide [33] and the Council on CyberSecurity’s Critical Security Controls for Effective Cyber Defense Version 5.1 [34].…

I had my hearing; they told me I had a 15,000 dollar bond. The judge asked me if I wanted to be appointed a lawyer or wanted to hire one.

Leukemia is the malignant disorder of white blood cells in which the cells become abnormal and divide without control or order. Hematopoietic stem cells, also known as hemacytoblasts, are found in bone marrow and are the precursor to erythrocytes (red blood cells), leukocytes (white blood cells) and thrombocytes (platelets). Leukemia is caused by the mutation of the bone marrow pluripotent or most primitive hematopoietic stem cells (Caldwell, 2007). The mutations during hematopoiesis causes uncontrolled proliferation of stem cells resulting in overcrowding of bone marrow and decreased production and function of normal hematopoietic cells (Huether, 2012). The leukemic stem cells will then enter the blood stream affecting other organs such as the liver, spleen, lymphnodes, and under certain circumstances the central nervous system. The mutant clone may demonstrate unique morphologic, cytogenic, and immunophenotypic features that can be used to classify the particular type of leukemia (Caldwell, 2007). Leukemia can be fatal if left untreated because of the inhibited ability to produce and provide normal red blood cells, white blood cells, and plates to maintain homeostatic mechanisms.…

Investment techniques used in corporate finance when making decisions on projects usually focuses on cash flows of the firm (Ross, Westerfield, and Jaffe, 2004). Because of drastic changes in the business environment over the last decade, managers are requesting better, more accurate information, and improved techniques to meet company needs for making major decisions with data consisting of clear goals, a planned design, high ethics, revealed limitations, adequate analysis, and justified conclusions (Cooper and Schindler, 2003). In this paper, the methods of net present value and internal rate of return are examined based on real-world capital budgeting decisions. This paper also gives insight on valuation techniques used to determine internal and external investment decision strategies and the risk associated with the investment decisions.…
