Imagine a NATO ally contacts USA saying that their financial sector is under severe cyber
attack and asks for help. Outline a scenario showing specific steps that correspond to the cyber
operation. Comment on the difference between this and non-applicability of cyber operations on
financial sector in general.
Your homework assignment solution should be a 500-600-word double-spaced document with at
least two references dated within the past 5 years. The document must be submitted as a single
pdf file in Blackboard.
Upon realizing that they are set under severe cyberattack, one must identify the proper
steps to mitigate it, the first step taking place before the attack at all, preparation. In the phase
known as preparation, one must perform a multiplicity of tasks. One must develop policies and
procedures to handle incidents as they’re reported, then define a secure means of communication
in the chance attack occurs. They then must have means of monitoring and gathering
information, as well as understanding the level of threat at hand and what your systems can
handle. Next would be the introduction of baseline security, firewalls and backup storage, as
well as intrusion prevention. The next steps are to contain the attack and mitigate it. Based on all
the information gathered and the how well the prevention systems held the attack at bay, cyber
security experts can now take further steps to mitigate the attack at hand. The brute-force option
would be a full shutdown. After identifying all the machines currently at risk, the team can
disconnect and shut them all down, containing the attack and holding it in place to bide time.
