Security Incident Report
By now you should have completed the unit lab and saved your screenshots to a Word document for submission with this assignment.
Overview
Imagine that you are employed as a cybersecurity team member at the coffee retailer that you have been working with in previous assignments. You have discovered that on September 2 and 8 of last year, two data center servers located at the corporate headquarters were infected with a Trojan horse, resulting in a potential security breach that exposed the credit card data and personal information of tens of thousands of individual customers.
A detailed log analysis suggests that a server administrator, who violated policy by surfing Web sites while signed in to an administrator account, may have fallen prey to a social engineering e-mail attack and inadvertently installed the malware Trojan horse program. The incident is in clear violation of established Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), and the company may face fines for each security breach.
In this assignment you analyze the risk factors associated with this incident and recommend actions to avoid future incursions.
