NIST SP800-82 states, "A single security product or technology cannot adequately protect an ICS." Do you agree or disagree with this statement and why? I personal agree with 100% confidence that there is no one security technology, product, or even security tactic that by itself can be used to protect an industrial control system adequately against all security threats. The reason I say this is three fold. First off, industrial control systems are high target systems for nation state actors and political activist who have and spend large sums of money to create specialized cyber-attacks, malware, and viruses to gain access to and control of industrial control systems. This means that these cyber criminals are continually developing new advanced …show more content…
I work for a power company providing system administration and security for critical industrial control systems used in the distribution and transmission of power and we use way over 10 different security products and technologies to ensure the security of our industrial control system and if there was one technology or product which could successfully protect an industrial control system from all threats every organization with an industrial control system would have heard of it and use it for security. Along with this, throughout his class we have already covered numerous different technologies which for protecting industrial control systems. If there was one technology or product to secure an industrial control system it would be covered in this class, even more so, this class would not even be necessary to have because all you would have to talk about is how to implement and use this one security product or technology to protect your industrial control
Describe the characteristics of the industry in which Intel operates. How is Intel positioned in the industry?
Physical security can be very complex, as the evolution of technology changes on a daily basis. The dual role concept is a dilemma that poses a constant struggle within the agency. The ability to maintain consistency with technological advancements utilizing physical security practices of the past is a significant challenge that FPS faces. Another area of concern is the complexity of security and the deficiency of training. Advancements in technology necessitate training advancements. From the initial understanding of basic alarm theory covering the simplistic concept and design of an intrusion detection system (IDS), to a system that is virtually state of the art in capability and technical
1. What are the lessons useful for their future microprocessor business that you think Intel should have taken away from their experience in the DRAM industry?
According to Randall’s analysis, to launch “Clean Edge” as a mainstream product would require significantly more market support. Mainstream razor unit volumes were expected to capture over three times niche volumes in the first year, and reaching the masses would require an extensive advertising campaign as we can observe on Exhibit 7. In other hand, launching as a “niche” positioning, would be a lot cheaper. Also, the company could use the market penetrance of the brand to help consumers buy the product.
To start off with I chose to go with our banking or financial industry. The banking industry is constantly getting attacked by various methods on a daily basis. I chose this industry because I happen to know someone who works in the security sector at Wells Fargo Bank, he was a good person to get information on what he sees on a daily or weekly basis. This paper is the opinion of myself and with gathered information from various resources.
challenge is to improve the access controls to the SCADA networks. A solution will make it harder for an attacker to
* Discuss three (3) security concerns of corporations in the U.S. Next, analyze the overall manner in which you would use security analysis to identify levels of concern and propose one (1) strategy to mitigate the concerns in question. Provide a rationale to support your response.

In the past, academic and administrative computer systems were isolated, either for security reasons or as a result of limited interconnectivity with other computers. Today, nearly any information that an administrator, teacher, student or parent might is available through a network connection. Course lectures are presented are viewed and students submit their assignments via the internet school class shell. Student and parents can view their grades online, administrative paperwork and other information can be shared through a variety of systems. The internet is an awesome and convenient way to communicate, but it introduces
Hartley Electronics Ltd is a well-established company that has been trading since 1977. It has a good technical, financial and marketing section, but its human resources have been neglected, which has led to some problems within the company.
Security risk analysis is performed periodically and when a change occurs in the practice or the technology.
In the Workstation Domain security controls are one of the biggest challenges. Physical security threats are concerns associated more with attackers who gain physical access to the premises. The attackers can cause physical destruction of equipment or sabotage the equipment. The attacker can sabotage the system if the attacker has sufficient knowledge of the system, such as a former employee, and gains access to the system and then renders the system unusable, or deletes and changes information.
