To complete this assignment, review the Module Six Case Analysis Guidelines and Rubric document attached. IT 380 Module Six Case Study Analysis Guidelines and Rubric
Overview: This case study will help you analyze a cyber security scenario and identify which tenets were violated. Each skill in this paper is an essential part of
the final project and accompanying milestones in this course.
Prompt: Choose either the Home Depot security breach or Target security breach from the articles below. Use the information provided to analyze the cyber
security occurrence, determine which principles were violated, and recommend appropriate policies to prevent recurrence. Review the Module Six resources to
complete this assignment.
After reviewing the details surrounding these two major breaches and the information from Test Out from this module, answer the following questions.
Select either the Home Depot breach or Target breach as your exemplar.
?
?
?
?
Which tenets of cyber security were violated in the breach? How were those attacks executed to bypass network defenses?
What elements of network defense would have helped mitigate or prevent the breach?
What elements of data defense would have helped mitigate or prevent the breach?
What best practices would you recommend going forward to better secure the organizationboth for overall defense and also to provide better
detection?
Based on the Test Out sections from this module and the additional module resource articles that you reviewed, your paper should address the following critical
elements:
?
?
?
Identification of cyber security tenets that were violated and rationale of cause
Analysis of data defense that would have helped mitigate or prevent this breach
Recommendation of best practices to secure organization going forward
