Advantages And Disadvantages Of Cybercber

It is not uncommon to find various organizations complaining about security flaws in their information systems. Failing to prevent or mitigate the security flaws may lead to system breakdown, errors, and loss of crucial information. This is why it is important for users of information systems to find the right solutions that can help counter and mitigate security flaws. One common problem with security flaws connected with information systems or networks is that the security flaws occur in multiples. Technological advances have, fortunately, made it possible for people and organizations to prevent and detect such security flaws using security strategies. Layered Security and Defense in Depth are two strategies that can help prevent attacks and protect information systems against security flaws. The two strategies are similar but are based on completely two different concepts. This paper compares and contrasts the Layered Security and Defense in Depth Strategies by explaining how each of the two functions. Additionally, the paper includes an explanation about the advantages and disadvantages of the two strategies.

Security flaws or vulnerabilities have increased and spread rapidly over the past several years. More and more vulnerabilities are being discovered by security experts worldwide. Some of these flaws have proved to be extremely dangerous and lethal as they have caused unmeasurable damages to industries and organizations as well as individual users. Security vulnerability can be identified as a fault or weakness in a product or system that allows an attacker to exploit and manipulate that particular vulnerability and compromise the confidentiality, integrity and availability of that product or system (Definition of a Security Vulnerability ).

Security monitoring is an important factor in keeping any organization network safe as various attacks are on a rise. A company constantly must practice monitory techniques to keep their data safe. " The first step is to scan the internal and external environment and identify information technology risks before they become a problem. The key is to be proactive rather than reactive" (Marilyn Greenstein). Different organization consist of many applications that require a certain level of security measures and risk assessment. To determine the associated risks within an organization each application

Right now, 37% of Internet users in the US are surfing the web with outdated versions of Java (CSIS, 2015). For organizations that have not paid close attention to cybersecurity in the past, now is your wakeup call. According to a recently released study, the average cost of a data breach in the United States has climbed from $5.9 million to a staggering $6.5 million per breach (Ponemon, 2015). This is enough to not only hurt many organizations, but also cause irrevocable damage to their economic standings. The purpose of this paper is to examine what the root cause for most of these breaches are. From a review of the largest breaches in the past 5 years, I have come down to this conclusion: Unpatched software is single handedly costing American organizations billions of dollars every year in expensive and embarrassing security breaches.

In the article “Privacy and Security Toward More Secure Software,” Dorothy Denning mentioned two proposals to diminish the number of flaws found in software security. The first proposal is for the U.S. government to control vulnerability market dilemma. The second is to hold software companies responsible for software faults. The present market forces do not put adequate pressure on software companies to provide security for their products. Denning stated that the National Institute Standards and Technology added 7,937 vulnerabilities to the National Vulnerability Database. Companies employ security researchers whose responsibilities include identification of security flaws in the software for purposes of strengthening software security.

Vulnerability assessment refers to the process of identifying and classifying security loopholes and risks in a computer system, network or communication system. Through this process, vital aspects of data management are analyzed, the effectiveness of the current security software and measures determined and any reparable measures are taken or recommended. Vulnerability assessment is conducted against both internal and external threats and assist in highlighting the security posture of an enterprise/organization.

The purpose of this report is to explain the process of conducting vulnerability assessments and modeling threats. Vulnerability assessments are conducted to keep organizations safe from device and network vulnerabilities. There is a process that should be followed in order to perform a proper vulnerability assessment, if it is followed properly the organization will eliminate most if not all vulnerabilities from their network. Modeling threats is also an important step in creating a safe computing environment. It is a way for organizations to classify threats to their network, applications, and devices. Classifying the threats allows an organization act accordingly when it comes to the threats that are present on their networks. All organizations should adopt some form of vulnerability assessment and threat modeling, this will help protect the organizations reputation as well as its data that resides and travels through the network.

In innovation world, the software is being utilizing expanding and updating and producing for the propelled gimmicks. At the same time of the software has been assembled and has been released with a set of deformities. The deformities originates from execution and the configuration blemishes. The engineers have been for the most part concentrating on discovering execution bugs while about the recognizing defects they are not concentrating on that distinguishing imperfections generally. They are have engage for the most part on usage bugs instead of distinguishing the configuration defects. The IEEE computer security, the main relationship for registering experts had been dispatched a digital security which is activity with the point of growing and raising its continuous association in the field of digital security. In the first venture for the activity was to dispatch the IEEE computer society designs to move happen to the concentrate in security structure discovering bugs to distinguishing basic outline blemishes with the expectation that the product draftsman can gain from other 's misstep.

Abstract – Nowadays, the cybercrimes has been increased rapidly. Several studies mentioned that most of the security vulnerabilities left in the application during the development phase cause threats and cybercrimes. Agile software development methods are based on a set of practices and activities for developing software in less time .These methods are characterized by fast to change according to customer requirements and fast products delivery. Scrum is one of the most common agile development methods that are used in large software companies like HP, Yahoo, Google, etc. Agile methods and consequently Scrum may achieve advantages in time and cost but they may fail in producing a software that has good security properties. The critical disadvantage of Scrum is the low quality of software security function. From a security perspective the reason for such disadvantage is the lack of: (1) security standards, (2) architecture, (3) implementation instructions, and (4) testing framework from the beginning of the project. The paper propose a Scrum security framework focus on testing the security of the Scrum software development projects. Moreover, it will help the scrum team to produce secure software, minimize the risk of threats, and reduce the cost of fixing the software bugs.

Scrum – methodology, implementation of agile software development for managing product development, flexible product development strategy where a development team works as a unit to reach a common goal, and enables teams to self-organize, close collaboration of all team members, as well as daily face-to-face communication among all team

As the technology develops swiftly, new harmonic approach to successful project has appeared. This report aims to briefly introduce the traditional and agile project management methodologies and differentiate these two concepts. The latter one is more flexible in dealing with changes during the project and it is an attitude rather than a process or a method. Moreover, the author illustrates some perspectives about the agile project management in a more detail way, which includes the core value and some critical principles in the agile project management. Besides, this report take the Scrum project as an example. It imposes the risk experience in Scrum implementation. After discussion, it suggests that risk planning and risk identification

CORBA is an object bus, which enables the client to invoke methods on remote objects at the server of the language the objects have been written in, and also their location.

For current policy vulnerability, centers around the upkeep of the company’s software maintenance plan. The attack vector for this vulnerability occurs by using latest technology to attack outdated security settings that provide hackers the chance to access corporate data via a less secure point and lead to the loss or corruption of existing data, or system impacts such as crashes or slow downs. To thwart this attack, best practices focus on the formation of a hierarchical cyber security policy that covers today's threats (Grimes, 2017), and use of the latest technology to attack outdated security settings, and provide a formal guide for cyber security and allow staffs and security specialist to cooperate on best corporate practices. This mitigation plan include the development of the cyber security policy and the policy execution support will require support at the upper management level to tie in with corporate vision.

Software development is one of the highest demands in all over the world. We use software development techniques to solve the problems and to satisfy customers. Agile software development is a conceptual framework for software; it is also a group of software development methods based on iterative development. In 2001, agile software development was created by seventeen people with a desire to find alternative approaches to software development. The most important thing about agile methods are team work, conveying information to the team, face to face conversation, and satisfy the customer. There are various methodologies but I am going to describe the most popular ones.
