Recommendations for Prevention/Mitigation Many ports do not have cyber response plans contained within broader risk plans (Kramek). All of the ports studied by Kramek had a dedicated security officer and a dedicated IT staff, but the security officers’ focus usually remained on traditional physical security threats, and IT was a separate and distinct department from security (Kramek). Kramek states, "cyber security threats were not part of the security officer’s response portfolio". Most security

Cyber warfare One of the first cyber-attacks was the Morris worm in the year 1988. It had affected the world cyber infrastructure. This worm utilized the weak areas of UNIX system Noun1. This worm has replicated adversely and slowed down the computers in all of the US and made them unusable. Cyber warfare has become a societal issue now. Though the roots of cyber warfare aimed at military areas primarily, it extended its effects to non-military areas too. The information infrastructure based companies

controllers turn out utilize so uranium is not suitable for atomic utilization. These controllers get figured include yet the controllers don't verify the data. These controllers are habitat for the deterministic registering environment otherwise called SCADA (directing control and information procurement). Consistently no less than 6 terra bytes of information are stolen from American organizations, this happens with cutting edge determined dangers. An outside target constantly extricates the data from

Cyberwarfare Defense Report for Western Interconnection Power Grid Pallavi Mule Western Governors University   To: Chief Information Officer, Department of Defense From: Cybersecurity Analyst, Red Cell 637 Defense. Subject: Task 2 Cyber Defense Report A1. Reconnaissance The Initial phase in cyberattack is reconnaissance. In reconnaissance phase, attackers gather information about target’s vulnerabilities which can be exploited further. Reconnaissance are of two types: 1. Active Reconnaissance

On December 2015, an adversary maliciously operated supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems that caused power outages, followed by destructive attacks that disabled SCADA and communications systems to the field (E-ISAC, 2016). This type of malicious attack is the first reported case in the world, where there was a direct attack against systems in a nation’s critical infrastructure

There are certain regulatory agencies that have oversite of the national grid. These agencies ensure the power companies adhere to the rules and regulations set forth in enacted bills as well as employ security best practices to limit the risk of intrusion from cyber-attacks (Li et al., 2012). The federal agencies that have the greatest amount of oversite on the power grid are the Department of Homeland Defense (DHS), The Department of Energy (DOE) and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)

Since the twin towers fell at the Word Trade Center in New York City on that fateful September day in 2001, a great emphasis by government, the media, and the general public has been placed on the phenomenon of terrorism and other forms of ideological extremism and what measures can be taken to mitigate, deter, and disrupt the threat of terrorism. While the days of physical terrorist attacks and actions within the continental United States are by no means behind us, there has been an incredible shift

Davis, M. in his Stuxnet: How It Happened and How Your Enterprise Can Avoid Similar Attacks, indicated that another case example of SCADA systems being attacked was the cyber-attacks conducted in 2009 and 2010 when the worm referred to as Stuxnet was used. This worm was primarily directed at Iran in their nuclear facilities and was mainly for disruption of their processing mechanism in their enriched uranium deposits industry. Piggin, R. in his journal The Reality of Cyber Terrorism 2010, stated

United States’ national infrastructure are resources that are vital to keep commerce operating. Technology have allowed the governments and the private sector to share vital information with them. The nation well-being depend on each of the critical infrastructures, the big question is on how to maintain all of our infrastructure sectors operative without any problem. There a big wave of threats to our nation and if one of this threads go through, it can created a multidimensional problem to the
