Mitigate Potential Terrorist Attacks Against Buildings Response

reply to discussion belowBrittni,The Reference Manual to Mitigate Potential Terrorist Attacks Against Buildings is part of the BIPS and serves as a guide to reduce physical damage to components of buildings and related infrastructure and to reduce the number of casualties related to building-focused attacks. The manual focuses on the eight designated sectors from the NIPP by the DHS, including: Banking and Finance, Commercial Facilities, Communications, Critical Manufacturing, Government Facilities, Healthcare and Public Health, Information Technology, and Postal and Shipping. The measures applicable from this manual are for large occupancy buildings. Furthermore, the updated FEMA 426 outlines NIPP-defined activities that speak to corporate leaders and owners of buildings. They are the main audience of this manual, as they are majorly in control of the security going on within their buildings. And not just within their buildings, but the structure of the buildings as well. The manual helps the private sector industry develop and prioritize key missions that will enable their asset protection or restoration. The NIPP provides a unifying structure for the protect efforts of CIKR into a single national program.Something that the manual also supports is the concept of resilience and continuity of events after an event has occurred. It basically talks about how well a company can recover and withstand an attack. Resiliency is very important, but can be hard to achieve depending on the type of terrorist attack. It is important to estimate what risks there are to the infrastructure, but this provides challenges in itself, as it really is difficult to predict when or when a terrorist may strike. It is common that high-occupancy buildings are larger targets, so it is imperative that security is a priority when dealing with these buildings.I recently watched the movie Skyscraper with the Rock as its starring actor, and the concept of risk management and protecting infrastructure was a dominant theme in this movie. The building portrayed had next-gen level protections against fire and many other hazards. It also had fail safes in case something did not work according to the first plan. In the movie, this building’s security cost an outrageous amount of money, but in reality, isn’t supreme security worth the money?It seems that a lot of companies, and people in general, ignore the risks. And perhaps it’s not that they ignore the risks, but that they aren’t as aware as they should be, or they simply don’t believe something terrible would happen to them or their company. People think it will never happen to them, until it does. Security measures against terrorism attacks against high-occupancy buildings need to be implemented at every building or company, for the safety of all those who work there.

Preventing Social Engineering and Identity Theft Response

reply to discussion belowDaquan,What, according to you, are the necessary countermeasures for preventing social engineering and identity theft?Social engineering pertains to methods and acts done to gain access to unauthorized areas, networks, systems and hardware by means of human interaction in lieu of technical means. Penetration testers are very skilled at this and without proper rules being in placed and members of an organization enforcing them, penetration testers are often successful. Even with firewalls, antivirus software and malware protection, a crafty penetration tester, social engineering tactics can be used to gain unauthorized access. To counter social engineering and identity theft, rules and policies need to be not only in place but everyone must adhere to and follow them. One of the most common ways social engineering is used to gain unauthorized access is through piggybacking. Members of an organization need to adhere to anti piggybacking policies and ensure that if there is someone in an area that requires a special access badge they need to report that person. Never allowing someone to follow them into a restricted area, or use their credentials to allow someone into an area. Protecting passwords, using strong passwords or passphrases as well as safeguarding logon credentials such as common access cards is important as well. Reporting any suspicious activity is important as well to protect against social engineering methods. It is also important that users are educated on methods such as phishing and other email scams that are aimed to get users to click on a link which is malicious or download attachments that will infect a network. Education is the biggest prevention method as many users are not even aware of the threats, signs to look for or even how to report them. These methods will help prevention of social engineering and identify theft however it is important to know that continued education and training is the best way to counter these attacks.

Production and Research Honeypots Response

reply to discussion post below Collins,When trying to catch someone trying to steal your car or anything of value, the thought of advertising a decoy in order to catch someone always comes to mind. The same goes for trying to catch someone trying to hack into a network that you or a company may value. To setup a decoy, a honeypot is created (think honey like what Pooh Bear would REALLY want) that looks like a valid system on the network that is exposed and vulnerable for hackers to try to attack (EC-Council). If the attacker takes the bait, then that attacker will reveal his or her methods while trying to attack that system. The attacker would probably start passively scanning, but then quickly go to actively scanning and enumerating, and once the port of entry is decided upon, would attack using their preferred method of attack. Since legitimate users on the network have no need for the honeypot and may not even know it’s there, it is assumed that any attempts at accessing the honeypot will be considered hostile (Rouse).Two different types of honeypots exist: production and research honeypots. Production honeypots are created to exist within the company’s network and to reveal attacks as well as slow down attackers while research honeypots are used to reveal types of attacks and discover new practices (Rouse). One really neat idea is to place data with unique identifying properties that can “help analysts track stolen data and identify connections between different participants in an attack (Rouse).”The biggest downfall to honeypots is that, as we read in the Certified Ethical Hacker book, honeypots can be identified by enumerating the MAC addresses of the NICs or by probing the ports with TCP packets to see if they respond properly. Unfortunately, it’s not a perfect system but it would at least reveal some attacks!EC-Council. UMUC: Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) Version 10 eBook w/ iLabs (Volumes 1 through 4). [eVantage].

Generalist Case Management Discussion Response

Respond by adding or advancing the discussion.  A.) 1. Medical information is essential to working with people who are looking for services that provide extra care/resources for their disability or incapability to work or preform day to day tasks. “A general medical examination and specialists’ reports help determine the person’s functional limitations and potential for rehabilitation” (Woodside & McClam, 2018, p.277) Medical information contributes to the clients case file by providing professional documentation of a client’s limitations, so that the case manager can provide and coordinate services to the client that fits their needs. The case manager should be familiar with some medical terminology or be familiar with using sources such as PDR or DSM-5.  “The role of a medical consultant is to interpret the available medical data, determine any implications for health and employment, and recommend further medical care if needed” (Woodside & McClam, 2018, p.280) This is helpful for a case manager helps the case manager further knowledge and provide future recommendations on the clients conditions or if more medical treatment or services are necessary.B.) Medical information and medical consultations help a case manager in many aspects. For one, the case manager will be able to interact with the service medical provider and see what the assistance is that the client may need (Woodside & McClam 2018). This also gives them the opportunity to ask questions as well (). When a client is referred for a psychological evaluation there are contents of the report that are important to the case manager. One of the reasons that a case manager may refer a client to go to one of these evaluations is to establish a possible diagnosis that meets the criteria to see the eligibility for the different services available (Woodside & McClam, 2018). Another reason for a psych evaluation could be to “provide justification for a particular service” and also to resolve any contradictions and add missing information (Woodside & McClam, 2018, p 289). These are just a few reasons as to why these things help the case managers.Woodside, M. and McClam, T. (2018). Generalist case management: A method of human service delivery (5th ed.).
