Assignment:

Your Assignment is to choose a real world IT security breach, and perform a case study. Within this study, analyze the method the attackers used to gain access, and the actions the attackers took once the network was penetrated. You should also identify the correct security procedures that should have been in place to prevent this breach. The choice of incident is completely up to you, but please keep in mind that it should reflect an actual breach and require research on your part. Please keep in mind that in many situations, details of the attack may not have been revealed due to our culture of corporate secrecy and/or pending litigation, so please choose a case wisely.

Requirements:

Within this case study, please include the attacking methods, the security failures, and a review of the corporate response. Additionally, please indicate a suggested correction to both the security that would have prevented this breach, and indicate any improvements that the company could have made with its corporate response.

The paper should be at last 1750 words pages in length, double spaced, standard font with default margins.

All citations should be made using APA 6 th edition guidelines, and please include a minimum of 5 valid citations, although you should remember that any statement of fact that is not common knowledge or "assumed" should be backed up with a citation.
