Potential threats and mitigation tools for ransomware (Assignment one)
Purpose of the assessment (with ULO Mapping) Students should be able to demonstrate their achievements in the following unit learning outcomes:
b. Analyse and discuss common emerging threats, attacks, mitigation and countermeasures in networked information systems
Assignment Description
The security remains a challenge in networked information systems. One of the fastest evolving malware is ransomware. The ransomware embeds itself onto the computer in such a manner that it cannot be segregated, and even rebooting causes the ransomware to launch malicious code again. A ransomware continues to be a serious threat to the network users.
Assume you have an interview for the ransomware analyst position with Regal Security Solutions company. You are supposed to be prepared about the ransomware, their types, threats, and mitigation tools. In this context write a report including the following sections:
A. Introduction about ransomware and their impacts on the society
B. Discussion of any five variants of ransomware (Consider some recently developed ransomware)
C. The working mechanism of ransomware
D. Potential threats posed by ransomware
E. Case study of at least one recent attack carried out by the ransomware
F. Recommendations on any two mitigation tools to tackle the ransomware attack and discuss the effectiveness of the selected tools
