Discovery and Mitigation of Threats (Assignment 1)

Introduction

Human threats such as theft, terrorism, and malicious insider attacks are considered significant threats to XYZ Corporation, a multi-national company located in Las Vegas, Nevada. The international information technology security team has recently discovered host-to-host threats using footprinting techniques such as port scanning and session hijacking.

The IT security team decided to use host-to-host security protocols such as Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) to mitigate the host-to-host threats. However, the cybersecurity blue team recommends the implementation of a symmetric algorithm such as Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 256 to protect data in XYZ Corporation.
