Steps 2 and 3 were also added to make sure all information was provided for step 4. Let me know if you will need my log in information again.
Step 2: Identify Attack Vectors You and your nation state have just suffered an intrusion attack. As a cyber security professional, one of the first steps is to identify potential attack vectors. For each known cyber security vulnerability and known threats (addressing cyber security threats through risk management, international cyber security approaches, you and your team members need to identify attack vectors via information systems hardware, information systems software, operating systems (operating systems fundamentals, operating system protections), telecommunications (Internet Governance), and human factors (intrusion motives/hacker psychology). Then, you must determine if any attribution is known for the threat actor most likely involved in exploiting each weakness.
Review the materials on attack vectors if a refresher is needed. Once you've identified the attack vectors in this step, you will be able to participate in the next step, in which you will discuss your findings with colleagues and compare the findings with their analyses.
Step 3: Discuss Attack Vectors and Known Attribution You should research incidents of known attribution of the hackers and actors who employ the attack vectors previously discussed by your group. This step provides a variety of options and perspectives for your group to consider when drafting the Attack Vector and Attribution Analysis in the next step.
This step also provides the foundation for research into known attribution, which will help you to discern the motivation for intrusion and the identity of the hackers and actors who employ the attack vectors noted.
Step 4: Analyze Attack Vectors and Known Attribution You've discussed attack vector and attribution with your nation state team members. In this step, your group will prepare an Attack Vector and Attribution Analysis of your group's findings in the previous steps. The analysis should first identify all possible attack vectors via hardware, software, operating systems, telecommunications, and human factors. Next, you should discuss whether attribution is known for the threat actor (hackers and actors) likely involved in exploiting each weakness. Integrate supporting research via in-text citations and a reference list. This analysis will play a key role in the development of a Vulnerability Assessment Matrix and Cyber security .
