...Crystal Smith 8/30/2015 NT2580-Week 5 Essay Public and Private Sectors Agree: Strong Manufacturing Is Key to U.S. Innovation and a Competitive Future Federal Government Seeks Input on Cross-Sector Initiatives to Bolster Manufacturing New York, May 15, 2012 U.S. scientists, industry leaders, and public officials joined on May 8, 2012, for a discussion on how to nurture talent and fuel new scientific breakthroughs for America to have options that are more competitive. Among the speakers and participants were experts in research and development, renewable energy, smart grid, and advanced manufacturing, representing a number of member organizations of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) from both the public and private sectors. The very important message was that our ability to innovate and build a stronger U.S. economy is very dependent on our manufacturing capability. The Advanced Manufacturing National Program Office, an interagency effort based at NIST, has released a request for information (RFI) seeking ideas, recommendations, and other public input on the design, governance, and other aspects of public-private partnership, the National Network for Manufacturing Innovation (NNMI). The NNMI will be the foundation of a U.S. innovation infrastructure of up to 15 linked regional hubs of manufacturing excellence, called Institutes of Manufacturing Innovation (IMIs). The IMIs would join industry, universities, community colleges, federal agencies, and...

...How was TJX vulnerable to breaches? How did the situation escalated into a full scale breach. TJX was vulnerable to the breach because of failed attempts to update security which could have prevented the breach. TJX performed an audit and it found that it was non-compliant with 9 of the 12 requirements for a secure payment transaction. Gonzalez used a simple packet sniffer to hack into the system. The packet sniffer Gonzalez used went undetected for several months. TJX failed to notice any data being transferred from their own server which allowed them to lose 80 GB of data. Gonzalez had blind servers in Latvia and Ukraine that were used to breach the system (NT2580: Week 1). Gonzalez performed reconnaissance on their retail stores. Then Gonzalez determined a weakness in the payment systems and utilized malware to intercept credit card information. Gonzalez committed this crime between 2006 through 2008 before being caught. Gonzalez was an informant for the Secret Service which Gonzalez took part in an undercover operation related to a card theft case (Sileo, Operation Get Rich or Die Tryin' Still Lives). Gonzalez was sentenced for the largest computer crime case that has been documented. The only motive Gonzalez has was technical curiosity and obsession with conquering computer networks. Gonzalez’s attorney argued that some of the loses were the result of TJX’s own negligence. If security upgrades were done then it may have prevented the breach (Zetter,TJX Hacker Gets...

...10/ 1/ 2014 NT2580 Unit 2 assignment 1 The workgroup consists of three primary workgroups, which contain group membership lists of users within the Active Directory infrastructure that currently exists on the SMB Server that is located within the confines of the LAN structure. The security breach, which is defined as any event that results in a violation of any of the CIA (confidentiality, integrity, availability) security principles, was caused by the SMB server being accessed by an unauthorized user due to a security hole that was detected by the server software manufacturer the previous day. The security patch will not be available until possible as long as three days, but hopefully within that timeframe. In addition, the LAN administrator needs at least one week (minimum) to download, test, and install the patch. To calculate the Window of Vulnerability (WoV) for this security breach, the following timeline will be used as a guideline to determine the basis for calculation: First it is important to understand the variables considered in this timeline formula. The WoV is the period within which defensive measures are reduced, compromised, or lacking. The WoV covers a timeline from the moment vulnerability is discovered and identified by the vendor. It also includes the time taken to create, publish, and finally apply a fix to the vulnerability. It is also important to explore the device(s) that were targeted by the attack. In this instance, being the SMB server within...
