information security

In your role as a highly paid consultant, you are given a list of potential threats to and vulnerabilities of the current communication security protocols of an organization. You are asked to provide quantitative data to measure the likelihood that any of these threats will actually occur for the information assets of the client. Conduct research and describe resources you found that might provide insight into measuring the likelihood that some of the threats would actually occur. In the explanation, include whether you see a trend in resources that might indicate a specific industry is particularly involved in gathering this kind of data. Additionally, evaluate which communication security protocols are more effective and provide an explanation.

List of Possible Threats/Vulnerabilities

• Spoofingis attempting to gain access to a system by using a false identity. This can be accomplished using stolen user credentials or a false IP address. After the attacker successfully gains access as a legitimate user or host, elevation of privileges or abuse using authorization can begin.

• Tamperingis the unauthorized modification of data, for example, as it flows over a network between two computers.

• Repudiationis the ability of users (legitimate or otherwise) to deny that they performed specific actions or transactions. Without adequate auditing, repudiation attacks are difficult to prove.

• Information disclosureis the unwanted exposure of private data. For example, a user views the contents of a table or file he or she is not authorized to open, or monitors data passed in plaintext over a network. Some examples of information disclosure vulnerabilities include the use of hidden form fields, comments embedded in webpages that contain database connection strings and connection details, and weak exception handling that can lead to internal system-level details being revealed to the client. Any of this information can be very useful to the attacker.

• Denial of serviceis the process of making a system or application unavailable. For example, a denial of service attack might be accomplished by bombarding a server with requests to consume all available system resources or by passing it malformed input data that can crash an application process.

Elevation of privilegeoccurs when a user with limited privileges assumes the identity of a privileged user to gain privileged access to an application. For example, an attacker with limited privileges might elevate his or her privilege level to compromise and take control of a highly privileged and trusted process or account
