Week 6 Discussion

 

Physical security attacks can come in many forms. One relatively new attack method comes through the use of drones. Swarms of drones have been seen flying over our military bases, such as over Langley Air Force Base (Joint Base Langley-Eustis) in Virginia.

Respond to the following:

• Describe the physical security breach, focusing primarily on IT systems, including what might have happened and the scope of what could have been breached.
• Explain what actions could have been taken immediately to minimize or mitigate the effects of this breach.
• Discuss long-term best practices that should be put in place to mitigate this type of event in the future.

After reading a few of your classmate's postings, reply to those from which you learned something new or to which you have something constructive to add. For example:

• Discuss what you learned.
• Ask probing questions or seek clarification.
• Explain why you agree or disagree with your classmate's main points, assertions, assumptions, or conclusions.
• Suggest research strategies or specific resources on the topic.

Be sure to respond to at least one of your classmates' postings. Join the discussion early and post often.
